The Athenian Cafe Reviews
athenians was my favorite place to eat but the fact that you now can't speak to someone to order I completely messed up my order because I do not understand Greek food terminology even after looking it up... the location is also not idea... they also now charge over $2 for feta cheese which used to be included
Frequently dine here and tonight was the first time the cook/owner refused to put the peppers on the side for the cheesesteak. Hardly any meat and no flavor will not be returning.
Your food is excellent and I've been a customer at the Union Ave location for years. I could call, place my order and it's ready when I arrive. Always excellent. Been waiting for the new location to open!
HOWEVER, I did not appreciate your new ordering system tonight when I tried to order our favorite. Can't speak with anyone, must order online. $3.95 service fee for the privilege of placing the order. Your new system gave me some cryptic response about the card I use everywhere...read full review
