Best WLM Reviews
Older classic diner that was recommended by my local car dealer when getting service. It's very rustic in a nice way with a warm homey feel with lots of wood. The menu is fairly typical Greek diner style but they also sell some Arabic and Turkish products by the counter went with the classic biscuits and gravy with a side of two scrambled eggs. This had very thick.and rich sausage gravy which is sure to fill your stomach. I felt there was a bit too much black pepper in it for my taste, but you may like that. The scrambled eggs helped mellow it out. The coffee was OK and smooth, refilled frequently. The wait staff was super friendly. I would like to try some of the other classic dishes here and see if how that is
But for now, I would give this 3.5 stars, until I am back on this area again.
Great tasting Food Great customer services and the restaurant was very clean this was my first time eating here and I highly recommend. The cowboy burger was delicious fat and juicy 10 out of 10 most try again
Horrible.
Upon entry into the diner, there was a very strong smell of ammonia or similar cleaning solution.
The food arrived very quickly. However, the coffee tasted like sugared water, the home fries tasted like they were cooked in rancid grease, and the eggs were tasteless.
The waitress came to ask me if I wanted a box, and when I told her no, she asked if something was wrong. I kindly explained that the food didn't taste very good. She stood there a moment, seemingly contemplating what to do next. She left and returned with the check (and ALL of the food on the bill even though I had about 3 bites of it).
I strongly do not recommend eating here.
Always have had good food there. Not the speediest diner but good food. The menu needs to be updated. Many times they do not have my first choice and the prices are now way off, the wait staff acknowledges that the menus are not up to date, that can be misleading. The prices are still good compared to other places but in the last year have gone up twice with the menu still reflecting the old prices and you don't know until you get the bill. When asked to honor the advertised price in the menu they say they cannot do it. It has happened several times in the last two months.
If it wasn't for the food, I wouldn't come here. I would never bring out of towner here. This place is truly lost in the 80's. I. Counted 5 bulbs not working. The booths are so worn you can see the insides. The waitress try to clean but there is little you can do to improve that. The decor is horrid. You can tell ownership changed and it's not Greek anymore. When it Greek, you know it's Greek. The bathrooms were disgusting. Only one bulb worked in there and it wasn't above the toilet. Maybe that's a good thing? There was no toilet paper on wall and only found out after sitting. Because no light. So I had to do the poopie shuffle walk in hopes I would find the rescue toilet paper under the sink. Not easy when toilet seat is broken. Only one roll left. The owner ( Manger) was as unfriendly as ryou can get. While paying he kept swinging around towards himself to check for tip. Grumbled when there wasn't one. We all know what that means. We took care of our waitress with cash.
In my opinion, there are not enough legitimate diners in the greater Melbourne area. Thankfully, Apollo Diner has been a staple locally for decades, situated on Hibiscus east of the mall. It's a Greek diner specializing in all day breakfast, sandwiches, and classic Greek dishes.
I recently had lunch at Apollo Diner with my wife and I decided to try something new called pasticcio. It caught my eye as something I had never heard of before. I looked it up and it was described as "Greek lasagna". Sounds good to me! I ordered it, and I'm so glad I did. Holy cow is this good!!!
When you see it on the plate you really do think immediately of lasagna, but upon closer inspection, it's more like baked ziti on top of shepherds pie. On top is a thick layer of ricotta-like cheese (but it's not ricotta) with a custard-like consistency. I can't wait to go back and try it again!
Service was fantastic and the place was clean. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable! Highly recommended for any meal!
I have my own diner at home that I go to all the time, but when on travel I like to find a similar local, family run place to eat. This is it. The people are great, lots of options on the menu, special requests are never a problem, the price is great. What's not to love. We hit this place EVERY DAY on our last trip. And this is the second time we've been in town and go here every time.
Shout out to the Stuffed French toast!! Wow. I did get it with oatmeal, so it would be healthy don't worry. ???? The Popeye omelet was good and the baklava is fantastic. Oh yeah, you have to check out the rotating array of baked goodies too. Grab one at breakfast so you have a snack during those long boring meetings. I wish I had taken pictures, but the food and conversation was so good I forgot. Maybe next time.
Confession, I told my diner at home they had to make me the stuffed French toast when I got home. They are working on it but not yet as good.
We've lived in Melbourne for 30+ years, and this was our 1st time eating here! Was greatly surprised by the quality and quantity of food. Definitely on my return to eat spot!
