Spartan II: Reviews & Ratings
For all my pickle lovers..they have the best pickles. And if you haven’t put them on their buffalo chicken pizza you are seriously missing out. Also the espresso martinis 12 out of 10!
My favorite place! My family and I come here on the weekends, and it's always a cheerful environment with good food. The owner, Jimmy, is always attentive and makes us feel at home!
If you are in the mood for a pasta dish and need a little something different from red sauce, please try the broccoli and roasted garlic with olive oil over angel hair pasta, I’ve had that dish around the world and THIS is the best anywhere!!!
We reserved for about 20 high school girls and three adults for my daughter’s birthday. The pizza was delicious and the service was outstanding. Our waitress Armella was above-and-beyond sweet, accommodating, and so good natured! She even put candles on our cake, sang with us, cut it, and passed it out. She kept checking on us to make sure everything was great...It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Spartans for a birthday or even just a fun night out for great food and an upbeat environment. Thank you Armella and Spartans!
Was not the friendliest of sever. Her smile was not warm. She appeared more friendly to her other guess if you know what I mean. Other than that, the chicken parm & Margarita was amazing. Will order Togo next time
Outside is not a match to everything within must be experienced. Food is fantastic. Service is great.
Excellent all the way around. Was seated fairly quickly. Ordered Lasagna with clam chowder. Waiter brought warm fresh bread out that was really good. Then I got the clam chowder. Oh my gosh it was so delicious. Tried to compliment the waiter on how good it was and he said “I know, it always is”. Uhm, okay. Then the Lasagna came out and it was smothered in cheese and was excellent. I couldn’t quite eat it all no matter how bad I wanted to. So, the food I ordered was excellent. The service...I wouldn’t call it necessarily customer friendly. But perhaps that’s the way the owner wants it. Reading through all the bad reviews, I’d say expect and attitude and stay away from the grinders, but what I had was so amazing I still gave them 5 stars.
A friend of mine and I decided we wanted to get soup and appetizers. I absolutely love their French Onion soup. We also ordered the Eggplant Rollatini and Potato Skins. They were all so delicious. There was so much cheese!! I love it. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
