★★★★★ 5.0 Chris · Oct 2025

I was led here by a coupon for a free gyro and I hope in every timeline I find that coupon. The aesthetics were spectacular. I was greeted by a warm employee and a Greek statue, pictured below. There was an optional (hidden) virtual tour, and an upstairs roof garden that stunned me. The walls were clad in Greek memorobilia, and I felt at home in some steamy Aegen beach. The food was fantastic, certainly worth the price. For a restaurant within a "Raising Cane's" or "Healthy Fastfood" priceline, or even a somewhat upscale diner, "Parthenon Gyros" excels.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Sameer Khan · Oct 2025

Was craving gyros and saw this place was close by, thought I’d give it a try. I got the “freaky greek” sandwich, which was pitched to me as 6oz of gyro meat (compared to the regular gyro sandwich which had 4oz) as well as 2 chicken skewers on top (which the “mega” gyro sandwich doesn’t have). Sweet. $19 total. The vibe itself is pretty cool. The workers are friendly and the place is clean. The patio seating upstairs is beautiful and is great for people watching on the street. There’s a street level patio too, but I highly recommend you sit upstairs… much nicer and secluded. The sandwich itself was SUPER mid. Probably Sysco or other large food distributor. The gyro meat didn’t really have the consistency or thickness of gyro meat… it was more like the shredded flank you’d find in a Philly

This was our first time here. We have fairly high standards for gyros and this place does not disappoint. The atmosphere is fun with greek head busts and fun posters all around. The staff was helpful and friendly. My husband really enjoyed the spicy gyro and I ordered the Chicken Caesar pita. We both enjoyed our selections! We also ordered the cheese fries and they are very good!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Lady TANDA · Feb 2026

The portion for this does not feed 2 people. This is supposed to be a plate that can feed 2 people. Something should be noted. They will give you damn near a bag of fries but when you orde more meat it comes in an aluminum foil with maybe two slivers of meet chopped finely.

★★★★★ 5.0 Katie Roth · Jan 2026

Really glad we decided to stop by! The gyros were very delicious and the perfect amount of food. The atmosphere and artwork is super fun, too. How can you not smile while dining with Baaaphrodite and Mooous??
