🏆 Athena Roasted Chicken Voted One of Orlando’s Best Greek Restaurants 🏆

We’ve got some big news to share: thanks to YOU, our incredible community, Athena Roasted Chicken has been named one of Orlando Weekly’s “Best of Orlando 2025” winners! 🎉 We placed #3 in Best Greek Restaurant, and we couldn’t be more honored.

For 36 years, our family has been roasting up fresh, never frozen, hormone-free chicken, seasoned with traditional Greek spices, cooked slowly, and always served with love. From our hearty Greek salads to scratch-made sides and desserts, everything we do starts with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It’s simple food, made right, at a price that families can feel good about.

But the truth is, this recognition isn’t just about the food. It’s about the community that has supported us since we first opened our doors back in 1988. Generations of families from Maitland, Winter Park, Longwood, Lake Mary, and beyond have shared meals with us, celebrated milestones with us, and become part of the Athena family. That connection means the world to us.

Being included in Best of Orlando is a reminder of why we do what we do: to bring people together around the table. We’re proud to be a locally owned restaurant that puts quality, service, and value first. And we’re even prouder to be part of this amazing Central Florida community that continues to cheer us on.

So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! Thank you for voting, for dining with us, for spreading the word, and for letting us be part of your lives for more than three decades. Here’s to many more years of great food, family, and community.

A Fresh Start with Healthy Greek Eating

The new year is the perfect time to focus on health and balance. At Athena Roasted Chicken, we believe that good food should not only taste amazing but also be good for you. That is why so many of our dishes naturally follow the principles of the Mediterranean Diet, a way of eating celebrated around the world for its health benefits and flavor.

Greek cooking has always been rooted in fresh vegetables, olive oil, lean proteins, herbs, and whole grains. These simple ingredients come together to create meals that feel hearty yet light. From our crisp salads to savory roasted chicken, it is food that gives energy and makes you feel good long after the meal is over.

Healthy eating does not have to feel restrictive. The Mediterranean approach is about enjoying a variety of foods, sharing meals with family and friends, and finding joy in what you eat. Whether you are looking for more vegetables on your plate, lighter options for lunch, or meals that the whole family can enjoy together, we are here to make healthy choices easy and delicious.

For years we have been part of the Maitland community, serving meals that bring people together. As we look ahead, we invite you to start fresh with us and celebrate the good-for-you flavors of Greek food. Because healthy eating should always taste this good.

Giving Back to Our Community 💙

At Athena Roasted Chicken, giving back is part of who we are. For years our family has been proud to serve Maitland and the surrounding areas with fresh, never frozen, hormone-free food. Just as you have supported us since 1988, we believe it is our responsibility to support the community that makes us who we are.

Throughout the year we look for ways to share kindness, whether it is donating meals, supporting local causes, or simply showing up for our neighbors. During the holidays we had the privilege of collaborating with Traveling Food Guys (Chris Purdy) to deliver meals to both Maitland fire stations. Sharing our roasted chicken, sides, and salads with the firefighters who protect our community was a small way to say thank you. Their dedication inspires us and it felt special to give back to those who give so much every day. You can also follow Chris and his foodie adventures on Instagram here: @travelingfoodguys.

For us, food is family. And family means everyone — our loyal customers, local growers, first responders, and all who make Central Florida such a vibrant place to call home. Giving back is our way of keeping that circle of support alive and strong.

We are grateful for every chance to serve you at our tables and beyond them. Here’s to many more years of sharing meals, giving back, and celebrating this amazing community together.
