“ I only ordered a gyro and it was ok. The staff was super friendly and attentive, which I think would be a great reason to go here if I wanted a full on meal. ”

“ The food was flavourful and the portion was huge! We had the pork skewers, it was amazing ! The service was excellent! While we had some miscommunication with the orders, the server immediately fixed it for us! ”

“ The food was excellent. Absolutely outstanding. Homemade salad dressing, fresh feta, fat French fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They have outdoor seating and clean bathrooms. Fast service. I'm gonna remember this place and come back every time I have to drive the Taconic. ”

“ After a long morning of driving in and out the city from my brother's cabin, I was craving a Greek salad. I asked my sister in law where I could get one, and she said a place in Poughkipsie... we were right by the exit and took it. She sent me the name of a deli and I looked up to see Athena Gyro in the corner of my eye as if it was meant to be. We were greeted warmly by the staff and they let us sit outside with our dog (we were originally just going to do takeout because she was with us). The server was prompt and welcoming, I got a "small" Greek salad with chicken and my husband got a chicken gyro and Greek fries. My salad also came with fresh pita bread they made there. I had enough leftover to take home for my brother and sister in law to have lunch. Will definitely go again when we are in town. ”

“ This is still my go-to for sure, with the friendly staff and of course, the delicious food. Plenty of seats available which will indeed fill up, especially during the peak of lunch and dinner -- plan accordingly. So far, I'm thrilled with the choices I've picked from the menu, the Cheeseburger Deluxe, Chicken Gyro in the Pita, and Gyro in the Pita (regular). Everything in those orders was delicious, as well as messy. I'm curious to see what other foods they have to offer since I don't dine frequently. The owner, George, every time we come, will check-in and ask if we need anything, which goes a long way. Rarely, it's seen in other restaurants. Leaving Athena Gyro, just be careful when pulling out, especially during school, rush hour time, weekends, and holidays. ”

“ Being from Tarpon Springs (the Greek capital of the USA), I first lived in Astoria for their Greek food and had to find the best Greek locale when I moved to Dutchess. Everyone pointed me to Athena. Honestly, I had low expectations because other Greek restaurants in the Westchester/Dutchess area had failed me... but Athena really is the real deal. Everything I eat here reminds me of home. The dolmades and keftedes are perfect. I love their Greek salads (dressing has its own unique flavor that I love - I think raspberry?). I'm also a sucker for their Greek potatoes, the feta dip, and what Greek meal is complete without rice pudding?! Definitely a top spot for me in the area. ”

“ Awesome food and quick service! We come here all the time because it's so quick and convenient. You can order online and the order is always ready within 10 minutes so perfect for us during the week when we are getting takeout. We love their Greek salad, lamb and chicken gyros, fries, hummus, etc All has been delicious and there are huge portions! We'll order some extra gyro meat and pitas and be able to get 2-3 meals ”

“ I stopped here on my way home from a yoga class and I was really hungry. When I ordered my food I had no idea how generous the portions were and kind of, might have ordered a little bit "too" much food. However, I was certainly not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious! Some of the best Greek food I've had in all of Connecticut! I ordered the gyro in a pita, hummus, and Greek fries. I found everything to not only be tasty but also exceed my expectations. The price is fair, and the service is excellent. The restaurant itself provides a cozy and clean atmosphere. I would not only come again, I can even see myself driving a bit of distance to come here just to satisfy any Greek food cravings I might have. ”

“ Greek cuisine is well represented in Freedom Plains NY thanks to Athena gyro. From gyros, moussaka, pastisio, spanakopita, and baklava...it's all there. Everything is Scratch made with love. Love is always the secret ingredient! The food itself is high quality and plentiful. As good as the food is, the service is even better. It feels like every staff member in the restaurant truly cares about your experience. Few places give you the warm feeling of a loving kitchen like a family run Greek restaurant. Athena is the Greek family I never knew I had. ”
