The place was very nicely decorated and the food was fairly good, the reason I am giving them a 3 star rating is the service. We went around 2pm on a Saturday, and there were only 3 other tables occupied...despite this, our waitress took 15 minutes to bring us our water, due to standing by the drink machine texting. She took our order, brought out our side salads and then took another 13 minutes to bring us silverware because a group of her friends came in and she spent the whole time talking to them. Again, the food was good, but the service was what really put a damper on our experience here. read more

Consistent, quality restaurant. The Santorini pasta is delicious (although I am sure it's super fattening). You can get healthier options like a greek salad with salmon. The cauliflower is unlike any I have ever had but very delicious. read more

Amazing food just amazing the atmosphere is nice employees are very friendly I was disappointed about the up charge "due to Covid 19" it's the only place I've been to that is doing that but other than that it is a great place to eat!!! read more

As much as I want to give this restaurant 4-5 stars I can't. I had a horrible experience with the owner. He is a nasty man. The food was good but not worth going someplace and being humiliated. We had a new waiter so not his fault at all but I asked him how much a side of feta would be. I love feta on my chicken wraps and theirs doesn't include it. He said let me check since he didn't know. He came back and told me it's $1. I said I'd like to add a side of it please. When my meal came it came with gyro meet instead of chicken so he sent it back for a remake. Than when it finally came out it didn't have my feta so he went and got it for me to add myself. The menu said the chicken wrap is $10.99 but I was charged $12.99. No big deal except for the fact that the menu said otherwise and he argued with me. And the feta rang up as $2 not $1. If you look their menu up on line it also says $10.99. Than after arguing with me and raising his voice telling my husband and I not to come back and go to McDonald's it's cheaper. It was never about the price it was about what it stated it was. Than he appears with a menu that has a price showing $12.99. Than told us his menus are correct. But in the beginning he said it's an error. So he knew it was wrong yet he had one menu hidden for situations like this. All I ask is to be honest and honor your prices. If you go ask to see your bill. They don't show it to you. They just tell you how much your total is. I asked to see it. That's why he got mad. read more

Wife and I had lunch here, only know this greek restaurant in town but we like it. Our favorite is the sangria they serve in a bottle, the brand is called "Cappricco" it's refreshing and only sold here but you can order some at Class Six on post. The dolmathes are served traditionally cold, which I like them hot at other places. Avgolemomo is thicker consistency than I tried at other places but still for the area this is the best greek places in the area. read more

Going with 4 stars for the best Greek place in Central Texas. Here you will find great musaka,Hummus, Pita bread, gyros and an excellent whiskey butter pasta. I don't think you'll find whiskey butter in the Greek islands but oh me oh my It is delicious. Service is always good and the food is consistent. Eat here at least 2 times a month. Everything is good but the lentil soup read more

Food was okay, a lot of pasta options. My food kinda took long to get to me, wasn't very warm. I wouldn't recommend going a second time just for me though. Mostly everyone there was very nice and appreciated. read more

Great food - fast and efficient staff! I am coming back! Food tastes authentic and is plenty!

Wow... Best place in HHeights to eat... To get 5 stars from me you have to be hitting on all cylinders... Meaning first food has to be fresh, then service has to be outstanding and a clean establishment. They get high marks on all the above. Look forward to returning. read more

