We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The lamb was simply exceptional. I can’t wait to return.

I used to frequently drive past Big Tommy's Parthenon, until my wife and I wanted a place we'd never been to before. For years, we were missing out! Big Tommy's menu is not only extensive, but the Greek cuisine is top notch (specifically the lamb dishes)!! I always ask for the waiter named Ceasar. He's very knowledgeable and helpful if you're not quite sure what to order. The decor is very nice and welcoming, and they have live comedy shows down in the lower level!!! Folks don't miss out for years like I did before I finally went there, treat yourself......

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10 out of 5 stars if that were possible!) It’s been years since our last visit to Big Tommy’s and I’m mad at myself for waiting so long to come back. This place is a gem. Our server, Non-Greek Nick (though he could easily pass as Greek any day of the week), was nothing short of phenomenal. Polite, attentive, quick with a smile, and completely unfazed by special requests. Zeus himself would’ve welcomed Nick into Olympus after this service. The food? Out of this world. Hot, fresh, and absolutely bursting with flavor. And the dessert… that baklava gelato must have been crafted by Dionysus himself. I ordered the Macaronada (Greek pasta with burnt butter and Mizithra cheese) but asked if lamb could be added. Without hesitation, Nick checked with the owner and came back with the most refreshing answer: “He’d be happy to add that, would you like one or two lamb shoulders?” That’s not just service, that’s hospitality at its finest. The lamb shoulder was enormous (double the size of what my photo shows, I couldn’t resist diving in before snapping a picture). And the pairing? Divine. The atmosphere is upscale, spotless, and welcoming. It’s the kind of place you can bring family, linger over your meal, and actually feel like you’ve been welcomed into the family. Tommy - do us all a favor and just make it official. Add the lamb shoulder option to the Macaronada and call it “The Scotticus.”

So glad I found big Tommy's Parthenon! I'm from Chicago where we have a lot of Greek restaurant options, I had the taste for a really good Greek salad and the restaurant ratings looked good. Opted for the original big Tommy Parthenon salad and asked the waiter for grilled octopus on it (usually cold octopus) OMG amazing. One of the best salads I've had in a long time! And Tommy's creamy Greek dressing is so delicious. Already saved this in my Google maps and will definitely be back to try some other delicious Greek dishes!

I was there to celebrate a birthday. There were 15 of us in the party. Our table was ready to go when we got there, the waiter (Aaron?) was really nice, funny, and friendly! The service was pretty quick for the time of day we went and how busy it got. Food is delicious! Drinks upstairs in the restaurant were really good, but the ones down in the Comedy Club weren't nearly as good, in my opinion. Food prices are definitely on the higher end, with a main course, an additional side, 2 drinks, and a dessert, I paid close to $75. The Comedy Show was quite funny! They had three comedians; two warm-ups and the headliner. All three were enjoyable to watch, but I liked the headliner best. Overall, it was a really good place, and several of us have already talked about going back.

The food here is absolutely amazing. I'm a vegetarian and was pleasantly surprised to find a dedicated section of the menu. Had the trio and couldn't believe how delicious everything was. I could eat here multiple times a week.

We have been newly exploring Novi restaurants, and just noticed Big Tommy's Parthenon as we were heading to a different Novi restaurant. We made a U Turn to come back to try this restaurant and are so happy that we did. As we walked in we were asked if we we're having the Sunday brunch buffet or ordering from the menu. We told the hostess that this was the first time there, so we didn't knew. We were seated with tabla served brunch and dinner menus. Before we even had time to look at the menus, our server, Renee was at our table, knowing this was our first visit, and to explain all pf our dining options. First she described the $24!Sunday brunch buffet and it's very plentiful list of offerings. It sounded very good, and well worth the cozt because of the large variety of options covering fresh fruits, many breakfast offerings including cooked to order omelets and a mice number of hot entrees. Then she went through the other menus explaining the huge number pf options and her recommendations, and in particular the lamb and other Greek specialties once she found out we were lovers of Greek foods. We ended up ordering Fried Artichokes with Skordalia as our appetizer. This was followed by both my wife and I ordering the Combo, which included the wonderful braised Greek lamb dish in tomato sauce, which was fork tender, a stuffed meat grape leaf, pastitsio, mousaka, rice and green beans. Everything on the menu was house made (except french fries.). Every bite of our food, from the appetizer to our entrees, was exquisite. This is the best Greek food we have ever had in Metro Detroit, even surpassing the restaurants in Detroit's Greektown. This will be a restaurant that we will frequent regularly. Before leaving, we ordered carryout of a quart of Avgolemeno (Chicken Lemon Rice soup), and two pieces of the Parthenon Cake made with pineapples. Our wonderful server Renee, who has worked there for 15 years, wanted to know if we wanted to try the soup before ordering it and we declined saying we were positive it would be great after having our other dishes. She brought a small sample of it to our table, followed by a taste of the Parthenon Cake. Before leaving, she also brought a full order of rice pudding, courtesy of the owners for first time customers. We were so happy having Renee as our server for her friendliness, providing so much information about the menu and the restaurant and owner's history over the years, and making our dining experience feel like we were part of a family dinner gathering.

