We stopped in during the rush hour 6:30 to a full house without a reservation. They found us a table and were attentive right from the start . Our server was fun & friendly with great suggestions for our dinner. The food came out in a timely manner and was hot and delicious . We had the special with large portion sizes and a great value. In the end it was a wonderful experience with the lively atmosphere, great service and delicious food and very reasonably priced.
We went there for dinner to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. The waitress was not particularly friendly. It was not busy yet we waited 45 minutes for our meals. My mother was not able to eat her meal as the pasta sauce was very strong tasting. When the waitress asked about our meals, my mother mentioned the sauce. The waitress basically questioned my mother's opinion and laughed at her objection. There was no offer to bring another plate and we were still billed for the meal. When the bills were paid, the waitress appeared to check the tippage. She then confronted my parents about the service/food. I was embarrassed for her and felt bad for my folks. I don't usually do these reviews but I was very disappointed at what happened.
EXCEPTIONAL! The food was VERY good. Staff treated our large group with the upmost respect and were fun! Their suggestion were great. I usually don't order desert because most times restaurants offer store bought7 expensive tiny portions. Not here! Home made, large portions and delicious!!! Well done.
I had my Birthday supper here last night and I was so impressed. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The menu offered many choices, both traditional and non. We started with the saganaki which was both visually stunning and delicious. We also ordered the Apollo Board which included a stunning array of dolmades, spanakopita, meatballs, calamari, feta, olives, tzaziki and pita wedges. Everything was amazing! The dolmades were delicate and flavorful and the spanakopita was flaky and golden. We also ordered a greek salad which was made with incredibly fresh ingredients and we also ordered some perfectly grilled skewers of succulent pork & chicken souvlaki. For dessert we enjoyed a delicious slice of Boston Cream Cake. The service was impeccable and our attentive waitress was eager to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The Apollo is a true gem and an absolute must-try. I wholeheartedly give it a well-deserved 5-star rating and will definitely be returning.
Worst Greek food I've ever had in my life. The lettuce in my gryo was dead and just ends. Its sad that people still come to this place if this is the quality control. Also you are using uncle Ben's rice. That is the saddest part about that.
This charming restaurant is a hidden gem! Fresh food with healthy options, a cozy stylish interior and friendly and attentive service. I stopped in Sudbury while travelling and loved this place so much that I had lunch here on my way back as well. I hope to come back one day!
We ordered the flaming cheese for an appetizer and then I ordered the lamb soulvaki and my daughter ordered the chicken. Everything tasted great, thr flaming cheese was a bit over priced. Portions were a bit small for the $26 per entrée I felt.
As soon as I came in I was dazzled by how cute and quaint this place was. I was greeted by the owner who made me feel welcome { even though I felt a little underdressed because of how fancy is place looks...) and she asked me where I would like to sit and made sure I was comfortable. The waiter that came to my table was very nice, I wasn't sure what to order for my soup and sandwich and he said just the slovaquie meat sandwich was very good. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, the food taste homemade, the price for the lunch special was decent. I would definitely come again.
Always best food and service. Owner is so welcoming.
Excellent food and service. A true local gem!
Thank you so much for recognizing the veterans on November 11th. It was greatly appreciated. Ill be back again soon.
Delicious, lunch prices are quite reasonable, friendly staff.
The stuffed grape leaves are life changing sooooo good
Amazing food that has not changed in 15 years! I highly recommend eating here!
It was our first time coming here.. my husband and I have wanted to come try for a long time. Man they did not dissapoint. This will be one of our favorite restaurants going forward. My husband had the chicken parm, The best weve had and I had the lamb chop. Everything was soo good, so fresh. The waitress was amazing. She knew her stuff. Very cute spot , we will be back
One of the best meals at a restaurant in a long time. The service was spot on and the meal excellently prepared. The lamb shank was fall off the bone tender and daily soup a perfect starter. A definite do again when we are back to Sudbury.
Excellent service. Fresh and tasty food. lamb chops delicious. Perfect for fancy dine in.
We stopped at Appalo Restaurant for lunch after my husbands medical appointment. It was our first time eating there. We had driven by this quaint little Restaurant for years. We were very pleased with our lunch service, ambiance and the desert!! This is our new favorite dining spot! Try it!
