Parthenon Grille

Came here for Mother's Day and boy didn't disappoint! They had a new Prosecco margarita on the menu that was unbelievable. I absolutely love the whipped feta. The bread with the balsamic vinegar and oil is amazing. The lamb burger is my favorite and I can never stay away from it. My husband loved the chicken and waffles and my daughter loved the salmon, avocado toast with scrambled eggs. They're always spot on! I wish they'd add a basil martini to the menu. Oh dear! I forgot to mention that the baklava cheesecake was from heaven. And my daughter loved the berry cake.

I felt very welcomed and pampered by the food and service. The best pasta I ever had in a while. Me and my husband really enjoy our dishes. I would recommend mine which is Chicken San Marino & Shrimp. Special thanks to Brandon our waiter guy. He’s very nice and gave us the best service. We will definitely be back.

Great taste of Greek food. Most of the sauces are made in house. Even the gnocchi is made in house. Friendly casual atmosphere. I had the gyros plate, and there was plenty of food. I'll definitely be back.

Server was excellent. Margarita was an 8/10 and only $7!! Greek and Ceaser salads were good. My daughter enjoyed her calamari, but said it was too salty. Hubby had the Sirloin, which is said was OK. It wasn't bad, but wasn't seasoned well. I had the Rigatoni and chicken pasta with spinach, which was good, but the chicken was a bit rubbery; the sauce was delicious. Will definitely return and try another menu item.

My husband and I went to the Parthenon Grille on Valentine’s Day for the first time and it was wonderful. I ordered the filet with a side of fettuccine alfredo and the filet may have been the best filet I have ever had. My husband ordered the lamb chops and they were amazing as well. I am looking forward to going back and enjoying more from the menu.

The staff were super friendly and very accommodating! Answered all our questions and gave us 5 star service! We will for sure return, the food was enjoyable and plenty of food for the price!

Great place for quality food. Not a chain restaurant or a mall food place. Good for a second date. Clean, friendly. Real Greek food, not some gyro place. It's not the cheapest, depending on what you order, but it can be very reasonable too... again, depending on what you order. Had a nice NYE dinner here with the wife. Recommended.

Dinner was good! I had Filet Mignon with 1 side (broccoli and gouda soup). Hubby had Sirloin with loaded Bake Potato. After served, he request shredded cheese. Personally for 81.00 I thought the dinner should came with 2 sides. But it tasted good. Just thought 2 sides should be served with the meal.

Stopped in on a Sunday evening around 4pm and was delightfully surprised. Maddie our waitress was so friendly and helpful even made suggestions since it was our first time there. The Greek Nacho appetizer was fantastic! The drinks were strong and delicious. I had the Chicken Marino and the hubby got a steak....both were incredibly good. We will 100% be going back!!!

Decent...might have been better in its prime days. Just typical American food, better than airport food but not a place I would go out of my way to eat at.

This was my first time here and I was really impressed. I was greeted at the door like family. The food was really good and the service was exceptional. This is a really great spot to eat a variety of foods and catch a game. They also serves brunch, lunch and dinner.

Ummmm.... how are they still in business? Decent decor, friendly staff, zero flavor, and expensive prices. I left feeling completely unsatisfied. It's confusing too, since the ingredients were fresh and I can tell they took their time to make it, but.... this was a very underwhelming meal, in every way.

Be sure to check in on Yelp for your 10% discount My friend and I were in our way to pick up her wine order at a local winery, and thought we should grab lunch first. Always wise to eat something before you go wine tasting. My friend had eaten here before and thought we would both enjoy this. We weren't starving, so we thought we would just do some shareables. I looked at their menu online and we agreed we definitely wanted the Greek dip plate. What had us most interested in it was the Tzatziki. However, when it came out, it did not have any. Just spicy feta dip, and hummus. I checked the menu in-house and it appears it's not included. Big bummer on our part. Don't think we would have ordered it if we had known no Tzatziki. I had the Greek salad- it was covered in dressing- I had to drain it out and off my salad- no joke, like 1/2 a cup poured out. So I would suggest getting the dressing on the side- my salad was literally swimming in dressing. The sweet potato fries were yummy, and served hot. We both enjoyed the broccolini- cooked perfectly. The garlic mashed potatoes were the perfect comfort food. My friend enjoyed the side pasta. We had a ton of leftovers and we were able to have a full lunch from them the next day. We took the Greek dip plate with us and paired it with Tzatziki sauce- pure perfection. Our server was friendly and the restaurant was clean. Plenty of parking

