About the restaurant

Since the 1960`s, the Triantafillopoulos family, at its restaurants in Athena, Greece and Jacksonville, Florida have worked with top quality materials showing respect for the food itself and the customer.

As of December 2017, their son Yiorgos and his wife Marilena would like to welcome you to a brand new restaurant in the heart of the city, The Athenian Owl.

Reflecting the heritage and the authenticity of Yia-Yia`s (our mother and originator of the first two restaurants) recipes, we add to her wonderful food our passion of representing Greek healthy cuisine at its best.

Dining at The Athenian Owl is a fantastic experience. The food is delicious and freshly made with good portions for each dish. The service is always good and relatively quick, the ambiance and decor are nice and the owners are very friendly and welcoming.

If you have shellfish allergies, ask for their special menu listing items safe to order. It is not intuitive on the main menu since sauces can frequently use oyster sauce and cooking methods can introduce cross contamination. The special menu is a nice innovation.

Was nice to sit outside on a very hot evening. Portions were huge for a dinner salad and a 3 .leather entree. Service was fine. I recommend if you want tasty BBQ in a casual setting. With lots of hot and spicy choices for ribs and other meats.

About the restaurant

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

About the restaurant

Joe’s Crab Shack offers a variety of favorites from all parts of the sea and shore. From its extensive menu, guests can choose from buckets of seasonal seafood, fried shrimp platters and fish dishes, as well as options from the “mainland” that include steak, sandwiches, and chicken. Guests can indulge in over-sized and creative cocktails, such as the Shark Bite which is playfully garnished with a shark toy. Since its inception, Joe’s popularity has stemmed not only from its menu, but also its retail store. With various pieces of merchandise for purchase, including the ever-popular tie-dye T-shirt with the phrase “Peace, Love and Crabs,” Joe’s has become synonymous with the word “fun.”

It was our 34th wedding anniversary. We had such a great time and experience. The food was delicious! And our waiter was the greatest. So personable! Can’t remember his name but he was 28. He had the cutest smile and dimples and had the best personality. He had the staff singing happy anniversary and brought us a huge piece of chocolate cake on the house. The crab legs are the best! We will be back! Thanks for a great time!! Pam and John