Super nice place. Their dinner menu is more expensive than we had expected and they allowed us ti order off of the lunch menu to get the gyros we had wanted :) nice people and great music
The food was delicious. We had the specials. Trout and chicken parmigiana. House wine was great. Atmosphere wise, te de or was tastefully done. Only thing I would change is the restaurant temperature as it was too cold. Might have been because we arrived when they just opened for the evening.
The food was horrible. Seafood was fishy and rotten. The owner yelled at us because we were not eating the food. Overpriced. Never going back
Food was scratch cooking with quality ingredients. Atmosphere was tasteful. Service was excellent.
The food is not that amazing (especially when you are so used to GTA-food) if you tried any fast food Greek serving place is soooo much better. The price, is too high. I mean I Dont mind paying more money as long it s worth it. So definitely not worth it. The service is awesome. When we left this place, I felt like I spend too much but when I think about the service I told myself that probably is the service why it makes it so expensive. The serving? Is not much (you can actually get more servings in the fast food Greek place like jimmy the Greek and taste way better. (Sorry not sorry) I got chicken souvlaki dinner
Thank you Lindsay for taking my order for a Boston cream cake. It was delicious as usual, fresh fresh and the staff took great care to get it packaged safely! It went over great as the birthday cake
Skip order cancelled due to no response from restaurant.
We decided to get together at Apollo because of the location and a couple in our group were coming from out of town. Our server, Darren, was excellent and attentive. The food was fabulous, I had the special, chicken parm, caeser salad and a light dessert. Portion sizes were excellent. Atmosphere was cozy but I didnt feel uncomfortable when our group had a loud laugh. I would recommend this restaurant and I will return on my next visit to Sudbury.
My family has been supporting Apollo for longer than I ve been alive and it was a treat to finally be able to sit down and enjoy a great meal for my Grandpa s birthday! Toula was so sweet and welcoming to make his day great!
Honestly, truly great food and service. A gem and happy find.
Great food, great service!
Amazing food and a lovely experience!!
While the food wasnt the worst greek I have ever had, the price point for the quality is appalling. Food is dry and lacking in flavour, portion size is lacking for 25 per plate too.
I just ordered 2 Caesar salads, one with chicken. I can t believe how bland and small they were. What a waste of 45.00. Large price for mediocre food. Food
Very disappointed! I ordered the feast for two The food was overpriced but I was okay with it because I thought I was getting something that s worth the money, the portion was small, the food has no test to it especially the salad was blunt(no olive oil, no dressing, very stingy with the feta cheese and I literally found 2 pieces of olives) it was a horrible experience! I will definitely not be ordering again.
The worse experience ever went there for my aunts bday party had no choice but to take what was offered to the group we couldnt order from menu ...had no choice to eat my dinner or starve...when u r a person that can only eat limited foods it was disappointing...then when someone u know order a soup and dont even get his soup then get charge for a salad that he never got...the server was rude the manager was not compassion for her customers and to top it off for a Saturday they didnt have much beer to choice from ...lets just say never going back to expenses and service sucks....good luck
We celebrated my Dads 90th birthday and it was awesome. The sweet waitress came over singing Happy Birthday and other people joined in. My Dad had his favourite liver and onions and enjoyed himself immensely. Thank you Apollo restaurant staff.
The food is what really holds this restaurant back.
My Birthday dinner wishes all came true. Darren did a great job keeping all 9 of us hydrated and fed . The specials were great, the deserts even better. The lamb, out of this world. Dietary restrictions: Great variety of dishes.Something for everyone.
Lovely meal.
I love Apollo and all their staff. Service is above average as well as food and service. I will be back!
They have accommodated our big group and they did everything to make us feel great.
Food was all very good, good spirits around from staff even with my 3 yr old having a cartoonish fit of half excitement half tired and cranky like weve never seen almost the entire time. Best place in Sudbury weve been to so far after being here 10 yrs.
Absolutely amazing service and food. Amela is one amazing waitress. Must go and we will be back. Thank you for amazing birthday dinner
very good food, i had the veal
Everything was so delicious and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Thank you for everything
Definitely will not be back. Starters were good in taste and presentation. Disappointed with the main course,served cold and not fresh.Later Microwaved which further destroyed the taste.
