“ Casual eatery, plenty seating, located in same plaza as Walmart. For $10+tax, the special for a limited time which was the Works was a good deal. It came w beef and lamb gyro. It was a little dry but the employees gave me more tzatziki when I asked for it. The fries were crispy and I was given a mildly spicy sauce to try w them which was tasty but prefer tzatziki. ”
“ Food was on point! I had the Pita The Eorks with Beef & Lamb and a side of Greek salad. What a great special for 9.99 definitely worth the stop. Not only was the food great, the service was also stellar. Server was nice, friendly and accommodating. Thank you so much for your kindness. While I only asked for a side of Taziki she was happy to provide. With my poor service I received from a cafe today. This made my day. Thank you! I'll be back!! ”
“ I think I found my new addiction!!! Apola is in the WalMart plaza with plenty of parking. This is a counter service restaurant. Ordering was super easy, customer service had great vibes and there's plenty of indoor seating. Restroom is in the back and is clean. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro with a side rice. The gyro comes with beef/lamb, tzatziki, tomatoes, onion and fries. The combination is amazing! It has so much flavor and I love there's a combination of soft and crunch. I loved the fries and tzatziki so much, I went back to order a side of fries and a side of tzatziki/pita. I'll definitely be coming back! ”
“ Tasty wraps and love how I can get a side of grilled vegetables, they give you quite a lot I couldn't even finish it. They have a really good special now where you can get The Works wrap with a side and it's really a good deal! ”
“ I was craving a chicken gyro since I had one the day before from an event and I wanted more but didn't want to be amongst the busy crowd. Upon entering the establishment, my friend and I were warmly welcomed by the staff with genuine smiles, setting a pleasant tone for our dining experience. I decided to indulge in the pita chicken gyro with a side of fries, a choice that exceeded all expectations. The chicken was flawlessly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavors that harmonized seamlessly. Every bite exuded a delightful umami sensation that left me craving more. Their chicken gyro definitely exceeded my expectations and was so much better than the one I had the day before. The overall ambiance of the venue was tranquil and inviting, a perfect setting for enjoying a meal without distraction. I even ordered food to go for my fiancé and they agreed that it was delicious. I had a great experience and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a gyro filled with delicious goodness. ”
“ Made it there during lunch hour. Don't recommend if you have a short lunch (opt to order online or something. They had a long line. Food is good but not Greek Authentic. The staff try to move fast and they're nice. Ambiance is fast casual. ”
“ - Vibes: 4/5 (cute, diner-y) - Crowd: 4/5 (can get busy at lunchtime) - Menu: 5/5 (lots of options, build ur own plates) - Value for price: 4/5 (very expensive but med food often is) - Parking: 5/5 (shopping center) Came here for a work lunch on a Thursday around 11:45, and waited ~5 min in line before ordering. It's a walk-thru build your own plate style place, slightly Americanized Greek food (think fries in your gyro). They serve a good amount of protein in the bowl but as Mediterranean food often is, it was expensive. I paid over $20 for a basic bowl (Aug 2024). The servers worked quickly despite the crowd. I got a Greek salad with the beef/lamb gyro and tzatziki/eggplant sauces. The meat was tender and flavorful, and I loved the eggplant mash- a weird seedy texture but it was smoky and paired great w the pita. The Greek salad had huge chunks of feta which was delightful, but the salad was SUPER oily and ended up making my whole bowl very wet. A solid lunch spot, but not the most superb quality I've had at a Mediterranean place. ”
“ Food: I ordered the shrimp souvlaki pita with lemon butter rice, cucumber dill, mixed greens, tomatoes, red onion, with a garlic spread, and topped with French fries. It was great! I love the seasoning they have on their fries. For a fast food gyro I think that their ingredients were well seasoned and had good flavor. I also decided to try their lemon loux which was very refreshing and went well with my pita. The serving size was very large and I enjoyed the meal. Service: It took about 5 minutes for them to prepare my shrimp which didn't bother me because I was able to have hot, fresh seafood. The employees were wonderful and so nice. This is my second time trying this place and I think it's a great stop for a fast food gyro if you're in the mood for a quick bite. ”
“ It's a chain and it has that Panda Express/Chiptole set up, BUT the food is good and a great deal in this economy. It's also a healthy alternative to getting junkier foods. It's in the same plaza as Walmart, but still plenty of parking. When you get inside, you get in line, and when you get to the counter you let the employee know what you'd like to order. I usually get the plate and I've attempted to order fries as a side, but every time I do they either don't have any or they have a dinky amount left :( All in all though, it's pretty tasty and a quick meal when I don't feel like cooking. ”
