Acropolis Cafe & Grill

Had simple Breakfast — eggs, bacon, home fries, toast. Eggs & home fries were tasteless. Service from Pat was below par — left me without coffee for 15 minutes. Bacon was paper thin.

I came in on a Wednesday night a few weeks back and had Chloe as my waitress. Let me start off by saying she was amazing. She was very attentive, well spoken and very polite. Our food came out in no time which was good because we had to get to church. I ordered the vegetarian pizza, kind of crunchy but it fit my vegetarian needs. My partner ordered a gyro over rice and absolutely loved it… and the Greek salad… to die for. Along with the amazing greek dressing. Chloe made sure our drinks stayed filled up at all times and helped us down the right path to getting a fantastic desert. I got one slice of coconut cake to go. We went up to the counter to pay and were greeted by two of the nicest girls, Sydney and Alexa. They first asked how our meal was and proceeded to make good conversation. The two of them made me feel at home and appreciated. One of them gave my partner and I the business card with the phone number and also told us they do carry out orders– oh my. I will be burning a hole in my pocket now. I most definitely will be making a trip back to this wonderful establishment.

This was my first time here. Just came here for dinner and the hostess that sat us was very rude. We all were having a great night until we came here. Walked in and wasn’t even greeted. She just stood there until I went up to her and asked her to be seated. She then rolled her eyes and grabbed the menus. Without saying a word she walked off so we followed. She took us to our table. We all sat down and she threw the menus and the silverware on the table and walked off. We was not going to tolerate that so we simply got up and walked out. I understand everyone has a bad day once in awhile but that no way to treat your customers. I’m a waitress myself so I understand that some days aren’t so great, but I wouldn’t treat any of my customers that way. Just hoping we caught you guys on a bad night.

Thank you Acropolis for helping make my daughter’s graduation party a success. We rented the lovely room up front, with the fireplace, and there were about 20 guests. The food was delicious, the waiter was wonderful, and everyone had a great time. Also, Joanne, the manager, helped me figure out my tech issue for the presentation I was presenting for my daughter. Thumbs up for this wonderful restaurant. I have been coming here for years and have never, not even one time been disappointed. I made the right decision selecting Acropolis for this special event! Thanks again :)

One night a week we were coming here because an evening appointment let’s us out after most other area restaurants are closed. The food is average but I know what to order that works for me. Thursday night I ordered takeout instead. The bill came to $ 24.00. They know we’re regulars. I asked if they included some tzatziki (yogurt sauce) and the cashier said she’d have to charge me if I wanted to add it. I said, «Really? Even though I ordered gyro (meat as an add on to a salad)?» She said, «Yes.»
That’s it. They’ve a lost us as customers. So short sighted.

Well all i can say is their Gyros are sub par and their rice pilaf is bland and bleh. The gyro is Kronos brand, didnt mean anything to me until today, but future places i will ask. The meat did not look fresh cut… rounded edges. I dont see what people like about this place. Have they never left town and visited a good greek place? Find another is my advice. Granted all i tried was the gyro but it was bad enough to not return. My wife said the tziki sauce was also deploreable. Advice… go elsewhere.

Stopped in real quick, first time visit. Ordered the appetizer platter & fried calamari… the best! Ate food I never eat. Coming back to dinner with rest of family very soon. The waitress, Jennifer, knows her menu & how the food is prepared! Must ask for her.

Traveling through town, stopped for quick bite. Gyro was almost more than I can eat, and very tasty. Good service. Would come back for sure.

Excellent Greek food! The hummus is the best anywhere. Not fancy, just a nice comfortable atmosphere and great staff!

The best place for breakfast I have found in the cornelius /​denver area. Very good food. Reasonable prices. Nice associates. Big restaurant so you don’t have to wait for a table on a weekend breakfast trip.
Healthy choices

Huge menu with anything one could wish for. House special chicken & rice soup is excellent. Greek salad was excellent and large with added gyro meat and grilled chicken which both were moist & flavorful. Not the best vinaigrette dressing I’ve ever had at a good Greek restaurant but still recommended. Full bar, good selection of draft beer and wines. Prompt service, big portions, tasty very reasonably priced menu. I want to tried the family recipe «baked spaghetti pie» next time…

Great restaurant, was immediately seated, had an excellent meal. I had the Reuben with the soup of the day, french onion. The sandwich was warm and melty, the soup was savoury and had a lot of melted cheese on the top. The price was only $ 6.75! Very satisfied and I intend to come back.

