    They have fish fry all week! How could I not go for that opportunity? It was a very generous piece of fish, fried nice and crispy. It comes with a choice of sides. Cole slaw, side salad or soup and a choice of fries, hash or Greek potatoes. Also on the plate a serving of potato salad. Very good, but a bit too much mayonnaise for me. The Cole slaw was a generous serving and very good. It had a touch of sweetness. The Greek potatoes were very nice and tasty.

    Good food, definitely not designed for nourishment. Still, they will ply you with more comfort food than you can imagine. The coffee is adequate, but predictable. The ambiance is Greek-themed, and nice enough. My dinner lasted me three meals. Server was very kind, and knowledgeable of the menu. If you're looking for sit-down Greek fast food, would totally recommend

    Cheerful, experienced waitresses who seat you and immediately take your drink order. The breakfast was enormous, hot, and less than $10 for breakfast combo #1. The clientele is a nice mix of retirees, young people on their way to work, and third shift people unwinding.

    Visited this lovely restaurant for a family meal and the staff really made sure we felt apart of their family. Once our party was assembled, our party of six was promptly set at a spacious booth and our server was right over to us. The menu has something for everyone to enjoy. Our cheerful and knowledgeable server took our orders promptly and we received our meals just as prompt. Everything was hot and delicious. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and service, looking forward to go back!

    Great restaurant with fantastic service! Our server didn't need to write anything down for 4 people, which was amazing and she took our entire orders with modifications and drink orders as well. The food came out and it was giant plates... we were barely able to finish our means as it was a lot of food. The inside of the diner is nice and quiet and a lovely retro atmosphere!

    This place is great and everyone should check it out! It's on Genesee Street, near the airport, but on the opposite side of the street. I loved seeing the pink bison outside the restaurant and had to get a selfie with it. I came here on Memorial Day with a close friend and today with my boyfriend. We had good service on Memorial Day. I had coffee, cinnamon toast with icing, and a side of Polish sausage. Today I had one of their Saturday specials which was the cinnamon toast with icing with eggs, potatoes, and my choice of meat. I substituted apple sauce for my fried potatoes. (I prefer hash browns.) We had Ryan for our server today and she was great! We had prompt service and didn't have to wait long at ALL for our food on either day so I think they had quite a few cooks on again today. I'd love to come back here very soon to have great food again.

    Texas hots are AMAZING!

    A decent little diner near the airport, known for their chicken souvlaki and Texas red hots hot dogs. This place is right across the street from a Denny's. So if my options are Olympia or Denny's, I'm coming here every time. Lots of food options - salads, burgers, hot dogs, subs, sandwiches, etc. It has a family diner feel to it. Nothing fancy, but the prices are decent and the food is decent. The desserts are absolutely incredible and taste/look homemade. So save room for dessert! They have some of my favorite Texas hots (hot dogs with a chili beef sauce, onions and mustard) ... They don't serve them on a regular hot dog bun, they serve them on costanzo hot dog buns... Which are large and filling. Two of these dogs will easily fill a normal person. They were also very respectful of me bringing my newborn, which I appreciate. The waitress was very welcoming and even brought extra napkins when she seen me crying due to a ridiculous hormone rush. I appreciate the family feel of the place!!

    Ok are you hungry for good breakfast? Fast service? Oh...you are in Buffalo NY as well? We has time…read morebefore the museum opened and decided on breakfast. Lots of little places offering what Starbucks offers (premade offerings). The GPS came up with Mythos. It wasn't far from where we were. We parked on the street behind the restaurant before noticing the blue sign indicating they had a lot behind the building. No matter. Just be aware. You walk in and immediately smell breakfast cooking. We were seated at a booth and ordered a couple cups of coffee. The menu is pretty extensive. She got eggs benedict with toast and hashbrowns. I ordered the steak and eggs breakfast special. It's Thursday morning so not a people in the restaurant. The food is out pretty quick. Coffee gets refilled without having to ask. Eggs are done right, steak is cooked medium, potatoes are a little crispy. Her eggs benedict came out just right, potatoes the same as mine. Plenty of food to fuel up in the morning. We ate and talked for a while. Waitress checked in regular to see if we needed anything. Food is gone, coffee is getting finished. Definitely a breakfast (and lunch) place to check out. Fast service , reasonable prices, quality food. No complaints.

I placed a DoorDash pickup order scheduled for after 5:00 PM because I was at work and wanted fresh food for my mom's birthday dinner. The order was prepared significantly earlier than the scheduled pickup time (around 4:30 PM), which has also happened before with scheduled orders at this restaurant. When I called to ask about the timing, I was shown a restaurant receipt listing a "promised time" of 4:11 PM. I explained that 4:11 PM was the time I placed the order, not the scheduled pickup time. I was told to take the issue up with DoorDash and was directed to use their direct ordering system instead. When I arrived, I again explained the situation and was shown the same receipt. I asked to speak with a manager, but was told no manager would come out. During this interaction, I felt dismissed and disrespected. My concerns were not taken seriously, and I was met with unprofessional behavior, including being laughed at when I tried to explain that I was simply trying to get a fresh meal after working and spending nearly $70 on dinner for a special occasion. The lack of management involvement and the way the situation was handled felt unprofessional. My issue is not just the timing error, but how the situation was handled and how I was treated as a customer. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so scheduled pickup orders and customer concerns are handled more appropriately in the future.

    Oh my goodness. This meal was not only very good, but incredibly generous. I have not been to…read moreApollo before, so had no idea what to expect even after looking at the menu on line. I opted for the breakfast souvlaki with chicken. It comes with home fries. I was asked if I wanted onions in the potatoes. Absolutely yes. So many restaurants do not add onions or charge extra for some to be added. It was a very generous and nicely seasoned portion of potatoes. Eggs, how do you want them? Sunny-side up, please. 2 very nice sunny side up eggs. Pita or some other bread. I picked pita. A nice large one was served along side my lunch. Then there's the chicken. It was beautifully seasoned, all 5 pieces. Yes, 5 pieces and not "tenders". Each piece was approximately 1/2 a boneless breast. Our waitress was very attentive, asking a couple of times whether we were enjoying our meals. You do have to be prepared with cash. Cash or checks only; no credit cards.

I choose the souvlaki breakfast with beef. Marinated chunks of beef, 2 fried eggs (I had sunny side up), homefries with onions and pita. It was a generous serving, I took some home fries home. The beef was medium rate, as requested, and very tasty. I was a bit surprised about the amount of meat on the dish. My wife had the breakfast with chicken and had a lot more meat than my dish. I'm not complaining, I had more than enough meat, but there was a significant difference. Our waitress was attentive.
