The food was great and my server Zima was fantastic, some of the best service i've had in the killeen area.... however, me and my wife ordered 2 pear blossom martinis took a while to come out and when we looked over at the bar the bartender was just on her phone seemingly doing nothing. Then when the bartender saw us looking at her she gave us the nastiest look ever. The owner was very pleasant. The food was very good i highly recommend the lamb shank!! read more

I could not decide on one of all the choices, so chose a sample platter. Everything was delicious! It was fresh and well seasoned. The atmosphere is cozy with table lamps and fresh flowers. Our server, Zima, was personable, enthusiastic and happy to explain all the dishes. This place a a gem for Harker Heights! read more

Acropolis - Greek sampler plate - Greek Near Me - Harker Heights, Texas

The food was absolutely amazing, and the owner was kind, checking in on all his customers. My lower rating is mainly due to the service. The server was friendly, but seemed overwhelmed trying to manage both the bar and the tables. I would have appreciated the other servers stepping in to support him instead of just walking by. They can do a better job supporting each other for a more attentive dining experience. read more

My second time to eat at this restaurant. Be sure and make reservations. The service is really good and the food is really fresh. They have several gluten-free dishes. This time I had steak soulvaki which was pretty good. Last time I had the red snapper which I really enjoyed. read more

OMG! This food was amazing. The ambience even better! Our waitress was the sweetest, go with the flow person. We had so much fun with her. She even took our picture for us at the end. I went with a group of friends on our lunch break. This is a great place for date night! The food is great and it's beautiful inside. They have gorgeous music playing the entire time but it's at just the right volume. I can't wait to go back with the hubby! read more

The service was great! Our server (Zima) was very friendly and prompt! We really enjoy eating here! The ambiance is nice and relaxing.

Both romantic & casual, Acropolis appeals to the eyes just as much as to the tastes. Presentation & service were immaculate (our waitress Zima was superb), leaving diners feeling at home or in the Mediterranean. Music was subtle & peaceful, not overbearing. Pita bread has an edge of garlic and is classily soft & fresh. They will even wrap it to-go in foil if you have any left over. Our starting soups were simply divine -- my lentil was so nice & warm & my partner's avgolemono shone as if it were the light. Let me hone in on the Lemon Caper Red Snapper. Thick & perfectly done, dressed with delectable sauce rightly dotted with sizable capers, this was probably the best fish dish I've had in a decade. Absolutely a premier entree of this establishment & the Harker Heights area. My party enjoyed the decent sized Kofta meat serving with a nice cinnamon-y red sauce & the roasted cauliflower was hearty as they come. There are some really nice GF (gluten-free) options on the elegant menu & the chef will even work with you if you have specific needs or requests. Speaking of chef, it's cool to be able to look into the kitchen window from the dining room to see the hard work going on for accountability & cleanliness. I'm a big fan of transparency & the love between chefs/cooks & diners because the energy is palpable in a positive way here that makes you appreciate the experience so much more. It's too bad I've neglected this gem in the area since I particularly love Greek food. I won't anymore. It's worth mentioning again how the waitresses/servers in the room were all professional & kind! Consider me sold & you will be too. read more

Lemon Caper Red Snapper with lentil soup & Greek salad was so amazing that I went back three times in two weeks. Ambiance was very nice with low lighting & staff was very attentive. Great place to dine alone or with friends. read more

The owner and staff were rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. We won't be coming back. Not the first time, we gave them another chance, but we still had the same rude and unprofessional experience. Never again... read more

We tried the sampler and everything was great! Service was amazing! The dining area and the restrooms were clean and nice.

Came here for dinner and left wanting more! We live in temple so rarely travel to harker heights, but our friends have been talking about a Greek restaurant here for months so decided to check it out! Externally it was unassuming restaurant, but inside it was nicely decorated and clean. Our waitress was attentive! I accidently dropped my fork and she replaced it immediately without being asked The four dip appetizer was amazing! The feta cheese really left an impression on us! It was cold so I got the beef stew, and it was a little watery for my taste, but overall amazing! We also got a traditional gyro wrap and absolutely loved it. We cannot wait to come back! read more

Marvelous ambiance! Funny and helpful waitress and great service. Potatoes and eggplant were at the top of 'my favorites' list, but lamb was divine and we fought over everything on the sampler platter. Will definitely return. :) read more