Well, we had friends drive in from Franklin to have a birthday lunch at Parthenon Grill. It was our first time there and we were looking forward to a great lunch. The inside was empty when we got there but we all sat outside on a beautiful day. We ordered drinks and appetizers which were delicious but took so long to come. Then the entrees came. Well 3 out of 4 were hardly warm, and the stroganoff was cold and very very tough so that had to go back. My lamb burger was sooooo dry, the chicken dish was good but cold and the string beans were also cold. I don't understand how that happens. Well, unfortunately, I was embarrassed since so many have said how good it was. Oh well. That's one more restaurant for us not to go to. hmmmm Disappointing.

We had the immense pleasure of working with Nicki while planning the rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding. She was so helpful and patient while answering all of our questions in a timely manner. The event space was beautiful and provided ample room for our occasion. The selection of food was amazing and it all looked and tasted wonderful! The service was so kind, courteous and professional! Nicki and the staff were an answer to our prayers! We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience. We highly recommend The Parthenon Grille to everyone!

Great Greek food. Our servicer was very attentive. The decor is very well put together. Definitely recommend trying it out.

Since we moved to Murfreesboro, the Parthenon has been a landmark restaurant. I even remember making a special trip across town to their old location and have eaten at both a few times. My review today is based on years of experience with this place, but is heavily weighted based on today's visit. There were some very good things and some disappointing. First the good, then the not so good. I ordered an appetizer and a soup. The appetizer was unique and quite flavorful. I loved it! It was the Parthenon Dip, a blend of tomato, mushrooms, onion, feta and cream, topped with Parmesan. It was served with fried pita, which I had never experienced before. I really liked it. They also served fresh hot bread with an olive oil dipping concoction. That was also wonderful. They flavored the water with lemon, which was very nice. Now for the not so good. I arrived a half hour after opening for lunch and was the first customer. You would think that a server would have appeared promptly - no. I got to listen to loud social chatter and laughing until my server finished her community building activity to come see what I wanted. It may not have been very long, maybe 5-10 minutes but I felt less than important. I ordered soup and the appetizer. The soup came out and I waited for a while for my appetizer. A couple came in and placed their order and immediately got their appetizer at the same time as my delayed service. Hmmm. Crab soup of the day was creamy and delicious but by no means resembled crab in flavor. It was KRAB, or whitefish substitute. Blah! Come on. At least get some Better Than Bouillon and TRY to fool me into believing that there was a seafood component. A restaurant with this price structure and reputation should do better than this. When I complained, I was offered a replacement of their standard Avogolemono, but I passed. I was charged full price for the soup. Most restaurants would not charge for a dish that did not satisfy, especially a higher end establishment. No desserts were on the menu and none were mentioned. Ho-hum. In looking over the other reviews, folks either love the place or hate it. As for me, I drive past it once per week at a minimum, and will keep on driving past. I believe they have a regular clientele that keeps them in business.

Great ambience, food, and service. Brandon had a great sense of humor and made the evening enjoyable. We enjoyed the zucchini appetizer, Greek nachos appetizer, and Greek dip plate. Nice portions we left full and had plenty of leftovers.

Well I have sat on this review a few weeks because up until Mother's Day I would have fully recommend this restaurant. I'm not sure if our server was new or if they were truly that unorganized. We had to have a reservation (not a problem) 2:30 on a Sunday. Still in time for specials -according to the menu online. Verification was made with the reservations on the full menu being served. We waited an additional 30 minutes upon arrival. As we are seated we wanted to order drinks and apps. Drinks no problem 2 for 1's the server talks up all the drinks. Until he comes back to the table with only one drink and that was his mistake no specials today. A "business decision" . There was a specialized menu, and there were out of several things. We did order appetizers Oyster Rockefeller and Spanakopita. Both were almost inedible. Entrees my partner and I ordered the steak pita plate and the mahi-mahi. The steak plate is my favorite thing always so fresh this was not at its best. The steak was dried out and I am certain they dropped the bottle of seasoning on the salad. The mahi-mahi we didn't eat it was horrid. Flavorless and cold it was unreal. (This was taken off the bill.) Other people in the party their main course came out with out the side. Our server said there was a misunderstanding it didn't come with a side. We had to go get a menu and show him what was in print. No specials also meant the Yelp check in was not honored. This was an epic fail. I highly doubt I will go back.

