This restaurant is a must if you are in Florence or especially after a visit to the Greek Monastery. One of the best Greek restaurant, great food, great service. I would much recommend this place to all.
Food was excellent very flavorful but the service was above the top. The owner came over talked and laughed brought us drinks and desert great atmosphere and great food definitely worth the drive
My first impression of this place was great! The decor and aura of this place fits its name perfectly, 'Mount Athos' (Greek). The staff was absolutely great, kind to the older customers, and silly with the younger! And to top it off, the food was OUTSTANDING! Much recommended if you're in the area, or looking to try something new out of your normal!
One of THE BEST Burgers I've had! Tried the Southwestern Burger, $16, giant sized. I could only eat half, def shareable! Onion rings were On Point! Service with a smile, too! I definitely will be back!
The best Greek food I have ever had. Food tasted so fresh, service was great and portions were huge. Will definitely be back soon!!!
Food, service and atmosphere were fabulous. Peter you have a great restaurant and we will definitely be back!!!
I ordered a hamburger called My Mama (? I'm not sure). It also contained a piece of fried chicken covered with what tasted like Tapatio. 🤔 My wife ordered a gyro platter for her first taste of the meat. Both as delicious as the service was delightful. I would give a 5 to for atmosphere, but the food and the service will bring me back.

Family of 4 evening driving in from Coolidge lookin for some Greek. We arrived on a wed at about 5:30pm (the week going into New years weekend) and there was only 1 table seated so there was plenty of space in house.
This place is Greek’D out from the greeting of the hostess, server, owner, and lightly played music in the background. Beautiful restaurant, quaint, and It was Greekin awesome for a family night. There is a bar there too that we may check out in the future.
Excellent service, atmosphere, and delicious food. I ate the daily special: pork chops $20.79 (nice and tender meat, side salad-house dressing was good, note: menu has a different special everyday) with carrots that had a nice sweet savory taste and some hot steak fries seasoned to perfection, not too salty. Nicoletta (apologies if misspelled), our server, was pristine in checking up on us! even though she didn’t know the sauce that the cooks made with the Pork chop, I asked her to please get me a side of it and she put a rush on it!
My folks had the gyro platter (love the rice!) and the spicy gyro w/onion rings (picture) and they all loved it—especially with that Tzatziki sauce. Pita was served nice and hot.
Dessert: server provided options from memory since there was no menu for it and we took her favorite/recommendation which has a very “greek name” as Nicoletta put it and it tasted delicious (pictured) doughy pastry that was delicate, warm, and not too sweet with some cream. I could’ve eaten a whole one by myself but we ordered two plates and server cut it up for us 4 ways to share. It was DIVINE!
They wished us a happy new year on the way out and YES! Thank you-we will definitely be back in ‘23!
The experience was quite enjoyable. Don't Miss this opportunity. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They were very engaging. The food was quite authentic and delicious We certainly enjoyed this and will definitely really return again. If you want authentic Greek food from authentic Greek people this is the place to go.

This is some of the best Greek food I have ever had (and I have visited Greece twice, AND, I grew up in a Greek immigrant neighborhood). My wife and I had a Gyro platter each. They brought out a Greek salad to start. We thought it was a bit strange as it's usually served on the platter. No problem, though, as it was good and the feta cheese on it was very fresh. Then we received our platter. No wonder we got the salad first. There was no room for it! The plate was filled with thick and moist gyro meat, thick and soft pita bread, rice, and carrots seasoned with cinnamon. I have never had carrots served that way, but boy were they tasty. The cinnamon brings out their sweetness.
We were stuffed with the gyro platter, but we had to sample their baklava, so we split a piece. It was still a good portion each, and very moist.
We saw another couple eating gyro sandwiches and they looked packed with meat.
We highly recommend this restaurant. If we are ever back in Florence we will definitely return. The portions and quality of food are definitely worth the prices.
The service was great and the interior was very nice. A very family friendly atmosphere.
I recently made my first visit to Mt Athos for lunch. The interior was much nicer than the outside and very clean. I was greeted by my server promptly and browsed the menu.
As it was my first visit, I went for the Athos Gyro sandwich, which offered coleslaw and a pickle. The food arrived in just a few minutes but the restaurant was only half full.
The pita was warm and all the ingredients, fresh and flavorful. The coleslaw was average but a very small amount. The half pickle was very good.
The quality was good but the quantity, rather small. There wasn't as much meat as you would find in most Tucson Greek restaurants.
Overall, it was very adequate, but there was nothing to get excited about. While I would go back if I was in the area, it wouldn't be high on my list.
Server was Nicoleta (might've misspelled sry) and she was top tier. Always checking in on our group and always polite, it was a fantastic experience.
Food was extremely tasty as well. I ate the spicy gyro and it was terrific. Meat was moist, sauce wasn't too overbearing and the tatziki (sry again for spelling) was not too sour. Overall, Terrific flavor, first class service and welcoming environment made my family and I love this place. 5 stars
Ps the dessert was great. It was recommended by Nicoleta. Forgot what it was called but it was good. Not too sweet.
