First trip to Tarpon Springs. Saw good reviews and decided to swing in. the menu was pretty limited but my husband and I decided on the Greek salad and one of the platters. it took a while for our server to get to us to order but they eventually made it. My husband wanted a beer and asked for "one of the Greek beers" as there weren't any descriptions or options on the menu. Our server wrote it down and went on their way. My husband then commented that they must only have one Greek beer, because he wasn't given any options; the menu didn't list any specific beers either. After our drinks arrived I noticed our server smoking a cigarette outside on the sidewalk right outside the restaurant and right next to other dining tables. This was unsettling, and I kind of didn't want them handling our food after that. However, our food arrived promptly and was very good. I was surprised to find potato salad in my Greek salad, but it worked! The gyros were delicious as well and the pita bread was great. At one point we wanted more tzatziki sauce but our server was no where to be found. After a while they finally stopped by and we were able to ask for more sauce and our check. All together it was not the best experience. The food was very good but it was the experience that will keep us away. I find it unacceptable to have employees smoking out front of the restaurant, ESPECIALLY when it is in the outdoor dinning area. I am sure there is an area behind the restaurant that they can smoke if they need to. If I would have seen then when looking for a restaurant, I would have kept on walking. read more

The best gyro EVER. We are from Indianapolis and tried this spot while on Florida vacation. My friends had the classic lamb gyro and I had the chicken gyro. I loved the chicken, but then when I tried a bite of their lamb, I was a little sad I didn't just get that. So so so good! They cover it in tzatziki sauce, feta cheese, onions and tomatoes. Nothing is skimped on. Also get their Greek fries - they had seasoning on them and crumbled feta. One order is enough to share between 3-4 people. Besides the delicious food, they have a huge selection of desserts in a case to choose from. We were all pretty stuffed from the main food but decided to split some of the desserts - and they were also great. Side note - they also serve some select beer and wine. Definitely check this place out if you are shopping in the Spongedocks. So worth it!!! read more

Our FAVORITE restaurant in Tarpon Springs! Full of friendly, interesting people and the food is fantastic. On our first visit, we met our waiter Shawn who was so personable and sweet---really chill guy who is just all about customer service. Fresh, large portions fill your plate---my date loved the gyro and got it here every single time. I enjoyed it as well. Loved the flaming sagakani (perfect for special occasions), Greek fries and finally their salad as I was so done with eating meat at the end of our trip lol (We ended up eating here at least once a day because it was do good!). It got to the point where the staff knew us adn we came with a large group which was served like family. All of our meals came out at the same time, hot and fresh. This is the place to come for food. Totally worth every penny. read more

Parthenon - Pastry bar - Greek Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

Yep, this is the diner version to the sister restaurant Hellas. It is more of a Greek-American fusion diner feel. The octopus was a generous portion for the price. It is broiled not fried or grilled making it tender and not chewy at all. With some olive oil and lemon, just pops deliciousness. The Black Grouper sandwich is a must as Broiled and it is caught fresh sources locally. And to finish off with their famous Baklava Cheesecake is just a perfect cadence to the gastronomical adventure. Ask Chris for spot on recommendations not a miss. Enjoy and Opah! read more

Parthenon - This the world famous Baklava Cheesecake. Evenly balanced as a desert not to sweet. Lovely and creamy. Well worth the $4.95. - Greek Near Me - Tarpon Springs, Florida

This is old Tarpon Springs at its best. The guy outside hawking the diners to come in for Greek food is the start. The restaurant is spacious Food is great- we ordered the saganaki-Opa Spinach pie is very good Lemon soup a little too gelatinous Gyro portion very generous and tasty Greek salad with potato salad on the bottom was dressed perfectly. Prices very reasonable. Chris our waiter kept the food coming and drinks refilled . Great service with a great attitude. We always order too much food and have not tried dessert here. read more

We took our out of state visiting friend to Tarpon Springs...shopping, sight seeing and lunch...of course. We had lunch at The Parthenon. George the manager was friendly & welcoming, Shawn our server gave perfect service and our lunch of gyros was...tasty. Tom is part Greek so the atmosphere and food were an extra treat for him...OPA! read more

