Apollo Flame Bistro - Brevard Rd

Always good food. We never miss this as a stop as we travel south. The food is wonderful, the service is outstanding, and the price reasonable. Worth the stop as you transition from Rt 40 to Rt 26. The menu is wide and family friendly. You can't go wrong.

We recently moved to the area and went here for supper after a day of unpacking. The decor looks very nice when you walk in; however, for some reason they had everyone crammed into one room in the middle and it was very loud and crowded. The food was decent; however, nothing exciting. The dessert was really good; however, the experience of getting it was what left a really bad taste in our mouth and we won’t go back again. We saw someone get a slice of cake. When our waitress asked about dessert, we described the cake we had seen and asked what it was called. Her reply totally bewildered us. She went into a speech about all of the cakes and didn’t seem to know what we were talking about. Her tone was extremely rude and condescending. Even after we went to the dessert case and then described the cake by its location, she didn’t know what it was called. When she brought the bill, she was sickly sweet. We didn’t leave a tip. Then, as we went to pay, we were charged an extra 3% for using a credit card.

Only been there once and my partner and I both got the Chicken Francesca thinking it would be a light sauce with mushrooms as it was described on the menu. It amounted to a heap of spaghetti noodles with some soft bland chicken on top buried in about a pound of mozzarella. Mushrooms were almost nonexistent and forget the light sauce. It was just a big cheesy mess. Looked like a 12yr old came up with this and made it. Disappointed. German chocolate cake for dessert was perfect though.

One of the most HORRID experiences at a restaurant I have had. We ordered food to go and we're told it would be a 15 minute wait, we have ordered from there before and it was always quick. We get there, my husband goes in and he's in there a while before coming out saying it would be a few more minutes. He goes back in 3 or 4 more times and at this point was told BY THE OWNER "I don't know what's going on, we don't know where your food is". We have been there over an hour at this point and I am PISSED. So I go in and I promise it's not pretty, after causing a scene, the owner still proceeds to say she "doesn't know" after my husband comes in to get me and we leave they are conveniently saying "oh we have your food right here". Yeah im sure you and your staff have spit in it and did god knows what else to that food.
This is UNACCEPTABLE as an OWNER to tell someone who has waited for over an hour for to go food that you simply do not know what's going on, you are an owner you need to act like one.
By the way does everyone know that any tips left go straight to the owners, staff DO NOT get any tips left to them, we have been told this by MULTIPLE workers.

Horrible experience tonight. We order from this place all the time. Their usual response is it will be ready in 15 minutes. Well 15 minutes tonight turned into 1 hour and a half and the manager kept saying “ I don’t know what’s going on “ to my daughter and son in law. I called. The manager told me “ I’m having a horrible time with my kitchen staff I have no idea where your food is or when it will be ready “ we had a 3 year old screaming for pizza and I had just worked a 12 hour shift as a nurse. The owner per my daughter just stood there and said nothing. Do better. We won’t be back.

Ordered the steak and cheese sub with chips to go. The sub was a good size and quality but they gave us a bag of lays chips as our side. The main location on hendersonville road always makes their chips in house. Don't know why this one doesn't.

Apollo is just a great Greek dining experience. The food is always fresh, there's great portions and the service is typically terrific. They have a wonderful selection of desserts as well. I often find my wife and I will make excuses to drive out in that direction just to eat there.

Vegetarian options: It's Greek food, so expect a fair amount of lamb and chicken

Went for a late lunch on a Saturday, seated quickly, and served just as fast. Barely finished our salads when the main courses were already being brought to the table. In all, in and out, in about 35 minutes.

Food was good. Staff friendly. No wonder this is a popular place.

We have the pleasure of eating out often and I must say this has been the worst Lamb Euro and pasta salad I’ve had in my life! If I could leave the food 0 stars I would. Pass by this place if you like good Mediterranean food.

The food was so salty, I couldn't eat it. I ordered the Philly without a bun. Staff was an upside. Very polite.

I have been ordering the grilled chicken Greek salad from the hendersonville rd location for 20 years and have never once been disappointed. I decided to order from the brevard rd location today because I was on that side of town. I was extremely disappointed with my order. Not only was I was charged more but there was about half the amount of chicken on my salad, the salad was not as fresh, the lady who waited on me was not friendly at all and there were no crackers with my salad. The wonderful staff at the Hendersonville Rd location were always friendly and generous with the amount of chicken and crackers they provided with my order. Do these locations have separate owners?

Beautiful restaurant, only very rarely do I give 5 stars and this place just missed out because yes they have attractive waiters, they are young and don’t know the restaurant business yet. Besides that the food was excellent and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in Italy. Prices were good for a sit down and we enjoyed our date night!.