The food was amazing!! I'm definitely coming back for more here! Staff was friendly and most helpful.

I was in Murfreesboro for work and decided to give this place a shot as it was close to the hotel. The inside of the restaurant is clean and updated, with a nice covered patio area. I took one of the empty seats at the bar. The menu was easy to navigate, and had a nice mix of items, but not so many as to make it cluttered or lack focus. They also had a small, but decent draft beer list, with several TN breweries represented. I had the Greek Lamb Burger with fries. The burger was slightly overdone making it a bit dry, but had good flavor, and the fries were decent but nothing special. I had a Country Boy Shotgun Wedding Brown Ale & a Yee Haw Dunkel, both were served in a cold shaker pint glass. The bartender was friendly and attentive. She made sure my glass was never empty, and the food came out fairly quickly. All in all, it was a decent experience but not memorable, and a bit pricey for what it was.

I have gone to The Parthenon Grill restaurant in Murfreesboro a handful of times, most okay but at times questionable but like the convenience! Tonight I had a ribeye steak served on a cutting board, a used cutting board AND this is their regular practice, serving steak on a USED kitchen cutting board! 1st- My steak & baked potato taste like wood! 2nd-Unsanitary! I spoke to the owner who said, "it's the chefs decision to serve that way". She asked if I wanted a "new" steak (NO) and would let the chef know my steak tasted like wood!!! The check came and not only did I get charged full price for my steak, fine, but they didn't even offer a dessert or drink!!! Moral of the story... Never eat off of a used cutting board in a restaurant and NEVER eat at The Parthenon Grill, the health department should "shut it down"!

Food and service was great. Great family owned restaurant . Nice quite environment for a great meal!!

After trying them for dinner one evening, we decided to host our wedding rehearsal dinner here in one of their private rooms. They had a very professional setup and service, even let us use their screen for our projector. The food is great! Love the Chicken Marino and the Parthenon dip. New York Strip is great too. Will be back

Appetizer feta was amazing! Drinks were on point, burger was top notch! We will absolutely be returning!

Tried and true! We enjoyed this restaurant 30 years ago before we moved several times. Moved back to Murfreesboro in November 2022 and wanted to revisit Parthenon Grille. The experience (food and service) were great! Delicious and comfortable sum it up for us. We're back!

Been coming here for years but unfortunately tonight will be my last. We always come on Sundays and Wednesdays to get the Oysters Rockefeller for $7 which had been $5 a year ago. I checked their website last night to make sure nothing had changed only to be totally surprised when I received my bill. 29 DOLLARS FOR 10 OYSTERS! I asked the server about it and she said they took them off the special but just hadn't removed it from the website. And the chicken and shrimp dish has doubled in price as well. I get inflation but I got a full dozen last week at Acme Oyster house for $18. They have out priced themselves from my budget.

Had a great dinner here the other day with a good friend. I have been here a couple of times for a quick cocktail and appetizer, but have never eaten a meal here before the other day. They have a great menu: steaks, seafood, pasta, etc. we really enjoyed ourselves. For a starter, I had the crab soup which was just ehhh, we also had the bacon wrapped scallops which were wonderful, and the crab cake which was also very good! For dinner I had the lamb chops and lobster tail and my friend had the filet topped with mushrooms (excellent) and grilled shrimp. And for dessert we tried the crepe brûlée (fabulous) and some banana torte of some kind (ehhh). Overall, the meal and service was wonderful. I look forward to coming back again very soon and trying some of the other wonderful sounding menu items.

First time there we were we interrupted service because we're told that there was nothing available The second time we were placed in the bar at a table it was loud and uncomfortable. The menu was forgettable as well as the food

I like their selection of dinners. Lamb chops are my favorite second most favorite thing is the Greek salad with anchovies.

