Athenian's Gyros & Chicken

Pinellas Park's Greek Original Since 1985

Athenian's Gyros & Chicken has been serving authentic Greek food on Park Boulevard since 1985. What started as a small family restaurant has grown into a Pinellas Park institution, earning a loyal following that spans generations. The quality speaks for itself. Athenian's was named Best Gyro in 1999 and Best Gyro in the Bay Area in 2000, and was even featured in the Saint Pete Times. Nearly four decades later, the recipes haven't changed, and neither has the dedication to making every plate from scratch. Whether you're a first-time visitor or one of the regulars who've been coming since the early days, you'll taste the difference that comes from decades of perfecting the craft. Stop by and see why Athenian's has stood the test of time.

How We Started

In 1985, a small family-owned Greek spot opened on Park Boulevard in Pinellas Park. It was never trying to be more than it was — just very good, and that was enough to keep the doors open for nearly 40 years.

The Gyro, Unchanged

Seasoned meat carved off the spit, fresh tzatziki, ripe tomato, red onion, wrapped in pita. Built the same way it's always been — and guests say it's the closest thing to eating in Greece without leaving Florida.

Awards We Didn't Chase

The Weekly Planet voted us "Best Gyros in the Bay" four years running. The Tampa Bay Times spotlighted us for "Good Greek in Pinellas Park." That recognition comes from making the same good food, plate after plate.

The Spirit of the Place

Counter-serve with Greek statues by the front door and booth seating inside — casual, comfortable, welcoming to everyone. Construction workers, families, and 20-year regulars all eat at the same tables.
