Acropolis

The food was delicious we got the Mediterranean wrap(16.99) and grilled salmon (19.99) now I dont know who in the back grilled that salmon(12/23 2ish pm), but bay bayy when I tell you that salmon was in my top 5 of some of the best salmon I ever ate. The potatoes nice outside crisp while soft on the inside. The gyro meat was very tender. Our server she was really nice and attentive. Its a nice vibe I would definitely do a girls meet up or a very nice dinner there they also have a great wine selection. I definitely recommend.

I love Acropolis. The food is always great. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. My sister had eggplant rollatini, I had rack of lamb with roasted potatoes and roasted cauliflower. I added a greek salad. My mom had the snapper and lemon soup as a side, my aunt had the Santorini pasta, my husband had the gyro plate. We had fried zucchini and baked feta for appetizers. For dessert, we got chocolate eruption and lemoncello cake. The chocolate cake was moist and delicious.

This is a classic Greek Restaurant with Bar. Food is fresh. Somewhat pricey, but appropriate. More of a classy Greek place. Upscale. But prices won't scare you away. Worth the better service and atmosphere. Portion size is a little small, but it was enough. Everything is cooked to order. Heather was great. Very personable bar tender and she is the general manager. Overall worth it. Don't come sweaty after playing disc golf. Or at least slap on some cologne.

I've rarely ever give out five stars, so please take this as a standing ovation. From start to finish coming here for lunch is absolutely amazing. I walked in here, felt like I was actually underdressed and probably not a great place to bring my employee for a little group luncheon. The start of my experience with this place other than being blown away by the ambiance, at its particular price point. Waitress was absolutely amazing.SorryI didn't get her name. She was the shorter blonde hair girl. If I was still out there, would one hundred percent always request her every time I went here. Food is definitely fresh cooked to perfection even the hummus and other items that I ordered or definitely cooked with care. Highly recommend the platter.

LOVED the vibe, food and service here! Our server was very knowledgeable om the food as well and coffee coffee pour, etc. She took AMAZING care of us. Food came out hot (if needed) and everything tasted amazing. All 4 of us ate everything on our plates/bowls. HIGHLY suggest for some good Mediterranean food!

As a visitor to Killeen, I was told by more than one person that this was the best restaurant in town. I wouldn’t disagree based on my dining experience. It may look average from the exterior but step inside and you find yourself in an elegant, fine dining establishment. Our group of four shared the appetizer sampler plate and every item was great. I chose the gyro plate for my main dish and it was also very impressive. The service deserves high marks. Our waiter was always there right when we needed something and very friendly. If you live in Killeen you deserve to give this place a try.

Talk about a little gem of a restaurant! It's was so warm and cozy, even for our larger group. The service was so good and the owner came out and thanked us for coming. The food was VERY good and the portions are enough to share and still be full. The pita bread was my dad's favor part, it was soft, warm and the sauces were very good. We had a lovey time!

This is my wife and myself spot. We've been coming here for a few years. However on 10 Jan 2026 at 645pm we were turned away because we had a party of 6 for my mother in laws bday. Told by the woman at the door that they couldn't accommodate that many people. After being blind sided by that we were then told a 2 hour wait and they close at 9pm 😂 If this a reservation establishment then post that and it be known. But other reviews here show similar accommodation issues. So just be aware so you're not turned away like that.

Both romantic & casual, Acropolis appeals to the eyes just as much as to the tastes. Presentation & service were immaculate (our waitress Zima was superb), leaving diners feeling at home or in the Mediterranean. Music was subtle & peaceful, not overbearing. Pita bread has an edge of garlic and is classily soft & fresh. They will even wrap it to-go in foil if you have any left over. Our starting soups were simply divine -- my lentil was so nice & warm & my partner's avgolemono shone as if it were the light. Let me hone in on the Lemon Caper Red Snapper. Thick & perfectly done, dressed with delectable sauce rightly dotted with sizable capers, this was probably the best fish dish I've had in a decade. Absolutely a premier entree of this establishment & the Harker Heights area. My party enjoyed the decent sized Kofta meat serving with a nice cinnamon-y red sauce & the roasted cauliflower was hearty as they come. There are some really nice GF (gluten-free) options on the elegant menu & the chef will even work with you if you have specific needs or requests. Speaking of chef, it's cool to be able to look into the kitchen window from the dining room to see the hard work going on for accountability & cleanliness. I'm a big fan of transparency & the love between chefs/cooks & diners because the energy is palpable in a positive way here that makes you appreciate the experience so much more. It's too bad I've neglected this gem in the area since I particularly love Greek food. I won't anymore. It's worth mentioning again how the waitresses/servers in the room were all professional & kind! Consider me sold & you will be too.

