Athens Cafe and Grill

First of all, my dad is a big Unilocal user. The place not only needs to have a high number of stars, but also from several people. I mentioned this place while we were looking for a spot, and he stated that it did not have enough users rating the place. He even joked ‘I bet they are all Greek, and part of the family that owns the place.’ I pointed out that one review was an Elite Unilocal member so my dad gave the place a shot.
My whole family was so happy that he did. We had amazing food — as my mom stated ‘some of the best chicken she has had in her life as well as best in Florida.’ The service was great and the amount of food was more than adequate for the price.
We couldn’t finish our food, so we had the leftovers for dinner and even discussed for the rest of the day how we couldn’t wait until dinner to eat some of the food again. I am sure if we hadn’t found this place on one of the last days of our short trip to the Keys, we would have eaten several meals here.
It was a little hard to find, only due to the restaurant next door seeming like it owned the whole section of stores. We passed it twice, before I called and had to be guided to the spot. Silly, I know, given this is Marathon and it appears most places would be easy to find when on the main drag.
If this place doesn’t work out in Marathon (which would be a shame), it should be moved to a bigger city as it could easily beat out all the Greek places in Denver, Colorado Springs (both in Colorado) and Naples, Florida where I have ‘lived.’

No frills place. But do not be fooled by the strip mall location; they are authentic and make good food. Highly recommend the Chicken Pineapple salad.

Delicious. I had the Mahi burrito special and it was one of the best meals I had on the keys. The place is chill and more of a fast food style where you order at a counter and they bring it to your table. Prices were moderate.

I have never been disappointed eating here. Have lunch here once a week. Friendly and courteous staff.

Excellent food! Soups are fresh and homemade. Food is great with a Mediterranean mostly menu. I highly recommend!
