Acropolis Greek Taverna

Great location! Amazing customer service! We arrived early for lunch on a Friday and our waitress was very attentive and answered all our questions. First time here and decided we will be back again! The white sangria (sweet) was absolutely dreamy! The food was delicious! I highly recommend this place!

First off, let me start by saying, the food is good. I have eaten plenty of Greek food over the course of my life and the quality of the food here fits the criteria. We started with the appetizer sampler which consisted of a few spreads. I was disappointed that they did not have taramosalata which I had to ask the server three times as she kept saying tirosalata. Not a deal breaker for me and also hard to get it right if they did have it anyway. We also had the octopus which was soft and not rubbery which was satisfying to see. We ran low on pita bread slices and asked for more during our appetizer but they never showed up. During our appetizer the waitress added more water to our glasses which spilled all over the dips we were eating. Again, not a big deal. The water dripped so much that it ran all the way to the end of the table and was dripping on my co-workers' leg. We asked for extra napkins to clean it up ourselves but they never came either. It took about 10 minutes for the napkins to arrive. Our waitress seemed annoyed with an attitude for some reason and was more interested in the table next to us who was having a party. I guess since it was more people maybe she felt she would get a bigger tip, who knows. I ordered a gyro with tzatziki on the side with no tomatoes which again she seemed very annoyed about. Guess that gave her a little extra work to do. My order did come out correctly surprisingly but the dinner was brought out before we even had a chance to finish our appetizers. Again, we were still waiting on more pita bread while our waitress was partying with the next table. No biggie. The lamb from the gyro was quite tasty, I got a side of rice which complimented my dish as well. Towards the end of our meal when our waitress started cleaning off the table, a light bulb went off in her head and she remembered about the pita bread which she wanted to bring which didn't make sense as we were getting ready to leave. When we first got there, a man who was greeting guests was so nice and wish we had him as our waiter for the night, there was also another very nice gentleman who came around asking if we were okay and perhaps he was the owner. Either one of them would have made our night better then the waitress we had for our table. But service aside, the food was really good. Coming from N.Y. I have eaten some amazing Greek food so I kind of have a high standard and this restaurant fit the bill for food. For service, like I said, if we had someone else waiting on us, perhaps that part of the experience would have been better to warrant a five star experience.

We had a great meal at the Acropolis in Ybor City. They had great happy hour drink specials that we didn’t try but wanted to mention. The gyro (not pictured) and gyro platter were both excellent. Service was great. Seemed like a regular group at the bar having a great time. Great vide, food, and service. Will definitely be back.

One of the best Greek spots in the country. The food and service Jose was great. You have to try the stuffed mushrooms 🍄.... As always the Gyro meal and some nice kabobs...

Wish I could add a video. The dancing, plate breaking, and napkin throwing was awesome! We did have to wait forever for someone to wait on us but when our waiter did come over he was great and the food made up for it !
