Apollo Restaurant

First time here. When I saw all of the awards they have won for their burgers, I had to make the trip! It’s a no-frills place right off Route 66. Oh man, the burger was heavenly! You can taste the fresh ground beef cooked to perfection it was so yummy! And those hand cut, cooked to order fries? Spectacular!

Absolutely great burgers, sides... Perfectly cooked beef, chicken... The chili was legit. The cheese steak was also phenomenal. Absolutely nothing bad to say.

Absolutely delectable! These are hands down the best burgers I’ve ever had — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fried zucchini spears with Cajun seasoning are incredible (definitely a must-try!), and their homemade sauces are out of this world — rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Apollo Burger has officially ruined all other burger joints for me — it’s that good!

Absolutely phenomenal menu with some of the best burgers I've ever had... Top notch and reflects awards throughout their building.. My #1 Burger Joint in SoCal... Try them and you'll see!

The menu online for a double cheeseburger says $11.76 yet when i come into the restaurant im charged $15.51 Thats false advertisement and yall need to rectify this issue Lastly, yall seem to have new employees.. HAVE THEM COOK THE DAMN FRIES ALL THE WAY!!!! ZERO REASON FOR FRIES TO BE DRIPPING WITH GREASE CUZ THEY AINT BEEN FRIED THOROUGHLY!!!! VERY SIMPLE!!!! PAPAS CRISPY!!! CRISPY FRIES!!!! NOT FRIES LOOKIN LIKE WET NOODLES!!! THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IVE COME WITH THESE NEW EMPLOYEES NOT KNOWING HOW TO COOK!!!!

Stopped by for some dinner on our way back from California to Las Vegas. The service and food were amazing. Two of the best burgers we’ve ever had & the fries were delicious. I was gonna take a picture of the burgers, but we ate them before I could remember 😂 they were so good!

Finally was in the area so decided to stop by. Food is really tasty one of the tastiest burgers. Large portions fries were alittle over cooked and a little too much salt for my tasting but not a deal breaker. If ever in the area would stop by again.

My husband and I had came to town for a festival with another couple. We decided to try this burger place and wow it was absolutely amazing!! These are some of the best burgers I've ever had in my whole life!! The burgers were seasoned to perfection the vegetables were fresh and the fries were not soggy they were crispy and delicious. My friend had to order the salad even that was amazing it came with fresh ingredients and beautiful pita bread on the side that they had to have just made it was still warm. I definitely recommend this place to anybody who wants delicious food. I suggest if you love blue cheese order the blue cheese burger if you love bacon and big flavors order the narcissist and definitely try those Belgian fries Cajun style so good!!! Thank you Apollo for one of the best meals I've ever had!!

This spot hits for anyone who loves fresh, made-to-order meals! It might look like a fast food place from the outside but Apollo is serving up quality and you can taste the difference with their three cuts of meat burger patty and fresh sides. The fried zucchini is the best I've ever had. It had a farm fresh tender inside white perfectly crisp outside SO good but it's also filling so recommend you split this side with a few people. The fries are hand cut and fresh as well, they are good solo but those Lil Kim fries are next level, highly recommend. We took the order to-go but they have a good mix of table seating inside. You can also order online and pull through to the window for car pickup, a convenient option. I recommend this little family owned and operated establishment that is dedicated to serving quality food to its customers.

I ordered the Narcissist burger with two 4oz patties cooked medium well. The burger came out juicy with a good sear on the patties, and the medium well kept it tender without being dry. The toppings worked well together and the bun stayed intact through the whole meal. Portion size was huge Service was quick and the place had a laid-back, local vibe. A solid dinner stop if you're in the area and craving a burger.

great food is magnificent place and cleanliness ok Staff? i dont know if only me but its been 2X my experience JUST BECAUSE IM TINY ASIAN GIRL they take as second type to serve even if i am the next inLine

First time and everything was amazing! Fresh cooked burger, slight char on the burger, soft bun, and definitely worth the cost. I ordered the sliders and one slider with fries was a lot! First time customers also received a card for a free burger and fries for the next visit- and it doesn't expire! I'll definitely be back. There was a constant line around 11 so definitely plan for a wait or order ahead.

