Burgers were outstanding - great flavour and worth a detour to get to. Will cost you more then fast food restaurants but so worthwhile for the taste. Great 50s ambience in the restaurant and check out the palm tree in the bathroom (ladies only) read more

Not even 10 onion rings in the order. A single Apollo Burger was tasty, albeit it left me still hungry. The meat was pink to verging on red on the inside. The orange Creamsicle milkshake made me harken back to my childhood when eating orange Creamsicles. It had a bit of an oddly good taste. The price was ATROCIOUS!!! At $40 for just 1 each of onion rings, single Apollo Burger and a milkshake ... are they insane?!!! read more

Very good burger extremely good onion rings good service clean tables and the people were nice Overall a great lunch

Love the food from here. The people who have declared war on the cow have probably made the burgers a little too expensive. $60 for 4 burgers, 1 fry and 1 onion ring. No drinks. We used to go every 2 weeks now maybe twice per year. read more

for the money that you spend, it's no longer worth it. The quality of the food has gone way down in the last year .... bland ... dry .... just not worth it anymore. ... and for them to expect you to tip them when it's basically a takeout place... no. read more

Stopped in to the Apollo Grill on my way through Peterborough. Used to go out to the original Royal Burger drive in with uni friends from Trent and wanted to see if the Apollo "Royal Burger" was reminiscent of old. I ordered the classic Royal Burger, onion rings, and a strawberry milk shake. All was quite good but IMHO the burger was smaller than the original. I should have gone for the double. Prices were on the high side for burgers but definitely a trip down memory lane. read more

Apollo Grill - Classic "Royal Burger", onion rings, and strawberry shake. - Burgers Near Me - Peterborough, Ontario

My son loves these real meat burgers! He'd eat here everyday if he could. I'd recommend this place Hope sure.

Really great buger with fast and friendly service. Burgers are cooked on a flat top so they are super flavorful. Fries are excellent as well. I did take out and ate the burger a few minutes later. The bun held up well even with travel. A must visit when in the area. read more

Apollo Grill - Take Out only... Made fresh! - Burgers Near Me - Peterborough, Ontario

I used to live around here and I have to say my family when we got to the food is amazing and the ice cream is delicious and the fries are the best part and service is astounding and the dinner looks amazing with the pictures and the car models and the checked floors, gorgeous! every time i go back to Ontario i go to this place, it brings back so many memories and I highly recommend going there anytime you get to! read more

We've been meaning to stop into Apollo Burger when passing through the Peterborough area for years. Today we finally did, and we were not disappointed. Upon entering, the first thing we noticed was the amazing 50's diner inspired decor touches, complete with checkerboard floor tiles. We arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday, so it was quick and easy to be served and find a seat, although I hear that on Friday and Saturday nights the place is hopping. Knowing that it was a popular local joint, I was expecting some good diner eats. Given that this was our first time here, we wanted to try a few of the many things the menu had to offer, so between the two of us we ordered: a double and a single cheeseburger (with our choice of an assortment of fresh toppings), a regular order each of french fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings, along with two fountain colas. The burgers were fresh, juicy, flavourful, and excellently prepared. The sides were equally done to perfection, hot and crisp from the fryer. One thing that did stand out to us though, is that this place is immaculately clean, and I mean the entire place. I know food establishments need to adhere to strict cleanliness guidelines, and I would expect that the food preparation areas would be spotless, however Apollo Grill seems to take this far more seriously out in the dining area than a lot of other places. Additionally, given the current COVID-19 situation they supply hand sanitizer at the door and have accommodated dine-in seating with responsible physical distancing, along with a plexiglass partition at the counter. As should always be mentioned, the hardworking staff behind the counter. They all seem very friendly, efficient, but above all, happy to help a first timer navigate the menu. All in all, in our opinion Apollo Grill is definitely a place to stop when in the Peterborough area. We will definitely visit again and now wish we had done it sooner! Note: In addition to the Lansdowne St. location we visited, a second Apollo Grill is located on Towerhill Road. read more

this spot very good, also very close to home! i love the royal burger kinda expensive but worth it.

