We are return customers that have dined in and do Carry-out from here over the years. We did a large. carry-out yesterday evening and the consensus from all of us was not a good one regarding the lamb chops. They were tough, rubbery, did not have the usual char factor we are used to receiving from this restaurant. They were also much thicker than their usual. Could be the quality of the lamb chops they're buying but the taste, the look, the seasoning was not typical of what we are used to seeing coming out of their kitchen. If we were eating at the restaurant, we would have sent the lab chops back. They were that awful. New cook in the kitchen on Friday, April 3rd? Epic fail! Lose the cook or lose your clientele. Disappointed. read more

This place has great food! Lemon rice soup. Lamb Chops. Chicken gyro. All are top notch. The service is excellent. They do their best and it shows. And after the renovation and new lights, this place feels fantastic. Keep up the great job! read more

When the original Greek owners ran this establishment, the service was excellent and the food was authentically Greek. After the sale, that authenticity slowly faded. One by one, the knowledgeable Greek waitstaff disappeared--along with their deep understanding of the cuisine and the personalities that made the experience special. A symbolic example says it all: the statue of the goddess Athena was removed because the new owners "could not stand her," much like the long-standing Greek employees who were pushed out. While the new owners certainly have the right to make changes, those decisions have alienated the very Greek customers who once supported this place. If you want a true measure of authenticity, look at whether Greek customers keep coming back. Returning Greeks are the best certification of genuine ingredients, proper preparation, and cultural respect. Common sense says you don't drive away your most loyal--and most qualified--customers. read more

The food here is consistently excellent. I usually get the lamb chop dinner and split it with my companion. It is costly but delicious. My other favorite is the Gyro sandwich. Such a generous serving, it makes two meals. Their salads are also excellent! read more

Great ambience, great food! Always consistent, the lemon rice soup was delicious and a large portion. The Tommy's salad is literally the best Greek salad and I have high standards. Love Uptown! read more

The last time I came here was years ago. They've since remodeled and I really like the interior. Definitely gives it a more luxe look & feel. Good Greek food. I mostly come here for the saganaki and it is consistently good. Service was excellent and he did a good job on the "opa". I get the gyro and just deconstruct it w/o the bread and the green beans are really good too. Will return. read more

Our server crystal was amazing! She was so busy at the bar area & she made sure we were taken care of

Delicious. I had the Jimmys salad which is a Greek salad with dill. Very good dressing and homemade bread was served with it. Also the chicken meat balls are very good. I will have to go back and try more on their menu. Great service. Nice ambiance. read more

Uptown Parthenon - Jimmys salad - Greek Near Me - West Bloomfield, Michigan

Pretty frequent customer here but think this is my first review. Normally a fan but dinner last night fell short a bit. I have enjoyed one of their "specialties" previously (vegatarian moussaka) but it wasn't as good as it usually is last night. Can't put my finger on it but it has a flavor it normally does not have that I didn't care for. Also, the lemon rice soup was unusually salty last night. (Chef, please ease up on the salt). Portions are always generous there and the service is always friendly and excellent. If you enjoy Greek food, Uptown is worth a visit. P.S. salads are always good here. read more

They have very good reasonably priced food and a nice friendly staff. We love their Greek salads with chicken.

This place is truly a timeless classic. Service is great, restaurant is nice, new, and clean. Food is excellent. Everything we ordered was amazing!! Lemon rice soup, saginaki, flamin sausage, gyro, nothing disappointing. Anytime I'm in the area it's not a question, this is where I would eat. read more

Whether it's lunch or dinner, it's simply delicious. From being greeted by Tony, the manager, to the fabulous waiter Gazi, Gazi goes way out of his way to make sure everything is perfect. every time we go there. Now add in the delicious food and you have a perfect meal. The sauce on the chicken lemonato is the BEST! read more

We went for an early dinner. Everything on the menu looked so good that we ordered 4 appetizers to share. The servers were attentive. They brought us a warm basket of fresh bread and our order was out a few minutes later. The saganaki was the best I'd ever had. The grape leaves were stuffed nicely with lamb with lemon sauce. The meatballs, a little salty, but tasty. The calamari was tender. So much food, we had to take some home. Excellent experience! We will return. read more

The interior renovations are striking. However, everything is wood, vinyl, etc.; there is nothing to reduce the noise level and it was very noisy, especially in the main dining room. We relocated to the bar area which was better but still noisy. We had excellent service from Theodoros, a long term server. Our group of five had different opinions on the food. Three people ordered Greek; two really enjoyed their food and the other said it was the worst Greek food he had ever had. I had the vegetable stir fry. It was excellent and I would order it again. There was a nice variety of fresh vegetables and a great sauce over rice. The wine selection is very poor. They do not offer any medium or higher end wines. The corkage charge for bringing your own bottle is $30. read more

Today was 'a red letter day' for me. I ate 'my first gyro sandwich EVER!' I'm from Phoenix & visiting family and would definitely recommend. I ate the whole thing!!! . My husband LOVES a good gyro & has tried to get me to try one for 40 years! Today, he carried out from here. The bag of gyros smelled so good as my husband brought the bag into the house!!! The food was hot & delicious and 'Oh so Good!' We will definitely be back! read more

