George has done it again. For lunch he has a new BBQ menu. BBQ ham, BBQ brisket, BBQ pulled chicken, BBQ pulled pork. Great sauce, not too sweet, not too spicy. I had the brisket and my friend had the chicken. Wow and Wow again. Way to go George!

Table not properly cleaned when seated. Waitress on automatic, asking how we liked our appetizer when it was clear that we hadn't touched it yet. Parthenon Pasta Platter tasty, but arrived lukewarm & without the side of a Greek potato ordered.. Other guest at our table got a Greek potato, when she'd ordered Greek fries. Server checked her order &... More

The food is great and the people are friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Greek. It's just wonderful to see a family work to have this special place. Try the lamb or goat it's great!!

This place wowed us. We had great appetizers--spanikopita, cheese counterpart to that, hummus sampler, then we got some soso entrees (the seafood greek pasta on the first page? and stuffed peppers) and when I sent mine back because I didn't like it they were so friendly and accommodating!!! Also we got dessert and tried all the Greek beers. It was... More

This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Lincoln. The food is excellent and tasty, the service is pleasant, and the ambiance is unique. The Greek wine is also delicious! A great place for a night away from the daily grind.

This is a restaurant my wife and I just don't frequent enough. While it can get crowded and slow down service, the food and attention always make up for it. Food is authentic. They offer special sides regularly. They have Greek beer. Desserts are fantastic. The owner always makes his way around. They do seasonal dinners/events that I haven't made... More

We have been going to the Parthenon for years since it opened at its current location. It is convenient for us and the great food and service keep us coming back. Since we have not actually been to Greece, I cannot say how "authentic" it is, I just know it is good! Non Greek specials also happen and they are... More
