Owner was very condescending re: our complaints. by by ss60 at Citysearch Report Less http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html Went on a Saturday afternoon -- the food was great! Awesome Dolmades, Avgalemono Soup and other appetizers. We had a very nice waitress and she really helped us enjoy the experience. \r \r Moved here from DC and use to lots of ethnic food and this Greek treat was very competive... And being Greek -- I know greek food. http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html I eat out all the time. I travel around the country and around the world a fairly good amount. This has some of the best Greek food that I have ever had. I agree with one reviewer who said something about the chicken salad being a bit dry. Other than that, it's 10 stars. The outdoor seating area is awesome now that the weather is decent. http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html "They have an incredible lunch and happy hour, but the ambiance is seriously lacking at dinner." http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html "Great, fast and reasonably healthy option for lunch downtown." http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html Very good food; don't let downtown parking scare you off. http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html Good place for quick lunch. http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html one of the WORST downtown http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html "Lunch service is cafeteria line, dinner is off menu.

Sorry.

Great outdoors seating and atmosphere for a nice chilled date. The gyro is just fantastic. http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html Two thumbs down!!! This place was a BIG disappointment. I have been wanting to try this place for a while since I love Mediterranean food. My friends and I got there just in time for happy happy hour… http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html Is it right to complain about parking when the restaurant you are going to is downtown?

Been going there for the past two years and now is the time to voice out my passion for this restaurant. Prices: good for the very generous plates that you get for lunch and dinner time as well as happy hr. Atmosphere: very good with back patio Service: excellent! very friendly! Popularity: very popular and you'll see the crowd especially lunch time! Food: DELICIOUS, VERY GOOD and the Best in town! so much better than the competitor Marakesh and El Greco Thank you! http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html I am proud to say I am Athenian's biggest fan. I've eaten at this authentic Greek restaurant four days a week for nearly three years (except for the occasional sick day and holiday, during which I pine for my daily chicken salad fix). I honestly think they get a little worried when I miss a day. The plates are so generous--not to mention scrumptious--that you could very easily take home leftovers for dinner. I can't live without the chicken salad (#1 on the menu and their specialty). The chicken is marinated in some special sauce that owner/chef Anil keeps secret (but promises is very healthy) and grilled on a sort of upright broiler which browns the chicken to a light crisp. I love watching them thinly slice the chicken off the spit. It's an art. Add the veggies--romaine lettuce, red onions, bell peppers--and a bit of feta cheese and homemade Italian-like dressing and you've got yourself a little bit of Heaven. But my actual favorite (can't have it now because I'm supposed to be gluten free) is the chicken sandwich, which is the same delicious chicken and veggies on a warm, homemade pita topped with the absolute most divine tzatziki sauce (they never laugh at me when I mispronounce it). It's a sour cream base rather than yogurt. Wonderfully fresh tasting! I also love the hummus and the yummy baklava. My husband prefers the lamb dishes. The menu is quite extensive and offers vegetarian dishes as well. Layout is perfect for the busy lunch crowd, with a buffet-type line led by the most efficient and speedy staff (See, I've gotten to know everyone). Then for dinner it turns into a beautifully appointed, white-tablecloth restaurant with a full bar and a great wine list. I promise you will be a repeat customer if you just try it once... http://www.yellowbot.com/athenian-bar-grill-austin-tx.html Great Happy Hour in downtown Austin.
