The entire staff is extremely friendly. We had a party of 18 and every meal looked very appetizing. Everyone was extremely happy with the quality of their meal. The belly dancer was an added bonus for the evening. It is always nice to see when an establishment takes pride in their product and service. This was my second time here and I plan on returning frequently.
Buon Natale.
καλά Χριστούγεννα.

Our club had our Christmas dinner party here. This place along with the staff were great. The food was delicious and the staff was very polite courteous, friendly and willing to please. They also have live music and a belly dancer which was entertaining

I love the Athens Cafe. I have been going to it since I moved to Jacksonville in the 1980's, when it has had many long term owners, but the co owners now of Sam and Victoria are fantastic! My normal meal of Gyro platter they elevated to a fine art, but now my comfort food is shrimp sovvlaki. The shrimp is plentiful, the mixed vegetables grilled to perfection (varies between squash, zuccinni, onion, bell pepper, and mushroom!) and delightful flavorful rice. I follow it with coffee and baklava made by Victoria. (She makes all the desserts!) The only reason I haven't gained weight is I joined the gym.

Called and received the friendliest salutation from Rita. I was in search of saganaki (flaming goat cheese) and a super fresh Greek salad. I got more than I could imagine! Rita and the owner, Victoria, greeted me like family. Victoria bought this restaurant in January 2023. Completely remodeled it and brought her cooking expertise. She's originally from Albania, lived in Italy for years, then to the U.S. to chase her dreams. She prepares EVERYTHING from scratch every day. The ingredients were super fresh with robust Mediterranean flavors. Victoria has a rich history in baking. You must try her bread. There's live entertainment here, too. Jazz, belly dancing, and much more. This establishment caters to events and hosts holiday parties.

I haven't been to the Athens Cafe on St Augustine Road in a long time. The restaurant has new owners and the food was delicious. I had the vegetarian Dolmades with the orzo, my friend had the lamb Souvlaki. The desserts, oh my, how could we choose? Baklava layered, Greek cookies, Greek chocolate cake, and more!! We will be back soon.

I stopped in for lunch, not very busy on this day. Smiles by all when I walked in. I sat at the bar to order food to go and was greeted by the owner and a colleague. Very friendly and had infectious accents and laughs while I was deciding on what to order. I ordered the shrimp kabobs with green beans and potatoes. They brought me two teas, one in a glass while I waited and one to go cup, very nice touch!! The shrimp was spot on, the potatoes were good and the green beans (with carrots) was ok, but probably not my cup of tea with the sauce it was cooked in. I went back later to grab my wife so baklava and when I got home, there was a little something extra in the box! My wife approved of the desert and among the best he's had. This place looks like its festive during happy hours they plan, so I'd highly recommend checking out this place.

We've come to the Athens Cafe more than a few times over the years and have always been delighted.
The service is prompt, professional, and friendly. The menu is straightforward and understandable, and the food is delicious. Add to this a comfortable and engaging atmosphere and you have an excellent choice for a family dinner or a quiet date night.
Lastly, the free, ample, parking is welcome and appreciated.
If you have not been, you are doing yourself a disservice. If you know about The Athens Cafe, your life is better for it.

I forgot to take a picture of the plate before I ate it, but I got the Lamb Shank.
The seasoning was well-balanced, the lamb was slowed cooked to perfection, fall off the bones, the seasoning was so good I drank it.
Only issue they forgot my orzo, that why only 4 stars.
Overall, give the Lamp Shank a try if you want quality food.

I absolutely love, love Athenian Cafe !
This place has the most delicious food and the best homemade desserts. Their Greek salad and Horiatiki (village) salad along with their seafood ,from grilled fish , grilled or fried Calamari , Shrimps and grilled Octopus you will be in cloud number 9 ! Their appetizers are also delicious. Just to name a few that I’ve tried , Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves, meat or vegetarian) drizzled in lemon sauce , flaming cheese Saganaki (OPA Cheese !) , giant beans baked with tomato sauce and baked eggplant in tomato sauce . Mousaka (eggplant dish ) , Spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese baked on filo dough ) , so well prepared and delicious. You may not want to leave the table without trying their desserts .I’ve tried their Tiramisu (homemade) , I felt like I stepped in heaven .
This place is a gem . Delicious food, great service and very clean . Worth every penny .
Thank you Athenian Cafe !
