Food is always fresh and delicious!! Wait staff are fantastic. Waiters Justin, Dillon and Jocelyn are exceptional!! It's definitely a go-to restaurant for us!! Always leave there happy and full and most of the time with leftovers!!

In short, Spartan is not what it used to be (I grew up eating and dinning at Spartan), if given Spartan as a choice again to dine at I would pass. Spartan, food in my families opinion, is not worth the money. Spectacular wait staff but flavorless food.Saturday, after a family day at the beach our group of seven were really looking forward to a delicious dinner to round out and end our long fun day. We phoned Spartan about 30min before we arrived to make sure they would be able to accommodate a party of seven. We arrived approximately 4pm and were pleasantly greeted by an energetic hostess. We were ushered to a large, awkward corner booth in the bar area. We should of asked for alternate seating however we didn't want to make a fuss. Two family members sat and ate on the square corner of the table and one family member sat half off the edge of the booth seat. Clearly the booth was not large enough to accommodate seven people comfortably. I wish the wait staff would have been more observant and recognized our space issue. We had two servers as a shift change was in the process. Both servers were excellent. One server started us off with drinks and taking our order then explaining that the second server would be taking over. The service was flawless and attentive without being annoying. However, each of our ordered food choices tasted less than impressive. Within our family group we had three people that have experience in the culinary field. ALL seven of us agreed that the food we ordered lacked flavor. There was an order of Real Chicken Parm, Fish and Cips platter, 2 Grilled Chicken wraps, Steak Euro, Chicken Nuggets and Fries and a Burger and Fries. Our orders all varied greatly so it's not like the lack of flavor was a fluke. We were all very disappointed in the food. We were all shocked that it was ALL the dishes ordered that lacked FLAVOR! I would go into detail and pick apart each meal however this review has become long winded. .

Terrific food as usually, but our waitress Denise with her great energy was definitely the highlight

Went with a group of friends late on a Monday night. There were not many places open and we had a great time. Our waiter Justin was awesome! The lamb gyro was tasty and filling. large portion on fries and my friend ordered eggplant parm and it was a generous portion. Justin recommended drinks to our group. I recommend the Limoncello Cooler with raspberry.

Best pizza in town!!! Place is clean. Friendly staff, casual and relaxed atmosphere. Perfect family restaurant! Give it a try and you won’t regret it! ?❤️

Love their waitstaff

We had a party of ten. We ordered for apps two different wings, mozzarella sticks and the calamari. All was good! For dinner we had the veggie pizza, meat lovers and cheese. Also a hit!

It took 15 minutes to get a soda and 45 minutes after ordering to receive our food. The bar tender was loud and obnoxious. The waiter forgot the lemon to go with my Pepsi, gave us blue cheese instead of ranch, forgot the French fries, then when they were brought out, they were soggy, flexible, and sopping with oil like squishing a sponge. The pizza was absolutely terrible- soaked with grease and doughy. Picked up one slice and the mushy dough folded in half and the oil- soaked cheese plopped into a soggy blob on the plate. The seafood platter was super fishy, nothing was fresh, and there was a puddle of oil on the bottom of the plate. I called for the manager.. Spartans restaurant manager is rude, arrogant, and disrespectful. We explained about our food and he said that’s just how it is, it’s Greek. It’s awful is what it was. I have come to Spartans several times over the last 12 years, and this is the first time I’ve had a terrible dining experience. It also will be my last. I’m never stepping foot in that place again. Nor will any of my family or friends, I am telling everyone how awful it was.

Food was very good, Danielle was our waitress. She was great, friendly and cheerful. Was a pleasurable experience.

Tough place to review. Place has a very loyal following here in Waterbury. For me and my wife, the food is good but not great. Portions are large. Sandwiches are always good, pizza is decent. (pizza is a very subjective food) I recently ordered prime rib Madagascar. The piece of meat filled my platter and was cooked at medium rare and was a very good tasting prime rib. The mashed potatoes were on the runny side and the mixed veggies looked and tasted like they came out of a can. Service was good. For us this is a good backup place for dinner close to home
