No pics... just vibes. Pulled up to Apollo Burger after years--no real reason, just one of those "it's time" moments. Glad I did. I kept it classic with the original burger loaded with cheddar, pork bacon, fried onions, mushrooms, mayo, and lettuce, and went combo because... biggest bang for the buck. Fries + fountain soda had my total sitting around $23 with tip--no complaints there. That burger? Juicy, flavorful, and messy in the best way. The fries had that perfect crisp, I just wish they hit them with a little more salt--but nothing I couldn't overlook. Peeped a few new menu additions too. The "roll dog" (aka glizzy) caught my eye. Tried to level it up with chili & cheese but no chili--just cheese. Still might spin back for a plain one with fried onions and mustard. Also saw fried shrimp on the menu... yeah, I'll be back for that. And let's not ignore the vibe--same nostalgic DC/GoGo energy, and the playlist? Always hits. The staff are always patient and pleasant. Apollo still got it. read more

My girlfriend & I met up for a happy hour catch up. This is a fabulous lil gem that is clean & inviting with fantastic food. We sat at the bar & the staff was upbeat & lovely to be around. Answered our questions, checked on us when our drinks were low, but gave us space to enjoy our conversation. Looking forward to our next visit read more

I kept hearing amazing things about this place. So, I stopped in to check out their tasting menu and the vibes were amazing! I met the owners and their hospitality was 10/10. Here's what we sampled: Original Burger, Jive Turkey, The DMV, Potomac Garden, Shrimp O'Boy, and then Maryland Crab (lump crab) My top picks? The Shrimp O'Boy, the Maryland Crab, and the Original which were absolutely delicious. The vibes are cozy and it's like the Apollo row cheers! They also host weekly events and definitely a cool spot to go on a date, to try some good sandwiches and burgers. read more

Hey friends! This place has been on my go-to list for a while. I tried to go once before but they were out of shrimp LOL. I ordered the Shrimp O' Boy. You can fries and a fountain drink to any entree for $5. The food didn't take long as it wasn't too busy. I really enjoyed my meal! The shrimp was cooked golden, perfect texture and seasoning. My only distaste is that I would've preferred the food on a hoagie roll. It was hard to eat on a burger bun. Fries were okay. -Customer service was great. The cashier was busy in the back when we came in and the cook let us know he'll be right with us, small things like this mean a lot to customers. -Restaurant did have a weird, dirty mop water smell. -Prices are average. -Plenty of free parking out front. -Plenty tables for dine-in. Definitely will return and try out a cocktail from the bar. Hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian read more

This place seems like it's on the verge of closing. Nobody's ever there. The food has really gone downhill too. None of the same folks are working in the kitchen. The new bar staff is super nice, but it feels like they've been in "training" for months. The music is being played off Pandora or something; for every one song, there's a commercial. Creating a playlist is not hard. One of the restaurants next door has started serving hookah and it has stolen all the customers from the neighboring businesses. Burgers@ Apollo is not even trying to fight back. It's like they don't care! Sad to see a great neighborhood spot go out like that. read more

Wanted something quick and light plus wanted to start going inside to eat at places instead of just picking up so I finally went to Burgers at Apollo. I love the DC inspired walls, decor, food names and setup. Different yet pleading to the eye, They have Happy Hour & a nice selection to choose from. Very clean and nice environment! HH SHRIMP BASKET $8 These lightly battered shrimp were PERFECT & just like how I like them. Fresh, crispy and delicious! FRIES (COMES SEPARATE) These were ok, wish they had crinkle cut fries instead. Honestly, I should've had more shrimp and not added the fries. They weren't bad but not a must have. HH LEMON DROP $7 This was a delicious, refreshing and good drink. Definitely would get again. Next time I'm trying a vegan burger and milkshake. Great vibes and happy hour! The bartender was super nice and so were the customers at the bar. Great conversation and atmosphere. Will come back for them shrimp lol. read more

This was my second time coming to Burgers @ Apollo, I was there a couple weeks ago for an ugly sweater party. Anyway I was back on their side of town and my bestie was saying she wanted a turkey burger and I mentioned going there because I remembered they had them and turkey bacon on the menu. She got the Jive Turkey w/ turkey bacon and I got the Original w/pork bacon. We both really enjoyed our food so much that we forgot to take any pictures. My bestie lives closer to that side of town so she said she'll definitely be back! read more

