The Apollo Cafe

This was a nice little spot. Located on Forbes Avenue & just a few minutes walk away from the Hilton Garden Inn, Apollo's hit the spot for my breakfast hunger needs. Best part? The PRICES are affordable. I ordered a western omelet with potatoes & bread, and the total was only around $9! There are a concern, though. You have to get your own water if not buying a bottle. And if you want it, you scoop it yourself out of a community ice bucket. That may be a little unsanitary because you never know whose hands have been where. The ambience of the restaurant is okay. It seems like it is really for working, on the go people. But the food is really good abd the people are nice.

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 spread the love.

Went here for the first time this morning, and ordered my eggs over medium. Apollo Cafe was the first place I'd ever ordered over medium eggs and actually got the over medium eggs I asked for. I was so happy I was nearly moved to tears. I probably should have taken a picture. Either way, breakfast was absolutely perfect.
