Athenian Gardens in Beaufort

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Beaufort. Always delicious, always fresh!!! Love Mommas cooking!!!

Very good food .Home atmosphere. Stephen and his mother Maria made this a special visit. Enjoyable! From Sebring Florida.

Wonderful atmosphere and great food! I love the home style cooking

This restaurant is a diamond in the rough. If you want real Greek food and service 2nd to none - it's all here. Mother and son run the restaurant and the mother cooks. This is like going to a cozy home. Non pretentious, I would day "foodies" would be all over this place if they like Greek food. Storefront look from the outside. Not over the top in decor, but immaculate and you come here to eat!Great prices too.The only thing I would like changed is a larger hummus appetizer. The one being served is fabulous in taste, but is teeny in size.

Authentic Greek food, mom and son operation, we have loved it for years, and the baklava is to die for! Check hours for opening, mostly lunch-only during week, @$10/per person.

Family run and proud Greek mother in the kitchen. It doesn't get better than this place.

The mother and the son who run the place are so great her food is authentic Greek food right from Grease thank you guys again for such a time.

First time here it was absolutely amazing. I will def be back

Absolutely LOVE this gem. Fabulous food, and they treat you like family. You will never get a bad meal here! Interesting note for a coastal town: don't ask for anchovies on your Greek salad becuase so few Low Country folks eat them that they no longer serve them. If you can, save room for dessert -- the baclava is outstanding.,

Amazing experience. got there just after the lunch rush and had the whole place to ourselves. Thank you Stephen for a great time

They are never open, 11-3 is prohibitive to those of us who have jobs.

What a nice find. Authentic, home made Greek food.... Mama in back cooks it all fresh. They made our first experience here exceed expectations. We will return when in the area. Thanks for the great food

Owner is so sweet and her son is just a peach. The food is out of this world

This restaurant was a really good choice. A familly business runed by authentic greek people serving authentic greek food, amazing food and excellent service! Decent prices, it was a really good experience! And the baklava was the best I’ve ever tasted in my life! Would definitely recommend!

I had a Gyro and it was delicious. The pita bread was fresh and tasty. A very nice man was our server and his mom is the cook. The gyro meat was so good, I order meat Togo. Definitely recommend giving it a try for lunch since their hours are 10:30-2:30. Their hours are different since it's only him and his mom, but they do serve dinner of Friday Nights.

Great food great service. As soon as you walk in the door you get great friendly greetings from the owner who tells you the specials they have that day freshly made by his mother. Since I moved to South Carolina I've been looking to find my favorite Gyro Spot , I'm getting warmer

Amazing customer service, great food

Stopped at this place a few times a few years ago. The food is amazing! Love the interaction between the mother (chef) and son (server). We were also provided with free baklava on more than one occasion! If you visit or live in this area, you must check this place out!

Always good, Mama's specials make it hard to decide what you want to eat.

This is one of the best restaurants in the area. The portions are huge and very well priced. From the minute you walk in you are made to feel at home. Try the Gyros with amazing tzatziki sauce and Baklava!

As usual, the food (eggplant parmesan) was excellent. Stefan and his mom are so sweet and wonderful. A nice little local pearl in the Beaufort sea of restaurants.

First time eating there today & it was amazing! The waiter is awesome, friendly, and makes you feel right at home. They were busy, but the wait time on food was not bad and we had awesome service. Gyros were hands down best I have ever had. The tzatziki sauce was so good I could have eaten by itself! Also, the fried fish was amazing!!!

Service was slow but owner was very apologetic and gave us free dessert. I had the Moussaka which was ok but I would have preferred a stronger flavor. Greek salad was very good.

The best food and service absolutely love the atmosphere the people and the food is delicious!

This place has become my new FAVORITE! They are very friendly and welcoming and the food is amazing! The vegetables in my gyro tasted so fresh! The lettuce was so crisp and the beef was so moist! Definitely will come again! :)

Love love love going here! Everyone from the server to the cooks are incredibly nice. The gyro is super yummy!! 😋😋

Great authentic Greek food at very reasonable prices. Family owned and operated with daily specials all prepared on site. Seating is limited and so is parking but its well worth the wait.

Family owned & operated. Mama cooks & Stephanos runs the front. Great lunch option. They are open for lunch only, Monday-Saturday.

Great personal service. Excellent cuisine tailored to any dietary style.

Go there. Just go there. It's honest, fantastic food. If you don't like it, I'll pay for it.

Mama's specials are up on the board, but if you're too late and they're gone the regular menu items are great.

First time trying this place, and I will definitely be back. Customer service was exemplary. The food was good, and arrived fairly quickly with large portions.

Very busy around 12:30 lunch time, but they handle it all like a breeze. The moussaka was perfection, and the baklava was amazing. Definitely a place to keep on my go to list.

Authentic Greek cuisine! The food is incredible (thank you, Mama) and Stephano is personable and eager to please! A family run restaurant that will not disappoint!

I've been here multiple times, and I've never been disappointed. The food is great, the service is quick, and the staff is friendly. I don't have any complaints.

Awesome..being going for over a decade now..love it! Especially the eggplant parmesan! Love Stafan's mom!! Happy birthday mom!

The food was tasty and plenty. Service was warm. New Year's Eve lunch was great!

Great food and service!

Home cooking, delicious food friendly service,fair prices.

This place is a hidden gem. My family & I have loved everything we have eaten there. I highly recommend the eggplant Parmesan. The pitas are excellent. All the veggies they use are fresh. I love the desserts too. Excellent food & excellent service!!!

The best food in Beaufort South Carolina

If I could give 6/5 stars, I would! This restaurant is to-die-for fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is also incredibly fun and relaxed. "Mama" is in the kitchen making the best from-scratch Greek food. I love the gyro, the gyro platter, and the eggplant parmesan. Since it's a small family-run restaurant, it is not open all the time, and that's the only negative. But when it is open, it's always a treat!

Service excellent. Food cooked by owner's mother and is delicious!

Stefan is an absolute DELIGHT!! He made the experience feel like we're family. He truly made me want to come back for that amazingly warm friendliness! Not to mention, phenomenal food!!

Food and service was phenomenal! Definitely going to be a new lunch spot! The owners are so friendly and treat everyone as family.

Ok ..I loved it. It was a nice break from the typical restaurants and fare in the local area. It was homey and intriguing to sit in this little space and listen to the banter of the server (son) and chef (mom). The food was very good and the wine was $6 for a FULL GLASS! you can see where my interests are. I really enjoyed my lunch visit...it reminded me of a little quaint restaurant in Manhattan or Long Island. Don't go in a rush! Mom is cooking just for you!

Love this place. Food is outstanding .

Amazing homemade traditional greek food cooked by mama every day!

Almost hidden from view, this authentic Greek eatery offers delicious food and a family atmosphere. I had the gyro, perfectly seasoned meat with tasty fresh tzatziki sauce, and a Greek salad with crisp lettuce, beautiful red tomatoes, kalamata olives, onions, and a light house dressing. Worth my hour's drive and I will be back!

Food is amazing, service is out of this world. The server is very friendly and is eager to talk about the food and just general topics. Everything here is good. Very small though, so get in early.
