Thought it was strange and gross for the waitress to use a feather duster cleaning overhead lamps all around the restaurant and over tables/counters while we were eating. Then, never wiped the tables as dust fell onto them. Wondering too why every time we need refills or anything, the waitresses never come back?! It’s a strange place with this kind of service?! 🤷♂️
Best coney Island around, me and my family have been coming here for about 9 years now and surprisingly they still have like 90% of the same staff so they must really take care of their employees, which is awesome. The food has always been on point and Delicious. The owners always great us with a smile and small talk when we try. All around 5 star no doubt!!!
I came in tonight with my family first time since 2018 and the service was terrible. I understand we are in a pandemic and that waitresses are short and places are filled with dining services. The food was terribley my burger was burnt completely and they have me a hand select of fries on a soup plate and charged me 2.99. It was what was left over in the basket. The waitresses were rude completely to everyone including the older gentleman who sit at the counter that are veterans. There was alot of impatience and shouting between the waitresses especially where we sat. Im not trying to be Karen and I dont write reviews much but this was definitely a terrible service and I wont bring my family or myself back.
Unfortunately, my order was undercooked (raw chicken) the staff were all very nice and accommodating as they went and made the dish again. I dont feel like you get a lot of food for the prices. Very skimpy on how much food you get. Sadly everything we had to eat tasted off, and we werent happy. It is in no way the waitresses fault, and to be honest she was the only positive thing about this experience.
Yes, 5 stars! Food was great, terrific service and super friendly staff. We tried to eat at TX Roadhouse but too long of a wait. Went to Logans but left after 35 minutes of waiting to be seated and manager clearly didnt want our business (we were the only ones there and he was going to hold us off longer due to carryout being backed up). So we stopped at the Parthenon and very glad we did! We hadnt been there in a while but will certainly go back soon.
Parthenon is a wonderful family friendly restaurant. We’ve been coming here for about 8 years and we always have a great experience. Eddie is the best and his entire staff are so kind and welcoming. The food is fresh and tastes delicious. They have a lot of variety so there’s something for everyone. Great ambience and its clean and comfortable. They have new dividers in place in between booths due to the pandemic, which have added extra protection. I am always impressed when I dine here and I leave feeling happy and satisfied. I’ve introduced Parthenon to my relatives and friends and they’ve enjoyed their experiences as well. Special thanks to Eddie and Nao and compliments to all the cooks and staff!
First of all they respect social distancing and masks when you are not in your seat.The food selection is awesome! I had a gyro omlete with grits. Usually you only get an ice cream scoop of grits at most places that serve them. Well, I was surprised to see a nice bowl, just how I like them. The wife enjoyed her meal as well! This was my first visit and I will be back. Great service and fair prices! Give them a try!
The restaurant it self is clean . The waitress we had was ok.The food was terrible. I think the last time I ate worst tasting food was a vegetarian MRE.The onion ring burger was soggy and tasted like somone put it in a bowl of water before giving it to me .the cheese fries were somthing else . The nastiest thing Ive had in a long time . The fake cheese (which is expected) was orange as donald trumps spray tan and tasted absolutely nothing like cheese and more like melted plastic .I only ate 2 bites out of my burger and about 5 french fries and told the waitress is was terrible . No offer to replace it refund my money .She asked if I wanted a to go box though. I declined ,I wouldnt even feed this semi edible substance to my dog...
As far as diners go, this place is pretty good. They have cheap but tasty food, and the staff are very nice. Theres also a particularly attractive waitress there that makes their bad days, where a simple order of burgers and fries might have 3 mistakes, easily forgivable. Luckily, those days seem few and far between. A solid 4 out of 5.
Awesome service and did was good... Expect for the soup... We seemed to have gotten the bottom of the barrel on that.5 of us ordered it.. None of us had much of anything in it.. Barely any noodles at all.... But all in all great..Service was terrific...5 star.. We told it or waitresss we needed to be quick, because we had an affair to get to! They were so fast... Will be back...
Parthenon has gone down slightly over the last couple years. they need to season the eggs and breakfast potatoes. they need to switch to a thicker cut bacon because this bacon is sad. I do love they have american fries, thats the reason I come here. The french toast is great. Please consider the two negatives.