Very classy place good staff and food was great keep on the good work
Visited April 9th for my mothers birthday and was not disappointed. The server handled our table professionally and with speed and accuracy. The food was amazing through and through, for all ten people in our group. 5 stars, amazing experience.
I used to visit this restaurant when on business trips in the 1980s and 1990s prior to retirement. Back then we used to order only main dishes and the food was great. Yesterday we visited again but were disappointed. Because we were restricted to a meatless diet we ordered four meatless appetisers: Fried calamari, grilled octopus, spanakopita and Greek salad. The Greek salad and the fried calamari were ok. The spanakopita was so and so and unfortunately the grilled octopus had to be returned back and we were not charged for it. . It appeared to be reheated and very dry. Service was ok.
Great food!
First class experience, great food, service, experience
This is a GREAT RESTAURANT! My boss and I were there last Monday night, they werent even open on Mondays but they let us in anyways as there was a private party going on. Even though they were only 20 mins from closing, they welcomed us in and made us feel right at home and served us an amazing pickerel dish along with the Spartan chicken. The food was excellent and the welcome feeling will keep us coming back for years to come.
Best service, atmosphere and food
Great food. I do not like load resturants so I really enjoyed the nice Greek music and relaxing vibe of this place.
Poor service, bad experience with the waitresses. Comes and asks for tips and saying how much we have to tip them. Never going there again. Very bad experience
Very clean and well kept for an older establishment. Enjoyed the food very much - fresh ingredients and homemade. Friendly staff. Would visit again anytime!
Great Greek place. The best.
Need Greek cuisine? This is your place. Classic Greek dining with all the fixings and outdistancing service.
Very welcoming, excellent food, relaxing atmosphere.
Excellent food and service, Apollos is the best Greek place in Sudbury.
Always excellent food. Always excellent service.
Great meal, service and atmosphere
Beautiful atmosphere, superb staff, excellent service from Darren, and the most delicious meal. Will definitely visit this establishment again.
Excellent and delicious food!Everyone from the staff was very kind and friendly. Thank you!
One of THE best. Amazing food, hospitality and atmosphere
Good food great service ..plan on returning
Excellent food great atmosphere
Great food. Kind and courteous staff. The lamb was outstanding as always.
I was very disappointed with the portion size for the price. I said ok hopefully this is going to have a wow factor considering my husband and I have Greek food every week. The chicken was dry and the potatoes wasnt anything special. I could of done a better job if I was cooking this at home. Bad value for money .
Just moved to town, I believe we have our Greek restaurant Great food and service
Absolutely loved everything and i am a really fussy person lol This is the first positive review i ever write about a restaurant our server Myra was so nice and knowlageble about the menus and specials!! I would totally recommend this restaurant!!
The food and service at The Apollo is consistently good. I just recently purchased saganaki cheese from the small grocery market that they have on site. They sell all sorts of Greek cheeses, pastas candies and dinners that you can take home. This is one of Sudburys restaurants that I always tell people to try.
Excellent food and friendly service. Great with kids
Ordered a feast for two. Portions were very small. Chicken kebabs were dry and the lamb was so salty it might as well have been dipped in sea water. Cost me $90 and it wasnt worth the price at all. Weve had much better Greek food with better potions for the price at other places.
Very pleasant atmosphere. Waitress was efficient and food was delicious!!
Great staff, decent food, a bit pricy?
Great service and even better food. Well worth the wait.
First time inside a restaurant since COVID. Very clean, great waitress, excellent food. Cant wait to go again.
Amazing!
Themed for a Greek cuisine, open conveniently from Monday to Saturday, not large but cozy and stylish. Menu is not too long but has all the traditional Greek entrees , sides and appetizers. Service was quick and pleasant. The prices are on a higher side but justified by the plate sizes, service and atmosphere of an upscale establishment. Food quality is decent, but not exceptional.
Excellent meal and service. Highly recommend.
Authentic Greek food reasonably priced and the service is top notch!
Best Greek food in town.
Delicious food every time without exception!!
