Let's be honest here, it was grosse. Poor quality. Poor everything. I've had Greek food from xeni that's better. I couldn't bring myself to go back. After the awful appetizer and funky salad, I changed my order to marinara pasta because I was scared to get anything else...mushy. Chipped plates. I can look past old decor if the food is good absolutely, but no. Service was just ok. My bf kept apologizing for suggesting it from online reviews.

Poor Excuse formGreek Food – I had been a regular customer of Nikos until the owner retired and closed the restaurant. I know what good Greek food should be. My wife and I went to Spartacus last nitht and as soon as we were seated in the drab, poorly decorated facility, we both felt like we were in an episode of restaurant impossible. The food was terrible, spinach pie, angel hair pasta with chicken, greek salad. While we were there, a waitress came out of the kitchen with a plate of the worst smelling seafood I have ever sm... read more

Disappointed in service and poor manors of manager – I Love the food but hated the evening. We have been going to this restaurant for years and this was obliviously not the night for it. There were five adults, three children around two years old each and a baby. I was holding the baby when the waitress took the drink orders so I wasn’t paying full attention to her. So when she didn’t check with me on it I figured my fault but when she brought the others their drinks and didn’t check with me then I though well that is kind o... read more

NEW RACIST MANAGER RUINS WIFE BIRTHDAY LUNCH – I have lived in Durham for almost 40 years and have been visiting Spartacus Restaurant since I was 18 years old. Today is my wife's birthday and she called Spartacus and asked if she could use her birthday dinner coupon at lunch. It was for 15 dollars off. When we were done eating the new racist manager told my wife that she was the only one answering the phone and implied that my wife was lying and informed us that she could only discount 1/2 off her lunch. We were lied to and ... read more

I joined citysearch to rate this restaurant a 1 – None of the staff seemed invested in really providing a good experience for the customer. They were nice enough, but the food took forever to come out and they brought the wrong food to the table. When they returned with the right dish, it was burnt. They are running at $10 dinner menu on their website, which they were not going to honor "because they weren't running that special anymore." You can't do that. Somebody in our party eventually argued with them enough that they h... read more

Not to shabby – So first let me qualify my experience at Spartacus. On Valentine's day I made reservations there at 5 pm ath 7pm, because I had dropped the all, but atleast I was able to make the reservation. First the outside apperance isn't all that great, but if there was some nice landscaping it would look a lot better. The inside decor is nothing special, but I certainly wouldn't complain about it. Now before I went i previewed the menu online, but because of the holiday they had a limited menu. We got the fried calamar... read more

Good restaurant! – We just tried Spartacus for the first time and very much enjoyed it. We are new to the area (moved from LA, which is one of the best cities for great food), and this is the third mediterranean restaurant we tried in the triangle. Spartacus is not the most hip restaurant with trendy decor. It even looks kind of dumpy from outside. Therefore, if you are the type of person who likes flashy new looking things, this would not be a right place. However, it has its own characteristics, and they serve very good *c... read more

A Great Restaurant – My experience at Spartacus is during the day and it is a great place to enjoy great Greek food. The buffet, available everyday, offers a real variety of traditional Greek food including Greek Salads, Falafel, Olives, Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, chicken parmesian, spinach spanakopita, tzadziki, and a bunch of great tasting stuff that I have no idea what it is called. The bottom line is the buffet is a GREAT deal, I think I usually get out for $10 or so and I always get way more than my money's worth. Bu... read more