My husband and I have always loved the ambiance of Parthenon. We have even recommended it to many of our friends who also now have a fondness to the Parthenon. So of course when my friend drove from Atlanta to visit, I suggested the Parthenon for dinner. Needless to say, we will never go back to the Parthenon. Four friends out to dinner and we all walked away upset. It took a long time to get our drinks because "the paper got jammed in the machine". Yet, the couple that was seated after us got their food and drinks before us. When we finally got our food, it was cold. One friend ordered salmon and it was raw. She just opted to take it home and cook to her perfection. We didn't complain about the food or drinks because we were enjoying catching up with our friend. However, we did get upset when the server brought the checks. We were overcharged and the tip (20%) was automatically added. When asked about the tip, the server stated it is company protocol to add it. The actual company policy is to charge it for parties of six or more - we were a part of four. At this point we were starting to get upset but paid the check. When we asked for the manager, a server came over and stated he was the manager. Okay!? We expressed our concerns, particularly about the overcharging, and his response was "haha, she has been here for about a week. That was probably how it was done where she worked at before." My friends and I were perplexed at his response. He did not try to address our concerns or try to rectify the situation. Needless to say, we will never be back to Parthenon Grille.

Seen this Greek restaurant and figured my wife and I would give it a try. Not to mention I seen yelp was giving 7% back. Now growing up in Detroit and always going downtown to eat Greek in Greek town maybe I have acquired a better taste and respect for a Greek menu and cuisine. At first glance I was hopeful. The menu didn't seem very Greek it was missing a lot of good traditional Greek dishes like Moussaka, Courgette balls, Dolmades and Saganaki. However they do have seafood and steaks. I had the sea bass which wasn't perfect but it wasn't all bad either. I had mixed feelings as to whether I liked the sauce used. But none the less I finished it so not all that bad. The food had good presentation and service was good. The restaurant is clean and modern. My overall all review is that it's not a authentic Greek menu. It's extremely overpriced considering the menu and quality. Again I enjoy authentic Greek dishes and to me it's a steak and seafood restaurant with little to no traditGreek choices.

This place is never bad, but it's never been good enough for me to recommend to people. It just continues to be mediocre. We usually eat here once every couple of years. I really wish it was awesome but it's just ok... especially for the price.

The ONLY saving grace for Parthenon Grille was our waiter Mitchell. His quick wit, personality, and work ethic made our experience 5 stars. We were in Murfreesboro for a weekend archery tournament and needed a place to eat between events. Someone in our group chose Parthenon Grille. We got there around 4pm on a Saturday. There wasn't a crowd at all since it was early in the day. We were promptly seated and Mitchell attended to our drinks quickly. He even accommodated the kids and made some fresh chocolate milk. The kids didn't really like it but his ability to make something that wasn't offered was commendable. We ordered some apps. Calamari was gross, the French fries tasted like fried fish, and the "cheese sticks" had no flavor. I've been to Italy a few times, and things taste better there. The balsamic vinegar in oil for the bread looks horrible and didn't taste that good either. I'll stop. Mitchell did great but for a place that has a name like Parthenon, I expected better. Do better Parthenon Grille!!

Top of the line service and anything but chain feel or flavor. Original dishes served hot and freshly made. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and wonderful service Noah is a great server and very respectful will come back again

I've been to the Parthenon Grille many times (I'd say over 10 in the last few years) and I have always had a wonderful experience. The food is delicious. I've tried their steaks, oysters, the Greek dip plate, bacon wrapped scallops, salads and more- and I've never been disappointed! At Parthenon Grille, the attention to detail really comes through in the food & decor, and I love that they are a family owned business. The staff is always wonderful. One time, after another fabulous meal, our waiter brought us a complementary dessert and wrote "Happy Saturday" with a strawberry swirl on top, simply because we had mentioned to him we were having a fun & relaxing Saturday that day! The cocktails are always good. My go-to is a dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. Sabrina makes them perfectly. I have dined in their formal dining area and also had fun happy hours at their bar. They've got great specials! I'm a little shocked by anyone who gives this restaurant bad review. The only thing that makes sense is that maybe this food is a little too diverse or adventurous for the typical Murfreesboro palate... mainly consisting of deep fried drive thrus and fast food chains. I am a huge foodie and also on a local restaurant, so I like to think I know a good thing when I see it (or taste it!). I would definitely give this restaurant a shot if you're in the area!