Acropolis - Bad Service Very disappointed with the Waitress and Management at Acropolis Restaurant. We had planned to celebrate a bday dinner with friends at their establishment. They refused to sit us all together, so we all had to sit at different tables far apart from each other, so we couldn't even celebrate properly. Mind you that the whole time, the waitress was very rude and condescending the way she spoke to us. Then they had the audacity to try and charge us 20% gratuity for having 5 or more in our party. We called the Manager over to resolve the issue, but he too was just as rude and condescending. We refused to pay 20% gratuity, as we were all separated by different tables far apart from each other, plus the rudeness from both the waitress and manager doesn't deserve a tip! We tip all the time, but these guys need to understand, service starts when u seat us, take our orders, and bring our food, but it doesn't stop there. You serve well, being attentive, and making the whole experience pleasant, that's what constitutes a tip. These people need to understand that tipping and gratuity is optional, gratuity is a sum of money given to someone for exceptional service as a token of appreciation or gratitude, hence the word, "Gratuity!" read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place! The interior is well-designed with mood lighting and live music at a good volume in the background so you can still enjoy your conversation. We were seated promptly and didn't have to wait. They don't have an updated drink menu which was a little bit of a disappointment, but the waitress helped me pick out a nice glass of wine. The four dips appetizer was tasty. For my entree, I had the traditional wrap with gyro meat and a side of rice. It was delicious! The serving was large and I couldn't finish it. Overall, a great experience and I hope to be back soon. read more

While the service could have been better, the rack of lamb was amazing and made up for it. This location is smaller than the one I've been to in Florida, but very nice decor and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. read more

I was skeptical on going to this restaurant since I'm not a big Greek food lover, but my wife was looking for something different so we decided to try it out. So glad we did!! My wife got the lamb chops and I got the lamb shanks and OMG!! Lamb shanks are now my favorite!! The lamb was absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to trying many other dishes. If things change, I'll modify this review but I highly doubt it will. The wait staff was very attentive and courteous read more

I experienced Greek cuisine for the first time, and what an amazing introduction! I had the Traditional Wrap with gyro meat and lentil soup--both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were incredible, and the soup was warm and comforting. The restaurant had a cozy, clean atmosphere with a friendly vibe. You could tell the staff enjoyed being there, and our server, Zima, was just as fantastic as the food--attentive and welcoming! Whether it's for date night or a casual afternoon, this place is perfect for food and wine. Everything looked so good, I started eating before I remembered to snap a picture--ha ha! Big thanks to Dez for the invite! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving delicious Greek food! read more

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing. The wait staff was poor and inattentive. The put a mandatory tip on my bill for 5 adults and a 3 yr. old. 3 of the 5 adults spent half the meal with empty drink glasses. No dessert course offered. Just absolutely poor service. read more

Wow, this place is awesome. Great atmosphere, the owner really took their time to make this place aesthetically pleasing. The food was amazing, I had the lasagna, which was cooked to perfection. Also pita bread and sauce which was delicious. Great place for a date night or a place to get some really good food. read more

I ordered a gyro plate to go and I was very disappointed to have my naan be the texture of a cracker. I usually eat inside but today I chose to take my food to go, I've never had issues with my food when I have eaten inside. The food is always delicious when you dine in, but when it's taken to go it's gross and old . Service dinning in is always awkward. The entire staff stands around and stares are you like they have nothing to do. read more

Acropolis - Meat looks and taste disgusting like it's old - Greek Near Me - Harker Heights, Texas

We are a group of ladies who come to eat every other month. Today we had our get together again at this location! We used to be pleased but since today many of us most likely will not return! I don't know what you are thinking but the portions you have now are absolutely 109% rude! The Gyro plate portions especially the meat is a absolute joke! I don't want to even know what a kids size looks like now! I could count my meat if it was five strips of gyros it sure wasn't more! We did hear that the staff got told to but less meat on the plates bit guess what the price didn't change! One of the ladies just had tzatziki and pita (four corners of pita ) and thatbnow cost a whopping $9 ! This needs to go back to where it was ! read more

I came for a late lunch and I can't wait to go back! This was the best Greek food I've ever had, and I say this as someone who has lived in culinary Meccas like Miami, Fl and Los Angeles, CA. Most of the time when I read a menu, I find just a handful of things that I would want to order, but at Acropolis I found myself wanting to try everything on the menu. I'm definitely going to be coming back regularly to give each item a try. For this time, my husband and I ordered the baked feta, he got the gyro plate, and I had the mussels. Our server was kind enough to offer to prepare the first two servings of the baked feta for us, demonstrating the intended way of enjoying the plate. This added so much to our experience. The gyro plate came with a fresh tzatziki sauce that tasted like it was made from scratch that morning. The gyro was succulent, and the stuffed grape leaves my husband got as a side were the best we'd had anywhere. The roasted potatoes as his other side were crispy and spiced with garlic. My baked mussels were in a perfect garlic-forward, tomato sauce, which we enjoyed with the potatoes. Our server was kind enough to offer some fresh mint leaves, straight from her home garden, for my tea. We spotted the owner when we entered, ensuring that we received prompt service. The decor was pleasant, and it was an overall warm and comforting experience on a such a frigid day. read more

