Absolutely incredible. I am blown away by the quality and prices of this restaurant. The owners are so friendly and it was obvious they care about their food. The deserts are handmade and amazing. I can not recommend this place enough.
This the some of the best quality and value food I've had in the city. I am very very happy right now. Will be going back very often!
Everything about this place is awesome. Loved every dish I’ve had there. Moreover, if you’re a dessert lover you need to stop what you’re doing and drive here and treat yourself to some HOME MADE sweets. Absolutely unreal. Legit, I take desserts pretty seriously and this lovely lady can rustle up a fine one, there’s no doubt about that. Red velvet cake pictured for reference.
My wife and I hit this place up whenever we can, which can be once a week. The food is so delicious and fresh, it leaves you satisfied and feeling great. Aside from that, the ambiance is welcoming and the owners make a genuine effort to connect with everyone. It’s the experience we keep coming back for.
Good quality food and portions reflect the price, which was great. Customer service is 💯, funny guy at front. It's definitely my new spot for propa Greek food. The gyros were on point, but the Souvlaki was a little dry. I'm sure once I let them know, they'll address that issue, but overall, I am happy that this spot serves quality fresh food.
I absolutely LOVE this place!! THESE PEOPLE KNOW FOOD! Their food is so authentic and delicious 🤤🤤 I cannot recommend her desserts enough!! I can eat here twice a week or more! This will be the best Greek you ever have!!
This is a newly opened place where you can get some delicious Greek food. I enjoy the interior decor, the easy menu and eager customer service. The potatoes have a lemon flavor to it which really cuts into some of the grease and compliments the overall taste. The portions are large enough to have you filled. The only thing that might detour newcomers may be the price as it's twice as much as your average fast food neighbors however it is worth its price in quality. I suggest everyone give this place a try.
Amazing food and customer service! Food is super authentic, quality and taste is 20/10. Portions and perfect and so is the price. Ate there 2 days in a row. Can get enough. You will not have a pita ANYWHERE in town this Amazing.... Super excited for the Lamb dish that's coming. Desserts are soooo good!
Hidden gem in Fort McMurray! Gregoires Greek dinner was a flavor explosion! The souvlaki was tender and juicy, Authentic Greek cuisine in the heart of Alberta - dont miss it! 5/5 stars thank you ! The lady that took care of of me was amazing and very kind thanks again
Parking: Such a great great place. Great food and very friendly staff!!! Food
Most delicious food and incredible desserts ever.
The best Authentic Greek cuisine in town! Awesome service. Highly recommended.
Always a pleasure. Food is excellent and staff is courteous and friendly. They always ensure I leave on a happy note. They also cater to my lactose intolerant needs so I can have my caffeine treat. Highly recommend!! Dietary restrictions: They ensure I dont have lettuce in my meal and are cautious with those with allergies.
A beautiful little restaurant. Great interior. The chicken gyro was fantastic. Next time, id probably get tzatziki instead of house sauce, but the house sauce is also good. Its like a thousand island. I also had Spanakopita, crispy with savory feta and spinach filling. But the real takeaway, the thing that absolutely will make this place a fortmcmurray staple from now on is the baked goods. I had the german carrot cake. Its so good, 100% something special and worth making a trip for. Also, the prices are very reasonable for the portion size
Best Greek restaurant in town So delicious
Absolutely AMAZING food.
The food and service was amazing. We shared the rustic salad and chicken skewers with Greek salad and a side of potatoes. If you are looking for something fresh, authentic, and family made give this place a try.
We went to buy cheesecake. Lots of varieties and generous portions. Delicious.
What a nice and cozy place. One of the best taste in town. I will go back without any hesitation. Owners are very nice and friendly. Food : 5/5 |
Great place focused on great food.
The food is so good and tastes just as light and delicious as when I went to Greece. Eat here, it s on another level compared to other places that have gyros
This is one of the few places where you can go and have a bite to eat in FMM. Friendly staff, normal service, cleanliness... All this distinguishes this establishment from many Canadian brand favorites in this area. From: Family Oleks, Tania and Osia Matsiburas Thank you!