Came here for dinner and left wanting more! We live in temple so rarely travel to harker heights, but our friends have been talking about a Greek restaurant here for months so decided to check it out! Externally it was unassuming restaurant, but inside it was nicely decorated and clean. Our waitress was attentive! I accidently dropped my fork and she replaced it immediately without being asked The four dip appetizer was amazing! The feta cheese really left an impression on us! It was cold so I got the beef stew, and it was a little watery for my taste, but overall amazing! We also got a traditional gyro wrap and absolutely loved it. We cannot wait to come back!

Consistently great food, probably the best restaurant in Harker Heights/ Kileen area. Keep up the amazing cooking.

Pleasantly surprised by this place! The interior is well-designed with mood lighting and live music at a good volume in the background so you can still enjoy your conversation. We were seated promptly and didn't have to wait. They don't have an updated drink menu which was a little bit of a disappointment, but the waitress helped me pick out a nice glass of wine. The four dips appetizer was tasty. For my entree, I had the traditional wrap with gyro meat and a side of rice. It was delicious! The serving was large and I couldn't finish it. Overall, a great experience and I hope to be back soon.

While the service could have been better, the rack of lamb was amazing and made up for it. This location is smaller than the one I've been to in Florida, but very nice decor and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

I was skeptical on going to this restaurant since I'm not a big Greek food lover, but my wife was looking for something different so we decided to try it out. So glad we did!! My wife got the lamb chops and I got the lamb shanks and OMG!! Lamb shanks are now my favorite!! The lamb was absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to trying many other dishes. If things change, I'll modify this review but I highly doubt it will. The wait staff was very attentive and courteous

I experienced Greek cuisine for the first time, and what an amazing introduction! I had the Traditional Wrap with gyro meat and lentil soup--both were absolutely phenomenal. The flavors were incredible, and the soup was warm and comforting. The restaurant had a cozy, clean atmosphere with a friendly vibe. You could tell the staff enjoyed being there, and our server, Zima, was just as fantastic as the food--attentive and welcoming! Whether it's for date night or a casual afternoon, this place is perfect for food and wine. Everything looked so good, I started eating before I remembered to snap a picture--ha ha! Big thanks to Dez for the invite! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving delicious Greek food!

I cater from Acropolis, quite often. They have excellent food! If you're feeding a group, their family packs are definitely the way to go. Their food is tasty, their staff friendly and they have great service.

The Acropolis is one of my favorite places to eat. Great ambiance, food and service. Nice place to take guests.

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing. The wait staff was poor and inattentive. The put a mandatory tip on my bill for 5 adults and a 3 yr. old. 3 of the 5 adults spent half the meal with empty drink glasses. No dessert course offered. Just absolutely poor service.

One of our favorite places to eat. Amazing food, great atmosphere. Competent friendly staff, a great place to meet friends and have a delicious meal. I Highly recommend!

Jhume, our wait staff, was very patient and helpful in making us decide on which ones we needed to try. I explained that we had not been to a Greek restaurant before and she was very understanding. Food was great!

Outstanding menu. Outstanding service. Great service. Very pleased. Very popular. Tremendous reputation We will definitely keep going. Great HOSPITALITY. VERY PLEASED WITH MENU. Cannot wait to go again. Supr place.

Wow, this place is awesome. Great atmosphere, the owner really took their time to make this place aesthetically pleasing. The food was amazing, I had the lasagna, which was cooked to perfection. Also pita bread and sauce which was delicious. Great place for a date night or a place to get some really good food.

