    While on vacation with family, I have eaten breakfast here 4 times. Each time, we were treated well and even had the same server, who was amazing. The food was very good and great value. Will definitely be back next time I'm down in Florida!

    Apollo diner is always delicious. We've dined in and done take out on many occasions. Never disappointed. This visit was a quick breakfast stop with my son after an errand filled morning. Great service, casual atmosphere, and yummy food = happy Mom and kid!

    Food- I always enjoy it Service- Never a problem with the customer care. Ambiance- on a busy street but you can get in and out when it's time.

    Apollo Diner, 201 West Hibiscus Boulevard, Melbourne, FL - 1/2-Star Swill Alert! This is my second Swill Alert in a month. If the food in Brevard doesn't start getting better, I'm going to end up with self-inflicted alopecia from pulling out clumps of my hair. Come on, Melbourne. How sad is it when I must state that I found food so inedible that the restaurant deserved zero stars. Luckily for the Apollo Diner in Melbourne, I'm awarding it 1/2 a star despite its terrible fare. This is solely because of Bonita, our awesome server, who is always so charming and accommodating. A little history: I have many fond childhood memories of family dinners in this building where I've been coming in to eat for over 50 years. As a kid, my family used to come in once a week for delicious BBQ at what was a Fat Boys over 30 years ago. Later, this place became a Jimmie Joes before going Greek. A couple of decades ago, the original owners of the Apollo Diner ran a great little restaurant out of here. Then they sold it and the food quality plummeted. Every new owner of the Apollo Diner--and this is the fourth--has kept the same name and attempted to jazz up the décor, but the food has never been the same. Over five years ago, I came in to review this joint under the second owner and ended up getting up and leaving without eating because the service was so bad (my waitress decided to hang out and chat with her boyfriend for over half an hour rather than put in my order). Over three years ago, I came back in under the third owner and even enjoyed some decently prepared bacon and eggs, which was served with a smile by the abovementioned Bonita, giving it a full three stars. This was back in 2019. However, six months ago, a fourth owner took over. They took out the food trough and got rid of the sleepwalking wait staff. To their credit, they kept Bonita. So, what's wrong with the food? Could it be that an Egyptian family (at least I was told they were Egyptian, but online they say they offer a weekend Turkish BBQ) shouldn't make Greek food? At the old San Remo Restaurant on US-1 in Melbourne now a Greek family serves both Italian and Arabic food and both suck. Just saying. I ordered the Greek Skillet and the Apollo "Plater," which I assume was supposed to be "Platter." It always worries when me when a restaurant can't correctly spell the items on its menu. Or when it brags on Facebook that it has a live "Billie" (belly?) dancer on Friday nights. The long and short of it is this: The fourth owner is not the charm. The swill served here was inedible. You want tasty Greek cuisine? Why not try the Olympia Café on US-1 in Melbourne, where Teddy the Greek has been serving the real thing to Brevardians for forty years. The Big Boy says, "Skip the Apollo Diner. I never thought the food could get worse here, but it did.

    DELICIOUS breakfast!! Staying in Melbourne for spring break and we've gone here every morning for breakfast. It's about a 10 minute walk from the Hilton Melbourne hotel. Staff is super nice and friendly, made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

    One of those diners I enjoy simply because it's comfortable there and they make the best French toast and the red neck omelette is delish!

Our waitress - Alyssa - was great!: attentive and informative, and on her recommendations we ordered the shrimp cocktail to start, and a number of the fried seafood options, including fish, shrimp, oysters, and scallops. Served with excellent french fries, hush puppies, and homemade coleslaw, along with a round of $4 Yuengling beers. The food was all excellent, and cooked perfectly. Side note....I don't normally like hush puppies, but even those too were delicious. Double thumbs up from everybody. We will be back.

I was graded as soon as I walked in and directed to the bar, which is admittedly, my favorite place to sit. I had looked at the menu ahead of time and ask some clarifying questions to Lyndsay, my server. She was knowledgeable, personable, and amicable. She walked me through the answers with what felt like genuine amiability. I worked in the service industry for years. I'm talking front of house and back of house; sometimes customer service can be feigned, other times it is true geniality. Lyndsay earned this place its fifth star on the caliber and quality of customer service. This feels like a great place to have lunch or dinner or sit back and watch the game. I'm glad to be here and looking forward to coming back.

    A Masterclass in Waterfront Brunch…read more I was looking for a great brunch spot on the water, and The Brevardian more than delivered. As someone who grew up on the water and close to New Orleans, I have a very high standard for seafood. This kitchen doesn't just meet the bar; they raise it. The Food House Smoked Fish Dip: This was a refreshing departure from the traditional "creamy mushy" dips. It was full of bright flavor and, most importantly, didn't drown the fish in mayo. Using the house-made kettle chips as a base was a great touch. Crab Cake Benedict: This dish was understated but incredible. The crab cakes were nearly all crab with very little filler--a rare find. I have to give a huge "Bravo" to the kitchen for not drowning the eggs in sauce; the remoulade was perfectly balanced and, honestly, better than my mother's! (Don't tell her!) Caramel Pecan Cheesecake: We finished with this for dessert. It was decadent, rich, and definitely a shareable portion. The Drinks My mother enjoyed the house Chardonnay, and I opted for their signature cocktail, "The Brevardian." It was impressively smooth and balanced. You didn't get a sharp hit of bitterness from the bourbon or an overbearing sweetness from the fruit; the flavors just meshed perfectly. The Verdict: Between the view of the Indian River and the "scratch-made" quality of every bite, this is easily one of the best spots in the area. If you value "Contemporary Old Florida" cuisine where the ingredients are the star, this is a must-visit. Shout out to our server Neil who was exceptional as well!

Lawren did an amazing job, 5 stars for sure!!Any questions that we had she was sure to get the answer. She was extremely personable and professional and will do a great job there. The food did not meet 5 stars. The table ordered crab cakes, crab hushpuppies and Rockefeller oysters. All were good but nothing more than 4 stars. Not quite hot enough and lacked flavor. I also ordered a chambong which was good but was not the same as I had at Shoreline in early December. In early December, the caviar included a spoon of crème freshe; however, last night was a wilted spoon of greens at best. Will I return? Yes, absolutely. I will write off last night as a slow night given it was a Tuesday evening. I wish Lawren all the best as she was a very personable server and was well prepared to get any questions answered.

It has the seafood broil smell that makes your mouth water. My husband got the fish and chips but substituted the fries for the Mac and cheese. The fish was great, it is haddock and not overly breaded and the Mac and cheese was very good. It is not the box mac and cheese that many places try to give you as a side. I got the crab cakes that are on the small plate menu. They were not large and over breaded. They had a lot of crab meat and the sauce that came with the fennel salad on top was very good. The server Kila and the owner Krista are awesome and the experience was great.