Fantastic restaurant. I wish I couldve spent more time there
I had a great veal parm, but my partners French onion soup was extremely sour. Service was great, place was very clean, but prices were a little high. Granted I dont know how food costs have changed this year
Absolutely fantastic meal! I was not disappointed with anything I had and the staff and ambience made for a wonderful evening out. Would highly recommend if you are looking for Mediterranean food!
4 out of the last 5 company Christmas dinners held here. Food is amazing, staff courteous and atmosphere perfect.
This is one the best meals I ve ever had in a restaurant. Ever. This is a relatively small place, but it manages to be intimate and homey. It drips Greek authenticity from decor to food. The servers and hostess were very helpful, friendly and engaging. There was a welcoming, unpretentious quality to the whole experience. The food here blew my mind, as well as those of the four people with me. I had the trio of lamb as my main, and each version of lamb was better than the next. As I was leaving I told the hostess this was the best lamb I d ever had and she shouted to the owner/chef, Toula! Best lamb! If I ever return to Sudbury, I m making a bee-line for this place. I may even return just to go here again!
My family loves this style of food. We like to go here for lunch when it s quiet and the workers are nice
Took two of my closes friend out for a Christmas dinner on me (my treat). Then we toured there area home looking at Christmas lights. It was a great evening out with two fabulous people.
Food was excellent service was great
Loved the food,the hostess was terrible
Excellent!
Excellent food and service, nice atmosphere
Great food & service!
Fantastic
Great food and great service.
Great food and fabulous service. Quite pricey though.
Recently weve tried the lamb at a couple of other restaurants. It was O.K. Then we went back to the Apollo. Of course we had to start with the Saganaki. OPA! There are several lamb options, We went for the marinaded lamb shank. The meat falls off the bone. The marinade is delicious. The vegetables fresh and nicely prepared. This was a meal for our little celebration. AND Toulas little greek food boutique is lovely. Added to the best olive oil from Sparta are a variety of other Greek treats, including the saganaki cheese we love to prepare at home. And so many delicacies. Every table was full. Service was great. A place to go back to.
I ordered delivery. Moussaka was stone cold and still slightly frozen in the middle. And I m pretty sure the dolmades came from a can, as I occasionally buy tinned dolmades I m quite familiar with the flavour and texture.
We ordered a greek salad at the price of $12 and were very disappointed. It was very small, hardly any ingredients and no dressing. If this is how you treat your customers, count us out.
Last Saturday I took my parents here to celebrate my Dad s 82nd Birthday. My parents loved their meals. They both had the lamb shanks and said they were excellent. We had a table in a quiet corner which my dad really appreciated. The service was great as well. The more traditional restaurant setting was really key you the evening s enjoyment.
Ordered the lamb shank with a side greek salad. The meal was cold and the salad was not a greek salad, the was all lettuce and and a couple of kalamata olives. The waitress was very nice but my group wanted Greek food , not a poor similarity!
Authentic Greek food! Reasonable price. Super friendly waitstaff. Quick service. Love the tzatziki!
Oh what a delicious treat we had in Sudbury at Apollo Restaurant. I went in to get some of the Olive Oil and ended up staying for a gorgeous Chicken Souvlaki Lunch! LOVE Apollo!
Ordered from Apollo through Skip the Dishes. Very expensive for the quality. Octopus served with brown, wilted lettuce and old lemon. Chicken skewers- dry. Small portions. Don t bother.
Great place for a quiet evening and wonderful food, I had the Greek Connection, homemade Moussaka, Greek salad and souvlaki meat stick with rice and Greek roasted potato. My favourite go to dish, never disapoints. Cathy our server was terrific very attentive and helpful. nice
Great restaurant with awesome food and an awesome owner! You rock Toula.
This was my first time dining at Apollo. It was a very good experience. I had a great meal with good service and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely return.
Friendly staff and owner Food is always delicious Great service
We went to the Apollo to treat ourselves to a lovely Greek meal. The service was fantastic! The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection--it quite literally made me soooooo happy! We most definitely will be stopping by for more meals here.
Excellent food, high quality with a homemade feel. No microwave-in-a-bag meals here, this place makes their own. Never had a bad meal. Family owned, this is a longtime stalwart in Sudbury.