Big Tommy's Parthenon in Novi is a definite winner!! The place was immaculately clean inside and out and the staff was full of smiles, very helpful and definitely made you feel welcomed 👍 The food was definitely on point and you could tell the cooks absolutely had pride in what they were sending out 👌 Huge thanks to putting big smiles on Mom's face and making her belly feel good! We will absolutely be going back again in the future!

Delicious dinner & helpful friendly service, I'm sure we'll be back. Everything was tasty, enjoyed the flaming cheese & baclava, was craving a Morrice salad & while it wasn't completely traditional it hit the spot, having it chopped was a great improvement :)

Delicious food, great staff! Clean, and comfortable. I went with the Greek Trio- which was fantastic. My wife had the combination, and the stuffed grape leaves are especially good. Will be back for the baked Sea Bass! 👍

Still as wonderful as it was pre-pandemic! Carry-out is quick and accurate; Courtney is the absolute sweetest person and she is wonderful to check-out with! Portions sizes are perfect and so much flavor! Pictured is carry-out of "lunch" gyro and appetizer spinich pies - our family go-to!

Been here 4 or 5 times now and every time it's been phenomenal. The service, the food and people. They've accommodated our parties of 6-12 multiple times and did an amazing job. My family always gets saganaki, skordalia and sausage for our appetizers. Our go to entree is always lamb and rice, but also the pasta dishes are incredible! Love it here!!

Absolutely the best Greek food. Better than Greece. Huge portions. Knowledgeable servers and spotlessly clean. So worth every trip. Seek and Enjoy.

Delicious! Best lamb I've ever eaten. We got the sample plate and a dinner order of Lamb, it was plenty for two hungry eaters. Gotta love the fresh, warm bread to go with it too!

GREAT place! extremely personable, always great food. Used them to cater a small party and could not have been happier with the way the owner worked with me for the size of my party, budget, and preferences!

Met my buddy for lunch. He’s been here dozens of times. My 1st visit. The waitress asked my buddy if he wanted the stuffed chicken and said that they had 2 portions left. She said you won’t regret ordering it. It was delicious! Definitely worth the drive for me. I’ll be back soon 😊

I called last minute to get a reservation for 11 people on a Saturday night. They were very busy that night, but still found a way to accommodate our party. The food was outstanding! Every dish was delicious! Even with how busy they were, the service was still timely. Our waitress was delightful and very helpful with food recommendations. If you want a wonderful Greek meal, this is the place for you!

I'm happy to see the comedy club has so many upcoming shows. I believe they've gotten rid of the dinner and a show deal since the last time I was there which is a bummer because the food was good.

5 stars all around. They never fail to impress. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. The food is thoughtfully prepared, flavorful and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do and it shows on the plate. What really sets this place apart is the bar. The bartenders Brittney and Michelle are not only skilled and knowledgeable but some of the kindest and most professional people you'll meet. Whether your trying a classic cocktail or something new, they're happy to help and always make you feel like a regular. Great food, great service and a warm welcoming atmosphere. What more can you ask for? Thank you for always putting a smile on my face.

Was looking for something for dinner and stumbled upon big Tommy's. We chose it because there were so many options on the menu that looked delicious. Went with the flaming fried cheese, roasted lamb, lamb sliders and chicken meatballs. For dessert, we had the Greek custard in phyllo dough. Absolutely blown away without good everything was. Lamb was out of this world and the dessert was spectacular. Couldn't recommend it more and definitely going to go there again next time I'm in town.

Our first time with at this establishment has been absolutely fantastic. Soon as we walk through the door, we’re greeted with a warm welcome. The service from the staff was prompt. We were never kept waiting for anything and our items were cleaned off immediately. The menu is endless and we’re at a great price point for the authenticity and quality. I’d recommend this to anyone who will listen!