I ordered a gyro plate to go and I was very disappointed to have my naan be the texture of a cracker. I usually eat inside but today I chose to take my food to go, I've never had issues with my food when I have eaten inside. The food is always delicious when you dine in, but when it's taken to go it's gross and old . Service dinning in is always awkward. The entire staff stands around and stares are you like they have nothing to do.

We are a group of ladies who come to eat every other month. Today we had our get together again at this location! We used to be pleased but since today many of us most likely will not return! I don't know what you are thinking but the portions you have now are absolutely 109% rude! The Gyro plate portions especially the meat is a absolute joke! I don't want to even know what a kids size looks like now! I could count my meat if it was five strips of gyros it sure wasn't more! We did hear that the staff got told to but less meat on the plates bit guess what the price didn't change! One of the ladies just had tzatziki and pita (four corners of pita ) and thatbnow cost a whopping $9 ! This needs to go back to where it was !

Amazing in every way!! I come every few months to the area for a week and will eat here at least 2 of the 4 nights I stay. Food is always tasty and fresh. Service is always on point. Ambiance makes you feel at home.

I came for a late lunch and I can't wait to go back! This was the best Greek food I've ever had, and I say this as someone who has lived in culinary Meccas like Miami, Fl and Los Angeles, CA. Most of the time when I read a menu, I find just a handful of things that I would want to order, but at Acropolis I found myself wanting to try everything on the menu. I'm definitely going to be coming back regularly to give each item a try. For this time, my husband and I ordered the baked feta, he got the gyro plate, and I had the mussels. Our server was kind enough to offer to prepare the first two servings of the baked feta for us, demonstrating the intended way of enjoying the plate. This added so much to our experience. The gyro plate came with a fresh tzatziki sauce that tasted like it was made from scratch that morning. The gyro was succulent, and the stuffed grape leaves my husband got as a side were the best we'd had anywhere. The roasted potatoes as his other side were crispy and spiced with garlic. My baked mussels were in a perfect garlic-forward, tomato sauce, which we enjoyed with the potatoes. Our server was kind enough to offer some fresh mint leaves, straight from her home garden, for my tea. We spotted the owner when we entered, ensuring that we received prompt service. The decor was pleasant, and it was an overall warm and comforting experience on a such a frigid day.

Delicious food. Friendly service. Nice restaurant for a date! Reasonably priced. We'll be back!

The food was great. I appreciated the friendly service, and cozy ambiance! The steak kabobs and roasted cauliflower were delicious.

I just absolutely love their lamb chops they are the best in town. everything about the place is wonderful. The company is amazing. The servers are very nice. It's a amazing just being there.

One of the best restaurants in Killeen - great ambiance and serves authentic Mediterranean food, hidden away in a strip mall off of the highway. Falafel, potatoes, tiramisu, baklava, and pasta were all amazing. Great service too.

We stopped in for dinner one night & was pleasantly surprised how romantic the inside was! We were expecting it to be more of a fast-food kind of place, I guess. The wine selection was extensive, so I asked the waiter for his recommendation for a red wine. He brought us a cab & a Malbec, which were both amazing! We learned that they're actually made by the owner himself, which was pretty cool. We ordered the flaming saganaki, which is imported Greek cheese lightly grilled & flamed table side with brandy. It tasted SO good & it reminded me of a grilled cheese sandwich. The presentation with the fire was pretty cool to watch, just wish it came with a little more veggies. Then we ordered the eggplant rollatini which was also delicious. It was definitely a hearty dish & the flavors were spot on. I don't know how my husband ate it all because it was so filling! I was boring & just got a Greek salad, but it was equally yummy & was good sized. We later learned that almost all of the meals could be made vegan by switching out the meat for falafel, so we will definitely be going back to try more items on the menu!