Just got back from a 2 week trip to Greece and the gyros are better here
Omg! So fresh - so good. Wasnt even in the mood for Greek!
I didnt even know this place existed because of the location, Gregoire, normally, unless you work there, none goes there for a drive or looking for a place to eat, just heard about it and went to try it, the place is small with a fewer tables but inviting, now the food, probably, or most likely, the best Greek food I ever tried (havent been in Greece yet),the portions are generous and the prices reasonable to cheap considering that even crappy fast food is overpriced nowadays, I ordered the lamb shank and it was superb. they have a nice size menu and variety with great options, all tastes fresh. I tried the coffee and the tiramisu, both excellent. It is one of the best places to eat in town.
Had an awesome meal there yesterday. Tried the Greek potatoes instead of fries on owners suggestion. .... Delish! Will be back!
Had food today and cheese cake excellent fresh food and homemade dessert and friendly people try it you will not be disappointed
I had suggested our travel group to have lunch at this place as it was nearby and had great ratings. But I was a bit nervous as we had a really diverse multicultural group and was not sure of everyone preferences. But this place lived up to the expectations! The food was really top notch, reasonably priced and everyone was quite happy with their meal.
Food - always top notch - fresh and delicious! Service - welcoming, friendly, very hospitable. Atmosphere - clean, cheerful, authentic! Food : 5/5
This is my #1 favourite restaurant in town. The food is so delicious, and affordable. And the desserts are to die for!
Amazing food and serving sizes. We had a variety of dishes among our group and everything was so delicious and had enough for two meals. Definitely gonna be a regular from now on. Amazing staff and so sweet. Went above and beyond.
This place is amazing, been going to this lil spot for around 2 years. Its out of this world! And everytime, find it gets better! Authentic, so friendly and delicious! I suggest the Lamb shank and any dessert. If I could give +10 out of 5... I would. Thanks Athens!!!
Owners are super friendly! The portion is generous, the food is amazing!!!!! I had the pork gyro the first day and it was awesome. I couldnt finish it in one sitting. Second day I had to come back for the lamb shank, no regrets.
Hidden gem in Fort McMurray honestly, the food and price are impeccable, and the cleanliness of their kitchen is unmatched. Wonderful people running the place, would highly recommend.
Food was delicious,generous portions and reasonably priced. The desserts are all homemade and absolutely amazing. This place is a gem.
Half my rice was dry and inedible
What better than a local authentic Greek resteraunt. Amazing food cooked fresh right in front of you usually takes less than 5 minutes to be prepared. Highly recommend, every person I take here is hooked and comes back the next day. Vegetarian options: My girlfriend is Vegetarian and she gets the veggie platter. She loves the potatoes and the Greek salad with the rice. Along with other options I m sure we just haven t explored yet. Kid-friendliness: Welcoming atmosphere and the owners do very well with kids and friendliness.
The pork gyro wrap is amazing. Its the first gyro wrap I have tasted in Canada that comes close to a European style Gyros. You should open a restaurant in Edmonton.
Just had dessert but was delicious.
Very cheap and delicious meal, would definitely return I loved it !
A small business that appears to be family owned and run in the Gregoire District of Fort McMurray, its ambiance and food take me back to the same great dining I used to experience in Winnipeg long ago. As back then, I will keep coming back for more. !
Amazing spot - some of Fort Macs finest. Great deal for catering too!
Amazing, authentic food. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. Large portions and fair price.
Excellent food. Large portions for the prices! Love coming here when I get a chance.
This place has 5 stars for a reason! I pretty much get the chicken soulvaki pita every time, but man its so good!!!! There arent many options for places to get lunch in Gregoire, so its awesome to have a place that has great food and doesnt leave you feeling like garbage after. Its a family run business, and they are super friendly people. They deserve all the support. And the turn food out quickly. Lastly, the prices are great and the portion size is awesome. You guys rock.