BEST BUFFET! You can’t find too many good brunch buffets around anymore. Big Tommy’s is excellent! Not only is there a great selection of breakfast and lunch selections, including pasta, but everything is delicious. As a former food professional, I’m always happy to see that foods are properly displayed and kept at the proper hot and cold temperatures for food safety. They clearly know their stuff. At the omelette station (my favorite), the eggs are kept on ice as they should be. 1,000 extra points right there. I highly recommend!

Always delicious. Love there shrimp ceaser salad. Always tastes fresh and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. Highly recommend going for a late lunch early dinner not sure why they are not more packed. Everyone is nice, welcoming, and the service is great and attentive.

Have ordered their food from Door Dash, & it was great!! But dining there is not to be missed!! We went for New Years Eve. We had a Reservation. Of course they were packed, but I was amazed at how smoothly things moved! We were seated immediately, and given water. Our Server greeted us in mere minutes. Of course we started with Saganaki, which set the mood for the evening! My son ordered the grilled Lamb Chops & I ordered the Greek Trio. The entire meal was off the hook DELICIOUS! And it was hands down, one of my top 5 Dining Experiences! I got some Baklava to go. It was perfection! I fully intend to return to work my way through their fahbulous Menu!! Yamas! Opa!😋😘✨️🫶

This is the best Greek food In Michigan period!!! It’s the little things that make this place stand out. First they have the freshest beets, tomatos and feta cheese. Second they have the best creamy Greek dressing under the sun. I’ve never had better Greek dressing than this. Finally their pasta lemonato and chicken kebobs are unrivaled. Hats off to Big Tommy’s

Brought the family to enjoy the Thanksgiving buffet today. The food was delicious and there were plenty of choices to cover each guest with their unique dietary restrictions. My only complaint was that when we received the bill my son noticed about a 22% gratuity added to the bill. There were only four of us. I almost tipped 52% not seeing that charge already added. I believe it should have been clearly posted or we should have been notified before or when receiving the bill. I also realized after leaving that my child was billed as an adult. While those two things are disappointing, the food is very high quality. It would be wonderful if they offered this buffet again at Christmas time.

Such a great place to enjoy a great meal! The menu has so much to offer, and the food has always been fresh and amazing. The service and the staff are great. Thank you and keep up the great work!

I went in for dinner and I thought it was excellent food. I started with the saganaki flaming cheese and then I had the boneless chicken breast entree that comes with 2 chicken breasts, rice, and green beans, all of which tasted amazingly flavorful. I also ordered a side dish of the lemon potatoes and they were really delicious.

Hands down this place is a must. My husband and I went on Sunday. The food is Delicious!!! Vagelis was extremely kind and took time to go over the menu with us. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service was top notch.

Great place to come for a great meal well, you know you’ll end up paying more but the food is definitely worth it and the atmosphere is comforting. I got the lamb chops and I really did enjoy it. Could’ve been a little better but still great! Would definitely recommend coming for a nice outing.

Great food and good portion sizes at a reasonable price. Our waitress was also one of the best I've ever had - attentive, professional and personable. Restaurant acoustics were not great, however. It was somewhat difficult to hear those in your party. (Perhaps reduce the volume of the music?) Also, all three of our menus were perhaps the filthiest I've ever seen. I highly recommend getting new ones as I'm not sure the current ones are salvageable.

If you’re in the mood for some classic Greek cuisine, give Big Tommy’s a try! Whether you’re looking for some lamb chops, lamb shank, moussaka, spinach pie or just a Gyro. This location delivers the goods day in and day out. Some of my personal favorites are the Big T’s Original Parthenon salad and the lamb shank. But everything here is tasty, and I can highly recommend it.

Steve Platis

The food was very good! I normally leave 3 stars as normal. However, this place was above that. We got grilled octopus as an appetizer. It was very good! For the main course we split the combo, (mousaka, pastitio, braised lamb, grape leave, rice and peas). We also got a spinach pie. Everything was fresh and tasty! The food here is as good as any in Greektown. And rivals much of the homemade greek cooking i've had, as i am from greek heritage. Service was very attentive. I would have given this place 5 stars if the greek bread was not somewhat stale. My wife and I both enjoyed our meal, and we will definitely be back.