The burgers are amazing. The service is dry and not as friendly as it should be. I'm not saying they were rude but, just there. The restaurant is in an interesting part of town but it SHOULD be packed. Especially at 5:30 pm The food is seriously really good! I cannot give 5 stars because I wish the staff was friendly.

A must try when driving to Vegas. The Narcissist Burger is incredible. Everything we ordered was fantastic. There has been a line every time we have gone....thats when you know it's good.

If you live in the high desert or just passing thru you have to visit this hidden gem. Almost all the menu items are award winning delicious. I say almost only because I haven't tried everything, yet. Service is efficient and the place is clean but you go there for the food. You will not be disappointed. Try to look at the menu ahead of time and order, great food can take a while to prepare.

Been here multiple times. I bring family & friends traveling to & from Las Vegas. Staff is cool Food is bomb, just be ok with the splurge in pricing. I justified that it was worth it for my sister in laws birthday (she's from Boston). Burgers are Juicy & fresh - this is the first time I bought a drink and the first time I ordered the cheesesteak fries. - Narcissist - Boss hog - Bombay Inside it's clean and updated It's a sit, enjoy and eat type of environment

The sign may say "Apollo Restaurant", but the locals call it "Apollo Burger". The meat is scratch ground, putting it all together is perfection. Their version of the juicy Lucy (here called the Floozy Lucy) is the most flavorful I ever had. The staff is friendly and quick. The only real negative is that neighborhood is run down.

First of all, my husband is a Coca Cola guy and this place serves Pepsi, which seems to be the norm in the high desert. But just an fyi if you're the type of person that needs a coke with your burger. We came here because we had heard all a lot of good feedback, but we were let down. We ordered a burger, chili cheese fries and onion rings. I do appreciate an establish that is willing to customize your meal to make it more palatable. However, these customizations were not executed well. The caramelized onions were burnt and cold, I guess it's a jam? I can't recall. The fries on chili cheese fries were over done, almost as if they were refried and topped with chili. My onion rings were overly battered, too thick. And their housemade thousand was not it. This place just wasn't for us, but don't let my review send you elsewhere. This place was packed, ppl kept coming in and all the tables were full that Sunday evening. At one point there was a line to the door. Ppl who work there were helpful and nice, check it out for yourself.

A regular burger with sauté mushrooms and onions... The best Burger in the West... I don't event eat beef but I eat it here Thank you for your excellence in your culinary arts!

This spot has the best burgers and chicken sandwiches in SoCal. They are like the Willie Wonkas of Protein between bread. Seriously, where do they come up with these ideas? Effin Brilliant!

Amazing!!!! Definitely out go to place for the best burgers and fries in the High Desert area.

So glad we found this place on our drive across desolate Southern California. Probably would have kept driving past after seeing it from the outside if it weren't for the reviews. Damn the Standard Burger was an amazing burger. Glad they aren't local to us in SLC this could easily become a weekly habit.

Delicious food, first time ever and my experience at this restaurant was great. Their pastrami is so delicious. It was juicy and not dry at all. Their seasoned fries were absolutely delicious as well. It was not packed at the time I went so service was fast. The guy who took my order was very kind. I would come back again

As soon as I stepped in to the restaurant I was greeted by the staff. Marco took my order and upon asking what burgers he would recommend he gave me his opinion and I took one and the burger was amazing. Literally one of the best burgers I've had away from home. The restaurant is super clean and the music is great. I don't live in the area, but would definitely come back here if I ever get sent out here for work again. Their portions for everything are great and they even made me a side salad upon request. If you live in the area, I recommend this place 10 out of 10!Thank you to the staff so much you guys are great!

