Pasta Lemonato was basically buttered noodles with NO flavor and dry, overcooked chicken. Ordered French Fries and got a handful of shoestring fries - which was an option on the menu that we didn't choose...Chicken Gyro Sandwich also had weird rubbery overcooked chicken... super disappointed with the quality of this place recently. Used to order from here once a week. :(

Big Tommy's Parthenon is our go-to choice for carry-out or delivery. When we dine in, the service is friendly and efficient. We have been going there for years because the food is so good.
Peronally,I particularly enjoy their lima beans. Perhaps it may be odd to emphasize a side dish -- but this is so much more than simple lima beans. I can list three reasons. First, they aren huge -- quite literally the largest i have ever seen (and I travel the world over). Second, Big Tommy's Parthenon prepares them in a secret way (we asked) that has each bean nearly bursting with broth or some other liquid so that each bean bursts in your mouth. Finally, the portion size is substantial for a side (for the record here, though, I usually order Lima beans there for both of my side dishes).
The menu is much more than Lima beans though! The Lamb is moist and falls off the bone. We have a member of the family who must eat gluten free and dairy-free. Her go-to order (saved in our Door Dash account ) is Chicken Filet -- which i tastier than the name suggests.
The House Salad with chicken and the Big Tommy's creamy house dressing comes in a half-order and a full-order. The half is big enough for the entire meal of one person (and more). The full-order must be enormous (we've never ordered it). In short, portion size is substantial.
As for dessert, both the Carrot Cake and Baclava are worth the calories for a splurge.

I had not tried this place in a while. Disappointment with a previous experience turned me off. Was craving homestyle food and took a gamble. Hit the jackpot. LOVE the green beans. I know it's weird to emphasize that, but I adore the Greek style green beans and they do it right. Chicken Lemonato was generous and tasty. Rice was perfectly cooked and had a sauce that complemented the veg. You would think that would be a given, but many restaurants don't nail this simple ingredient. This meal really hit the spot.

Bought extra protein, good portion, very good. Rice was good, came with a little sauce but it was not soggy. Tzatziki needs more cucumber and dill. Pita bread was good. But didn't come with utensils.
