Apollo Restaurant Diner

I lived in East Meadow my whole life and have always enjoyed the delicious food and healthy options at this old school diner. The Romanian steak, sliced turkey, gyro, tzatziki sauce, sautéed veggies and baklava are always fresh and cooked to perfection. Great option on Uber eats, food comes hot and packaged perfectly. Enjoy

My Steak salad, was more of a red onion salad. I had atleast a whole onion cut up all kind of way, down to the whites, it had no cucumbers, but there were black and purple olives which was not supposed to be there. Our server wasn't attentive, he only checked on us twice. I would not return.

Food was incredible!! Large portions that we had to take half of it back to our room! I got the grilled chicken, and it was huge piece of chicken that didnt fit on the toasted bun. My wife got the pizza burger! Definitely will come back!

Always great food, great service and fair prices! Since COVID everyone’s been overcharging, not this place. Cheeseburger deluxe w/ FF + Mozzarella & gravy… my friend had grilled cheese w/bacon = $30 total

This place was great. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Was an open option for us later at night that had gluten free options.
We also were able to hang out and talk for a few hours with no pressure. We got there around 9 pm. It wasnt too busy and we were checked on several times. The wait staff was very kind.

Very nice people! I ordered the pancake and bacon the bacon was a little rubbery but palatable. I’m assuming they use thick cut bacon. The pancakes was missing the balance between structure and soup when pancake syrup was applied. The presentation show that they provide a generous amount of bacon. The staff was very nice and quick to recognize me when I came into the place, seated me at the table, took my order, brought me coffee, and had my pancakes ready within about 6 minutes—super fast.

Oh the coffee—horrible even with cream and sugar. I would suggest trying a Colombian blend.

The meal cost $19 and for the price, service, and experience it’s worth it. If I’m in the area I probably wouldn’t revisit—nothing bad about the place—I would probably.

The one star: people who know me understands that in order get at least 2 stars takes multiple visits and checks for quality and consistency. In additional your restaurant has to be exceptional and it requires some technical aspect do food—all of what’s lacking here. I’ll assume it’s because of the majority of the people in the community as to why it lacks the flavor and options traditional in other areas. I think the food choices and plating could be better. Maybe even start making the pancake batter in house (if you do use fresh daily) because the batter and the bacon to me taste like it was prepared days in advance.

Much continues success!