9/24 Meal was very good- Roasted lamb special- roasted perfectly and fell right off the bone. Melted in my mouth. The lemon potatoes were blah. I didn’t taste any lemon. The green beans were fantastic. Husband’s chicken Lemonata was as good as the last time he got it- SERVICE was very lacking- our waiter sat us on the left-hand side. It was a very slow period of time. There was only two other couples- 4:30 -Sat us in the corner booth by the hostess area and once he took our order; disappeared and didn’t return until I had to flag him down to get a refill of water-by that time we were done with our meal. He then returned with bill in hand and asked if we wanted any dessert.-well, if you’ve already came with the bill, I guess we won’t- ———————————————————————————————————- 8/24 Not too busy when we arrived on a Sunday at dinner time- on the far right, there was a rather large party so we were seated to the left-plenty of open tables on the left side. The hostess was very nice and friendly. The food was delicious. Cooked to perfection. I ordered the Greek lasagna starts with a “p”- w/ green beans- very good. Love the red sauce on the pasta dish and those green beans are in the most delicious sauce as well. My husband ordered the Chicken lemonata (sp?) came with two sides. Both were very good. Meal came with fresh Greek bread. We also ordered the traditional calamari. The Calamari has a light breading and although tasty I really didn’t get much of a flavor of the squid- it almost seems so like I couldn’t taste it-I prefer a bit thicker slices of squid Service was very good. Very attentive. Friendly- boxed my leftovers, cleaned our table, refilled our water… an older gentleman who w/ a bit of humor- We definitely will be back as there were many other options we want to try- $55 meal (inc. tip) We didn’t go home hungry😁

My server was very nice, but didn’t really check on me and do all of the things a server is supposed to do. I would like to come back sometime to treat myself to one of the more pricier meals, like lamb shank.

Mom and I went to big Tommy’s for a quick lunch. She had a Greek salad and I had a Gyro sandwich. The food was good. Service was good. Everyone was nice. Definitely would come back again, probably need to bring my wife here for dinner. I normally rate three stars as average five stars as exceptional.

Delicious food. Ate downstairs for a comedy show. Service was sub par. Had to ask for everything-never offered/asked if we needed anything. Drunk lady in the audience during comedy show. Yelling, rude, obnoxious. Three of the four comics talked negatively about her, yet she was never spoken to nor removed. Ruined the show for those around her.

Ben Dronfield (Dronners)

Food tasted as expected but it did seem like it was either reheated or kept warm for too long. The fact that they have taramasalata makes up for the bar type atmosphere. Love that stuff with some warm pita.

Good ambience and food presentation. good portions . However, was disappointed with the quality. Chicken and lamb was hard and veggies a bit sandy. Pita and Hummus was great and service was too good. Generous staff and a place so vibrant otherwise . Quite likely, visited on a wrong day ! Would like to comment on Baklava as well. Seemed not so fresh and too sweet as compared to other places I ate so far.. sorry to be saying that, but wanted to give genuine feedback.

My family and I visited this Greek restaurant after a full day of flying, and the food itself was fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed. But the end of the meal was a mess. We were only told after dinner that the restaurant doesn’t split checks or allow individual payments. With several different family groups at our table, this created a level of chaos that easily could’ve been avoided with upfront communication. We ended up sitting there for over 20 minutes trying to figure out how only three people could somehow cover a bill of more than $400. One family member had to leave to go to the bank, and another had to put a large portion of the table’s bill on their credit card just so we could get out of there. The food was great, but the checkout situation was extremely stressful. Simply stating the “no split checks” policy before seating guests would save a lot of frustration for large parties like ours.

My husband and I expected to have a nice dinner for Valentines Day. They offered a dinner for two special.. We waited for 2 hours for the food to come out only to be burnt and dry. We spoke with the manager, and it didn't seam to bother her when we complained. I post a picture of the food I received. We spent $80.00 for something that wasn't fit to eat. I ask for a box to take home to my dog. Then, I decided to share my experiences. The way it looks in the box is the way it came to our table on the plate. This is supposed to be a bone in Filet Mignon. I just read your response to my complaint. We absolutely waited two hours. I really wish I could have gotten the couple with the two kids that was there before us. Who had an even longer wait. The probably didn't complain because like us the will Never return to your restaurant. Not everyone write reviews, they just stop coming. Instead of calling me a liar, you should have apologized and left it at that. I have no reason to lie. So I will post your response along with the picture I sent you, on Facebook and Instagram.