This place doesn't have anything. When I came, they didn't have whole wings, the fountain drinks weren't working, and they were charging the same amount for a can of soda as for the fountain drinks. They also nickel-and-dime you for every single thing. Only one person was taking orders, and she seemed unclear on what she was doing , but they still had time to gather around for pictures. No, thank you. The one positive: the restroom was clean. read more

I visited this restaurant 3 times before deciding to leave a review. My first visit, I tried a burger, since this is a burger spot but I was very underwhelmed by the burger. In my opinion, the burger meat lacked seasoning and flavor (I know 2 other ppl who tried different burgers and said the same). On my next 2 visits, I ordered a Shrimp basket (~$16), which I enjoyed!! The 8 shrimp are well-seasoned, fried perfectly, and decently-sized. Their fries are also very tasty. This restaurant offers Happy Hour during the week but ai've never attended. read more

Me and my family decided to go out for burgers. After a search I found Apollo and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. We got there during happy hour where we started with margaritas. This is a basic drink but you can gauge a good bartender based on the simple drinks. This was a great margarita for a happy hour price. After a short wait our food came out. I ordered the Apollo burger and my wife got the DMV burger. The pictures don't do any justice the food was amazing and the service was amazing. This was our first time here and we will be back for round two soon. It was cozy and inviting. read more

First thing, when we walked in the service was amazing, so welcoming! Awesome environment, TVs to watch the game on, not loud... My husband had the shrimp Poboy with onion rings. I had the "DMV chicken sandwich" with onion rings. I can safely say these were some of the best onion rings I've ever had, I've lived all up and down the East Coast, trust me that says a lot... That chicken sandwich, the mambo sauce makes it, everything comes out of the kitchen, freshly cooked right then and there... Careful! If you're not paying attention, you will burn yourself on the chicken lol... So fresh so good, check this place out awesome stuff! read more

Simple and perfect!. Two lovely ladies working the bar area, delicious sandwiches and great drinks. This was literally a perfect experience for me.

My sister and I love trying new burger spots and WILL travel to test out a new one wherever we see fit to do so. Burgers @ Apollo is a Black owned burger spot that is about a 40 minute drive from the western side of Baltimore County. The restaurant is located near the Temple Hills area, about thirty minutes from DC. We visited on a Monday, a bit before 3pm. There were a few patrons eating late lunches and a few grabbing food to go. The restaurant itself is very clean and spacious. I was uncertain of who was the owner of the establishment, but all of the workers we encountered were very nice and accommodating. My sister and I wanted the full experience, so we went all out and ordered burgers, fries AND shakes! As we waited, I looked around and noticed the homages to the DMV Black culture. Black and white photos neatly line the wall of the restaurant. Before our food came out, I went to the rest room. Nothing special, but it's worth noting that it was nice and clean. Our food arrived to the table, fresh and hot. The burgers are absolutely huge with real beef patties. The sesame seeded buns were perfectly toasted and the veggies were fresh. The pickles had a delicious crispy snap! These were not from the jar as far as I could tell. I will note that if you ask for raw onions on your burger you will get a huge raw slice of onion (I'm assuming these are the onion slices used for the onion rings). That being said, if you want raw onions, suggest that they be sliced thin. The burgers were delicious, but the super star of the show were the onion rings! Omg, they were GOOD! The sauce that came with them was also very tasty. The batter was well seasoned and the rings were nice and crunchy. You can tell they were made in house. The milkshakes were soooo decadent and rich! Both the strawberry and chocolate flavors were worth getting. Thick and delicious. No complaints there. A great way to end a delicious meal. There was nothing to complain about at Burgers @ Apollo! The atmosphere was just right and it's just an all around great burger joint! 5 stars! read more

First black and female owned!! Sooo they sell hotdogs which aren't on the menu yet...I LOVE ME A GOOD HOTDOG! When I first saw it I was like "this looks like a regular hotdog ‍. Then I bit into it and was won over immediately. I was able to customize and loved it! Ask for it! I also ordered the sliders. Waiting until I get home for those. The vibe is niiiiiiccccce. Mellow R&B music, good drinks and friendly owner and staff. Love it! My daughter got the DMV and she loved it! Overall TRY IT! read more