I have taken my family here for quite some time now. Yesterday I took my son and some of his hockey teammates for lunch/diner, it was 3:15 so there was only 1 other customer in the restaurant. Placed our order and waited, their kitchen staff is lost. My fries were cold and for some reason the cook felt it was required to cut the burger in two while cooking it to see if it was done. What a rookie mistake!!!!! They couldn't get three orders to come out at the same time and made my order twice. It was a joke. Don't tip before you get your meal here, you never know what to expect. When you pay 45$ for two burgers you better get quality and service. Quite the let down yesterday! read more

awesome burgers, nice staff, loaded menu, a little pricier but 100% worth it! one of my favourite burger places

I called an order in to eat at home and they gave us a veggie pattie instead of meat. When we called back to request a correction, I learned the cashier has zero authority to correct errors and a bad attitude. It took two phone calls and a bit of a wait to connect with the owner. Once we did, he managed to correct the error in a way that turned around the bad experience. read more

This place and the family that owns that are all really disappointing. They treat their employees like garbage, they have in the past, many times been charged by breaking labor laws and mistreating their staff. The food is garbage and the customer service is the same. Garbage. read more

Burgers are awesome, went in on June 3; ordered appollo burger and fries. Fries not so good, not hot and not fresh. Yes may be fresh cut fries but could be improved. Double blanch and then fry. read more

Definitely not our first time there. Good parking right out front, staff are friendly, restaurant is very clean and the food is great. You'll pay a little more than most fast food places but the portions are large and the food is awesome. One of the best sweet potato fries I've had. Wish I could share a photo of the Hawaiian Burger I had, delicious. Give them a try, it won't be your last. Cheers. Eric. read more

This was a great find. It was our first time here and we were not disappointed! Great friendly service and the food was soooo good. The burgers are made from scratch and are delicious. We will be back on our next time through Peterborough. read more

Friendly comfort food made fresh. A great spot for burgers. A little on the pricey side but nice for an occasional treat

Yup best burger in Peterborough. Go for the apollo burger. The other one is good but it's a bit old fashioned for me. The poutine was really tasty - very big order if you get a poutine as well tho so have an appetite. The fresh cut fries are just fine if you don't. Milkshake is a classic and made with a classic mixer so nice and thick. I'll be back if I ever pass through Peterborough. read more

OMG ! APOLLO BURGERS came highly recommended by neighbours who frequent this place whenever they're in Peterborough! We decided to give it a try ! LOVE the burgers! Fresh ground beef (spoiled girl here, because hubby grinds high quality beef for our own burgers at home) .... that was the clincher for me! Weeeellll! It DID NOT disappoint! So yummy on a fresh brioche bun, topped with all the fixings I like, oh, and you can't forget the fresh cut fries to accompany the yummy burger ... A lot of food ! After my third visit, Ive decided to sample EVERYTHING on the menu! Staff are great! Oh, and the Owners are stellar! Eat in or Take Out! You'll be glad you did! read more

Oh my goodness!! This place has a burger that should be ranked with the best of them. They don't have a lot of fancy toppings like glazed vine ripe tomatoes, or dijon "extra fancy" mustard, no, they have fresh beef, great buns, and simple straightforward burger toppings leaving the fancy stuff to people who can't remember the last time they had an honest burger! Bun to burger ratio is just right, and for those who like more meat, order a double and have a double serving of heaven. Meat has just the right amount of fat to meat ratio, so the patty doesn't become microscopic when cooked, but stays juicy and most when you sink your teeth into it. Onion rings.. oh the onion rings! I can still taste them, and I got a bit sad when I realized how quickly I ate them. Fries cut fresh and somewhere between a shoestring and a wedge, just like burger fries are supposed to be- substantial! Ice-cream special: $0.99 on a sugar cone! Oh no, this isn't soft serve, it's the real stuff, made with milk, cream, tons of chocolate/strawberry/french vanilla or whatever your delight. Oh and don't forget the milkshake- I got strawberry, and it made me weak at the knees! If I'm driving through and nearby, I will always stop by this place- I won't forget it! read more

I first went here with my dad about a year ago I believe for father's day and it was one of,if not the best burger I'd ever had up until that point. I belive I ordered a double cheese burger with lettuce,mayo, tomatoes, bacon and ketchup and it was just the thong to quench my appetite. The feel in the resterant is classy but not so much so that you have to even attempt to dress up nice. The seating arrangements were also vary convenient having good space but also being able to see through the window almost anywhere you sat, though in saying that it probably wouldn't be to comfortable for someone that wants to stay out of the sun The sevice was good but nothing special, the waitresses seemed to have a cheery look on there faces which even further improved the mood and they have got my order right every time I've been there (five to be exact). My final verdict is 9/10 deffenetly can't wait t9 go back there soon! read more