Tonight wife and I were looking for something new. We had no idea where we would eat. We figured we were out of luck at 7:00 PM on a Friday night and were resigned to something Ho HUM. We pulled into Acropolis Greek Restaurant and we were puzzled at first glance. It looked like a Greek Buffet, but we were immediately greeted by a smiling young lady who asked about our choice in seating, and she placed us at a nice 4-top. It wasn't two minutes before our waiter, Michael, approached us for our drink order. He explained that the place actually opened as a Greek Buffet, but it was apparent on the first day that the buffet concept would not work and they changed it to a sit down cafe. Not quite fine dining, but about as close as you will get in this area. To be honest, our evening almost took a very sour turn at that very moment as they do not carry either of the two Greek Beers on the menu, and I would be forced to eat a Greek meal with Coors Light as a beverage. Michael steered us toward two wonderful Greek wines and as the Greek food had some wonderful aromas, we agreed that a good wine would go well with our meal. I had a pleasantly dry Oenodea Cabernet Sauvignon with a bouquet that titillated my olfactory nerves quite pleasantly. Wife had a sweet and musky Kourtaki Mavrodaphne Patras possessing a musky bouquet with a strong sweet hint of plums.Both of these were $7.00 a glass. Wife and I love a good lamb dish and they had a lamb shank in a delicious broth with vegetables (carrots, onion, and celery), and two sides for $15.99. Our dinner arrived at our table within 3 (YES! 3) minutes of our order. The shanks were absolute perfection, cooked perfectly with no hint of mutton. Wife is a carrot snob and raved about the carrots! Emeril calls carrots, onion, and celery the trinity, and these were heavenly. Not mushy and overcooked, just perfect. My two sides were Lemon Soup and Roasted Cauliflower. Wife had Greek salad and roasted potatoes. Our meal was also served with.pita bread and a sour cream dill dipping sauce. I am no lover of dill but this was just amazing as it was not overpowered with dill, just accented by it. The lemon soup was a new flavor to me. It reminded me of chicken and rice with a lemony ZING that really awakened my taste buds! The cauliflower was light brown on the edges and still had a crunch. Wife raved over the feta cheese and olives in her Greek salad and was also so impressed with her perfectly roasted potatoes. She even let me try a bite they were so good. Michael brought me a little sample of the hummus and the plate had a regular hummus, fresh, light, and creamy, and a fire roasted pepper hummus that was "Slap your mama" divine! Last but not least, we both had the baklava for dessert. Layer after layer of thin dough with a center layer of dates and honey and sticky goodness, with the entire piece lightly drizzled with honey. It looked like a small serving but it was so rich we had to cry "Uncle". We couldn't hold any more and this little piece of nectar for the Gods was just $2.99. Our entire meal for two with a well deserved 20% tip was $67.00, not cheap, but worth every penny. You can eat there much cheaper if you like. They have a decent kids menu, and Michael assured us that they have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free dishes to please everyone. The good....Our waiter Michael was professional, attentive, and helpful. When my wife dropped a fork another server saw it happen and had a new fork for her in less that 10 seconds. There were no televisions to distract us from our conversation and meal. ( I hate TV;'s in a nice restaurant)The food, as if I wasn't clear, was excellent and could pass for good in any city this side of Athens. The not so good......They had a table on the dining floor where the staff rolled silverware and did paperwork. It detracted from the delightful ambiance they had created. The servers station was open to the floor but they were working with the original buffet layout, and it really was not so bad. The bathrooms needed a little bit of love, a bit more light, an a fresh coat of paint, but they were not icky in any way. The verdict.... Go before it gets so busy you have to wait to eat. They are phenomenal, so unexpected in Harker Heights Texas.. As we drove home we looked at the poor pedestrians standing in line at Cracker Barrel, Cheddars and Panda Express and we looked down our noses a little. We had a secret. We were just a few steps away, yet our meal was miles above anything we had ever had in those other places. We will be back. So much new cuisine to try, we can't wait! read more

My wife and I went here today for a late lunch and the food and service was all great. Also they have great Baklava. If your looking for something different then the norm in this area come here you won't be disappointed. read more

Acropolis - Menu - Greek Near Me - Harker Heights, Texas

Back when we lived in the "big city", we would go searching for miles for a great Greek restaurants, which unfortunately were few and far between. So how is it that little Harker Heights, TX got a great Greek restaurant?? Everything we have tried there has been delicious. From the lamb shank, to the gyros, to the beef stew..it is all really good! And strangely enough, we manage to get seated quickly, even on a weekend evening. Granted, it is not "fancy" inside by any means, but that just means you can still come on a weekend and bring your kids. We will be back! read more

I really love Greek food so it was a no brainer when my mom asked if I wanted to go. It's about 40 minutes away from where I live. But let me tell you, it is so worth it. The dining room is well kept and the waitress we had was extremely nice. She never let our glasses get empty either. Me and my mom decided to split a meal since the portions are a bit large. The food came out relatively fast and smelled great. She had even equally portioned the plates so we didn't have to. The food tasted absalutly fantastic. read more

The Greek salad with chicken is huge and packed with flavor; your tongue will be happy with you after eating here.