Greek food is specialty, of course… but the Greek salad is outstanding! I had tilapia dish, cooked well. Reasonably priced… I’ll be back.

I’ve only been here during breakfast. My grandparents seem to enjoy it so that’s our spot every few months. The service is always great. Food does seem to take a while to get to the table– busy or not. It is worth the wait, so it’s fine. Sometimes it’s extremely cold and we’ve mentioned it to the server, which she replies that they have turned the heat up, but it doesn’t really feel any different.

Love this place. Was a Quincey’s steakhouse in a past life. Now it has a lovely Greek décor. The menu is on point, desserts look terrific in display case, has a private dining room that would make for a nice rehearsal dinner option for a medium size wedding party & a nice bar. Every visit has shown to have consistently good food, some dishes were great. However, if you have an interest in real Greek wines, you need to ask for the wine list. The only reason I didn’t give it all 5 stars is that while good natured, the wait staff can be a bit slow & forgetful. My husband asked for Parmesan cheese for his Grecian pasta & he ended up leaving the table to ask for it after our server passed by several times. Otherwise-​Oopa!

Love this place! The food is very good. Great wait staff. I love the cookies you can buy at checkout.

A couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend and I stayed at a hotel for a couple of days in the middle of nowhere in North Carolina (no offense meant to anyone, but Cornelius is indeed a bit out in the middle of nowhere), or at least, that was what we thought, as part of a wedding party.
As we had drivers to take us around, we didn’t rent a car for the occasion. This was fine for most our trip, but this one afternoon, we decided to stay in and suddenly remembered that we needed to eat. Needless to say, if you are in an area in the US where you need a car to get to everywhere, you are in a bit of a hassle if you have no car. However, we did manage to find out that Acropolis Café & Grill was just up the street from where we were staying, so we walked there even if there were no sidewalks nor any clear way to cross.
Having successfully navigated the non-​sidewalked road, we found Acropolis Café & Grill, which is a Greek and Italian restaurant.
We were greeted by a really friendly woman who immediately saw that my interest besides getting some food was on the TV screen which was showing the 2016 Euro Soccer qualifications games so she seated us so that I could watch Holland play! Well done, young lady!
We ordered a couple of pizzas, settling on Italian food rather than Greek, but to encompass both cultures, my girlfriend had Greek salad on top of her pizzas! They were really great! Add to that a great Ginger Ale and a nice, quiet and atmospheric setting and I can’t help but to say I’m very pleased with our experience there… if only we hadn’t eaten so much that it was difficult to get back to the hotel afterwards. However, that’s an ENTIRELY different story. Check this place out!

Good Lamb Chops, Breakfast is a bit Heavy
Not to keen on their breakfast offerings. We normally go on Sunday after Church and the breakfast menu is a bit on the heavy side. Dinner however is a different matter. Love the Spartan Lamb Chops and my wife has been known ot pickup an order to go for me when her Church Group meets here.
Great Salads other Greek delicacies as well.
Service is always good and atmosphere is more of a diner and nothing really jumps out as striking or memorable.

One of the best things about this place is that there is rarely a wait. There’s a bit of everything here, and I am sold on their breakfast. I recommend going simple and pick up one of their specials: zeus, hera, etc. I really liked their scrambled eggs and home fries.
Prices are very fair for what you’re going, but stick to breakfast. Quick, easy, and cheap.
Coffee is virtually bottomless. They’re constantly walking by to refill your cup.
Parking is easy.

One of my parents favorite restaurants. They are frequenters that go at least every other week or so. I, however, have only been once. I had a really great experience though!
The menu had a little of everything. Even though it’s a great restaurant, they had a few Italian dishes, which is great if you’re bringing picky kids.
I tried the Pastitsio, which I’ve had at other places a few times before. It was the first time I’ve ever seen it with the noodles mixed in like that before, but I really enjoyed it. The portion size was great, especially for the price.