Best place we have been in Tarpon yet. Really enjoyed it, fair prices, not touristy (yet). Closes early though out of season (New Years to Mothers Day). Kids don't really like cheese, but when that flaming sagakani came to the table, they couldn't get enough. Sometimes this cheese is too salty, not here. Next, Lamb gigantic gyro- standard gyro-yumminess, would suggest a more even spread of the taziki sauce. A substantial-4-2 amount of thin sliced meat. Fries are $2 extra. Greek salad, with a creamy potato salad which was how a Greek salad potato salad should be (NO mustard), chunks of feta, cuke, olives tomato and no onions, by request. They did not offer anchovies- odd in my opinion. Kalamari- skip it. Tender, when I had a piece that actually had meat in it. Otherwise, just crisp outer coating. Show-stopper ---broiled octopus. Wow!!! Tender, fresh seasoned in simple lemon, olive oil (slight for the cooking process) oregano. Really good. My first time eating octopus this way and I am happy I did! Didn't try dessert Good stuff here at Parthenon. read more

I brought my family dinner and desserts and requested my service dogs obtain water from the register. My dogs have vests, tags and all requirements for service dogs... This establishment refused to allow my dogs to have water. They would allow ME to purchase water. They also do not allow refills on your refreshments- I will take a photo of their "large" drinks... To deny my service dog water is reprehensible and that is the due to the ownership the establishment. The 2 workers were regurgitating the owner's wishes...sad. read more

Even at 11:30 on a weekday, the owner is outside with a smile on his face, beaming with pride. He shouts, "Opa!" And lists items he thinks the people will like. Good news is, people DO like it! Lunch for us was a couple of salads. We had one Greek and one village salad. Both salads were dressed with the most delicious homemade dressing. Yup, save your pita to sop up the dressing and natural juices from the salad. The Greeks call that zoumí...at least my dad does. Delicious food friendly attentive service. Highly recommended! read more

I had the lemon cake , it was moist and had the right amount of lemon. I also took home baklava for my husband. Great place for a treat

Decided to take family to Tarpon Springs. They haven't tried Greek food but we're game to try it. Parthenon was a great choice. The gyro is great. Not too greasy and not too dry. I really liked the red pepper hummus. The portion sizes were huge. Highly recommend the Greek fries. There were also options for those who weren't ready to commit to Greek food. My mother-in-law had the flatbread pizza which was really good and huge. Service was great. Trip was very patient with my family's indecisiveness. Everyone was friendly. Would definitely go back! read more

Came here only because Hellas was out of power. Bad choice. A few extra guests and they were totally off their game. Drinks took 20 minutes and I lost track of how long our food took. The waitress forgot ketchup, tartar sauce, drink reorders, you name it. The gyro had too much meat ( weird complaint) but that left no room for tomatoes. The tzatziki sauce was too thick like mayonnaise and tasteless. Next time I can't get into Hellas I'll try Mamas. read more

If you are craving a gyro, this is the place!! Food was delicious, service was great, dining room clean, 4 stars cause they need to put some attention to the ladies room! We definitely will be back cause those gyros were huge and the meat flavorful lol read more

This place was fantastic! First of all; $1 bud lights. Can't argue with that. Next, we got the hummus and a tomato/feta/onion salad (sorry I forget what it's called). Amazing. The pita was fresh and delicious. The hummus was wonderful. I don't know where they found that perfect tomato. Lastly, the staff was very friendly and welcoming! Samantha, our server, was wonderful. It was great to just sit by the water and enjoy a delicious and disproportionately inexpensive snack! Would absolutely come again! read more

We wanted just a snack so we had the broiled octopus. It was amazing. The gyros were so large and looked delicious. Service not up to par yet we would certainly go back. read more

The food was very mediocre at best. Most of it was frozen and or canned. Very disappointing overall. However the bakery and desserts were very good and fresh. read more

Great authentic meal. Nice wait staff - Keith was a nice fellow and knew his beer. Spanakopita pie was a wonderful way to start - served warm. Greek salad and all-lamb gyro (special) was amazing. The sandwich was served with au jus. The kid had a cheese burger which was cooked properly and presented nicely. read more

My family was craving Gyros and we decided to try this place!!! It was a hit!!! Gyros are amazing, the flavor is spectacular!! We ordered the Gyro platter and was huge, two gyros plus greek fries, which were not the best we've had but the gyro outweighed everything! Prices are decent and the service super, super nice! We highly recommend this place! read more

Fun! Noisy, family friendly restaurant with large portions of tasty Greek food. Decor is kinda tired with sagging ceiling tiles and cracked, well, everything. Very good & fast service. read more

I loved this restaurant! My server Doug was so sweet and amazing! Always there checking on us and making sure we were good. Will definitely be back! read more

Grest table service. $1.00 draft beers. Had Saganaki. Grest and flaming. Eat here and Not at Hellas.