Great service. Burgers were good and poutine is good! Definitely decent price. It's a greasy dive we like going to

I love a good burger. There are places in Peterborough that share my value of good food at reasonable prices...unfortunately I can't count the Apollo as one of them. A thin, grill heavy crusted burger with a ton of salt for a premium dollar value. There are much better options in town. read more

Tasty (ground daily) burger on a nice soft bun. Fresh cut fries. Also got a poutine with a thick gravy - well seasoned. Single patty Apollo Grill burger is a popular choice with good reason. Daughter had a crispy chicken burger which is breaded in-house. A super generous portion. Definitely a solid burger joint with diner feel and 50's inspired music and decor. read more

I've been several times and the food has always been great. They are known for their burgers and fries. Weekdays later in the week can have a very busy lunch hour due to people that work local going for lunch. read more

Trying to chanel a post war diner is great, but even post WWII you got to eat off of plates, had napkins and salt and pepper at the table, and didn't have to clear our own table. There was an option when we went to pay that allowed us to leave a tip. Not sure what it would have been for, since we were the only people in line and we still had to wait to order or even be acknowledged. I don't tip at Mac Donald's either. The burger itself was great. Toppings were fresh and the bacon was perfect. I thought that such a nice, 'steak ground daily' burger deserved better than a 'Wonderbread' bun though. The poutine was not as good as a chip truck, and the sweet potato fries were over-cooked and over-salted. True to the 50's vibe, there was lots of plastic garbage including from the Kurig coffee. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money. read more

Decent food and prices. Eaten here a few times, the veggie burgers are ok and my husband and daughter like their beef burgers.... real house made burgers make this place stand out. They also have a decent poutine! Eaten at both locations and satisfied every time. read more

Fresh food makes all of the difference. The fresh, juicy burgers here are second to none and they are the only gourmet burgers in Peterborough area. This place can be pricy and the decor is a little jarring and weird. But the food is hot, delicious and the service is good. Get your Apollo on because it's definitely a local treat! read more

Great fresh burgers and fries. I had the Royal burger and my wife the Apollo and both were really tasty. Sweet potato fries were crispy and hot. We will definitely stop in again when we're in Peterborough read more

We love the burgers from here! They are the best! Fries and onion rings are excellent! Milkshakes are real and delicious! read more

Our party of nine was served quickly and with big smiles. Everybody thought the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great burgers every time I come to Peterborough to have my car serviced my son requests I bring home the fantastic burgers and fries. I look forward to coming here, the service is great and the food exceptional. read more

The Apollo Grill has gotten it's act together a lot since first opening. While the prices combined with the wait time for food can be a bit of a turn off for their burgers and fries, their ice cream and drinks are well priced and great for the summer months. read more

I have waited a month and finally tried Apollo grill, all I have heard are rave reviews. I ordered to pickup...when I got there I had to wait almost 15 mins before I was able to get to the till as they do not have a separate pickup area!! when I got home which was only a few minutes away...Food was soggy and cold, our burgers buns were so soggy with sauce we couldn't eat them...And I know its steakburgers, but my burger was raw in the middle...My chocolate shake was instead chocolate milk, it was that watery....I was terribly disappointed and have no plans to go back.. read more

This used to be our go to place for burgers but recently the service has suffered dramatically and the prices have increased. A recent experience had an extremely long wait time for the food - impolite staff who were the owners children and had "worked a long day " so their behavior should be excused according to the owner, and to top it all off the food was expensive. Lousy experience and sorry to say we wont be back, read more

THE best burgers and fries in town. Consistent. Well priced. Great service. Love this place!

Was looking for a decent burger in Peterborough and wasn't disappointed. Fresh beef makes great burgs. Fries and rings were also very good. Soft drinks are over priced. $2.50 for a 355ml coke. Otherwise good meal. 3 burgs,3 drinks ,1 rings,1 L. fries...$46.00 read more

Great spot! Fresh ingredients, food was very good, service was excellent. Next time I am in Peterborough will definitely stop in again.
