Athenian Restaurant

Athenian Restaurant in North Fort Myers has earned its reputation as a beloved family-owned diner where generous portions and incredible value reign supreme. Regulars rave about the authentic Greek specialties, particularly the lamb shanks, Greek sampler platters, and baklava, while breakfast enthusiasts celebrate the perfectly cooked omelets and skillets. The friendly, attentive service creates a welcoming atmosphere, though some note the decor could use updating and gyro meat occasionally disappoints those expecting traditional spit-roasted preparation. Most agree the minor flaws are easily overlooked given the outstanding value—most entrees include soup, salad, bread, and dessert. This North Fort Myers institution delivers comforting, home-cooked meals that keep families coming back for decades.