The portions are huge and the food is fresh and delicious! Be sure to upgrade your fries to "Greek fries" (comes with feta cheese ontop and tzatziki sauce! read more

Service is decent, in my opinion it is kinda annoying how servers rotate and check on you every couple of minutes. Price is cheap with all the competitors on sponge dock. Atmosphere is quiet and kind of hot. Food is really mediocre at best, all my fried foods were way over fried, over battered, greasy not really edible. The Parthenon gyro is edible but not good, the meat was well over cooked and tough and chewy. Overall it's cheap and edible if you're willing to settle for low quality. read more

The food was surprisingly good and their prices are very reasonable. The staff was also very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

I ordered the Greek salad which was good. A little light on the veggies and heavy on the dressing though. My husband had the gyro. It didn't say it wasn't served with feta in it already and the waiter didn't say anything so when it came out he had to wait for a side of feta that was an extra $1.25. He got half way through gyro and had to stop and ask for more tzatziki as the meat was very dry . My son had the kids Mac and cheese which he seemed to enjoy. Unfortunately, 20 minutes after we left our family was struck with a terrible case of upset stomachs. Not something you ever want to have happen after eating out somewhere. We won't be back as we'll always associate this place with a quick trip to the bathroom. read more

We had lunch here and it was really good! The portions were generous! It's not fancy but it's comfortable and casual. My husband & I shared a combination plate with gyros and the pork kabob! The Greek french fries were very tasty! One of our friends had a burger and the other had the gyros. Everyone enjoyed their food! They had $1 Bud Lite drafts that were nice and cold! The service was great. The staff was friendly. We will be back next time we visit Tarpon Springs! read more

All I can say is wow. When they brought the food it looked so good I got right to it and forgot to take pictures. I had the entree size broiled octopus and entree size fried calamari. The broiled octopus was excellent, good flavor and not chewy. I highly recommend it. The fried calamari was good, crispy with above average taste. Both meals were served with steak fries with feta cheese, pita bread and a slice of tomato and lettuce. The service was good and the staff very friendly. I ate here on a Saturday night and it was not busy and was seated right away. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely recommend this place. read more

The food was just perfect for a guy that is not a fan of Greek food. Ordered a chicken souvlaki and the taste of the accompanying sauce was not to over powering, just perfect! One souvlaki filled me up for hours, never thought one "sandwich" would be so satisfying. read more

My family and I have been to this place many many times!! We always take of our out of town guest here. They have such great food and waiters. They have a good size kids menu too. The plates are huge portions! A must try is the pork kabobs so tender and full of favor. The pita bread is addicting! It has a great view of the action outside and the boats going by on the water. read more

Wonderful food and great service! Thought we had been to every great restaurant in Tarpon Springs, this exceeded our expectations!

Very friendly. Excellent food and service. Greeter on the sidewalk saying hello in a nonaggressive manner. Brett was my server and he did an above and beyond job. read more

Love the Saganaki and Gyros are the best. Every time I come to Tarpon Springs FL I have to come here. It's amazing food and great staff

Really good Greek food! We love the Greek salad and the flat breads. I highly recommend it!

Huge gyros! Perfectly seasoned. Tons of delicious meat. Fresh veggies. The sauce was perfect and the pita hot and fresh. The service here is outstanding and it's a great price for the amount of food you get. Zero complaints and absolutely delicious food! read more

This is an average Greek Restaurant. Our meal consisted of typical Greek food. On the menu it says "Greek fries". They are just regular French fries. Service was quite slow and place was not busy. Waitress and manager were very nice. I'm sure there may be better restaurants to try in this area. If we return to the Sponge Docks, we'll pass on this place. Once was sufficient. read more
