    Not a good dining experience at all. Food made me and my husbands stomach hurt. We were served food but NOT given utensils. Had to flag down server for everything. Not given appetizer plates. Been to location in New Tampa numerous times and it was always delicious. Will not return to this location. I do not recommend.

    I love this place! Never disappoints. We tried the sangria and also the appetizer with four different dips. I could eat the feta dip and pita bread all day long. The gyro was also excellent.

    The food was delicious. Ordered the salmon with potatoes, beef and chicken kabob. The Greek salad was to die for. I loved the pita bread with the cream sauce. The ambiance, Positive energy, I loved it will be returning.

    Will return. High ceiling; inviting decor; good foods; slow service; the surrounding area has character - with a few preserved buildings (I hope). We’ve flaming cheese - gimmicky - turned hard quickly; stuffed mushrooms; octopus 🐙 (the garlic on top is the 🍒); 🍤 with breads. I think the yummiest is their freebie - hot flatbread with garlic dip. The Greek red is on the raw side. The area is worth a walk around.

    Such a great place to always go to! We stopped for dinner and this Chicken Kabob was perfectly season, great size for my wife and I. Drinks were 2 for 1 on this beautiful Friday for outside sitting! Our server, Danielle, made these great suggestion! Definitely going back!!!

    I loved this place! My mother's side of the family is Greek and we love Greek food, so for her birthday we decided to go here. The waiter we had was so kind and down to earth, and our appetizers were amazing! We ordered the cheese that was lit on fire and it was delicious. We got dolmades and they were also amazing. I ordered a salad with chicken and it was an amazing experience. The food had so much flavor and I would go here again and again and again.

    Beautiful location and atmosphere, even for a work-lunch in the middle of the week. Menu has plenty of lunch options including large portion Salads. The salad I ordered had the jalapeños with grilled chicken. A few side notes: If you love the kick of jalapenos you might be disappointed as they are cut into tiny pieces mixed in with the tomatoes and it's almost non existent. Next time I will ask for additional jalapenos so that at least I can taste it. The chicken, unfortunately, was dry and rather chewy, which occurs when it was frozen first. Which typically that doesn't matter but the defrost process is very crucial so that it doesn't dry out. The other salad my friend ordered has gyro meat, which was delicious and fresh. In case you don't know, gyro meat is typically not gluten free because it uses breading to hold it together so it can be shaved/cut. I would definitely ask first before ordering it if you are sensitive to gluten. Overall, I definitely will go back because it was a lovely experience and they were very accommodating in my requests regarding nut allergies and special Gluten-Free and Grain-Free diet.

    They cooked my chicken extra well perfect and place looks great. I will be back for sure! Update: Came back 5 days later and chicken gyro platter was amazing again.

  • 5/5 Robert H. 11 months ago on Google
    Food, drinks, and service were great! We ordered way too much food for the two of us. Their version of a Moscow Mule was the best I’ve had. Highly recommended!

    We stopped here for late lunch. The restaurant looks clean and inviting. Friendly staff and service was good. The food was tasty and good portions. We’ll come back.

    Service was ok but not as expected. My cheesecake was served missing a piece and broken as you can see in the picture. My husband waited too long for his coffee and was servef cold!. The snapper was unflavored, very dissapointing because it was a $35 plate (no worthy). However the soups and lamb were very good. Bathrooms were dirty, ambiance not so good, music too loud. My first and last time visiting this place. Below my expectations.

    Our family chose the Acropolis to celebrate my niece's high school graduation. Our servers, Hailey & April, were simply wonderful. They were super accommodating, friendly and just ensured that we had the best time ever. The food was perfect. Most of our family members had the Athenian Fish and it was sooooo good. The manager, Danielle, along with our servers made the young lady of the day feel super special by giving her a customized congratulations presentation (napkins thrown and all). Although there are no restaurant locations in Maryland, I would definitely recommend the Acropolis restaurant to anyone for delicious food and excellent service.

    Loved our dinner here. I couldn't decide between 2 dishes so on the waiter's recommendation I got the Chicken Rhodes and was not disappointed. Food and service were both excellent.

