Best WLM Reviews
Can’t wait to come back! The food is unbelievable. We got the shrimp appetizer, kabobs, gyro, fries. Even on a weeknight, this place was busy but tables flipped quickly. Nice big outdoor seating area too. The service was good. Highly recommend!
Leaves much to be desired. Exactly 4 olives in a lackluster, soggy salad. Uncooked, putrid “fries” and chicken that was somehow burnt and undercooked simultaneously. Our favorite was the hair in the vinaigrette. Terrible and disgusting is an understatement.
What an amazing and genuine restaurant. My server was super friendly and recommended the salad with gyro and pita w/tzatziti for lunch or a lighter meal and the charburger for a dinner (I STILL NEED TO COME BACK FOR THE BURGER NEXT TIME LIKE I PROMISED). I had the salad and it was incredible. I’d say it was a perfect meal and it all tasted awesome. The feta was the best feta cheese I think I’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the neighborhood or visiting the city, you should try and come it would be worth your time. And the baklava was so good too! Thank you!
We had the shrimp starter and it was lightly breaded and nicely fried. I had the Kalamata Chicken and it was pretty good, the sauce had a bit of a sour taste to it and even though the fries were soaked in it, they were still crispy. Some parts of the chicken were a little dry though.
We've gotten takeout multiple times since my kids love it, but it is so inconsistent. Some days it's really delicious and fresh, and other days it's clear we got someone's hours old order that never got picked up. Dry, crusty gyro. Dry, crusty greek fries. Luckily my kids don't notice the difference, but I do. It's happened enough times now that I decided it's time to write.
delicious chicken and gyros. love the fries and tzatziki. feta is amazing. yummy pita. they are CASH ONLY
If we were regulars, this is a place where everyone would know your name! It's family owned and the owner and son are there greeting guests! There is an adjoining bar where you can order drinks. You cannot go wrong with their charred burgers and chicken! The Greek fries are so mouthwatering and lemony! It's a great place for families as well. They even gave us free baklava for dessert! Whenever we are in the area, we make sure to stop in and bring our friends as well!
The Athenian Room is a Lincoln Park landmark that has been in busy over 50 years. They serve up classic Greek dishes in a class Greek restaurant ambiance. We had the gyros dinner and vegetarian salad. Both were delicious and hit the spot. Important reminder—The Athenian Room is CASH ONLY!*
*There is an ATM next door in Glascott’s.
