I doubt I'll try this place again I was on a business trip this weekend and we were told about this great restaurant. Well, I understand covid and all that but this was not a thing involved in this dinner. We were taken in within 15 minutes from our arrival and placed in a large area as we were 11 of us. The ambiance and decor looks good but we were struggling with flies in our table, we were given pita bread (soft and hard and a dressing of cinnamon butter that I believe it's better with cinnamon rolls not pita bread and especially not when you want to eat a savory main dish; I was waiting more of lebne or tzaziki dressing. Anyway, it took them about 2 hrs to give us our food. A friend and...
The menu offered a selection of traditional Greek dishes as well as some American options. We opted for the lunch specials and ordered gyros, which were served with a salad and side for $7. The salads were generous portions of fresh cucumber, tomato, feta, onion, and Greek herbs - incredibly delicious and fresh. I also enjoyed a glass of house wine for $5.50, which turned out to be a lovely Kendall Jackson Chardonnay.
Our entrees arrived promptly after we finished our salads, served hot on plates wrapped in red checkered paper. We selected tabouli salad, Greek fried potatoes, Greek string beans, and sautéed zucchini as our sides. Each side dish was fresh and flavorful, with the tabouli hav...
I've been to Acropolis 5 or so times over the last 10 years and it was nice to go back now after having personally adopted a taste for a more international cuisine. Going here 5-10 years ago, I hadn't had much Mediterranean food broadly speaking so I didn't really have much to compare it to. The overall decor and ambience inside is intimate and detailed but some of the booth seats could use a resurfacing. The menu had a variety of options, but some seem to just be a bit more of an American or midwestern take on a Greek dish and less authentic. The portion sizes on the gyro platter and kota lemonati were very generous and both quite tasty. The tabouleh side dish didn't seem very fresh on this...
Ok, we went to this place a few years back and they must have been having an off day because we were marginal about going back. But WOW I am so sad that we didn't go back sooner!!! We started with the Greek Sampler appetizer and everything was very good, especially the Greek meatballs. I ordered the tortellini with gyro meat and it was MIND BLOWINGLY delicious. I could drink the creamy garlic sauce, it was so tasty!!!!! My husband got the stuffed chicken breast and he loved it. Aside from the food, the atmosphere was very nostalgic for us. We went to Santorini for our honeymoon, and sitting in Acropolis was very reminiscent of the real thing!!! It's a big building, but the rooms are sectione...

I had high hopes, but it was clear that finding good Greek food in Indiana would be a challenge. The avgolemono soup lacked any hint of lemon flavor and resembled a thick cream of chicken soup. The saganaki was disappointing, as it was served in a pool of whiskey, which was not burned off properly when our server attempted to light it. The menu featured several dishes with marinara sauce, which seemed out of place for a Greek restaurant. Our dinner was bland and arrived cold, although our server was friendly. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, but I had low expectations for finding authentic Greek cuisine in Indiana.
Acropolis provides a dining experience that is enjoyable from start to finish. Their full bar selection includes Peach Harvest and Lemon drop Martinis. The seafood pasta paired with pita triangles is perfect for sopping up the sauce, while the Calamari and artichoke dip make for a satisfying appetizer. Although I personally would have liked more feta cheese in the Greek salad, overall, it was a great meal shared with friends. We plan on coming back again soon.
This is NOT authentic Greek food. Not even close. Cinnamon butter on pita? Marinara sauce? Pile of gnawed up cheese in a dish swimming in alcohol trying to pass as saganaki. Awful. Flour and cream of chicken soup ....too thick and no lemon flavor at all..... If you think this is Greek food try leaving the area and finding real Greek food in St Louis or Chicago. I was floored. I'm Greek and this was not even close. Missed the mark by many many miles.
Lunch meeting here on Friday. Well kept secret in Evansville. Food and service was outstanding. A hidden gem. Will be back the next time I'm in E'Ville.

It's nice to change it up now and then. Acropolis is a good choice for that. The food is consistently good. It's got an authentic Greek atmosphere.
The service was good, we did not have to wait a long time to get our drinks and to order either. The food was served hot when they served it to us
