Acropolis Restaurant and Catering

Bert Stewart

Don't be fooled this is no longer Acropolis. It is a bad diner that has some of the old menu from the Acropolis down in a basement. The Acropolis was one of the best things about Evansville. This is a disgrace to the good name of a fantastic restaurant. Sadly I will never be back.

I brought family from out of state to the new Riverwalk location. There was almost no actual Greek food on the menu. Instead, it felt like we were dining at a VFW. Having traveled extensively overseas and knowing the vibrancy of Mediterranean food, the disappointment we felt cannot be overstated. My vegetables were canned and overcooked, everything was underseasoned and more appropriate in a nursing home, rather than affliated with Acropolis, who is known as one of the best places in the city.

My wife and I visited the Acropolis Restaurant to have a rather nice brunch whilst running around Evansville. Upon arrival, the building looked to be in good repair and the parking lot around it was very clean and not crowded. Once we entered, I gave the host a warm, mask muffled, "Yassas!" (γειά σας! - Greek for 'Hello' - formally). Unfortunately, the gentleman was slightly lost to say the least. You could say that I was speaking Greek to him! (insert rim shot!) The restaurant was slightly dim, but I felt that it added to the Mediterranean feel with all of the relics, paintings, sculptures, and décor. Not to mention the tile designs that they had on the floors and walls, simply beautiful! There is of course, fantastic traditional and modern Greek music playing over the restaurant speakers. It wasn't too loud to be disruptive and it wasn't too quiet to not be pleasantly noticed either. We were seated almost immediately with no waiting. Our table was clean and disinfected via covid-19 regulations and was next to a window which was also clean, sill included. The flooring was well swept, not sticky, and had no mop residue. The restroom (men's) was a little less lighted than I would prefer, smelled OK, not great, but you could tell that it was a restroom. The floors appeared clean and free of debris, and there was plenty of soap and paper towels. The waiter was very attentive, but not overbearing. We had a deluge of separate dishes that seemed to have arrived from Greece itself! The flavors were astounding; aromas engulfed you senses; and the visual presentation caused anticipatory salivation! We enjoyed everything from the gyros (yee-ro, the 'g' is not pronounced in Greek) platter to the smothered lamb shanks, and as always, a delicious shot of Ouzo to top it off! If you don't like licorice (black ropes), you won't like this liquor! The have plenty of other spirits and wines to compliment your meal. The PQA for this meal was great. We received a generous portion of food, that was very pleasing to the palate, and it was all at an affordable price. It is always worth the time of day to visit this little sliver of Greece that we have here in Evansville! We will be back soon, eager to satiate our hunger for Greek cuisine! Opa!!!

The building was clean and attractive. There was plenty of space between parties. I didn't like the food, but it was my first time eating Greek food. It may be great Greek food. My companion loved the food and tells me she always does. One star off because our server didn't do a good job keeping my drink filled, a pet peeve of mine.
