Ran into apollo coney while i'm the east side of the state wish I could just package the whole place and bring them off to the west side. Connefar , beyond what I could imagine delicious and the chili was most excellent. Also, had the Lemon Rice Chicken Soup. Another must have when you're there. I got the bowl. Could be 2 bowls, delicious, nice and lemony the Greek salad was a small but it looked like you could share it between 2 people, plenty of fetal and the dressing was homemade. Total classic. Tucked away in a little mall.Don't miss it.It is a classic all around. read more

The food is fantastic as always! My favorite is the shishkebob, chili, and Greek dressing in their amazing Chicken Greek salad. I know how clean it is because you smell the bleach that is being used to clean the tables. read more

Mom & pop Coney Island type place. Extremely empty on a late Friday morning. Needed a quick lunch,to where I was running errands. Long time waitress- was great! Share a coney, a loose & bowl of lemon rice soup. All tasted good. The specials board - instead of soup of day - says soup of the year ! .? Cash only read more

Went here because of all the great reviews from others. I was disappointed. The coney's were ok-far from what many called "the best in metro Detroit." The restaurant was dirty, including maybe the dirtiest front door I've seen in a while ( I don't understand why restaurants don't wipe down their front doors-especially when they are glass-disgusting!) read more

Very good food . Quick service.. the only downfall is they take cash only.. but their food is really good so if you go there and make sure you bring cash read more

The food was incredible! It's a quiet place with great service! The mozzarella sticks and chilly cheese fries were delicious! The ranch that came with it was great! Overall an amazing place, highly recommend it for a quiet spot to grab a bite! read more

Top notch, authentic Coney Islands. Thick, rich chili atop dogs that snap on fresh rolls... the real deal. Service was great. All set in a diner style atmosphere with booths. Value priced. Overall, 5 stars. read more

I ordered a grilled chicken pita and found a plastic bread clip in the pita. I was so upset that I couldn't eat it and threw it out. When I called to let them know what happened I was told bring it back and let them see and they would make a new pita. They really thought I would want them to make me another pita. They don't have to worry I won't be eating there anymore. ​ read more

Great place! The owner is hands on and friendly. The homemade greek dressing & tzatziki sauce are fantastic as well as the shoestring fries, which were hot and crisp! My chicken was tender and not over salty like other places. I need to go back to try a few more items. Heads up - CASH ONLY! read more

The local Coney is a wonderful location for light family fare. Everything is homemade and delicious cooked to your needs. The family restaurant has been a local treasure on Van Dyke and Riverland center. Their chili is delicious on almost anything they make. The rice pudding is always family and delicious whether eaten warm or chilled. read more

It has been a while since last time here (5-6years). So this time took my wife and daughter(23) and everybody loved it. While it was very slow, not many patrons, the service was darn good and attentive and the food wAs very good. I had the shish kabob sandwich and a coney. My wife a coney and my daughter had their version of National's Hanni sandwich and some chilli cheese fries. The girls loved the fries and I loved my chicken s/which the best. This place has been here forever and is well worth going to, no disappointed customers. read more

This is one of the last few original Coney Island left. If you want a great coney stop in here. All the food coming off the grill looked great. The guy next to me had the Greek Salad it looked awesome too. They only accept cash! read more

It's an old school no-frills Coney place. The menu is not as long as other places, and the food is solid. You walk in and it could be 1960 or it could be 2016. It's a little dive with nothing fancy. No neon, no TVs, not super bright inside (kind of dim). The service was fine. I almost expected to hear someone say "cheezburger, cheezburger." The chili was good, I'm not sure about paying $.40 more for a lonely Kraft single folded up on top. The hot dogs had a nice snap, it was a little burnt on one side. Everything was good, but I was expecting a little more from the reviews. Next time, I'd probably drive down the road to Phoenix for a little less scratch. read more

If you're in for great Coney food, this is the place. We like Leo's and National, etc, but this place goes a step beyond. Great soups, gyros, even the pink salad dressing read more

