We just had dinner for the 2nd time here.We've been in Charlotte for 9 years and Mooresville for almost a year. Finding a true Greek diner has been HARD.The chicken parm is excellent! Tha fish and chips-delicious.My wife likes the French toast so much she has had it both times.The service is quick and friendly, even with only one server on a Saturday night.Can't wait to work our way through the whole menu!

We have eaten at Athena's Cafe a half dozen times including breakfast and dinner. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff very accommodating. Their sweet tea, pork chops and flounder/shrimp are family favorites.

Sorry to say this, but the food was mediocre. I had higher expectations based on a friend's recommendation. Perhaps it was what we ordered (Greek salad with salmon and eggplant parm) but you would think those would have been among of their best offerings. The salad was nothing special, although the dressing was good, but the salmon was disappointing. My DIL's eggplant parmigiana was just okay. We were the only ones there during the dinner hour. At first, our waiter seemed annoyed, but warmed up with a little prodding. I wouldn't go back unless it was to try their b'fast menu, which they offer all day.

First of all, I give this restaurant 5 stars for the food as everything I have received has been freshly made, great tasting and the portions are huge especially in a time whereas everyone is cutting back.Second, this restaurant, owner and staff went above and beyond today (01/04/24) with exceptional customer service on a door dash order gone wrong. I placed an order and the staff called me to let me know the pasta was still cooking and it would be awhile and asked to sub another dish. I really wanted the dish I ordered so I tried to cancel the door dash order but couldn't and in the interim of waiting on my food, a dasher inadvertently canceled out food on my order. To my surprise the owner allowed me to pay him directly and he had one of his staff personally deliver the food. If that wasn't enough, he threw in extra food at his cost. This restaurant has all day breakfast and a huge variety of food on their menu, including vegetarian options. Go check them out!

Athena's Cafe on River Hwy really hit the spot tonight. We both had breakfast (served all day!), and it was all so good. Eggs, French toast, pork chop, bacon, and biscuits and gravy. They also serve lunch and dinner, which we plan to try asap. Go and give them a try!

Just had an absolute great meal. The meatloaf and the potatoes and green beans were fantastic. The strawberry shortcake dessert was phenomenal. I tried the soup and it was wonderful. My wife got a sandwich and the turkey on it was really good. Not some deli meat but real turkey. I can't wait to try all the different omelettes and breakfast items.

race city finally has a little greek joint in town! yea for us! the offerings are a bit restrained by midwestern-greek-joint standards but still cover a lot of ground in a few pages: standard breakfast fare plus salads, sandwiches, and pasta. add some seafood and some diner dinners and it starts to get busy like all good greek joint menus...stopped in for a morsel a while ago and did alright... coffee, icy water, hot tea and a table outside please? way too peopley inside and September was being kind to us so yeah, lunching al fresco.MLB got cakes and eggs and bacon which were about what you'd expect: eggs over easy with soft yolks, bacon still a little bendy, cakes light and fluffy but yellower on the inside than we are accustomed. CFS for me: breaded chop steak under sausage gravy plus two eggs up, taters and toast. all of it done well and served hot with refills on the beverages in a timely manner.no complaints this time around, time will tell if it's a fluke or normal operations. hoping for the latter as a good non-doughnut breakfast is getting hard to find.

The husband and I just tried out Athenas for breakfast and it was great. We were greeted when we entered by a very friendly waitstaff. I ordered a strawberry cranberry mimosa, it was delicious. The pancakes were huge! And everything was tasty. They serve the whole menu, breakfast lunch and dinner all day long so we will definitely come back.

Been there several times. I cant think of anything that I've ever gotten there that wasn't good. The wait staff is the best and friendliest people your going to find anywhere. I'm more of a breakfast person and they are muy go to for breakfast when I'm eating out locally.

$13 for a dry omelet and meh coffee. Very disappointing. Was hoping that a smaller non-chain restaurant would offer something special.