Yelp 2008-2022; still going strong and wanted to feature a local spot in Central Texas for my 1000th review. If you're a regular follower I just pushed Paula Deen and butter galore into the 999 slot. So, my hungry friends welcome to Acropolis in Harker Heights, Texas. We've been exploring the Killeen/HH/Temple/Belton food scene recently as one of our favorite car club couples lives in the area. Not exactly my turf but we're discovering this area has an uncanny amount of restaurant diversity. Houston being a similar destination where you can get just about any global cuisine you desire. Around Austin the Greek scene is hit or miss so it was time to find some flaming Kasseri and then order half the menu. I had forgotten how much I love this dish. Dump some high proof alcohol (usually a Greek Brandy or Ouzo) on it and light it up! Once the flames settle you're left with a delicate treat. Buddy always orders Calamari so that's the next dish that hit the table. Nice bites but I wished it was paired with a different sauce. Normally a delicate Aioli or even Marinara. I love Tzatziki but it doesn't have to come with 3/4 of the appetizers. Next up Dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves) which had a lovely filling and texture. Bring on the traditional Gyro for me! I love this dish, but don't really do lamb in other forms. The spit fired mixture of beef and lamb together tames the traditional gaminess of the meat. Paired with simple crispy potatoes it was a fine version and something I don't get to have very often. GF has been working on her roughage intake and the Greek Salad fit that bill nicely. I did steal an olive for good measure; miss eating those too. Buddy Mike had the full on taste of everything including two types of Spanakopita, Steak Souvlaki, Kofta, Gyro meat, Tiropita, and buttered rice. Here's an OPA! to 1000 and yall check this place out!

Drove over 20 minutes to try this restaurant and was told the kitchen closes at 8:30, it was 8:38 and everything says they're open until 9. Frustrating; I'd recommend putting your hours to 8:30 instead.

I am absolutely appalled by the service I received here. I placed a pickup order with an estimated ready time that ended up being an hour too early. An hour! I arrived 5 minutes after my original time and was told 10 more minutes. "10 more minutes" happened three times in a row. Then it was "they're boxing it up now" for another 25 minutes. It's completely unacceptable to keep a customer waiting that long without any form of communication or apology from a manager or owner. To make matters worse, when I finally received my order, it didn't include everything. A Greek restaurant somehow managed to forget the pita after an hour overdue. Also, the quality was not the same. I had a previous experience that was highlighted with great food. Tonight was different. You can tell it was rushed and not to the same standard. It's clear that this establishment has absolutely no regard for its pick up customers. It's a shame because I know the food is usually good and the restaurant was fairly busy. However, I will not return to this place and I strongly advise others to avoid calling in an order. This is a prime example of how not to run call in orders. Just eliminate the option if you can't swing it- be transparent with those using apps or call in.

Terrible Service & Poor Communication If I could give zero stars, I would. Our party of 8 waited for an hour, only to be told they couldn't seat us. No updates, no clear communication--just a complete waste of time. A restaurant should at least be able to manage reservations and seating properly, but they failed at the most basic part of their job. Avoid this place if you expect even the slightest bit of organization or respect for your time.

The BEST! Delicious food. Flavorful cooked with love. The service was outstanding. The restaurant clean clean clean! First time dining and now I'll become a regular.

Again, a letdown, unfortunately. Visited on a Saturday evening after several years with hopes that food quality may have improved. Ambience is still good, with live music and all. Dolmathes were ok and vegetable salads were fresh. Otherwise, - very limited selection of (overpriced) cocktails. - tabbouleh salad had hardly any parsley and all bulgur. - almost all cooked food was cold, dry and did not appear or taste fresh - including gyro meat, falafel , kofta, steak, spanakopita - it seemed that everything had been warmed and re-warmed. - baklava was frozen cold and dry. - servers are obviously overworked so I won't hold it against them if ours didn't even have time to come back to refill waters unless called. - 20% gratuity was automatically added ( for party of 6, and I am fine with that) but neither was it mentioned on the menu nor did the service or food live upto it. - the server asked if we were there for an occasion ( which was a graduation) and we told him but he promptly forgot about it and there was no complementary gesture on his part. - I recently had meals at Pasha in SanAntonio where the whole Mediterranean hospitality, experience and food are on another level (and cheaper) . - perhaps the owner of Acropolis should visit Pasha to get some pointers instead of just customarily going from table to table asking if all was good.

