Parthenon Restaurant

I have ordered take out from here several times and I get so hungry on the drive home from the delicious smell. My favorite dish is spaghetti and meatballs. The dishes are flavorful and simple. The owners are very sweet and it seems like a really nice family-run restaurant.

While the place can seem a bit outdated at first, I ended up liking the restaurant quite a lot once there were some parties seated with us. The owner was extremely friendly along with the cook. I believe they are a wife & husband duo or something similar. Very friendly and made us feel very comfortable!

I was expecting a very nice low-key spot when I arrived at this restaurant, so I will admit my expectations for food were somewhat high. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. We had the meat calzone along with the meat-stuffed canneloni. The meat calzone was very impressive in appearance; super large and looked nice and toasted on the outside. The bread was great. The inside though was pretty standard though; fixings of ham, pepperoni, cheese, and some tomato sauce. It was good, but it lacked a little bit of oomph. We tried it with the marinara sauce on the side. It was tomatoey but lacked a bit of brightness. It also muddled the flavors of the calzone so I ended up liking it more without. It was slightly on the salty side too and I had to drink a lot of water after eating. About a 6/10.

The canneloni was alright as well. I liked the gyro meat inside which was different but I feel like there could have been more herbs and spices to season the whole dish. It was still good though, maybe slightly better than the canneloni. I did hear them microwave the dish in the back though, which made my heart sank for a bit. It turned out to be an alright dish though but again I wasn't amazed. I felt like the dish again lacked oomph. There was a lot of cheese, tomato, and savory flavors which gave the dish a sort of lasagna-type flavor profile. About a 6/10 as well.

The salad was simple and basic. Good. Could've used a bit of oil but it was simple and had good flavor profiles with oregano or the other herbs that they used.

I really wanted to like this restaurant. It seems like it has been around for a while and the owners are so nice and sweet. The food though in my opinion was just okay. Prices are somewhat reasonable, little more on the expensive side but expected.

Authentic Greek food made by people from Greece. We have been here many times and have never been disappointed. We tried their pizza recently for the first time and it is AMAZING, just like the rest of the menu!

Excellent Greek Mediterranean Food. Family owned restaurant. Interior has not been updated or received maintenance since it opened 40+ years ago. Back area of restaurant is a mess. Didn't discover we were overcharged from $50 to $80 until after we left.