My family made the mistake of not planning ahead and instead, we found ourselves seeking a restaurant that could accommodate a party of six at prime time (7:30ish) on a recent Saturday night... Uptown Parthenon was our fifth or sixth attempt and we were pleased when they told us to come on in. It was clear when we arrived, however, that they were very understaffed. We waited a good 20 minutes before getting acknowledged and another 10 or so before getting seated. Once we sat down, however, we went to the bar to order some drinks, which we needed after that wait ;). Dino was our server and worked his ass off to make sure to get our order in -- we did wait awhile, but the wait was worth it. The food was as good as we remembered it being from years ago. Our party enjoyed the saganaki, fried calamari, and cold artichoke appetizers to start. Entrees included several Jimmy's Salads, Gyro, Moussaka and more. Portion sizes are large and pricing is reasonable. Needless to say, we left with very full bellies. We will definitely return, and hopefully by then, they will be fully staffed! read more

I ordered their chicken lemonato on takeout. The food was delicious! I appreciate the extra effort they put into bagging a takeout order. The individual containers were closed and then wrapped with clear plastic food wrap so the containers couldn't pop open during transport back home. Another good point about this experience was the portion size. It was pretty big. I was able to create a meal for a second day. I'll definitely go back and visit this place again the future! read more

Dined here tonight with large group. They do have a problem with early evening sun that blinds you despite blinds that reduce the glare. Service was great and so was food. We shared fire sausage, fire cheese, hummus and salad for appetizers. All very good. My main was the steak kabobs and was delicious. Highly recommend this place. read more

The food was delicious but the highlight of our meal was most definitely our server, Ilana. She was friendly, welcoming, and took such good care of us!!! read more

Server was busy but adequate. Restaurant wasn't too crowded for a Sunday lunch. Food was okay.

This is a very nice place with a nice atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. Staff was friendly. The salad without lettuce was awesome. The gyro was as well. Picture shows half an gyro. Prices are a little high, but great place to go to. read more

The food was great . It was hot and the service was outstanding. I recommend Uptown Parthenon for a delicious meal. The ambiance is also very nice. read more

Ignored for almost 10 minutes after being seated. The guy doing water, bread and menus ... failed. The baked eggplant and spinach pie on the plate were both cold. Not lukewarm, cold. Kind'a odd given that the kitchen was sort'a slow to get the plate out. Server got it re-heated to lukewarm. Not a fan of the remodel - all the hard surfaces are much noisier than before. Will I return? Maybe once, to see if last night was an anomaly, or the new normal. FWIW; the new streamlined menu eliminated Jimmy's platter. I always like the variety and having enough food to take home for another full meal. read more

Great food! We've been returning for 8 years or more. But the last 2 or 3 visits we've noticed a change. Yesterday we decided it would be our last return; we even decided not to even eat and just left. All 3 times same vibe. Cold, unwelcoming, no kinda hello-not a smile and dry. Walked away when we walked up..We sat at the door for 5-10 minutes he returned and seemed more relaxed-"please seat yourselves anywhere you'd like." All is well in our minds,so we seat ourselves in a back booth. Waitress comes-same no hello nothing and he kinda tossed the two menus in the table;turns to the next table. We kinda just looked at each other for a second. He makes another spin 5-10 seconds later and asked are we ready kinda sharply. It's NO food in the world that delicious-to over look your nastiness. These guys are probably just old grump men; that's been on the Coney Island circuit. Or maybe they can't find good help and are just tired. But, ayyyyy don't do the customers like that... we're here to support you! read more

Food and service were excellent. Ambience was not for me. It was not a fine restaurant; it was like a coney. Wine was average. Everyday ambience. read more

Best Lamb chops in town. Also, great village salad Tell them to char the chops and get no more done then Med rare, I like to order rare, when you tell them to char rare they come out Med rare. read more

Garbage customer service, employees cannot follow directions. Asked for a chicken gyro with no cheese due to an allergy. Sandwich had cheese in the middle. Called into explain and they refused to comp me for the sandwich. Did not acknowledge their mistake or the severity of the situation. read more

This place has been around a long time. Saganaki is always the best from here. I love their gyro meat + tzatziki sauce! Opa!

Very disappointed with my order that they forget to put the dill on my Jimmy salad how hard is that to do!

Man, let tell you. It was so refreshing to have great food that was local. My wife and I were treated with great respect even at the busy time we went. Food was very good. I had the lamb. It came out perfect and was delicious. The sides were also treated with the same amount of love. Restaurant was clean and well organized. To top it off the service was great read more

How are you going to charge $55 for a half tray of Jimmy salad and charge $18 for ranch to go with it???? That's almost half the cost of the salad it's self ? Understandable it's a 32 oz cup of ranch but $18 is wild. How overpriced can you be ? read more

The food here is so so good! Kept it simple with lemon rice soup, greek salad, gyro and fries. The gyro was $16 but man oh man the portion is huge and the meat was delicious. Those crispy slices are everything. Ask for extra tzatziki sauce though, it is delicious. I only took off one star because our server was running around like crazy and wasnt very attentive. When he did stop by, we had to remind him more than once for things we had requested earlier. Other than that, this is a great place for greek food read more