Parthenon Grille has been here for years, but this was my first time trying it out. They have a great special on Wednesday's and Sunday's where you can get $6 appetizers. It's all day on Wednesday's but have to come after 3pm on Sundays to get the special. We ordered mostly apps which consisted of calamari, Rockerfeller oysters, bacon wrapped scallops, and fresh gulf oysters. We also ordered a gyro plate to share. Overall the food was pretty good. I really liked the gyro plate. The oysters were fresh and such a good deal. I though the calamari was okay and the rockerfeller oysters could have been seasoned a bit more, but all in all I would be happy to visit again for happy hour in the area.

Our waitress was wonderful, but that was the only positive about our experience. We ordered the Parthenon Dip as our appetizer and it honestly just tasted like marinara with a lot of cheese added. The fried pita was ok. For my entree, I ordered a New York Strip with Oil and Garlic Pasta. The steak honestly tasted like a pork chop. I had never tasted a steak that bad in my life. My mom tasted it as well and also agreed it tasted just like a park chop, not a steak. The Oil and Garlic pasta was just plain pasta- no garlic at all. The interior looks nice, but due to the food we will not be returning.

I love this restaurant. My wife and I have ate here several times. Most of the dishes we've had have been great. The few items that I did not care for were just not my taste. Not poorly prepared just different for me. We feel the menu changed a little. My wife ordered 3 mini chickens marinated in a Mediterranean type seasoning we've never seen on the menu before. And I got my usual Gyro Plate. We also order a Caprese Salad as a side dish. The food was very good. Lots of different items on their menu. But each visit we try at least one thing new. Looking forward to going back in the future.

We hade the Parthenon dip with pita for appetizer. Lamb chops with taziki sauce and chicken Corinthia as entrees. The lamb was tender and very flavorful. The side of garlic mashed potatoes was excellent. The chicken Corinthia was creamy goodness with spinach, artichoke, and asparagus artfully mixed in with a perfectly cooked pasta. Wonderful environment, with calm ambience. Christian was our very knowledgeable and enthusiastic waiter. He was able to recommend pairings for our meals. We did not feel rushed. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. We are looking forward to our next special night out and recommend Parthenon Grille for a beautiful meal.

Steak is ok, salad is good and service is a bit slow but it's clean, good atmosphere and better than chain steak houses.

Not bad, not good. We went on a Saturday evening and it was packed. We were originally sat in the bar area where other servers and patrons were banging into my husband's chair so I asked to be moved. We were sat in another section and it was fine. I order the stuffed bass special of the day and my husband got a steak. His steak was cooked to perfection but was not well seasoned. For the price that we paid we would have gone to a steak house. My food was good but I wasn't blown away. My server wasn't as attentive as the others in our section. I saw the manager going around to different tables asking how everyone's meal were but never came to our table. Ultimately we probably won't venture here again. From looking at the menu beforehand and seeing the options and prices we thought we were going somewhere a little more upscale and it just didn't hit the mark for us.

Absolutely the best atmosphere in Murfreesboro. The people the food the environment is all wonderful. I love the holiday season here when the decorations go up. A true family feeling in an elevated environment.

Oh Parthenon, I had high expectations here....the decor is very appealing, bathrooms are clean, as well as the restaurant itself. but............. I find that the food here is a little overpriced to come out at room temp. I didn't want to complain since I was with my MIL....although her prime rib was too rare for her liking. I had ordered the Mango Mahi with a loaded baked potato. As stated before food was not hot. My baked potato was cold...the butter didn't even melt. how sad. The mahi was disgusting....I only ate half...later on in the evening, WARNING: TMI!!! I threw everything up. Very rare....I can't remember the last time I threw up my dinner. What a waste of 20$ for the meal itself!!!! The only thing good here was the service, fried mushrooms, and complimentary bread. yum!

Always! This place has everything: excellent food, top notch service, and the perfect ambiance. I have been there a few times now and always totally enjoy it. Highly recommend to everyone!

This place is well past it's prime. This was our go to spot for years. We hadn't been in about 6 years, after moving away. We returned for dinner before a graduation, while in town with family, and will not return. Service was slow, even though they were slow at 4 pm on a Thursday. The food was equivalent to a TGI Fridays or Applebee's.