I will preface with this: I do not normally enjoy Greek food. Before we tried Acropolis, I simply put up with Greek when my wife wanted a gyro. That being said, this place is GREAT! The tzatziki sauce was like a major chord with every flavor equally playing their part. I tried the moussaka with a salad and potatoes. The salad had a light dressing, feta cheese, Roma tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and Greek olives. One of my favorite salads! The feta is fresh, crumbly, and delicious. My wife tried the classic gyro plate and lemon soup. The lemon was not overpowering, and the soup had several flavors with good textures. The gyro doesn't come with any unnecessary items such as the shredded cheddar cheese over at Gyro Nook. The lamb was cooked and seasoned well, and the bread is so light and fluffy that I asked if it was made fresh in house. Our server David admitted that though it wasn't, all purchased ingredients were of the finest quality. I agree! To round out a delicious lunch, we shared a piece of baklava. Several places that make baklava do a disservice by simply soaking it in honey. Such is not the case at Acropolis! The phyllo is golden crispy, but soft towards the middle. The nuts and sweetness is not overpowering, and the selection of honey is simply superb. I don't know what kind of honey it is, but it is both light and properly applied. To add another note, our server David was great. His knowledge of the menu was extensive, and he found the perfect interval to check in. We were always taken care of and never bothered. Great food, great service. My wife grew up in Chicago, and this restaurant reminded her of many Greek restaurants around that area. This is by far the best restaurant I've dined at in the Killeen area. read more

I went there today for the first time. We have been away from the area for 3 years and I'm so happy Killeen is getting some diversity in food choices. This place is good! I got the hummus, chicken skewers (sorry,can't remember correct name) with rice and roasted cauliflower. The cauliflower...so good. I contemplated ordering more to bring home. The portion size was good, I'm eating my leftovers as I type this. Everything reheated well including the pita bread. Will defiantly be back. read more

The food is good, but the service not so much. Our server had a bad attitude and when it was time to pay I was waiting for my change so I could make an appropriate tip amount and she just kept all of it. I was shocked. I'm not one to make a scene so I just let it be and left. It was just so rude and my husband and I will not be returning. read more

Food here was excellent. A little bit of a wait for the food to get to our table than others; but it was worth it. Atmosphere is nice! Worth the drive from Temple just for it. I highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Greek food. read more

Ordered the Lamb and beef Gyro. The food was ok. The meat in my gyro tasted old and really had no other taste to it. It was dry and flavorless. Which was sad because I came here specifically to eat a lamb dish. It came with a side of potato which was ok. It had a great citrus taste to the potatoes which was good. It was a tad bit oily though. The service here was great though. I ordered take out and the woman who helped me was very kind and friendly. I would eat here again but I would not order the Gyro ever again. There is other options on the menu that look good that I would try if I go back. read more

Food is great! But no Ozzo. The price was a bit high, but then it's Greek food. The staff was friendly and attentive. I would go there again for a special occasion. If you like Greek food, try this place! read more

This is the second time we've eaten here. The food was once again Amazing! I was not fond of the lemon soup but hubby liked it. He wasn't fond of the rice but I liked it. Only complaint is that we did not get a single drink refill the whole time we were there. We would definitely eat here again if only for the baklava. Yummy! read more

The inside of the restaurant looks very nice. The food is fresh but the waitstaff is all brand new and they're still working out the kinks in service. Everyone was helpful and friendly and the service will continue to get better. For the food- we had the spanakopita as an appetizer, very good with the tzatziki sauce. I ordered the gyro sandwich and my side item was the lentil soup, both very good. My husband had the gyro plate with his two side choices of eggplant and potatoes, all items were tasty. This place might be BYOB since we didn't see alcohol on the menu and the table behind us brought a six pack of beer with them. You might want to check on this before you go if you plan on bringing your own alcohol. Overall we would come to Acropolis again. read more

Sampler was perfect for variety and probably enough for sharing. My favorites included the steak souvlaki that was both tender, moist and marinated perfectly. Next was the gyro meat which was plentiful, tender and crisp at the same time. Finally the kofta (described to me as a burger) was still flavorful and nice with crumbled feta. Pita was warm and the dolmas were lemony good. Next time, I now know to order the steak. Service was personable as others have described. Can't wait to get back to Killeen. read more

