Solid food at a reasonable price. Had the gyro sammich and the chicken souvlaki and shared a saganaki for all under $25. Made fresh, flavorful food. They get it done with the quickness too so if you're under a time constraint and near Brady and craving Greek food this is the place on the lower east side. read more

I really love this place. I used to live around the corner and I practically lived off their vegy plate. Their gyro is good also, but I rarely get it because they give you so much (which I guess is a plus for a lot). The folks that run this place are nice too. Kind of place you feel good supporting. Leave room for the baklava which is the reciepe of one of the owners moms...or something like that. read more

I traveled to Greece a while back, and Apollo Cafe is the closest I've come to matching the flavors and quality of the dishes I ate. My bf and i ordered our food and the plates were huge proportions for the $7 or 8 we paid. We tried the Pastici (they were out of the Mousaka) and the sample plate. Greek coffee was amazing, and when I'm back in town I will definately come here. You should as well. read more

Oh Apollo Cafe, how I swore off your gut busting plates with fries, but every time when I am drunk on Brady St I end up here. A favorite drunk establishment of Eastsiders, I would say you can compare the atmosphere to one of Ian's Pizza. The drunk antics are fun to see when you spot them. Talking to random fellow tipsy strangers is always a good time. I always end up getting the chicken soulvaki with fries. Add in their delicious white yogurt, which I end up using on everything, and you are in a drunk bliss. Always end up taking some food to go, and having a nice hangover lunch with it. Best place on proper Brady St area for hot food (much better than Philly Cheapsteak right next door). read more

I live right by the Apollo Cafe and have ate there many times when I am craving a Gyro. I use to live on the east side by UWM and hit the oakland gyros all the time and I would have to say that between the two I have still not made up my mind. Apollo cafe has been hit or miss and perhaps it is because sometimes it is not so busy and the meat just sits there and sometimes "late night" it is packed and the meat is fresh of the cooker. Apollo is def less meat then Oakland Gyros but I live by less is more. I love the fact that they except credit card. The gyro plate is my recommendation. No matter who wins the Greek battle Oakland gyros or Apollo I know they are all better than Grecian delight. read more

Fresh ingredients, a wide variety of dishes, quick service, very friendly staff / ownership, and the BEST Greek food in all of Milwaukee!

Nice burger joint. I used to walk here on occasion to grab a burger and fries. Personally, i think that thick fries are gross. I order them anyways, but i never eat them all. The burgers are pretty good and the fish sandwich is way below average. Never tried anything else. read more

This greek place is great for quick food when you're in a hurry or playing trivia at World of Beer like me! The BEST hummus I have ever had. If you're sharing, ask for another pita because it's delicious and your friends won't be able to stop themselves. read more

When we walked in (around 1:20am), it was empty. My boyfriend and I ordered two gyros for eat in. We went to wait for our food when a group of ladies came in shortly after us and placed the same order. As the cashier took their order, he immediately handed them our order and they walked away from the counter with their food as we continued to wait for ours. I'm a patient person, I don't mind waiting for food. But it was extremely obvious that the cashier was simply trying to impress the group of young ladies that had come in after us. We then decided to wait directly up at the counter and the cashier refused to even acknowledge us. The blatant rudeness was very apparent. I was extremely disappointed. read more

Great price, good food. Simple interior for a quick gyro/sandwich. I had a gyro and there was plenty of meat on it. Wasn't greasy at all, which was very nice. read more

Apollo cafe is exactly what you would expect from a gyro place- except their meat is sooo delicious and flavorful. That is the one thing that would make me choose their gyros over the other gyro places'. You get a lot of food for your money, like two meals worth. The employees are not at all friendly, but that's why I just get my gyros to-go. Good spot on Brady for some cheap take-out. read more

The lemon rice soup is some of the best that I've ever had. This is my go to Greek restaurant if I'm in the mood for Greek food. The broasted chicken, gyro and grape leaves are other menu items that I've tried and liked. I recommend giving Apollo Cafe a try! read more

Had lunch here after good reviews on yelp, but we were disappointed. Even the fries weren't good - soggy and flavorless. And my wife didn't finish her chicken - which was a first! read more

Very friendly service and the chicken souvlaki and salad were a perfect lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious. Super reasonable prices for a large meal. read more

Nice to come back here and find nothing has degraded. It's as good as it ever was. The gyros are gorgeous and fresh. There is no skimping with yogurt sauce here. I need to try more of the menu, but I find it hard to resist the mighty greek staple dish. The Spanikopita beckons... read more

Awesome Gyro! Skip the fries and have it with a Greek salad. And have it with a beer...Riverwest Stein Beer amber lager by Lakefront Brewery. And the owner is super nice. read more

Best gyro on the east side. The stuffed green peppers is pretty disappointing though. I love stuffed green peppers but the one time I had it here, the pepper was so soggy I couldn't eat it. read more

Apollo Cafe is my favorite spot for a gyro in Milwaukee. The service is great and fast. The food is even better. You get a lot of food which is great if your stumble in late night after drinking. You can't go wrong eating here. read more

YUM. i love greek foods, especially when they are quick. i got the veggie platter - greek salad, grape leaves and spinach pie. i will be back. read more

I miss this place. I found it during my last year living in Wisconsin and became an addict. The food is delicious and inexpensive (read: I could share ONE platter with my then boyfriend and we would BOTH be completely full). One of the best parts is that they have squirt bottles of tzatziki on each table. OMG it's unreal. I still think this is the best Greek food I've ever had, and I miss it dearly! read more

