    Yelp reviews did it again! The ratings were tops, we just had to try it. Because of my Gluten allergies i noticed they didn't really have anything i could eat that was Greek on their menu, so i went with what i knew i could eat. I had a hamburger with fried egg on top, minus bun. My burger was savory and my Fries were cooked perfectly. My Alex had the gyro, said it was probably one of the best he has ever had. The next time we are passing threw Superior, we will stop here for lunch

    First time dining here last night, and it did not disappoint. Authentic Greek food for a great price. My husband and I had the flaming cheese to start, and then split their gyro dinner platter, even with sharing it we brought home enough for a third meal. Unlike most restaurants who bring out your split plate on one platter and then give you an empty plate for you to split everything, they brought us out each a portion of the salad and a portion of the gyro platter. All of their staff came by to check on us throughout the night as well as one of the owners. We were welcomed like old friends and repeat customers. We will definitely be back!

    You will not believe that you are in Florence Arizona when you eat here. Easily the jewel of the entire town (for MANY miles around), there is not a single thing to dislike about Mount Athos. Pete is the epitome of class and customer service and truly cares about his patrons, tending to every detail with the utmost sincerity. The food is amazing. I always have the chicken Alfredo which is the best I've had since I was last in Italy. My wife changes it up from time to time but normally gets the liver and onions which is cooked perfectly every single time (not an easy task). I absolutely cannot recommend this place any more highly and encourage anyone to make whatever drive you have to make to enjoy Mount Athos. Tell them Kevin at My Arizona Butler sent you and maybe Pete will toast you with a shot of Ouzo...a classic way to end a great meal. ENJOY!!

    The Spicy Gyro is a fantastic sandwich! This is one of my favorite places to eat in Florence, I have never been disappointed in the main dishes. Service is quick and the staff is always friendly. The price is fair and the portions leave you full and satisfied.

    Very clean with super friendly service. This is a nice family owned restaurant that got their start in Manhattan NY. Newspaper on the wall says they got tired of the big city rat race and decided to relocate to Florence. We drive by this place every time we go to the Tucson area and finally decided to stop in for some lunch. There is not a big selection of restaurants around here so we were a bit skeptical. Inside is very comfortable and set up like a deluxe dinner or cafe. They even have a full service bar for those who need to wet your whistle. The menu here is large and has a little bit of all the standards with a good selection of Greek dishes. Started off with some Falafel to get things going and then ordered some Gyros to finish things off. Both Gyros were very good and the meat was very tender and tasty. The Spicy Gyro was my favorite and came with Frank's Hot Sauce, Grilled Onions, Peppers, and melted Mozzarella. Definitely a great option when you are hungry and trying to avoid the local fast food chains. The best part may have been the unlimited non stop coffee that the wife could not stop talking about. She was driving and needed a good wake up call. Nice job guys. See ya next time. OPA! 4 STARS

    Had lunch here recently. The chicken gyro was overflowing with chicken, served with coleslaw that looked good (but wasn't). Friendly and efficient service. Took a custard filled phyllo dough Greek pastry (can't remember the name) to go home. Yummm- that tasty treat made the whole experience worth the visit.

    I had their Penne a la Vodka with Gyro and it was amazing! It had so much flavor. This place quite a surprise find. Amanda was super nice and took good care of us.

    Two words, store bought. The salad dressing, frozen fries, and tzaziki sauce at least. The gyro meat was good, it was too bad that it was drowned out by the subpar tzaziki. There is possibility here, and the right dish might be fine. But really...who doesn't make even a simple vinaigrette??!! It takes 2 seconds and it has to be much cheaper than buying the store bought crap.

    Came here with my mother-in-law. We had breakfast and let me tell you.... Those were some of the best eggs I've had since my mom was alive. We both like our dishes. The waiter was very attentive. The restaurant was beautiful inside just as much as it was outside. I really look forward to coming in for dinner.

    I'm from NY and we were told about this place by another person from NY. Well let me tell you......It brought me home to NY!! For once in AZ a place where you can get breakfast or veal marsala!! The owner and wait staff were excellent!! The owner offered us a shot and we we said no he sent us over desert on him!! I would highly recommend this place and drive back to Florence over and over to eat their. PS- The price for the amount of food you get is incredible!!! If you had 10 stars I would give it to them!

    This place really made my family's day! Excellent service, excellent food, extremely friendly staff and big portions. It's very rare to find a restaurant that hits all of these nails on the head but this one sure does. I'm bummed that I was just passing through on a visit because if I lived in the area I would definitely be a regular at this joint. BONUS: I've never had a waitstaff be so kind to my 1 1/2 year old. I usually get eye rolls for bringing a toddler with me... Not here. Which in turn actually made my toddler happier and more well behaved. Who knew? Also my boyfriend who has a plethora of food allergies was taken very good care of.

  • Bea M.

    Without a doubt, the best meal we've had in a very long time. Great Greek food with huge portions and delicious seasoning. The prices were reasonable for such good food. The waitress was wonderful, even bringing us samples of the lamb to taste before we ordered Gyros. Then, after our meal, she brought us samples of hot rich pudding. We were with another couple and really enjoyed our experience. We'll be back!