Another great little find, consistently very good food. Food is fresh and very well seasoned. Not an overly large menu but that's a good thing as what they do serve they take great pride in. Service is very good and the wait for food is timed well around appetizers. Wine selection limited but pairs well with the food. Mediterranean Pasta special is awesome. Seasoning is very simple but man is it good. Highly recommended. Price: $-$$. read more

Excellent food; very tasty with creative presentation. Excellent friendly service too. I highly recommend.

food was great, stuck to the basics of Greek food and it was delicious. My daughter said there chicken was dry... she ate all her mom's beef gyro instead. seemed like everyone orders out here, we were the only ones dining in. read more

Great Greek place-just took us too long to try it. Had the Mezze appetizer (a great sampler) and the Steak Souvlaki with Greek salad and roasted cauliflower....basically was wiping the plate with pita. Delicious. We also had a bottle of wine, which was good, just a bit pricey in hind sight, but again food was great. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Delicious food! I had the leg of lamb, and it was tender and very good. A little pricey, but it was worth it.

Great find in Harker Heights! Excellent service, especially our waiter, David. Everything we had was fresh and delivered promptly. Baked feta appetizer was delicious as was the hummus. Very, very good taziki sauce and perfectly cooked gyro meat. Baklava is a MUST! I'm a snob when it comes to taziki, hummus and baklava and all three were great! We will be back!!! I can't say enough good things about this place. Everything is great and the service is consistently good. Try the meze plate as an appetizer to sample a variety of items. The falafel is amazing!!!! read more

My husband had the sampler plate and that is the reason for the two stars. It was good, flavorful, and reminded us of the Greek available in Europe. However, the poor ambiance, slow and inattentive service, and portion sizes were disappointing. Here's a free tip- nobody wants to hear your life story or your music on your iPhone while they are out to eat. I will throw in an extra one- Servers in Europe don't expect more that a 2-Euro tip ($3.75) and provide better service. Try to care that your guests enjoy their visit and you will receive a better tip. read more

Good food. Clean establishment. Waitress, Montana was pleasant and friendly. I recommend this restaurant.

Excellent and authentic Greek food! The best restaurant in the area! Here's what we had: lamb shank, roasted cauliflower, grape leaves, lentil soup, Greek salad (yum), roasted pepper hummus, pita bread (perfection), eggplant, and rack of lamb (highly recommend). Our new favorite place! read more

Most times this place is on point. Today was not one of those days. Had a to go order of the moussaka, one gyro plate, and the cous cous. The moussaka was excellent but the portion size I was given was ridiculously small. The gyro plate - meat was dry, not one fixing was in platter- i.e. Lettuce, tomato, onion, nothing. Only a piddly thimble full portion of tzasiki sauce- when I asked for an additional, it cost an extra $0.54. The cous cous was dried out, unflavorful and uninspired. The server who took my order was rough around the edges to the say the least. They need to make minor adjustments that would go a long way (attention to detail) so this place doesn't sink. I paid $40 for a relatively disappointing meal. read more

Wanted to try something different. Saw some coworkers there so it must be good, asked to see what they had. I end up getting a mediteranean wrap with pesto spread and potatoes. Delicious. read more

AH-MAY-ZING.... After being overseas for nearly a decade, I had given up hope we would ever experience anything remotely as delicious as the Greek food we had grown accustomed to. This place is the BEST that we have tried! definitely our new favorite! Pretty good portions, my only suggestion would be to increase the pita bread portions when people order it as an appetizer. read more

This is the best Greek food in Central Texas. You can't beat the Meze Plate. The gyro meat is to die for. The owners are from Greece and worth the price. read more

Best Greek food ever. Friendly service and the atmosphere is fresh and clean. I love this place. My only con is that the chicen in the gyro was a little tough. read more

Our first time here and I was impressed. The waiter greeted us in a friendly manner as soon as we walked in. We were able to sit quickly and our questions were answered politely. Our food arrived in a timely manner as well. I had the beef soulvaki with greek salad and roasted potatoes and my husband had the lamb chops with eggplant and Greek salad, both plates were great. The atmosphere has a lunch vibe so it was perfect for our lunch date. The portions were a plentiful in size. We will come again. read more