Food there was amazing. We had a large party for graduation and they were WONDERFUL. There were a lot of large parties and they did an amazing job with all of them. Yes, it took time, but we had a chance to visit with family that we had not seen in a while so it worked out well.

After living in and around Murfreesboro for 14 years, I finally ventured out to Parthenon Grill with some friends. The service was a little slow and disorganized, but the meal was pretty good. I don't know that I would be a regular customer, but a visit every now and then would be okay.

This place is the bomb, you walk in and it's nice it's clean everyone is friendly more importantly the food comes out piping hot and fresh, very surprised. I got the Gyro sandwich which is exactly what I've been looking for, hard to find a good quality Gyro around here. Definitely will return and recommend

Ok, let me first start out by saying it was Sunday after church and on Mother's Day so I understand the reason it was so busy. However, it took us 20 minutes to get our table after having a reservation and also took us well over an hour to get our food, which unfortunately was subpar. I ordered the steak and eggs and my steak was well done even after I ordered it cooked medium. The steak reminded me of something that would have been prepackaged and frozen. The eggs and home fries were very good and cooked with the appropriate amount of seasoning. Our server was kind and kept our drinks refilled, however he did not apologize nor recognize how long it took for our food. Overall, I do not think we will be returning here for brunch, but I would like to try dinner here in the future.

This was a nice find in Murfreesboro; 6 of us for Sunday brunch. It's a big restaurant, no real ambiance, but in these days, spaciousness is a huge plus. Our server, Marcus, had only been on the job a week, but he was very friendly, efficient, and eager to please. He was so earnest he almost wore us out, but you just couldn't help liking him, especially since he did his job well. The food was delicious and plentiful: Athena's flatbread, Honey jack burgers, Tuscan omelet, Belgian waffles, and lamb chopped steak. Very good wine by the glass. Everything reasonably priced. All in all, a pleasant surprise.

We were all craving steaks. Ordered 3 Bone-In Steaks, one cooked Medium... the other two for Medium Rare. When we got our steaks, they were all way undercooked.... raw. One of the steaks was still cold in the center, there's no way anyone would've eaten it that way. We did ask our server to take it them back to cook it a little more, but mine (the medium) was still very raw looking. Our appetizers were decent, The Rockefeller Oysters were savory. Sweet potato fries were crispy and yummy. Usually, Parthenon has delicious steaks... but we were not satisfied. :( Our server was friendly, the service was mediocre but at least he came to check on us several times.

We came for a date night. I asked my husband to see if they were open. They said yes. By the time I parked 2 mins later the guy ran outside and said they are already closed ????? How do you work all day and not no what time the restaurant closes and what time you get off. I really wanted to surprise him and we wanted the lamp chops. So we took out business elsewhere but disappointed because I've been eyeing this place for awhile now.

One of my favorite places to come to in Mboro. They have great deals for happy hour. The staff is very friendly. I love their food. On wednesdays, it's $6 apps. Happy hour is also a certain time so you get discounted alcoholic beverages. They have different deals on different days. I really like coming here when I crave raw oysters. Their crab cakes are pretty good, too. My husband loved their bacon wrapped scallops. I've came another night before and tried their ribeye and french fries. It was pretty good.

We ordered take out dinner online. The website and menu was easy to navigate. Our order was ready on time and the staff brought it out to our car. By the time we arrived home with our food it was still warm. We ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was 4 large pieces perfectly breaded on top of delicious pasta. The pasta was perfectly seasoned. The pasta could be a meal itself. Our order came with a large pan of salad which was easily enough for 5 folks. The salad ingredients were fresh and very tasty. We also ordered bacon wrapped scallops which were tender and so so tasty. The loaf of bread and dipping sauce was fantastically Greek. Next time we are ordering the Gyro sandwich or the lamb chop. Everything on the menu looks mouthwatering.

This place had an interesting twist on Greek food. While I was expecting a certain flavor I've had at other Greek restaurants, the food was still good. My husband had a steak with rice which he enjoyed. I had a dish that I wanted to call "gyro tacos" even though that's not what the menu called it. I will say I was disappointed with the hummus as it wasn't what I was expecting, but the overall atmosphere and experience was good. There are a lot of American style dishes for those of you who aren't feeling Greek food.