I've had Greek food in Greece and this was a close second. I normally don't leave reviews but this place was so good, the service was amazing the people were very nice. We were seated extremely quickly and the food was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend this spot and everything on the menu!

If you are looking for authentic Greek food in CenTex, this is a must stop. Greek "grill tellers" were one of our go to spots in Germany when we wanted a change from schnitzel. This place had a large and varied menu, and it all comes out tasting like your grandmother is back in the kitchen cooking for your homecoming. We left stuffed to the gills with good food. The owner/manager stopped by shortly after we got our meals served, wanted to check if we were happy with our food - one of those clap-you-on-the-back, "how you folks doing?" checks. Very sincere and friendly. Servers were excellent as well, bonus, our server sang happy birthday at another table, and it was the Broadway professional version (which he was before). No pictures, we were too busy shoveling food in......

Staph food poisoning contracted from gyro takeout - 3/4 people who ordered lunch today are now extremely ill. It was all room temperature on arrival so it must've been mishandled.

I'm updating my review for service, sat at the bar, i sled the server if I could she said yes, she gave me a menu and never came back to me after 10 minutes. Sitting at the bar I can see the cook, i lost my appetite when the cook was wiping his hands on his apron and his pants while handling food directly with his hands with no gloves.

Great atmosphere and even better food! I ordered the gyro and it was delicious--fresh and flavorful. The service was quick, and the price wasn't bad at all. Definitely a spot I'd visit again! Ideal for lunch

We've been coming here for a while. Our past visit will be the last. My wife has stage 4 cancer while also being allergic to a few things. She was getting the couscous with no almonds due to allergy. The last few orders they were also leaving out the feta and raisins. So, she put on the order to please add the feta and raisins. When I went in to pick our order up, I asked if I could check the couscous. The lady who claimed to be the manager said, "I made sure it was made correct since it's such a big deal". I guess because my wife is allergic to almonds, it's a "big deal" to make sure the order is correct. After leaving I called and asked to speak with the owner but was told he wasn't there. Although when I was leaving I seen him out front. She was very unprofessional and rude. The service up front is rather horrible. I've been inside and waited thirty minutes before being helped. The order is never on time but never complained until now.

A Gyro isn't a true gyro unless it is cut from a rotating spindle, and then heated on a grill. That's how Acropolis does it and I was thrilled! Now, I got the platter not the sandwich so I can not speak to the toppings on the sandwich and every culture does it differently. The same with baklava some cultures use walnuts and some use pistachios, I enjoy the pistachio version more, but this spot has the walnut version. However, I enjoyed their gyro platter but that was not the only thing in my rating of this restaurant that took me by surprise. YOU MUST TRY THEIR Chocolate Mousse Cake!!!!!! OMG, it was so delicious I went back for another slice on "Thanksgiving Day" but they were closed. Well, my son, daughter-in-law, and new granddaughter live here so I will be back "much and many" more times!

Waited over an hour to pick up my food, which was literally just a gyro wrap. The waitress asked the owner if he could provide me with a gift card for the inconvenience and I was given nothing. Owner even handed me my food and said sorry and offered me a bag for it. Be so for real right now I want my money back. just got home and entire order was wrong. order gyro wrap, greek salad and hummus. was given the wrap and potatoes, that's it. My boyfriend ordered a wrap and was given just meat.