Lots of options. (See second trip) I had a Reuben, it was very good and the corned beef was very tender. I saw an advertisement for Irish nachos on the table, as I was leaving, think Ill try that next time. I will be back! $$. Second trip with my brother for breakfast. He had to send his runny whites of his eggs back. Then he decided he wanted a Coney. I dont know if it was intentional or not but the hot dog on the Coney was like jerky, super tough. He couldnt even cut it with a fork. Waitress very nice and friendly
Used to frequent quite a bit years ago, but I found a few other places as business took me in another direction. Parthenon is still a good place to go, and I came here because my waitress at my regular Tuesday stop was off. Have been back four or five times since and there is one waitress I consider to be very good, and one who needs some more training. Otherwise, a nice place to eat.My regular Tuesday stop is no longer working at another restaurant, so Parthenon will be seeing a lot more of me - for sure.
We went to the Parthenon Coney Island for a family breakfast. Our first person to meet was a warm welcoming hostess. Our waitress was right behind her. The service was good the food was delicious. We sat for a while and visited . A nice clean place to spend a morning.
I’m not giving a one star for the restaurant but for the waitress my grandma and I just had. My family and I have been coming here for years and I’d say we’re a regular. My dad and I always have great experiences so that’s why I was so disappointed at this waitress that had helped (not really helped) us today. My grandma and I ordered saganaki as an appetizer while we were looking over the menu and Eddie was great with the flames! Eddie has been so great to my family and I so we love him but Ashely (i think that was her name) wasn’t so great. She came back when we first got our appetizer and asked if we needed a few minutes and I told her yes. But if I would’ve known she wasn’t going to come back, I would’ve just ordered then but I wanted to spend time with my grandma. We were on a time crunch so waiting over 30 mins for her to come back was very aggravating considering every time we looked back to see where she was, she was eating, talking and laughing it up with the co workers but never came back to take our order. Out of frustration, my grandma and I paid for just the appetizer (which i really think should’ve been free considering how long we waited for her to never come back) and then left. As a regular, I’m really disappointed because we always love coming there. I’ll make sure not to be sat in her section again.
Excellent service! Seated right away, drinks 1 minute later, hot soup 2 minutes later, meals arrived within 15 minutes of arrival and they were busy. I recommend the chicken kabob dinner!! Huge meal, could feed 2-3. When I dine out with my 3 young children, restaurants can be dicy, but this place nailed it in every way.
I ordered a fruit bowl and it had to have been the freshest fruit Ive ever had in a restaurant. I was wondering why my order was taking a little longer than normal but when our very sweet waitress ( her name tag said Grandma) brought my order out, I realizedthis was a work of art. not just an ordinary fruit bowl that was sitting there in the refrigerator. They actually took their time and peeled, cut, diced a very generous bowl of fruit. Well worth the few extra minutes of waiting. 👍
Well I didnt even know that this place was there and we went in to get some dessert which a very nice gentleman told us what they had and suggested things well we ended up buying something and the people that worked there were giving people there orders and called them by name which I thought was super will go back again .
The food was pretty good for a Coney Island, the place seemed clean, but our waitress was pretty much non-existant. She did not come to the table for drink refills even once. We finally were able to flag her down, and even though we werent ready, asked for the check since we did not know when wed see her next. Terrible service, and the place was not even remotely busy. Please hire some people that arent un-caring.
We just had there chicken wings very good and there chill fries they could put a little more chill but it was on side of my chicken wings so but everything was great and my wife enjoy there club sandwich we will be back for your awesome wings me and my son love them for first time been there.
Literally tried this place yesterday, back again today. Their Greek salad is what I got both times. The chicken is well marinated and it has such large portions (I got the small ! ) I cant finish it all ! Their vegetables are all super fresh. I usually hate eating tomatoes at a restaurant because they get a weird flavor but they are good here. Im impressed and yes I know its just a salad but Im a happy luncher. The staff was super polite both times and the management is very aware of everything. I watched him ask POLITELY he treated his employees with kindess ugh awesome anyways he asked her to clear a table QUICKLY because someone was about to sit at an unwashed table, it looked clean but wasnt. I was super impressed.