First time here today and this place exceeded my expectations! Everything was 1000/10. First of all, our cashier Lucy was super kind and informative. I love when I go to a new place and ask the employees what they recommend and they are happy to help. Lucy recommend the lil Kim fries, stinky Parma fries and chicken store fries for sides. We got the Parma and the lil Kim fries which were AMAZING. They were loaded and full of flavor. We are so happy we live nearby because we are going to be coming more often to try the burgers next time!

Best burger i've ever had! Was pretty salty but I love salt! I had the narcissist huge burger and the bacon was great! And the best zucchini i've ever had! Well worth the forty five minute trip

A bit pricey, but you definitely pay for what you get you can taste the quality of the food. My suggestion is you just need a sandwich no side the sandwiches are big enough.

5/5 Stars - A Must-Try Burger Spot! Wow... hands down one of the BEST burger places I've ever been to! The service here is fast, friendly, and just downright dope. Every single thing feels homemade and packed with flavor--you can tell they take pride in their food. My only tiny fuss? I didn't realize they had so many sauce options because the list was on a piece of paper instead of the main menu. Once I found out, game changer! I've been stationed at Fort Irwin for a while now, and I've eaten here five times already. Honestly, every time I get a free moment, I'm bringing the family here. If you're anywhere nearby--do yourself a favor and try it.

They've gotten too big for their britches. Their customer service is trash, food's overpriced and ridulously slow. Failing on all of the above.

Can be a bit of a wait, but the food is worth it! So flavorful. The new addition, bulgogi hoagie, is refreshing. The crunchiness of the bread pairs nicely with the sauce, steak, and crisp vegetables. I highly recommend. It's only available mon to Fri. The other item we had was the bbq bacon ranch fries which was also delicious! You've got commend the sauces they create and how they combine them so well. If you decide to eat in, there are several tables to choose from. It's kept clean. The staff is busy, but friendly.

Delicious, my friend told me everytime she's up here visiting she wants to eat here. Everything Ive ever tried has been on point tasty!

I was in Victorville for a day and if i had to choose a restaurant, guess where I went? Apollo restaurant of course!! People recommended me to eat here and one of them said the burgers are amazing and he couldn't finish the entire burger and recommended me to get the sliders. I walked into the restaurant and was looking at the menu for the sliders but I couldn't find it. When I asked the cashier, she pointed to a laminated paper menu on the counter specifically for the sliders. i ordered Lil Nickies Sliders ($9.62) and a side of fries ($4.50). The sliders were cheeseburger with freshly made chili. It very good but I thought it was a bit pricey for the portion. On the other hand, the fries were half the price of the sliders but the portion was bigger (see photo). It was so much food, I didn't finish the fries. The staffs were really really friendly, I love it. Love the interior as well. I recommend eating here if you're hungry in Victorville!

I saw this place online and wanted to try it out. It wasn't something that I would come back to eat. The service was okay , also wasn't too impressed. It's a fast food environment you can come in and sit . You order first then sit down

by far tbe best hamburger, chili cheese fries i have ever had in my life. ill hive them 100 stars if possible!! thank you guys!

Delicious! Always busy but worth it. Tiny truck spot looking but burgers are tasty.

They do not have frozen patties. Each patty is fresh and patted out and cooked to order. You can select from many items to put on your burger. You can select the kind of bun you prefer. Their burgers are delicious and filling. I get " a Narcissistic".

Depending on The day of the week this place is an experience for food. Certain things are only served on certain days but they are well worth it. Example tater bombs are only served on fridays. And on a certain day of the week you can order a luther which is served between two krispy kreme glaze donuts. Definitely well worth every penny you spend here.

One of the best burgers and fries I've ever had. Narcissist burger was as advertised. Huge and messy but worth the stains on your shirt. Mexican burger was yummy with a spicy kick. Fries are fresh and loved the in-house garlic dipping sauce. Services was friendly, efficient but we waited awhile to order but the food came out fast. Generic interior that needed a little attention but it was busy and bathroom is outside (employee needs to unlock it for you). The food is rated a 5+, restaurant 3, employees 4.