We had a lovely meal myself for my girlfriend I only have to say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for what you done for the veterans of Sudbury its very thoughtful of you your business and I hope to be back there on another occasion I thank you very much I read the reviews on on your place and some were not the best but they what can we do but again I thank you very much for the lovely evening we had and a lovely meal beautiful thank you
Food and drinks were fabulous. Even bought the famous Olive oil.
Delicious authentic Greek fine dining
What a beautiful surprise during my visit to Sudbury
1st visit for me. I was joyfully overwhelmed by the service and the cuisine. Absolutely fantastic... cant wait to get another opportunity to return
Friendly staff and excellent food in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Whether you want a quick meal or a want to linger over a full course dinner this is the place to go.
Always delicious and the staff is so friendly!
Great friendly staff good selection
Loved it.
Thank you Tuula for a lovely evening, and delicious food and drink. You made us feel so welcome!
Great food and a really nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff and host.
If you like Greek food. You must go.
Great service, delicious food. Thank you for a lovely meal! My (almost) 2 year old loved it too!
A fantastic, authentic, Greek experience serving Sudbury since 1970. The bruchetta appetizer was exceptional and while I had high expectations for the lamb and it delivered very well. The coconut pie was top notch. We were very pleased with the service and would highly recommend this unique restaurant.
Had their Lamb rack, was amazing! Great atmosphere, service was great, food was great, highly recommend!
Octopus was as good as I had in Portugal was very impressed
Service top notch. Food great except lambchop was overcooked. Should be medium or less. Desert a five..the custard centred Phylo. Wow if youre custard lover. A historical place with a good vibe.
Awesome Greek fare - love the Lamb souvlaki :)
Fantastic!
never had better authentic Greek food
Great place, food is good and service is perfect. Thanks!
Great food , great service, great place.
Fantastic food beautiful setting friendly staff highly recommended
Real Greek food....escargot like you wouldnt believe. Original and affordable!
Wonderful food and a lovely place to take your family for dinner or special occasions
We have been the The Appollo several times but this time was not a good experience. The Service was slow and one of owners not Tula ticked us off when she noticed that we were still expecting three more people. When she asked me if they were coming I said I wasnt sure. Well she said thats too bad because we could have used the table because they were turning people away. I was totally taken back with her remark. All 7 of us were ready to walk out when our other guests arrived. Later I had words with her and she apologized. This was my birthday dinner which started as a real downer. My lamb chop was over overcooked and I could hardly cut it. I never got my Greek salad which came with the meal. Just a bad experience for us this time. ALSO they do not provide a handicap bathroom. I find this strange since there are so many seniors in Sudbury. How can a person in a wheel chair climb stairs to go to the bathroom. Its about time they cater to the seniors and update their bathroom facilities after all they have been I business for a long time.
Enjoyed a delicious lunch (gyros, souvlaki, sandwich special) with efficient and friendly service. Perfect venue for a family lunch.
when I went I wasn t feeling good so just had a soup, it was good. A bit over priced but good.
Good service, fair prices & great food.
Excellent food!
Excellent lamb shank and moussaka!!!!!
A hometown favourite
Great atmosphere.
Excellent food. Lamb was amazing! Will have to come back
Great food and better service. It was a pleasure dining here. I had the veal parm and it was perfect.
Nice Restaurant
Service was excellent! Souvlaki was excellent!
Excellent food and atmosphere!
Very good awesome service
Simply AMAZING!!! Ive lived in Sudbury for over 20 years and had never been to Apollo until recently. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Toula during a business meeting, what a wonderful talented woman! Not only was my lunch special to die for, she also now has a food market with all her homemade food! You have to try the stuffed olives :)
Wonderful place to celebrate with family and friends
Mmmmm! Delicious!
A fantastic meal with a beautiful staff and owner. So welcoming and friendly!!
Authentic and impeccable service.
The food was fantastic. The wait staff was attentive, diligent, courteous and friendly even with a packed restaurant. We were seated right away even without a reservation and were treated to a wonderful meal at a cozy table for two. The prices are high but well worth it for the quality of the food being served. I would definitely recommend the Apollo to anyone looking for a excellent Greek meal.