Found this quant place on Yelp while visiting the city. Overall the food was good. My husband got a gyro and said it was good, I got a falafel sandwich and it was decent. Our 2 yr daughter scarfed down the potato and leek soup which was delicious. The hummus left much to be desired and the bathroom could use an update. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

I think these guys deserve all five stars because the ambiance is classy enough to enjoy eating there... and they have the best grapeleaves I've ever eaten. I've never gotten around to trying the gyros, though all of the various companions I've gone with say those are delicious too. I'm just a HUGE fan of their grapeleaves--addictive enough to order one to eat steaming hot and fresh... and one to take home and enjoy a day later! read more

On a recent visit to Milwaukee, I was excited to see so many good reviews of Apollo but there's bound to be one like mine sooner or later. I've had my fair share of Greek food and though I have never been to Greece, I have been fortunate enough to live in Toronto and experience the wonder that is Greek Town on the Danforth. I would say that THAT is the best Greek food I have ever had and Apollo would fit as average in there so I guess that's a good thing. None of the food at Apollo was especially mind-blowing and the several reviews about the dry chicken souvlaki rang true on my visit as well. The pita was delicious in my opinion but it was the fluffy oily kind as opposed to the tougher drier kind (reminded me of naan for some reason). The Greek salad was fine and very fresh but again, not mind blowing. In addition to the chicken souvlaki, I tried the combination plate which consisted of the Pastitsio, Spanakopita, Dolmathes, and Gyro meat. I did not like the Spanakopita very much but the Dolmathes was quite flavourful. The Gyro meat was also fine. The tzatziki was quite tasty though it didn't have the green bits in it that I'm normally used to. Finally, the potatoes were also quite good. During my visit, a Greek patron voiced his disapproval of the chef's Pastitsio... I've never had this particular dish myself so I cannot comment. All in all, it was satisfying given the reasonable price of the dishes. Service was fine, neither surly nor overly friendly. read more

Amazing gyros. Freshly cut meat, great veggies and all for around $6. Not bad.

Was one of my favorite spots when I lived in MKE. Used to kill their gyros, their chicken and even their seafood. Inexpensive and filling. Their cucumber sauce is outrageously good. I would put it on shoeleaces and eat those if I had to. They always give you a good amount of really tasty, really salty feta cheese. Yet, I still want more. I can see parking being an issue, but I only really went there walking or stumbling so never really an issue for me. read more

Love that this place is so close! I think their food it's original and authentic. Love that is open late night

A very cute place to hang out. The atmosphere is very mellow and relaxed. The service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly. I got "Chicken Souvlaki Grifted and seasoned chunks of skinless, boneless chichen in pita". The plate was stuffed with food, very good value for the money. My only note might be that the chicken was a little dry but nothing that bothered me or stopped me from stuffing myself! read more

Apollo Cafe rocks! Their gyros are among the best in the city and they are really cheap. The baklava I had was also very tasty and not dried out like so many other Meditarranean restaurant's in Milwaukee serve. I haven't tried any of the dishes they serve, but judging by the smiles on all the other customer's faces, I'd say their food all around is awesome. I found the employees very friendly and personable. It's definitely not a place to go on a date, but the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. read more

I agree: better than Oakland Gyros (not as greasy & sloppy), pleasing decor, service is efficient and quick, and portions are generous. Fast - and not chain store fast food. read more

If you're a vegetarian I'd definitely recommend the Paris Pita. The olive spread is really good. The entire dish is pretty messy though. Order at the front and they'll call your meal once it is done. read more

Staff was super friendly and helpful explaining all the dishes. Lemon soup was terrific, as were the gyros, spanakopita was yummy, the chicken souvlaki was a little dry but had good flavor. The portions were huge. (Enough for the next day's lunch!) And the baklava (which we took home, too) was super. Will go there again on another trip to Milwaukee. read more

Delicious Greek food and not just gyros. We had grilled tuna souvlaki and chicken souvlaki and a horatiki salad. Good size portions.. Also had a tasty frosty mint lemonade. You just order at the counter and they call out when ready. We ate at a nice little patio outside and watched life on Brady St. read more

Great Gyro joint. The owners are the staff and they care about your experience. Everything on the menu is great and they love special orders. read more

Sorry but this was the worst gyro I ever had. And the chicken souvlaki. Meat was super dry and the whole thing bland.

Best Greek food on Brady Street. The lamb melts in your mouth, and if the weather permits, you can sit outside, eat, drink, smoke and imagine for a few fleeting moments that you're in Greece, not Milwaukee. read more

I love this place. They're my weekend lunch stop and they always treat me great. They remember me when I come in and are always super kind. Food is delicious and prompt. read more

The fries must have been in the deep fryer for only a few seconds. Most disgusting fries I have ever been served. Slimey rubbery and soft. The falafel pita was poorly assembled and the veggies were barely chopped making the whole thing nearly impossible to eat. If I had not ordered this to go, I would never have accepted it but it was too late when I got all the way home and opened the bag. Not returning here ever again. read more

The meat was dry, the fries were stale, and my friend got food poisoning from this place within an hour of eating the chicken souvlaki. Yikes - that'll be our last time eating there!! read more

Apollo Café has excellent food! The cleanliness of the restaurant is the only reason I'm not giving it five stars. The staff is always very helpful you can see them prepare your food right in front of you. I also think that the gyros are, when fresh, delicious. read more

This place makes me so incredibly happy. I have been coming here for over 8 years. More frequently in the past but every once and a while I get the chance to stop by and enjoy a delicious lunch. Their customer service far surpasses any restaurant in town and I love the mom and pa feel here. Always clean and always friendly. Their cuisines are so yummy and always exactly how I remember them! read more