Busy on a Monday is always a good sign. Service, well less attitude and more focus on the job you were hired to do. Love the interior very trendy up to date with their styling onset. I ordered but from the looks of it, I may have bitten off more than I can chew, yikes receive my order and it actually smells good, you could usually smell the grease that it's been cook with but I can actually smell the seasoning mmmm delicious !!! Nice, very nice great texture definitely did not hold back on purchasing the ground beef, good quality meat. I can not finish this. The fried zucchini, superb now this is what fried zucchini should be like! Breading all the way around, did not fall apart hmmm ! Great y'all ! Worth the drive worth the wait ! Quick shout out, @michaelP Thank you I came here because of your review !

Bulgogi sandwich was next level. We were on a road trip back to LA & stopped here for lunch. Well worth the stop!

I ordered a cheesesteak sandwich where do I start the steak more hamburger meat and then it was burnt so bad and then they forgot to put cheese what a waste of money

Stopped by here on my way to a family members house. And it didn't disappoint the burger was amazing and the tots were to die for. I can see why they only serve them Friday

Randomly came across this place while on lunch. The people working there are very fun and nice. The burger itself was massive, the bacon was crispy, the meat was juicy, the veggies were refreshing and overall it tasted really good. There was a lot of people there, looked like regulars and I understand why. I would definitely come back if ever in the area to try something else.

We stopped here for the first time for dinner while driving back to LA from Vegas. The ladies at the register were incredibly kind and helpful answering questions and opening the restroom for us with their key (on the side of the building). Norma even came to check on us at our table and gave us coupons for next time! The restaurant is clean with ample seating. Would love to see this place busier on a Saturday night. It seemed like most people ordered online to go. Happy Wilbur sandwich (a meatless pulled pork sandwich using shredded king trumpet mushrooms) - huge portion but way too much bbq sauce for me. $12 ish? Standard burger - appropriately named. It's nothing special but still good. $7.50 + extra for cheese Belgian fries - definitely fresh using whole potatoes. The tiger sauce is a horseradish sauce. $4.50

Once again, the fresh meat burgers are unbeatable! You place your order at the register, and the staff is happy to answer any questions. It's a small spot, and the metal chairs can be a bit noisy on the floor, but who cares? I'm here for the amazing food!

Very over priced and way too much pepper on my burger. Also, I paid extra for to upgrade to the larger size of onions rings and only got like 8 rings, kinda lame.

Why have a Drive thru if no one working it, waited over 5mins plus before i left. Food is good but i guess if you want better service you have to go inside

Everything is the customer service is top tier . They had mess up my burger but they fixed it and gave me a card with a free one. Don't sleep on Apollo's . Oh and the restaurant is always clean alit of natural light gets a lil packed but they're quick

Open parking, good music and you can smell the burgers right when you pull in! It's called "Apollo Burgers" but on Maps and the sign says "Apollo Restaurant", so don't be fooled! I give this restaurant 5 stars all around. The customer service is AMAZING. We were greeted right when we walked in and after they found out it was our first time, the employees were so helpful and attentive to us. I ordered the Narcissist Burger, medium rare, with carmelized onions and it was soooo good. I also got a side of of the Parma fries and my mouth was watering as soon as they brought the fries out. The food smelled soooo good and I ate until I was full. I could not let anything go to waste. We ordered two kids sliders and even the sliders looked and smelled delicious. The kids loved their food. My boyfriend also ordered the narcissist burger, medium rare, with a side of Cajun fries and he enjoyed every bite. If you're craving a good, juicy burger I definitely recommend this place. I cannot stop thinking about the food. I will definitely be back.

