Greek restaurant, Bar, European restaurant, Mediterranean restaurant
Their regular gyros are excellent and have been enjoyed by all of my family and friends who've been introduced.Whether you're an OSU student, in-town for the night life, or just visiting, Apollo's Greek Kitchen is an excellent, affordable choice and I can't recommend their regular gyro enough (I highly-recommend it be ordered "regular"; I highly-recommend resisting the urge to customize this menu item)! The staff is always notable friendly and fast.Anytime I've ordered in-person or via DoorDash, the quality of Apollo's food has been consistently excellent. I am not affiliated with the restaurant and typically don't leave reviews, but their food is so good that it has to be shared with others! Order a "regular gyro" today! You'll see that no embellishments were made! - Tyler, Tech By Trade
I have been an Apollo's lover for over 20 years.However, since the ownership changed to the son, the quality and service has completely changed.They no longer answer the phone, and when I was in there to place an order face to face, my order was completely wrong when I got home.I ordered beef/lamb got chicken that was filled with gristle and bones.Spent $45 on 2 salads and 3 gyros.Everyone was disappointed with their food.Their chicken definitely isn't the same, the portions are smaller, and the service is terrible.I was in there on a Thursday around lunch time, and the place was empty.Anyone that knows OSU campus during school days, and has been around for a while, knows that place should have been packed.So sad to see the decline of an OSU campus institution.I wonder how the original owners (or parents) of the current owner feel about this shift in quality and service.Unfortunately, I will probably not return.I drove over 2 hours round trip to go there too.:(
Owner response
Sorry for your experience. I reviewed and confirmed your order at the counter prior to making the food. You watched as I prepared the entire order. Explain how service was terrible when I was only focused on your order. Yes our chicken is different. We switched from dark thigh meat to halal boneless and skinless tenders, the quality is much better and the cost is over double per pound. The portions are significantly larger than before. You were already upset upon entering the facility. As for not being busy at lunch, the students are on spring break. I’m sorry I couldn’t hijack students from going to Florida to make you feel better. Campus in general has declined thanks to Campus Partners construction and Covid. Name 5 businesses that are still around that opened 20+ years ago in the area. You can’t. If our product and service was so terrible as you say, we would have been out of business already.
I am from out of town and my family and I live the food here.It has a hole in the wall vibe.But that usually allows for the best food.Best gyros in town!! We will be back
