    Cheeseburger, Fries, Apollo Sauce, Cherry Hand Scooped Shakes 12 oz
    Steven J.

    Pretty good burgers in the Salt Lake City area! The burger was on the bigger side and pretty juicy, packed with fresh toppings. Not the best burger I've ever had, but pretty darn good for the price. The fries were subpar, but the Apollo sauce helped. I also got a Cherry Hand-Scooped Shake. It was good but very chunky, I think it's meant to be eaten with a spoon. Overall, not a bad spot-- and pretty cheap too (for the area).

    1/2 4.5/5 - Great Burger, Solid Experience, but Pricey I decided to try Apollo Burger after checking the reviews and being a little unsure, but I'm glad I went. The double bacon cheeseburger was excellent--perfect size, fresh, juicy, and definitely a step up from your typical fast-food chain. The onion rings were another highlight: crispy, hot, and not overly oily. I also sampled the special sauce, but it wasn't my favorite (a bit too sweet for me), so I switched to ketchup for the onion rings and that paired perfectly. The restaurant itself is spacious and nicely put together. During my visit there were about 10-12 people inside, but it still felt comfortable and open. My only suggestion would be for the owner to dedicate a staff member specifically for table clean-up. About half the tables were clean, and the other half could've used a quick wipe-down--possibly because I came in right after a rush. Food: 4.5/5 Cleanliness/Atmosphere: 4/5 You can tell a lot of care went into designing the place, but it needs consistent upkeep from the staff to match the quality of the food. Now for the one downside: the price. My meal came out to $20.20, which is a little steep for a burger and onion rings. If the burger price was in the $14-$18 range, I'd be back much more often. I think the higher price point might be the reason the place isn't packed. Overall, Apollo Burger is worth trying--especially if you want something better than the usual fast-food spots. Great food, solid environment, just slightly overpriced.

    Apollo's pastrami burger.

    With such a large LDS population in Southern Idaho, I can't believe pastrami burgers haven't come north from Salt Lake City. And although I never saw a bit of pastrami in Greece, leave it to a Greek family to make pastrami a burger topper and make it a fan favorite. My first time looking for a pastrami burger in Salt Lake, I meant to go to Crown Burger, but they were closed since it was on a Sunday. I found Apollo and was very happy with their offering. The pastrami is tender and flavorful and was piled it. It was a great compliment to the burger.

    Staying near the airport and was looking for a quick bite. Stopped in and got an Apollo burger and fries. The burger was tasty although the special sauce is ok just a little on the sweet side. The fries were hot. Workers didn't seem to be too interested in taking orders, but after a couple of minutes of standing and staring at them, we got service. The place was dirty and finding a clean table was a chore. I ended up grabbing a couple of napkins and getting them wet at the soda machine and wiping down a table for my son and me.

    I heard that the pastrami burger is a Salt Lake City delicacy with Apollo and Crown as the main spots. I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of the two but unfortunately Crown is closed on Sundays so that made the decision easy on which one to try first. I ordered the apollo burger ($6.79) and the regular fries ($2.99). The pastrami is pretty tasty and adds another layer of flavor to the burger. It's actually a pretty decent burger even without it but it is indeed so much better with the pastrami in it. The fries were nicely salted and goes well with their apollo sauce which is a thousand island dressing based sauce similar to In-N-Out or Chick Fil-A. The food was out so quickly too; by the time I got my water cup, filled it up, and found a table, the worker already had my food on the table. Overall it was a pretty good burger.

    Gyro breakfast sandwich with fries and a coffee, $5.50.

    Ah another Greek inspired/owned fast food joint. You know the kind. Pastrami burgers, gyros, fry sauce, etc. My go to here is breakfast. I really enjoy the breakfast sandwich with gyro meat. So tasty! The breakfast platters are great as well. Coffee is average. For lunch it's hard to beat the pastrami burger. All though I think Crown and California Burger do a better version. So why the 3 stars? Service is off at times. Today I went through the drive thru and they forgot my hash brown patty. So I parked and went in. The young lady working the register says "you didn't order the combo". Hmmm well you charged me for one and the receipt in the bag says I ordered that. She informs me that she'll do me a favor and give me one for free. Whatever. This isn't the first time they have forgotten something or just gave me something I didn't order. Other than that, it's a nice option when you want something fast.

    Get this hamburger its so yummy

However, additional details create a loving connection - its off-Broadway central location, the copper-paneled ceiling that mimics warm conversations in varied spaces (cocktail, chef's counter, expandable tables for groups, and outdoor), fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with service to match. It's the place where I had my first glass of Turley Zinfandel (education alongside), and the place I will always return for my favorite Wagyu Beef Stroganoff (a comfort from home, but upscale). This one delivered with large, firm, expertly seasoned portobello & forest mushrooms over wide, freshly handmade pappardelle pasta that soaks up rich beef stock (a touch of black pepper) blended with crème fraîche. A generous portion of wagyu is tender and rich. PRO TIP: Mix then let it sit & marinade a minute - flavor pays in dividends. For dessert, a Valhrona Chocolate Pudding topped with whip cream and Maldon flake salt - exquisite, but expensive. The texture is comforting and delicious - olive oil adds a lingering finish with slight fruit.

I informed her that we had a reservation under my name, John, but she simply looked at her list, seemed annoyed, and told us to wait anyway. While we were waiting, we watched several parties of two arrive after us with reservations at 8:10, 8:15, and even 8:20, and they were seated before us. After waiting about 20 minutes, I went back to ask how much longer it would be. I was told it would be another 20 minutes. I reminded Carleigh that we had a reservation, and her response was, "Oh, you did?" She then asked for my full name and phone number, looked up the reservation, apologized, and immediately escorted us to a table that appeared to have been ready the entire time. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing. Reservations are made so guests don't have to wait behind people who arrive later. It felt like our reservation had been completely ignored until I spoke up a second time. Whether this was poor organization or a lack of attention, the level of service at the front desk was unacceptable. We came looking forward to a nice family dinner, but the experience started with unnecessary frustration and left a very poor first impression. I sincerely hope additional training is provided so this doesn't happen to other guests.

Someone ordered an Americano (from the menu) to which she said they didn't have espresso... she ended up bringing the Americano to him without any explanation. It was just a little odd. Someone ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer, and they were good, but I wouldn't order them again. A lot of people ordered the burger, which was overcooked for almost every person and definitely didn't seem like wagyu beef. The steak sandwich I got (pictured) was good, but it came with lettuce that had really long stems. I don't particularly enjoy eating stems, so that's as annoying. The rest of my food was delicious. ESPECIALLY the garlic aioli. I could drink that stuff! The cost did seem fair for the quality of food, but a few adjustments could be made to the cook and such. We enjoyed our time and I will definitely go back! Hopefully for some drinks next time!
