Apollo Cafe — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

Fine experiences, multiple visits. It's so rare to find a non-pretentious place with REAL food, not the modern bullcrap. It's no frills - but very clean, cozy, and nice and cold inside. Food - all on point each visit. Sandwiches, fruits, all fresh, all very well made, and very reasonable prices. The lady who owns/runs it is hands-on and heart and soul of the place. Not my cup of tea, she's got a bit of an attitude that is just too politically incorrect for me to describe properly... but seems her long term customers like her, and in the end - we don't go there to socialize we go for great food so for that reason - I have to give 5 stars. I also respect - no credit cards. -- she keeps costs down, bravo. Many eateries let credit cards, apps, delivery services make the profit, while they slave away making food - -I respect this woman for keep her business her OWN, and therefore being able to keep things simple, fresh, tasty, and reasonable. Wish them well and by the looks of things, they'll continue to...

As I walked through the doors to The Apollo Cafe I see "The Best Breakfast in Pittsburgh" catch my eye. The sceptic in me thinks ok let's see if that's right. Blew me away. This unassuming spot delivered! I had been eyeing this location for awhile today was the day. Friendly staff to take your order. If you dine-in like me they give you a number to put on the table and will bring out to you when ready. I had the most mouth watering egg white spinach feta omelette egg with roasted potatoes wheat toast. The potatoes were preboiled then lightly sauteed made crispy, just delightful. Thank you chef! Decaf coffee with friendly refill given. Nice quiet space to enjoy my breakfast. This place is AAA+ for quality food & service. Look at their prices and wonder why you haven't given them a try. CASH ONLY. There is ATM machine handy if you've forgotten cash. I'm adding to my go-to places...

Great, affordable little place in downtown Pittsburgh. It's cash only, so come prepared. Also prepare yourself for a quick line, every time it's busy. The menu is quick and authentic Greek. I'm a big fan of the tabouleh salad and the stuffed grape leaves. They're Greek staples, but they're particularly flavorful at Apollo Cafe.

The vibe is kind of cafeteria style. You walk in, go through the line and order, carry your tray to the end then pay and seat yourself. The Greek Chicken Salad is filling and the house dressing is just divine!

The table seating is somewhat close quarters and limited. But the overall dining experience is more like a quick, affordable place to grab breakfast or lunch downtown. So it's not uncomfortable for a quick bite. Love this place.

Be adventurous. Find a friend who hasn't been, and...