My interest for Greek food was inspired by a quaint little spot in New York a couple years ago. I'd always get the falafel, gyro and grape leaves. Should I have chosen to eat the falafel or gyro today at Acropolis? Possibly, maybe this review would have been different. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and try something different. As you walk in, you are immediately greeted by staff who eagerly await to have you seated. The place is outfitted with Greek inspired decor all around. There are benches with pillows, that add more of a nuisance than anything. The menu is quite vast, with a lot of dishes inspired by the main land. The special of the day was the lamb shank, accompanied by your choice of two sides. I chose the potatoes, and dolmathes (grape leaves). The lamb shank was pictured beautifully on the menu. It showed it braised in the special sauce they have, and that golden flake made it stand out. The food, was cooked fresh. Always a plus for a restaurant to cook with fresh ingredients. It was maybe around 20-25 minutes after the food arrived. I was very excited to try this new dish, so I dug in with high expectations that fell short. The sauce was incredibly oily. It almost looked like a river of oil. The lamb shank, though tender, very tender, was very bland. There was no seasoning put on the lamb itself. The potatoes, they had a nice crisp to them, overcooked slightly. The grape leaves, were decent. The price was average to low. The lamb shank was a bit pricey at almost $18. It honestly should be half the price, it did not blow me away. Would I be coming back to give it a try? Yes, but not this dish. Yes the dish looks finished, but it is also because I am slightly overweight and will eat anything I can fit on my fork.

Food was delicious. Service was great. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was not busy. Definitely recommend!

Went here last night for dinner during a business trip. What a nice surprise. Simply outstanding Greek food and wonderful service. I got the Greek Combination meal and added a side salad. Every item was fresh and extremely flavorful. The service was attentive and timely. Prices were a little higher than what I would expect for the location but the food quality justified it.

Great, tasty food that's hot and fresh, the owner is present and takes great care of all customers

Service was excellent! Food was delicious. This would be a great spot for a date. We went with our kids and we still enjoyed ourselves. Wish I would have taken pictures of our food but we were all so eager to dine in. This place did not disappoint.

Dinner what a wonderful place. Food is flavorful and fresh. Ordered different items and nothing so far has failed to taste good. Staff is friendly and they work hard. But still able to interact with customers and have fun. Food was fresh ordered the gyro plate and a good selections of side dishes. Each one fresh and tasted wonderful.

Wonderful food, great service & lovely inside!! Menu selection is huge. Wine selection is also large.

I haven't been back since 2021 and decided today to try them out again. I'm so glad I did! As soon as we walked in we were greeted right away and sat down. Our waitress (Heather) was amazing! She talked to us, was very informative of the menu and took our order right away. She didn't forget about us! We ordered 2 wines, Lucido and Kandi red wines. Both were house wines. One was bold and one was sweet. Both were amazing! The bold red house wine was extremely good. Wasn't dry, had a great aroma and silk flavor. Went down smooth. The sweet wine was served cold and was sparkling; really great! I'd get it again! We ordered the Mezza plate sampler again and it didn't disappoint. Definitely recommend with a glass of wine. My husband had the eggplant rollatini and it came out hot! Perfect portion size, and cheesy. I wanted to trade him dishes but he kindly refused. Sauce was portioned good, not over saucy or bitter. I definitely will order it next time. I had the Garides Ouza Pasta. It had a creamy sweet flavor. It had about 5 jumbo shrimp, perfect amount of cheese and good amount of pasta. It came out hot! The Naan bread was perfect to have to dip into the sauce. Only thing I'd would have liked in the dish is some type of veggie outside of tomato. The other thing that was questionable was the the menu stated "flamed table-side with brandy". I thought they'd do the flame at the table but didn't. I didn't ask because overall the food was delicious. Maybe next time I will ask. Overall, our experience was way better from the first time (customer service wise) but the food did not disappoint. We will return to try another dish! Thanks for the great experience!

What amazing atmosphere! Service is impeccable and the Lamb chops are mouth watering. Heather is the best! Thank you for a great evening.

Lovely for family, first dates, or catching up with friends old and new. They have menu specials, and you'll definitely get your moneys worth!

My Husband went there for take out for my Birthday. We were at the restaurant several times before and the food was good. But when I unpacked our gyro plate at home, my appetite faded away. The pita bred was like tasteless pale frisbees, the eggplant was a bowl of oil with some tiny pieces of eggplant and the meat was dry and grey. Tzatziki with a mini serving like a tablespoon. Very disappointing! The night after this stuff we both did not feel well. They will not see us again.

I love this place Food is delicious I would eat here weekly My sis and kids love it too Must try it out