Ate here this weekend. Best Coney Dog I have had since moving back to Michigan. Also, best onion rings since moving back. Not the panko style that is so prevalent. Highly recommended. read more

So good!!!! nice family! A+ for every time! Support local businesses! Hot dogs are the best around

Been going here for almost my whole life and it never disappoints! Food is fresh, delicious and service is fast and friendly. On top of that it is very reasonably priced. Better than all other "Coney Island" restaurants. read more

Apollo Coney Island - salad w Greek dressing on the side Bowl of The BEST chicken lemon rice soup - American Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Love it! Truly a mom & pop operation, the restaurant has been in Riverland for decades. Hubby used to eat here when he was in high school. The decor is old school - graduation pictures, checkered tile floor, vinyl booths, one-person-at-a-time bathrooms. . it's awesome! Hubby swears by the coney dogs - I love the veggie pita. We always get cheese fries - they melt a slice of cheese over the fries in the microwave. Priceless and delicious! Cash only please! read more

One of the best spots to grab a meal! Owners are awesome as well as the team of employees!

I consider myself a coney dog and chili cheese fry expert and this was not how it's supposed to be! The chili was tasteless, the dog had zero snap and was luke warm (we carried out). Another in my group ordered just cheese fries, when she "dug in" the entire container of fries came up in one fork full. It appeared as though they put a kraft single on top of the fries and then fired it into the microwave. Hashbrowns were dry and Gyro was not much. With SO MANY coney and lunch options in the area, this is a MUST PASS. read more

Been coming here forever!! Absolutely love their french fries and ranch!! Always quick, always nice!! Cash only too- but no problem at all!!

We grew up eating here and return to our old stomping grounds just to get another taste of it. We miss Phil but know that Nick and Angela will carry on what their father worked so hard to build. Plain and simple good food!!! read more

Such pleasant employees! Our food was made and packed correctly. We will do carry out again.

Ordered big breakfast and one coney dog both were great no complaints just for info CASH ONLY but prices are very reasonable well worth it enjoy read more

THE BEST EVER!!! This has been a go-to for my entire family since before I was born. The chili is like none other. Everything is delicious, I've never had a bad meal there. Even plain lettuce tastes better there!! Cannot say enough good things about Apollo. Just go try it already! read more

Get the shish kabob sandwich. Best in the umm, world? I used to live in the area. Now if I am driving by I always stop there. Whatever sauce they invented is delicious. The meat is spectacularly tender. Fries good. Ask for extra sauce. Dip the fries in it. A co-worker recommnended this place 25 years ago. I know believe me. Enjoy! read more

5 stars, no question. Best chili dogs & chili fries in the US. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and now live in a different state. Apollo is the best Coney in the country, other Coneys don't compare. read more

Been going here forever and still the best shish kabob, coney dogs and chili fries. Same owners, family friendly environment and friendly staff! Food is always consistent and good :) read more

Hot dogs and chili were sub-par (cheap hotdogs for sure). Waitress was nice and facility decently clean.

One of my favorite Coney Islands in Michigan. Believe me when I say I have been to many. I enjoy an omelette, hash browns, toast and my bill is under $4! They also have the best mozzarella sticks and ranch. Always crispy and hot. The setting is quiet and relaxed. No rush and usually just a few people in there. Only cons to the place is that they are cash only and not open on sundays. Even if you have to stop at the atm and pull out some cash it will be worth it. All in all I highly recommend the place. I have never left this place hungry or unhappy. Important note: Cash Only! Believe me it's worth hitting the atm. This place is the cheapest coney anywhere. read more

I grew up eating at Apollo. They never made any pretensions about the decor, but the food always ROCKS! from the Greek Salads (with the homemade dressing), the rice pudding (also made daily) to the uncomparable Coneys. they are packed every day at lunch and rightly so! One of the owners son, nick, is now overseeing a new "Detroit-style" place here in LA, complete with importing Faygo! How's that for a family business? do yourself a favor and stop in to Apollo. It's in the Riverland Shopping Center. You'll be glad that you did! read more