    I thought about sending a Thank You card but then I thought HEY a Yelp review would be better!! Hopefully getting them more business :-) We were staying at the Holiday Inn for a wedding with family and they had happened to be catering a Rotary dinner that evening- we started chatting with the chef he asked why we were in town and told him- so he said let me cook for you. Best decision ever!!!! They totally set us up on the back patio with tablecloths and everything!!! Oh My Heck! The food so delicious and beautifully plated- we weren't in Florence, AZ anymore friends!! I hope they know how SPECIAL they made us feel!! Thank You! Thank You! You were the icing on the cake of our wonderful weekend! I wish I knew how to share our facebook pictures of the beautiful food or convey how wonderful this was. If you ever go to Florence and LOVE Greek you will LOVE!! We did not go to the restaurant but were BLESSED by having them cook for us at the hotel! You will not be disappointed by the hospitality or the food! ENJOY!

    My girlfriend works in Florence and I had the day off so I went out there and met her for lunch. She suggested this place. Said it was one of the best places in Florence. She was right. As usual. Once we arrived we were seated immediately and our server was very nice. It is a very nice restaurant. I like the décor. A little mom and pop-y but nice. I went to a Greek place so of course I have to order the gyro. My girlfriend who was going to get a salad decided instead on the spicy gyro. Our food came out pretty quick. I ordered the deluxe which comes with fries and a salad. It was a lot of food but so good. Even the fries were really good. The meat was tender and the tziki sauce had a great taste to it. It all worked together just like it is supposed to. We both enjoyed our meal very much. I was surprised that a place like this existed in Florence. It was good food anywhere else but since it was in Florence it was amazing. I will definitely be back any chance I get to have another lunch with my girlfriend. This is a nice hidden gem right in the middle of Florence.

    The staff were very knowledgeable of the menu and helpful with suggestions for us first timers. They brought out a sample of their gyro meat which was very flavorful. We would definitely go back again next time we are in Florence.

    One star for this food, it was cooked Four of us came from Mesa after, reading the article in the AAA magazine. The food was not very good. Gyro was OK did not eat it all, the lamb plate tasted like mutton. The spinach wrap was tasteless. The pork gyro was left half eaten on the plate. I did take the uneaten mutton home with me. Sliced it thin, Garlic, onions, Rosemary and marinated it in red wine for 6 hours. Sauteed some carrots and tomatoes, after they were done put the meat in the veggies warmed it very slowly. The taste of an old sheep was gone. Dolmas were tasted as though they came from a supply house catering to restaurants. The salad dressing was a commercial from a jar, thick and flavorless, the salad was gross. I will drive by but never go in, I am accustomed to eating in great eateries from San Francisco. Servers were great!

    I can't say enough good things about Mount Athos. I love Greek food and have tried several places around the valley but this place is by far the best! My husband and I come here regularly during hunting season since we hunt just outside of Florence or when we need a date night out. The restaurant is beautiful, their spicy gyro and margaritas are to die for and the staff and owner are so friendly. We were just there last night for Valentine's Day and they made our night very special. You won't get better food or service anywhere, if you're in Florence this is the place to go.

  • Jessica J.

    I stop in here occasionally when I'm home and am never disappointed. I love greek food and they have the best hummus I've ever had. They offer a nice varietal of items on their menu which is good depending on your mood. There is also a nice little bar to sit at and it has a cozy atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and I think he has been present each time I have been there. Service is always impeccable and they seem to always have the same servers who do their job very well. A pleasant stop and always consistent.

    Not a big fan. Granted, there isn't much competition in Florence, but this place really failed to offer much worthy of going out to eat. Do check out the Greek Monastery nearby Florence though - very, very cool.

    I work in Florence so I know the selection around here is slim. However, this restaurant doesn't skimp on flavor, portions, or service like other local establishments. Prices are on par with other restaurants like this, although I do wish there were some lunch specials. Service was fast and friendly which is great when you are trying to have a quick lunch. I had the Gyro with fries and it was excellent. Plenty of meat which was very tender and great tasting tziki sauce. My boss had the chicken caesar which she really liked. They kept our drinks full and the place is cheerful and clean! This is now my favorite place in Florence!

    Peter and his crew do a fantastic job and I am never disappointed. They offer the the best hummus I have ever tasted! I have been eating at Mt. Athos on a weekly basis for the past year and the food and customer service is always top notch!

    The place to eat in Florence. Exceptionally friendly service with a solid menu of Greek food and an assortment of daily specials. I enjoyed gyro, Greek salad and shawarma over three lunches while in town for work. All very good. I would definitely go back.

    I give them a 5 for service and attentiveness but the food was just ok. My grandma didn't like the meat loaf and my grandma didn't like her salad. My turkey sandwich was OK but dry. Not a big fan. Great service tho

    This restaurant had great service. It was full of demanding older couples. The food was ok. It needed some tang instead of creaminess. The gyro I had was ok though.

  • Joe M.