The food is always good and you can definitely tell it's freshly made. Customer service is always friendly and nice at least for my experience. The pricing is going to be on the high end. I believe that it's worth it if you want good quality food I do not agree with the pricing of their beverages or with them pressing a request for you to order a beverage with your burger, and stating this is to counteract them raising the price on meat. Although I believe that's going to happen regardless because of other aspects of our economy. But that's a whole other subject. All that put to the side from the outside it's a little hole in the wall with magic. Yes looks can be deceiving. Go on in and give them a try. Hands-down I believe they have one of the best salads you'll find in Victorville and they're freshly made sherbet has real fruit.

First I want to start when I first walked in I took a few minutes to get my order taken, I was the only one in line no greeting or the good ol' I'll be right with you. Also everyone was wearing a mask? That rule has been gone for about 3 years now, I find that in th food industry If you still wear a mask it's an excuse for Mediocre customer service, which is what I got today. I would love to see you guys smile and not hide behind a mask. Secondly food was ok, a bit inconsistent. Chili cheese fries were tasty but some fires were super well done, while others were cool normal, and some fires that I bit into were really hot and some were luke warm, seems to me like they mixed fresh fries with old ones Burger, I ordered the narcissist burger, and to be honest I don't know how any human being will be able to take a bite out of that burger I think this burger should be cut in half and served! It was a huge burger, once I made it half way through I come to find a tomato slice that's cored and a bit dry like it was sitting in an insert for a while that's not refrigerated, for the amount of money we are paying it would be nice to get a center cut or at least two tomatoes if there's going to be a hole. Lastly, the dining room was clean, AC was blowing cold Soda was delicious and ice cold. I did not use a restroom so I don't know if it was clean or not but looks of the dining room, I'm sure it's clean. I see that they have a lot of awards on the wall but I didn't see any 2021 2022 2023 wards awards? But I did see 2016 2017 and 2018. All those awards on display were 6+ years ago. I know they're in accomplishment and I don't want to take that away But without seeing any new awards, makes it seem like quality isn't a priority anymore, and based on my meal today it showed. If you asked if I would visit this place again I would in hopes of a better experience food was good. It was the service, and dining room experience what brought down the score today. Thank you

12/14/2024 I ordered the narcissist burger to share with my 2 puppies. Two huge patties, cheese, 4 bacon strips, lettuce & tomato on the side, order of zucchini (best I've eaten so far) Parmesan fries!!! Service was excellent and our order was perfect. If you're in the Victorville area you have to go to Apollo restaurant!!!

I went in thinking this burger was going to be packed with flavor , and one of the best I've ever tried ! But I was wrong . First of all the service was excellent , they were patient and it had a little bit of a line , but the wait wasn't too long . The ambiance was good although it did feel a little crammed . I got the burger and , immediately I was overwhelmed with the size of it . I like food and I love to eat , but this was , another level , I also didn't like the flavors of the meat I couldn't really taste much seasoning .. but I have to admit I was underwhelmed and dissatisfied as my burger was 23$ . Overall great experience , but the burger couldn't do the talking .. definitely if you're thinking of coming , sharing would be a good option .

I had the floozey Lucy and stinky parma fries. Best burgers in the high desert. It's so good. Service is speedy and nice. Super huge portions. Enough for two meals. The meat is amazing. I love it. Worth the price.

Carnivore alert!!! If you want to stay away from seed oils, DO NOT get fried food here. They use Canola Oil. Other than that, this is an upscale styled restaurant. The workers are forced to wear masks it seems like... My burger patty was good with the bacon and pickles. BUT they charged the same amount for the bacon as they did the patty.

I am rating this place based on food and service alone. The pastrami sandwich was very good and the avocado was a delicious addition. The onion rings were perfect and the ranch was to die for. I could eat the ranch by itself! I need the recipe! The service was great and food came out very fast. Food and service alone was amazing. The food was pricey but I am not sure if that's normal for California. $39 for a sandwich, onion rings and two sodas. Also, it's located in the old area of Victorville. Not the best area. Definitely a place to check out if you're in the area!

Steak sandwich was bland and too greasy couldn't taste any of the ingredients,,the chili fries were way too salty, I thought the burger meat was great but they put so much sauce and black pepper that it over powered the burger.
