Athens Greek Restaurant

Tasty eats by Sherrilyn W. at InsiderPages

This unassuming hole-in-the-wall eatery in downtown Mansfield has been around for years, and for good reason. It serves tasty, filling food at very reasonable prices. My favorite is the gyro platter--a pita loaded with meat, veggies, and sauce--and served with a heaping helping of delicious fries. The spanakopita was a bit odd. It was more like a thin empanada than the lovely spinach pie that I was expecting. Nevertheless, the Athens is a good value for the money if you find yourself downtown and hungry.

Great Greek

by foodqfood at Citysearch

The Athens is a holdover from a time when the Square still meant something. Personally, I love the atmosphere. It's a local gem. Sure, it's not bright and shiny like a giant chain, but it makes up for that in being a truly unique experience. The food is great; and there's something for everyone. Picky eater? Well, they still serve hamburgers and fries. Vegetarian? Not a problem. Scared of lamb? Try a chicken gyro. I've been to Greece. This is as good as anything you'll find in Athens.

• Pros: Local Flavor, Authentic Greek Cuisine
• Cons: Limited/Inconvenient Parking