Ever since our regular spot has been out my husband and I have been going to parthenon and I am never dissatisfied. The girls there are always nice and friendly so we never have problems with the staff. And lets just say the cooks are mean to that grill cause baby the food is ALWAYS great! Yumm.Just dont go thier on a sat morning. They are busy, good turn around but man they get packed. Haha.
The Gyro meat is the best! Waitresses are very friendly. The only thing I didnt appreciate was that a couple customers were talking politics and one of the waitresses was getting deep into the talk with them and I dont care to hear about politics when Im out and about. Especially when its about racist losers that I dont support. I dont really blame the waitress for trying to work herself into a bigger tip but she should be aware that not everyone agrees with certain policies. Other than that its a good place. If you get the gyros or just the meat ask em to lightly fry it or they might make it too fried and it can be a lil unpleasant.
Purple haired server was horrible. Ask for condiments and she goes on continiuing with her day. Never once offered refills. Had to go to server area to ask for things because she forgot some of our food and wouldnt being what was asked for. The food was good and came out quick but if your server has pinkish purple hair just get up abd leave.
Of all the Coneys ive eaten at this one is the best. Its very clean inside, the service is very good and the girls are polite & friendly and the food is very good. The owners Eddie & Sam are usually there walking around talking with the customers. Nice place to take your family out to eat at.
**Updated Review: !!EXTREMEly !!DISAPPOINTED!! with our visit this evening... Although we received our food quickly, my salad was NOT chopped as I ordered (Seriously? How hard is it to chop the lettuce??) and the full-size order of pancakes that Hubby added onto his order were incredibly tasteless even with butter and syrup and yum...egg shells in the fried eggs. $25.00 and tip... we left wishing we would have just gone through KFC where their food is always the same and we could have eaten much cheaper. We will never be back. Hhmmmm... couldnt change it two stars** Initial Review: One of our favorite restaurants to go to when we are in a hurry. The food is served quickly, always good, the waitresses are very attentive and its clean. GREAT addition to Riverview!!
I have always loved going here love the staff and food is good. Not sure if hes the owner or a manager but the heavy set guy should NEVER seat anyone. The last 2 times my husband and i went to eat there he sat us and we didnt get waited on for almost 15 minutes not one person asked if we had been helped. We dont bother anymore we go elsewhere..
Cook seemed to be in bad mood. Server had to remind him to put lettuce and tomato on my sub. You could hear that and additional plate slap into pickup area. Steak was over cooked dry, and bread toasted hard. Hotdogs tough. My first time there, wont return. Almost forgot, server sprayed 409 on center isle of tables while I and several others still dinning.. chemical smell worsened tast if food. Cealing fan help spread the spray. Afraid to finish food near spray area.
The service here is phenomenal they are very friendly and its a great place to take small children the food is always served very quickly and anyone with small children knows that when you are waiting for food it can feel like Pandoras box I recommend you give them a shot thank you for the great service and hospitality

2021-07-19This is my favorite coney island. Food is always on point 😊Even when its busy, the staff is still polite. Food comes relatively quick. Clean dining area. If youre in the down river area, check them out.

2022-06-02I had a coney dog the bun was very good ,the chili was very good, what I took exception to was the hot dog itself. It had a thick skin that when you bit into it was tough and kinda popped when your made it through it and then after chewing on it for a minute I was left chewing on a wad of skin,the actual meat inside was very good and tasty, but the chore of chewing and on the skin was not enjoyable.. other than that everything else was fine 🙂

2022-07-10Liver was raw. Stuffed French toast was bitter, not fully cooked. Scrambled eggs were also not fully cooked. Bananas were old. Pretzel bites were overcooked & hard. When we told them the liver was raw & even showed them the cook said oh well. There was nothing they could do about it. We were ignored most of the time we were there. I had to go find the waitress to get my bill. Then when I went to pay they saw & allowed me to stand at a closed register at the front for over 5 minutes. Paid almost $50 with tip only to leave feeling annoyed and sick. Overall bad service & food. I will not go back there.

2022-07-05Its decent, staff is very friendly, food is adequate but does not impress. Good breakfast or brunch rotational spot in the downriver area, but there are certainly better options.