    Im originally from New York and I've had my share of Greek food from a variety of restaurants and gyro shops. This place is just as good if not better than the Greek food in NY. They have a buy one get one free beer offer everyday where you can even share your free drink with your friend. From their salads to their gyros, this is genuine greek restaurants that is own and operated by Greek people. Just try it and I promise you that as you drive away you'll be planning on the next time you'll be coming back. The staff is super nice by the way.

  • Tammy S.

    The best Gyros you will ever eat. I have tried to find a gyro that compares and still have yet to find one! Breakfast here is even awesome! They freshly squeeze your orange juice for crying out loud!!!! I would go here waaaaaay more if I could afford it!

    What a shock...Stopped here on the way back from Tucson based on YELP reviews. Little place off the main drag. People were friendly and welcoming. Food was great-Friend and I got the spicy greek gyro- gyro meat with Frank's Hot sauce- Delicious!! My wife got a Greek Salad and loved it and friend's wife got a gyro and loved it as well. Again, pleasantly surprised to find delicious, authentic Greek food across from the prison. Worth a stop! I will definitely stop again next time I am headed to or from Tucson.

    I love this place. I can always call ahead and get my food right on time for pick up, and when we dine in, we are seated in seconds. The people and family who work there are great too. They're always there with a friendly atmosphere and great conversation, just like family! And it also helps that their food is amazing!

  • Ed M.

    Easily the best restaurant in the Town of Florence. I always get the Gyro plate when I come here. The Gyros are some of the best in AZ and the Greek Salad is always fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly - If getting drinks, try the Ouzo it is strong and definitely a little different. This place is okay in my book.

    The food is OK, nothing out of the ordinary --except for the gyros ;) however, I am very unhappy with the host, who in the few times that I was in the place and after picking up my order, he asked "Isn't that a lot of food for one girl?" RUDE! What a jerk...

    This place is probably the nicest restaurant in Florence. It is super clean, well decorated, with a very attentive staff. The food is just meh. The prices are also pretty pricey considering the other restaurants in Florence. They have Italian dishes, Greek dishes, and now Arabic influenced dishes (Falafel sandwiches). They have a bar (both coffee and alcohol). If you're in Florence and want something with a little ambiance, go here. However, be prepared for underwhelming and unimaginative Mediterranean food.

    I have to give them 5 stars just for the incredible service we received! Wow, bravo. And the food was great as well! Deserts are five star, too. I highly recommend this restaurant, for sure! Take your family, they will love you for it!

    This place has good food and the price is right so definitely check it out. My only real con about this place is their hours of operation. I've come to the restaurant several times only to find it closed for some reason or other posted on their door.

  • Kevin L.

    Pete and his staff are amazing. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is fast and friendly. The alfredo sauce is even better than the 'real deal' I had in Italy and the portions are great as well. We have literally found nothing bad on the menu. Pete is doing his father proud by carrying on the best secret in Arizona.

    a family friend took me here to eat & WOW ! i'm from NYC but moved here & missed having Greek food, so to find a place here in Florence,AZ that makes Greek food as good in NYC is very hard, but this place topped it !!! Pete, the owner, is gracious, humble & friendly & i gotta say, for an owner who cares about his food as he cares about his customers makes this an excellent place to go eat, period !!! i'm planning on making a return trip there, it's that good !! so anyone who is in the area, go there, you will not be disappointed !!

    We started with the flaming cheese, OMG! Fresh salty cheese set on fire and then doused with fresh lemon juice. My husband and I both had the gyros, which used real gyro meat, not the frozen spam-like stuff other Greek places use and then we had a (I'm not even going to try and pronounce it but it sounded like galactic-booty-call) phylo dough with some kind of custard inside. This food is as good as it gets. And it's in Florence!! I never expected food this good here. They have a huge Greek menu and Italian too. Everything that came out looked fantastic and fresh. The owner's son was personable, our waitress encouraged us to sit and enjoy. This place was full on a Monday night. I will come to Florence just to eat here. They used to be in Manhattan and moved to Az. Lucky Az.!!!

    After trying Mount Athos for the first time a month ago on a road trip north, we deliberately timed our next trip so we could have lunch there again. Still friendly and delicious. It will be a regular stop for us. Great food and service.

  • Mary L.

    My husband and I went here recently for dinner on a Saturday - we had heard from friends it was the best Greek on the east end of the valley. We both ordered the Greek plate dinner with lamb/beef gyro meat - rice, salad and pita. It was nothing short of superb - the meat unlike any other usual Greek fare - tender and real meat. Everything was good and there were generous portions. Our service was excellent and the atmosphere is good. It is worth the hour drive from our house in Mesa.

    Mount Athos has good food and the nicest service you'll ever find. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and specialize in Greek, Italian, and American foods. The restaurant is always busy. I've had their tuna salad, egg salad, egg and cheese sandwich, Greek salad, and veggie burger. All were tasty. I didn't realize until now that I haven't tried their Greek or Italian foods (other than one salad), both of which I love, but others dining with me have eaten non-American food at Mount Athos and commented favorably. Kudos for having both a veggie burger AND a Boca burger on the menu, Mount Athos! (Because those two are NOT the same thing. And someone at Mount Athos realizes that.) It's a solid option.

Greek Cuisine

Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.

Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.

For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.
