The food here is excellent! The Gyro fries (with the french fries supplied by Frites Street) were the highlight today! If you're lucky you'll get Josh as your server and the patio is great this time of year!

Best Greek food I’ve ever had. 10/10. Hands down amazing. everything was so fresh and the staff were amazing.

Food is really good!! That was very good and authentic. I love their outdoor patio! Dog friendly! The only couple of things that were a problem. One, I got the chicken souvlaki which was really good except one of my pieces of chicken was a little bit raw so I couldn’t eat it. It definitely was probably a little bit bigger of a piece and didn’t cook thoroughly because the other pieces were with perfectly and juicy. Don’t go here if you’re in a rush. We went there when it wasn’t even busy and we were there for 2 1/2 hours….. Service is very very, very slow…..

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Athens on Easy Street last night. We chose to sit on the patio, and despite the cool temperature, the heaters kept the space very comfortable. Our server, Jen, was friendly, attentive, and prompt—our drinks arrived right away. The food was excellent and, in fact, exceeded our expectations. This is a well-run, family-owned restaurant, and we will certainly be returning.

So glad we found this Greek restaurant! The flavors are authentic and so many varieties. Service was excellent. Food portions are huge and the waiter gave us the heads up. Very thoughtful!

A Taste of Greece… Right on Easy Street! What a gem in Carefree! Athens on Easy Street lives up to its name — it's the easy route straight to delicious Greek flavors. As frequent visitors to Greece and lovers of Greek cuisine across Europe, we were genuinely impressed. The patio dining was lovely, and the food? Absolutely spot on. The Greek salad was a full meal on its own — fresh vegetables, real feta, and gyros done just right. The staff is friendly, the prices are more than fair, and while the interior could feel a touch more authentic, it’s the food that truly matters — and that was a 10 out of 10. If you're looking to taste a slice of Greece in Arizona, make sure to stop here. You'll leave full, happy, and maybe dreaming of the Aegean.