Went this past Friday and got the seafood burger... it was really good. I got the onion rings as well but they were a little salty... I would go back. I met the owner or one of the owners and she was really nice. read more

I got takeout around closing time so I don't have much on the atmosphere. I also don't have pictures because I dove right in lol. There is plenty of parking and the service was pretty nice. I got the original burger and the DMV chicken strip combo (I might have messed that name up lol) with sweet potato fries. Everything was SO good. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Everything was made fresh to order. I definitely recommend this place and will be returning to try other things on the menu! read more

This was a great place to grab a burger in Camp Springs! The staff were very pleasant, and the burger and onion rings were delicious! They had karaoke going on, which was very loud, but was neat to see. I'll be stopping by this place again the next time I'm in the area. read more

I'm not a huge red meat eater, so I've never just gone into this burger joint, despite visiting the shopping center quite frequently. When it was recommended on a Friday I wasnt eager to go, but if you don't have a real plan during happy hour and don't set up before the rush, you miss out. We got here before HH was over (food and drink specials), it was stamped (given a stamp of approval) by the girls (we all woke up late the next morning). My son stamped it as official. The names of the burgers pull at my local heartstrings. The location is very small, the staff are friendly and don't think you're going to watch your waist here. Now, this my lil spot. I'd like to keep it that way, but they deserve their props. read more

Came here for drinks and decided to get a burger and onion rings. The onion rings are really seasoned I mean to the T! lol the burgers needed more seasoning but overall was quality meat.

I made it simple since it was my first time and I was in a hurry.. but let's just say I'll be back soon. Yes overall the burger was just a burger (only because I ordered it that way) but the ambiance was something I really liked. Good music playing, good customer service as soon as a walked in and food came out pretty quick. I will definitely be back to try out the drinks. I think this a cute place to come back and chill during the middle of a work week. O and that slice of cake.... Don't pass on it! read more

This place is super convenient in that there is a ton of parking. Has bar and some table seating. Service was personable. Nice vibe as well. The burgers were good, a little pricey but good. They were out of ketchup and some other condiments... as well as some of the fountain drinks were out. I would definitely go back. read more

Beautiful location, but horrible service. I ordered a burger and waited over 40 minutes! I mentioned the long wait to one of the ladies who worked there, and she said it was due to shift change, and the lady before her forgot to communicate my order to her. I asked for a refund. The lady said she could not refund the money immediately because I did not pay cash. She stated she would call her admin to initiate the refund and that it would take 3 days to process. The lady refused to call the admin while I was present and promised she would later. I never received my burger or my refund. This restaurant stole my money, lost my service, and gained a 1-star review. I do not support this business. read more

Overall a fun little spot for a great burger, good music and good times. First off there is very easy parking. There is a private lot as the restaurant shares parking along a strip mall. This is a newer spot and it's kind of small but is like a hole in the wall bar. Drinks are strong. They host weekly Happy hour and karaoke on Wednesday. Drinks are half off during happy hour 5-7. They were very busy. I Recommend getting there as close to 5 as possible to have a seat. I ordered the Jive Turkey which is $8 right now and it's a Turkey burger that you can fully customize with cheese, bacon, veggies and the various sauces they offer including mambo sauce. They have a variety of other sandwiches and also serve chicken tenders. The sandwich was delicious and made fresh to order. Fries were also piping hot and perfect. You can order from the pay by phone app which is very helpful as it's quite noisy when it's busy. Definitely highly recommended and will probably be returning soon. read more

