Wanted a good breakfast before leaving the area. Akropolis Restaurant fit the bill. The pancakes were fluffy and big. My daughter loved them. The steak & eggs were good portions and we appreciated being able to substitute sweet potato fries instead of hash browns. Typical diner type setting. Small bathrooms but functional. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking. They DO take cash or credit cards! read more

Had a privilege to sit down and eat this evening had their prime rib special definitely want to get it rare, but it was amazing. Everything was cooked perfect and great service will definitely be going back before we leave. read more

I was underwhelmed with my experience here. For diner food the prices were fair but the quality could be better. The service was wonderful. Everyone encountered was pleasant and helpful. The decor is a bit outdated and could use an upgrade. I ordered a burger and fries. The burger was incredibly thin and the fries tasted like bagged frozen fries. Nothing to rave about. I would like to give this place another try and order something different; as it's very close to home. read more

The food was terrible and overpriced the service was just as bad. It's overpriced. I will never eat there again. The scallops where like rubber and the medeterian wrap was all spinach and some leftover dry chicken. My mother and I barely ate anything. read more

Great little family-run place. Loved the pace and the service. Menu was unique and from what we ordered, very tasty

Try the Haddock and the tarter sauce it's delicious! The service was amazing and the cooks super fast. read more

Akropolis Family Restaurant - Fried Haddock - Diners Near Me - Palmyra, New York

My family decided to go to this restaurant the other day for a quick meal. When we arrived we got clam chowder and the waiter informed us after it was served that she usually tells people not to get it since it is awful. She was correct, it was basically flour, water, and potatoes. Unfortunately this is the only food item we received since our waiter forgot to give our order to the kitchen. We had waited an hour and never received anything expect drinks and the chowder so we left. We were very hangry so this made us even more upset that we never were able to eat. I do not think I will ever eat here again or recommend this place unless there are major changes. read more

Ordered fried pickles. They were burnt, so the kitchen remade them. They didn't taste any better. Way too much pepper and had a weird (not in a good way) sweet taste. The ranch dipping sauce didn't taste like ranch, so not sure what it was. The macaroni salad was tasteless; adding salt didn't do much. My husband got the Greek salad with gyro meat. The dressing had way too much vinegar in it. The peppers were too acidic and much spicier than you'd expect. He normally eats them, but one bite and he wouldn't go near it again. The pita bread was good. I got the chicken Slovakia. The tzatziki sauce was good. The chicken was way overcooked; it was close to being jerky. The potato's were good as long as they had the yellow stuff on it. The ones that didn't were pretty tasteless. The rice had way too much of whatever spice was in it. I couldn't eat it. And there were 2-3 cups of cooked rice and 2 cups of the diced potatoes. It was just too much food. With everything my plate came with, you're talking roughly 7-8 cups of food total. I guess you could say it's good value, but overall, it was a terrible meal and I left most of it there. I'm glad it wasn't very expensive. Our waitress was nice and attentive and I didn't have to ask for refills on my water. All of them seem to know the regulars well. It's a hole in the wall place that could use some renovation. As a tourist who's been here twice and will likely come again, I'll be avoiding it the next time I come. read more

Great cheesesteak and good service. Overall good experience. We would go back here just about anytime.

We thought a burger sounded good, though we weren't quite sure what to expect with the name of the restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh. Hot. Delicious. Yummy fries. Best burger I've had in a while. Delicious side salad, fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce. Bacon on the burger cooked to perfection! Quick service. Great prices and good sized portions. Cute little mom and pop place. read more

Based on the reviews, you might not want to go to this place. But it was near where we docked the boat, we were traveling along the Erie Canal. We walked into town and found the Akropolis family restaurant. From the exterior, you could see that it's really well taken care of. Beautiful flowers, all over the entryway of the brick building. There were a couple of little tables outside for people who want to sit outside. We chose to sit outside with our puppy, and the waitress, Jill, was absolutely amazing. my omelette was perfect. The hashbrowns were delicious and the only thing I could say they need to work on is their coffee. Very very watery and weak. But it's not going to take away from their five star review. Definitely try this place read more

Excellent food, every time. Turkey dinner is sooo good! Service has always been very good. Super nice wait staff, and talented chef.

The Akropolis has become our home away from home on Fridays in particular for Seafood, but also on other nights when I prefer not to prepare something at home. The owner and his Staff treat customers as Family, and take special care to be sure we are well fed and happy with our meal. My favorite is Haddock stuffed with Spinach and feta cheese, with a side of Sweet Potato Fries and the Salad which comes with the meal. The soups are always tasty and enjoyable additions if not selected as your side. During the 2020 part of Covid, they consistently provided a welcome respite from cooking with their great Take-Out service. I highly recommend either way of enjoying their many menu items.i read more

I ordered the Greek Pasta with chicken, no flavor in the pasta or chicken, pasta was overcooked. Very bland.