  • 5/5 Alex P. 9 months ago on Google
    I’ve only gone there 2 times but both were some of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant, we had Jaden & Mackenzie as our servers and they were so helpful and amazing throughout the entire time! Food came out hot & fresh, even though I wished they served just a bit more calamari, however besides that no complaints! Absolutely amazing restaurant, fantastic service especially from the two wonderful ladies. Would recommend 10/10!

    If you come to Acropolis in Riverview be ready for some surprises. The waiters and waitresses dance and throw napkins in the air and break dishes. There is even a belly dancer that comes by! This was pretty cool, however I didn't't really care for the napkin throwing as one landed on my food. The food was ok. I ordered stuffed mushrooms and the gyro platter. We also ordered the 2 for 1 sangria thinking ok a glass of Sangria was maybe tops $8 or $9 and were a little shocked to find it was $18. I requested a refill on the soda I ordered, but the waitress forgot and when I asked for to go boxes she remembered and offered a to go cup which I was thankful for. In conclusion I really enjoyed the show, I wish the food tasted better, and service was good, but just missed me loving it. The sangria is pretty expensive if they aren't 2 for 1 and felt watered down.

    If you are in the mood for Greek then this is your stop! Nice large wide open atmosphere. Sitting area inside and out along with a waiting area. First thing you'll notice is the bar directly Infront of you with a decent amount of seating. Yes there are hooks for purses too :-). Chelsea was our bartender/server as we like to sit up at the bar. Chelsea was amazing! Great recommendations and very knowledgeable. Fridays and Saturdays they have a belly dancer which is fun and unique, and to add to it, 2 for 1 House Margaritas so who is complaining. Food was fantastic! Everything was fresh, hot, and flavors were on point. If you are in the Riverview area this is a great spot to add to your list!

    The food was good but not spectacular! I loved the ambiance in the restaurant and the BOGO drinks. They were a little short-staffed so the service was not amazing but the affordability of this restaurant made up for it! For our meal, we got the Ouzo Mussels (Garlic, Onions, Basil, Fresh Tomato, Ouzo, And Santorini Wine), Dolmades (Grapevine Leaves Stuffed With Rice And Greek Herbs, Topped With Crumbled Feta Cheese And Lemon Wine Sauce) - which was my favorite on the menu, and the Athenian Fish (Lightly Breaded Seasoned Fish Filet, Seasoned And Grilled With Seasonal Roasted Vegetables, Topped With Pesto Over Greek Rice). Lastly, we finished with the chocolate mousse which was the highlight of the meal. I feel like this restaurant has a lot of potentials but is lacking overall in the flavors of the food. This is a good spot if you want something on the cheaper side and you're willing to compromise with just OK food.

    Enjoyed sitting outside. Service was excellent. Food was really good. Only problems were deciding what to order and how I was going to finish it all.

  • 5/5 Regina V. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was great. The Greek salad, chicken kabob, stuffed mushrooms, and Avgolemono soup were all amazing. Can't wait to visit again to try other offerings!

  • 4/5 Mariana B. 1 year ago on Google
    We liked the environment, staff are really friendly. They have a variety of plates on the menu. The dip sample is good. Moussaka was different from what I used to eat in the other restaurants, but it was good. Salad very good with the feta cheese. Lambs were juicy and tasty.

    Our culinary explorations keep us searching for new places all the time. Our friends were in the mood for something Greek, Mediterranean, etc. I have seen this location and always thought to give it a try, so we did. Now I am sorry we waited so long. Simply perfect dining experience. Abigail was the perfect server with attention to detail and very friendly. Since we were celebrating a small event for our friends (their son completed Air Force training and was en route to his first duty assignment), we added a round of shots and Abigail helped to take a short video for us. Thank you! By the way, I had the Ouzo, the others whimped out with Lemon Drop Shots (lol). OPA! Ok, now about the grub! Starters were Saganaki, Dolmades, and Stuffed Mushrooms. All were simply perfect! I had the Greek Souvlaki Platter (pork), others had the gyro platter, Kefta Kabobs, and Chicken Kabobs. Everything was cooked perfectly. Seasoned just right, and portions were way more than enough. Prices are extremely fair for the financial times we are in. Needless to say, this is a place I can see us coming back to on a more regular basis. Excellent job by all! Thank you and OPA!
