Acropolis Restaurant

This place has fantastic food and is great for any size group. They have a great atmosphere and vibe, and you can smell the food before you even open the door. Service is always great and they can accommodate children and gluten allergies — always a plus. You often see the owners walking around and talking to the customers; this is a nice touch and makes everyone feel like they are a part of the family.

My husband and I ate lunch at this restaurant on a day trip to Evansville. We love good mom-​and-​pop greek restaurants. My husband had the gyro sandwich. The tzatziki sauce has a strong dill flavor but it is very good. I had the tortellini in a cream sauce with gyro meat. We would absolutely eat there again if we were in the area.

Portion size is pretty big but good. Try the lamb shank. Service is pretty quick and servers are attentive.

Beautiful inside and out! Best place in town for lunch and a unique dinner experience at night. Ask about the VIP room and upstairs banquet rooms. They are perfect for rehearsal dinners or birthday parties.

We went to dinner there recently for a friends birthday. We had reservations at 7pm. We arrived at 7:00 and didn’t even receive our drinks until 7:45. We waited 25 minutes for white wine because it was being chilled. Both couples bottles of white were served warm. The server seemed very scatter brained and the server helping her bus our table said she would be back soon and was off having a conniption fit. The oso bucco and chicken were over cooked and dry. There were many more issues that would take too long to list. We will not be back and I can’t see them staying in business much longer.

My meal was good. On my husbands meal they were out of a side dish and they didn’t acknowledge it until he asked. Because our waitress never checked on us he was finished with his meal when he asked about his missing side. They didn’t even offer to take anything off the bill until he told them they needed to. So guess what… Waitress didn’t get her tip. She was horrible.

Amazing food! Service depends on who is serving, but Doros is always friendly and engaging. The humus is second to none in this city! Excellent gyros as well. Very happy when we eat here. and we will be back.

This is very good Greek restaurant. Not your mom and pop gyro shop. Very nice full bar, and ambient. Friendly and prompt service. Plenty of parking. Free pita chips. Generous and well balanced dishes.

I was so disappointed with this restaurant tonight. Our family has eaten here in years past but it had been quite some time. First of all, it was raining outside and water was leaking in a door in the dining area and splashing our daughter. When we were trying to figure out where it was definitely coming from, we discovered a mushroom was growing from between the kick plate of the door and the actual door itself. Really?
The light that hung over our table had so much dust in it, I guarantee it hadn’t been cleaned in years. And I could go on about the dirty greenery hanging from above us as well but I won’t…
The service was adequate. But slow. The food was average. The gyros were good. The Greek salad was too. The pasta was bland as well as the chicken. So overall the food wasn’t bad.
My concern was the uncleanliness of the dining Area. If the dining area was that dirty what does the preparation area look like. Yuck!

This place offers great authentic food made by great authentic Greek owners. Doris and Ellada, the owners, know how to create a wonderful meal and atmosphere. Their recently remodeled space is another draw since it truly gives off an authentic ethnic feel.

definitely our favorite restaurant in evansville. great place to bring the family. ask for the house specials and let the chef choose your meal for you! save room for dessert, because the spanakopita is the best i’ve ever tasted.

Food is overpriced and the service is SLOW.
The food is often bland and lacks Mediterranean character. The gyro meat tastes processed and filmy.
I have eaten there 3 – 4 times and can only halfheartedly recommend lunch. That’s only if you have nowhere to be quickly after lunch and are ok with spending $ 12-​$ 18 for lunch.

Went on Valentine’s Day 2014. We had a reservation and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was excellent. The food was the best we have had in a long time. We splurged on dessert and got the Baklava. It was so good. I would go just for it. Definitely will be our pick next time we are able to dine out.

Well, not as Vegetarian friendly as we thought. Yes they could make any pasta Vegetarian, but we didn’t go for pasta. Staff was nice, but probably will not be back.

Fantastic dinner. We started with the best hummus and some dolmades I have ever had. Main course was the pork commandaria and it was fantastic. The menu says «Pork tenderloin sautéed in a white wine, thyme and mushroom sauce over rice with asparagus.» The sauce makes this dish. They use a sweeter Greek wine and I absolutely loved it. My business companion (who is Lebanese) had lamb shanks and couldn’t stop raving about them. And we finished with baklava and another pastry for desert which were of course also amazingly good.
We were able to meet the owner who came out to check on us and our server was quick, friendly and very helpful recommending dishes and taking extra care of us.
I a Weill definitely go back the next time I am in town!

We visited for lunch on a rainy Saturday. I had the Dolmades (grapevine leaves stuffed with spiced ground beef, rice, and herbs — like mint! — and topped with marinara sauce). Sides: roasted potatoes and a zucchini-​squash combo. My companions had the Gyros platter, each with different sides.
The server was sensitive to gluten-​free needs, and service was fine.
If you’re in Evansville, and hungry for Greek cuisine, then this is the place to go.

I visited this restaurant last night while on business in Evansville. I was disappointed with just about the whole experience. First when I arrived, I sat at the bar to have my meal. There was no bartender for the first 10 minutes. It was obvious the restaurant was understaffed. I was put back into great spirits by the heavy pour or scotch, Bonus! I then decided to order the Lamb Ribs. The ribs came out already sliced and very mushy. It seemed the ribs were sitting in a broth waiting for the «lucky» customer to order them to eat. The ribs tasted fatty and full of broth, yuck, and slapped on the grill just to heat them up. Not my idea of ribs. The vegetables were good and enjoyable.
It was disappointing to see 2 other customers complain about their meals as well.
Note To Owners: Stop cutting corners with the staff and take care of the food and customers.

Came with our group of 6 ½ around 2pm-​3pm today and it was quite empty so we were seated quickly. The server was nice and ensured all our drinks were refilled without us asking. This being our first time here, we didn’t realize how much food there was going to be!
I ordered the gyro platter and couldn’t even finish half of it because there was a ton of food. I guess my only discomfort with my food was that my pita bread was chopped into triangles; I like my gyros wrapped like a sandwich. My husband got the Mousakka and that was a hearty dish; almost like a shepherd’s pie with meat on the bottom and layered with mashed potatoes on top. We were pleased with our food, looking forward to trying different dishes the next time we go back.

I really miss the Acropolis! It is a great place to eat, whether you are on a romantic date or if you are out with your friends. It caters to just about everyone. Inside is quite spectacular, although sometimes the service is hit and miss.
The food is really good. I don’t think there is one dish that I have ever tried that I didn’t like or wasn’t satisfied with. They always bring you fresh pita bread. One is plain, one is fried (or maybe toasted) with some kind of salty, garlic seasoning. And they serve it with a cinnamon butter. My mistake is usually filling up on pita, but it is so good. Especially if you order some hummus or tzatziki.
Both of the salmon dishes are my favourites. The salmon is always perfectly cooked, I love the asparagus and it is the perfect amount of food, enough to fill, but not enough to give you that «I’m so full I’m going to be sick» feeling. The gyro platter was nice, but a lot of food. I have also had the pasta with scallops, which was nice, but not my favourite. My best friend always gets the Gyro Tortellini and swears by it. We don’t usually get dessert as we are usually stuffed by the end of our meal, but on one occasion my best friend and I opted for dessert. They happened to have a Rose Cake that day, in fact I don’t think that they have ever offered it again, but it was amazing! It was so delicate and it had the slightest taste of Rose in it as it had some rose water in it and it was so moist and not at all too rich after a big meal.
If you haven’t been, you should go!