My family and I love the food here. Everything is made fresh and large servings. You get your money worth when eatting here. The staff have all been very friendly and pleasant every time I go. The restaurant is clean and and so is the staff! Food : 5/5
Stopped in the check it out, dinner was fantastic, the owners were super friendly, if you have any questions about the menu they can explain everything. It was like a home cooked meal. I wound up buying food to go before I left
I had my lunch here. The food was great. The owner and his wife are so nice and welcoming. Next time Ill be here with my wife, because I am sure she will love the food too.
This place is the spot to go for lunch. Great food, great people, great prices. I come every day for lunch and never disappointed
Food is delicious and authentic. They are very friendly and it is also clean. Parking: Lots of parking Food : 5/5 |
You ever gone somewhere to eat and the food tastes so good you forgot you had to be at work? Fresh, juicy and made authentic. This is Greek food. Absolutely delicious. I finished my gyro and wanted to go back and get another regardless how full I was. It was that good. Great food, friendly and clean. Amazing. Keep up the amazing food!
This new restaurant is a hidden Gem . The food , prices , service and people are amazing.
This place is a real find for me! I haven t eaten Greek food for ten years, but when I saw the pita gyros, my mouth started watering. If anything, I ate one gyros, then another)) I now have a favorite place to eat in Fort McMurray!
Food is absolutely delicious, and staff are very friendly, highly recommended and I will be a frequent customer for lunch and supper. Update as I was finishing this, there was a skip the dish order issue with the driver delivering to somewhere else, not at all Athens fault nor within their control, but after I had stopped in on the way home and reordered take out they still called me and offered to make it right due to the earlier hiccup next time I stop in. Absolutely amazing customer service, best in class and I look forward to the next time I stop in!
This is a rarity in Fort Mac. Kudos to the whole team at Athens for making great tasting food and providing beyond excellent service. Price point and portions are spot on!
Food tastes amazing and the staff are always friendly and helpful
Came in for the first time and loved it so much! Amazing, authentic gem in Fort McMurray, Greek owned which is great. The chicken gyro wrap was fantastic. I will definitely be back
Amazing place!!!
Excellent service and the food and desserts was the best I ever tested
Amazing flavours and glad this place opened up! Worth the trip all the way down!
Parking: Clean delicious healthy food and amazing people Food
Ordered a chicken gyro wrap and it was amazing. And for $8 you can t beat it! Go here now!
Great spot for Greek food. The staff are friendly and made sure everything was good on our table. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. The desserts are amazing and would recommend the tiramisu personally. Overall an excellent place for sit in or take out. I would love it if this place gets the recognition it deserves.
Food was great! Greek dressing and tzatziki were awesome! We usually go to opas every other week but we will be coming here instead from now on!
Delicious and fresh food!! Excellent prices and friendly service. Amazing variety of desserts. I recommend this place to anyone! Food : 5/5 |
Delicious, try the chicken skewers or chicken gyro you won t be disappointed. The prices are great too.
Everything I have tried has been fresh and delicious. The chicken souvlaki platter is huge and everything on it was delicious. The dressing on the Greek salad is so good! I also tried the pork gyro which was very flavourful. The tiramisu is one of the best I have had and was also made fresh. Can t wait to go back and try more menu items and desserts!
Great food. Busy at lunch time but guys do the best to service the customers fast.
Great food!!!
Finally! What a great little hidden gem. Food is excellent. Prices are super reasonable. Portions are great value for the price. Real food and can tell its high quality ingredients. Excellent service. Open just over a week and we have been there multiple times.
My Father, my two year old daughter and I came to the restaurant because it was so highly recommended. I will return on a damn near weekly basis because I recommend it! A wonderful family runs the place, they were so kind to my daughter and the food was Chronic the Hedgehog. Seriously, $9.50 for the most amazing lunch? I m in. I also want to know where they purchase their tomatoes. Delicious and fresh!
The food was absolutely delicious and a generous portion size. Staff was very friendly and genuinely cared about the customer s experience.
Excellent!
If you haven t all ready tried their food then you re missing out! Service is excellent and the food is simple amazing! The price are excellent as well! Thank you for an absolutely tasty meal! We will be back! You are our new favourite place to eat!!
