Cannot recommend this place enough! Best Greek dressing ever, and you can buy it by the bottle! Incredible coneys, best Coney chilli around. The restaurant itself is a hidden gem, but the real treat of the menu is the shish kabob sandwich! The pork is so tender and juicy, and the house made sauce they use on it is to die for!

Best Club Sandwich in a 50 mile radius! They take care when preparing their food. I say “they” but I think it’s the Son of the passed away Owner who is the chef..... Which is awesome! Check it out, I’m confident you will enjoy your meal... Fry’s are great too!!

I went to Apollo Coney on 3/16/23 about 11:30 am. The restaurant has a Mom and Pop shop feel, nothing fancy but the food. This is my first visit here. The lady that took my order on phone was very polite. My order was ready in 15 minutes. Pick up my order, a middle-aged lady with blonde hair.( I didn't catch her name. She knows who she is) . I'm big on customer service and she delivered it. She didn't treat me different because I was a new customer, I appreciate that. The breakfast was cooked like I had asked. It actually tastes like the food I cook for myself. I did put my toast in toaster though because I like the crunch. I had it with a Coke and a . The customer service and the food will bring me back.

Ordered a Gyro to go. They said it would be ready in 10 minutes and it was. It was good, not expensive and I was totally satisfied. I'll be back for more.
