“ My family and I love eating at Athens. We usually eat there at least once a week. Everyone who works at Athens is so nice and the food is amazing!! ”
“ Wonderful little eclectic restaurant. Food was wonderful and the wait staff is awesome. Highly recommend ”
“ Very nice. I had been wanting to come here for a long time so finally we got up off the couch and went. We were not disappointed. I really wanted the spinach feta pie, but they were out, so I got the tuna pita instead, which was wonderful. I was there with a party of five (including my child) and everyone was really happy with their meals. The service was fantastic and friendly. My parents were a little late arriving, so my son enjoyed playing in the little toy kitchen set-up they had in the corner. (He found dinosaurs in one of the containers, so he was in his element.) What a great distraction for the kiddos, along with coloring books and crayons. We all had dessert too and while I didn't get to try the baklava, I think among all of the others the limoncello was my favorite. Very cool ambiance. As for the decor, it is cluttered and quirky and very Greek. Loved every corner. Even some historic politicians were enjoying the food and the ambiance. Opa! ”
“ This place is so much fun! Wax figures and hilarious signs populate the tables and walls of this gem. Funny and down to earth staff keep the energy right, and the Greek food is terrific. The flaming cheese was an "Opa" inducing spectacle for the whole restaurant to marvel. And it tasted great! As did the Athens fries (it's amazing what a little vinaigrette and feta can do)! The gyro also did not disappoint. My wife ordered a Turkey melt, which she thought was okay. I think the lesson is to order Mediterranean from a Mediterranean restaurant, and you won't be disappointed. ”
“ Can't leave Canton without eating at Athens. Good home cooked meals and fantastic, personalized service. Ambiance is a must see! Don't leave Canton without visiting this place first breakfast or lunch! ”
“ At first we were a little weary walking in and at first seeing human like props of an old woman and man at the front room table, later to learn that the props and old fashioned-homely feel of the restaurant kept a smile on our faces throughout the whole experience from start to end. Service was great, the young sweet girl serving coffee was on point and the family feel was awesome and just the whole environment within the restaurant was well worth the visit which made the food taste so much more richer and delicious. We came all the way from Maui, Hawaii and we loved the experience. A place to remember for a lifetime, for sure. I hope this place stay opens forever. Mahalo, Ohana Artates (Awakea & Erica) ”
“ Fun, eclectic restaurant with a fun and friendly staff! We started out with flaming cheese which was delicious. Then we split the gyro bowl and the special was pastitsio. Both were healthy portions and very tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The fun decor is a plus - you need to see it!! ”
“ My first Greek breakfast and it was amazing! Awesome food and great service. A quirky place that feels like family. ”
“ Amazing food! Amazing service! The "sex on the beach" dessert was amazing! I LOVED IT ALL! ”
“ We were introduced here by Frankie and Lyndie who are locals in the area, (we're from Florida) and we were not disappointed whenever we visited Ohio we always had to be here and enjoyed their awesome food, the staff were all amazing, accommodating and always had smiles on their faces and it showed how they love to be working there. Food so great, ambience so unique and interesting. I even bought one of their t - shirt. it. We will never get tired coming to this awesome restaurant. Thanks so much everyone. ”