Out of the tons of times we've been there, we've never left unhappy. Once they goofed up my husbands meal but when we told them they fixed it super quickly with a smile. They serve the basic breakfast fare. There's plenty of seating and they are always friendly. read more

My friend and I had a wonderful experience here. The service was prompt and friendly, they have a wide selection of foods, and everything we got was delicious. I am a gluten free vegetarian and my friend is a meat lover, but we both found plenty to choose from and enjoyed it all. Great place! read more

the people are so friendly and kind! The food was great for all of our different tastes and the crispy chicken and onion rings were soooooo CRISPY!! It feels like a charming small town restaurant from a movie(: loved it read more

The breakfast here is reasonably priced and you have good portions! Pancakes have great flavor and are dense, which is how I like them. Scrambled eggs, omelettes, home fries, and sausage all have good flavoring and seasoning. Bacon is just slightly too well done for me but is probably perfect for most people. We've gone here a few times a year for probably ten years, when we are in town. Their lunch sandwiches are also good and my favorite is the grilled Rueben. Service is always friendly and what you would expect from a hometown diner. Prices are good and you get a healthy portion for the price. Unfortunately, one time I ordered their special which was a seafood platter and it didn't sit well with me. Being from a coastal state, I shouldn't venture too far inland and order fresh seafood. read more

Friendly waitress who provided great service home fries had a nice crispy greasy char to them. The menu states homemade corned beef hash, I'm glad I asked cause it's not. I opted for the homemade biscuits and gravy, the biscuits were butter and neither dense nor flaky, just kind of in-between. The gravy was plentiful, not too flavorful and not too sausagey. The eggs, bacon and pancakes were standard. read more

First visit to the restaurant. We will be back! Greek salad with chicken was flavorful and filling served with fresh pita. Our booth was clean and sanitized. We were more than socially distant from the next seated booth. The meal was affordably priced and of good value. read more

They are not the nicest atmosphere, really grimy energy a lot of the time. The food is ok.

A... ma... zing. This is a great little diner where the food portions are more than anyone should eat in one sitting and the service makes you feel like family. read more

I ordered a grilled cheese. Simple right? I've been sick and I was sure this would hit the spot. They couldn't even butter the corners of the bread. Worse, two lousy pieces of cheese; not even melted. So mad. read more

I gave 4 stars for the fish fry. Had it twice and it was big, well battered, and fried to perfection.....not overdone as most places around serve it. I told the Chef, and he said that he had a good fry cook. please keep him! Oh, and the salad bar was fresh, the soup acceptable. Service nice both times. Going back. read more

Hit or miss kinda place.. Not great but exceptable. Small in size. They are a little slow but not horrible last I knew

Super good food. Great bang for your buck too. Very good customer service, very kind. And it's super clean. Definitely a great choice!

My family went here, and I ordered cornbeef and eggs, lets put it this I got my food for free, and we never been back since. I'm sorry but I do not have anything nice to say about this place. read more

Really small restaurant. Good menu. The BBQ burger with bacon is delicious but everything else i've had there isn't very good. The salad bar is very small and poor choices. I'd rather go somewhere else. I also got the french onion soup and holy salt! Wayy too much salt. I actually couldn't even eat it. read more

Avoid this restaurant. It's third world nation dirty. I mean that literally. I've been to cleaner restaurants in third world countries. The name suggests Greek; the "beef or lamb flavored strips" for a gyro say it all. I can't give zero stars but if I could, I would. read more

This family restaurant has been very good to us. A young chef that gives that little extra to your food to show they care. American, Italian & Greek meals. All-in-all, a very good local eatery. Love their egg-plant parm. sandwich. Hometown Customer read more

My family and I went here earlier this year, and the service was slow. But it was so dead in the diner, it should have been fast. Maybe if the waitress could get off her cell phone, the food would have been warmer. We won't be returning. read more

Fried captains platter and broiled seafood platter. Both fairly large portions for very reasonable price. The seafood was good quality. Salad bar was very basic. Finished with a nice slice of Apple pie. A decent dinner for a very reasonable price. read more

Akropolis is a family favorite. Some of our favorite items are the stuffed breakfast sandwich, hand breaded chicken tenders smothered in country sweet (make sure it is smothered), Philly cheesesteak pizza, and ruben sandwich. Staff at Akropolis are friendly, take out is fast and ready. A great Palmyra diner. read more
