My first time was lunch, my second time was breakfast, and I enjoyed both meals equally. Great service, excellent food, and moderate prices. It reminded me of the Greek diner's in N. Y. that I ate at quite often. When I'm in Melbourne the Apollo Diner will be one of my go to places.

Thankfully, Apollo Diner has been a staple locally for decades, situated on Hibiscus east of the mall. It 's a Greek diner specializing in all day breakfast, sandwiches, and classic Greek dishes.I recently had lunch at Apollo Diner with my wife and I decided to try something new called pasticcio. It caught my eye as something I had never heard of before. I looked it up and it was described as Greek lasagna . Sounds good to me! I ordered it, and I 'm so glad I did. Holy cow is this good!!!When you see it on the plate you really do think immediately of lasagna, but upon closer inspection, it 's more like baked ziti on top of shepherds pie. On top is a thick layer of ricotta-like cheese (but it 's not ricotta) with a custard-like consistency. I can 't wait to go back and try it again!Service was fantastic and the place was clean. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable! Highly recommended for any meal!

There was no toilet paper on the wall, and I discovered this only after I’d sat down in the dark. So, I had to awkwardly shuffle my way to the sink, hoping to find some rescue toilet paper under there. This wasn't made easier by the broken toilet seat. There was just one roll left. The owner/manager was incredibly unfriendly. While I was paying, he kept turning around to check for tips and even grumbled when he didn't see one. We all know what that implies. However, we made sure to take care of our waitress with cash.