My new favourite go to restaurant! Food is fresh and super delicious. All have to try this restaurant as its one you dont want to miss out on.
Food continues to be amazing, three weeks in! I forgot to mention in my earlier review -- this may be the only place in town you can still get a plastic straw!!! Food
Authentic Greek food ! Delicious and very affordable for the quality ! Tiramisu is a must try. Recommend!
The food is very Well prepared, And very tasty. If youre one that goes to the franchise Place up in Fort McMurray, Athens has better prices and better food hands down. Food
Perfect Just Perfect.
Love when we find great food, very flavourful and big portions. Will definitely be back for more!
I have lived in Fort McMurray half my life and have honestly never had a meal so perfect and delicious! Highly recommend! Prices were fantastic and the staff and atmosphere were excellent as well
Loved this place. The food was amazing and so was the service. We will definitely be eating here again the next time we re in town.
Great food, Great people and a Great atmosphere. Will definitely be a regular spot when I m in town. Food is all high quality and will not disappoint!
We came in here tonight because of the great reviews and we were not disappointed! The meals were delicious, the staff were fantastic and the service was fast! The platters were huge and the desserts are all home made Absolutely a 5 star restaurant that we will definitely be back to. Vegetarian options: They have salads and a vegetarian platter to. Parking: Big parking lot with lots of spaces. Kid-friendliness: They have fries on the menu which most kids gravitate to and the staff were all so kind and chatted with all 3 of my girls.
Wow. My husband and I took our toddler there for an easy supper night. Quality food with fresh ingredients and even was double thumbs up from my kid. The atmosphere was so clean and the decor was perfect. Service was fast and friendly, answered all my questions without hesitation. I will come back time and time again, it s worth the extra drive if you live uptown like us. So impressed! Parking: Parking lot is in rough shape so take your time!
This place is amazing! Fantastic food, lovely friendly staff, great value. Please support this great local restaurant, you wont be disappointed!!
I didn t have high hopes for Greek food in FMM, but so happy we stopped by. The staff was super friendly, menu had so many choices, and the home made Tzatziki was next level!!! Do yourself a favour, skip the drive through and go for the Greek!!!
Stopped at Athens - Greek Street Food on the way home a few weeks ago for the first time. Food was amazing and portions almost too big! I dont know how they do it for the price. Had the Lamb and Pork. The lamb was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Got in there just under the wire, didnt realize they closed early or I would have tried more (not that we could have eaten it). Gave 3 stars for atmosphere only because I did take out quickly as they were about to close. Great reason to go back to dine in and update that portion of the review.
What an awesome place?!?!?!?!? I ll start with the staff Very friendly, and are very interactive with customers! Asking if things are ok, your thoughts on the food, etc! The food: OMG this stuff is good! I had the Chicken Gyro Platter! It was fantastic and the portions are incredible!!! The hidden treasure here is the potatoes!! They are roasted and seasoned perfectly and the olive oil sauce is absolutely perfect!!! The platter I had was $17 and worth every single dollar!!!! Check them out!
Very friendly staff the food is absolutely delicious who ever didnt try this place yet you really have to you wont be disappointed Parking: A hole big parking lot plenty of parking
Excellent, real Greek food prepared and served by friendly, welcoming Greek folk. Very generous honest portion size, top notch quality, taste and freshness! Absolutely recommend!
Absolutely fantastic! Simple, fresh, delicious and cheap.
The staff are super friendly and inviting! The menu has lots to offer, the is food is fresh and so delicious! Will be a visiting again!
My wife told me there was a Greek restaurant in town. My response was is it run by actual Greeks? lol. I phoned in an order for Lamb shank and Baklava. Food was delivered. Large portions. Very tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb dish. I would recommend this restaurant. We will definitely order again - Greek food is our favourite.
The best Greek food I ever had. You guys should have opened 30 years ago in Fort McMurray. I will be back.
I had the skepasti. It was amazing. Fresh ingredients delicious sauce, all around amazeballs. The deserts are just as good. Had baklava from the store before bit this is next level. If your thinking of travelling to Greece foe the food, skip the airplane and just go here.