We stopped in for dinner one night & was pleasantly surprised how romantic the inside was! We were expecting it to be more of a fast-food kind of place, I guess. The wine selection was extensive, so I asked the waiter for his recommendation for a red wine. He brought us a cab & a Malbec, which were both amazing! We learned that they're actually made by the owner himself, which was pretty cool. We ordered the flaming saganaki, which is imported Greek cheese lightly grilled & flamed table side with brandy. It tasted SO good & it reminded me of a grilled cheese sandwich. The presentation with the fire was pretty cool to watch, just wish it came with a little more veggies. Then we ordered the eggplant rollatini which was also delicious. It was definitely a hearty dish & the flavors were spot on. I don't know how my husband ate it all because it was so filling! I was boring & just got a Greek salad, but it was equally yummy & was good sized. We later learned that almost all of the meals could be made vegan by switching out the meat for falafel, so we will definitely be going back to try more items on the menu! read more

Yelp 2008-2022; still going strong and wanted to feature a local spot in Central Texas for my 1000th review. If you're a regular follower I just pushed Paula Deen and butter galore into the 999 slot. So, my hungry friends welcome to Acropolis in Harker Heights, Texas. We've been exploring the Killeen/HH/Temple/Belton food scene recently as one of our favorite car club couples lives in the area. Not exactly my turf but we're discovering this area has an uncanny amount of restaurant diversity. Houston being a similar destination where you can get just about any global cuisine you desire. Around Austin the Greek scene is hit or miss so it was time to find some flaming Kasseri and then order half the menu. I had forgotten how much I love this dish. Dump some high proof alcohol (usually a Greek Brandy or Ouzo) on it and light it up! Once the flames settle you're left with a delicate treat. Buddy always orders Calamari so that's the next dish that hit the table. Nice bites but I wished it was paired with a different sauce. Normally a delicate Aioli or even Marinara. I love Tzatziki but it doesn't have to come with 3/4 of the appetizers. Next up Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves) which had a lovely filling and texture. Bring on the traditional Gyro for me! I love this dish, but don't really do lamb in other forms. The spit fired mixture of beef and lamb together tames the traditional gaminess of the meat. Paired with simple crispy potatoes it was a fine version and something I don't get to have very often. GF has been working on her roughage intake and the Greek Salad fit that bill nicely. I did steal an olive for good measure; miss eating those too. Buddy Mike had the full on taste of everything including two types of Spanakopita, Steak Souvlaki, Kofta, Gyro meat, Tiropita, and buttered rice. Here's an OPA! to 1000 and yall check this place out! read more

If you are looking for authentic Greek food in CenTex, this is a must stop. Greek "grill tellers" were one of our go to spots in Germany when we wanted a change from schnitzel. This place had a large and varied menu, and it all comes out tasting like your grandmother is back in the kitchen cooking for your homecoming. We left stuffed to the gills with good food. The owner/manager stopped by shortly after we got our meals served, wanted to check if we were happy with our food - one of those clap-you-on-the-back, "how you folks doing?" checks. Very sincere and friendly. Servers were excellent as well, bonus, our server sang happy birthday at another table, and it was the Broadway professional version (which he was before). No pictures, we were too busy shoveling food in...... read more

I am absolutely appalled by the service I received here. I placed a pickup order with an estimated ready time that ended up being an hour too early. An hour! I arrived 5 minutes after my original time and was told 10 more minutes. "10 more minutes" happened three times in a row. Then it was "they're boxing it up now" for another 25 minutes. It's completely unacceptable to keep a customer waiting that long without any form of communication or apology from a manager or owner. To make matters worse, when I finally received my order, it didn't include everything. A Greek restaurant somehow managed to forget the pita after an hour overdue. Also, the quality was not the same. I had a previous experience that was highlighted with great food. Tonight was different. You can tell it was rushed and not to the same standard. It's clear that this establishment has absolutely no regard for its pick up customers. It's a shame because I know the food is usually good and the restaurant was fairly busy. However, I will not return to this place and I strongly advise others to avoid calling in an order. This is a prime example of how not to run call in orders. Just eliminate the option if you can't swing it- be transparent with those using apps or call in. read more