Burgers@ Apollo - Jive Turkey - Burgers Near Me - Camp Springs, Maryland

This spot is a blast -- I met some friends there after work because I heard about a karaoke happy hour. Usually those things are separate -- people enjoy happy hour and THEN sing. But in this case, you can do both at the same time!!! It also gave me an opportunity to support a fairly new (2021) local Black-owned business. So I heard about how poppin' the place gets, so I was surprised by the size when I stepped in -- it was relatively small! The bar could hold... 6 people, and there was a high table for 3-4 folks near the front door. There was a long bench with some tables along it to allow for multiple groups of 4... Comfortably, I think 15-20 people can be seated. There's plenty of standing room, but if it gets crowded and you're just trying to order out, it can definitely be awkward for some. Maybe it's good they close at 9 -- any later and it'd be a CLUB lol. So I sat at the bar and saved a seat for my friend... by 5:45, I'd say the bar was pretty full... around 6:15, all the tables were. My advice is to get there as close to 5 as possible if you want your desired happy hour seating. They have physical menus and online menus -- you can order online, which I recommend because I don't think the staff really got to take a breather from the second I got there. Once you do that, your order, whether it be a drink or food, comes out in a reasonable time. Their happy hour is from 5-7, and offers 1/2 priced cocktails, $5 wines, and some deals on shots, rails and beers. I tried their sidecar and long island... that's some STRONG stuff, but for $7, very good! I was able to freely get water from the fountain machine nearby as well. They have a new turkey burger deal for $8 where you can customize it however you like! I decided to get jalapenos, mambo sauce, tomato and lettuce on mine. I really enjoyed it!! The bun, turkey patty itself and everything were delicious and flavorful! I would love to return there and try more of their burgers and such in the future. I will definitely be back. read more

The world, well my world, KNOWS that I love myself a professional burger!!! Undecided about where to even begin, because I like the works, it was recommended that I try the Apollo Burger... with the works!! It comes pretty standard but I agreed that added gilled onions, mushrooms, bacon, egg, and even avocado was more my burger style. The Apollo was juicy, well seasoned, and humungous! It was was too big for me to eat in one sitting but it made for even better leftovers. The DMV Chicken sandwich with mambo sauce that my guest had along with the Chicken Tenders was the bomb as well. I even sampled the Chocolate City Milkshake when I don't even like chocolate! It was sooo good & creamy, smooth, rich and quite chocolatey. When asked by Lonnie if I was familiar with The Real Milk & Honey located upstairs he offered to give me a tour while the remaining staff were closing & cleaning up. Historically, I stopped being a fan of the previous locations many many moons because of one bad customer service from Management but Lonnie assured me that a lot has changed and I promised to return soon. The owners were both extremely hospitable from beginning to end and left me pleasantly pleased and fulfilled. I can't wait return! read more

Hands down thee best chicken tenders I've ever had. They were seasoned so well I could taste the onion powder. I'm not exaggerating. They were the most flavorful tenders I've very had. I'm mad I didn't try these sooner. Everything else they have here is pretty good but those tenders. I need to go again this eeek for some more. Service was also speedy and friendly. Ambiance was great. The establishment was clean on the inside. I highly recommend this. read more

Burgers@ Apollo - The Original Burgers with Onion Rings - Burgers Near Me - Camp Springs, Maryland

Visited this spot twice. The first time, we ordered for pickup online -- they were rather busy so service was a little slow, but they never stopped checking in with us as we waited. We were greeted with smiles as soon as the door opened, and welcomed to a nice relaxing atmosphere with live music. I could have been upset about the wait, but the food was delicious. The bay filet - that fish was seasoned and fried to perfection and the onion rings were possibly the best tasting onion rings I have ever had. Whatever is in that batter is top notch! The Shoreberry milkshake was soooo good - the real strawberries in it made it even better. So that first night was good, I had to return. The next day for lunch I stopped in after doing Wreaths Across America and needing a nap. Again, I was pleasantly pleased. It wasn't as busy, so spent a little stone speaking with staff, and it made for a nice afternoon accompanied by great eats and that chocolate city shake is something I'd drive back to Maryland for. Whew! I will definitely be back to try more of this menu! read more

I went here with my brother for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised by this black-owned and operated burger spot. The staff was very friendly and you have the option to dine in or takeout. We opted to dine in. You pay for your food prior to sitting and everything was freshly prepared. The fish came out hot, extra crispy, well-seasoned, and moist. My burger was also cooked to perfection, and was not dry at all. The fries were hot and crispy. This place has a full bar and I am almost positive it turns into a lounge scene in the evenings. Because it was so early in the day, we opted not to get drinks, but I will definitely be back as the cocktails featured on the menu are at a good price point and the food was good. I will definitely be back again and I recommend that if you have not been here, that you should try it out. read more

The Apollo Burger is amazing and you can customize it to your liking. The music is also a vibe. My friends enjoyed going as well.

Ironically enough, the best sandwich at a place called Burgers @Apollo is...their CHICKEN sandwich. Don't get me wrong, the burgers here are good, but the DMV is amazing. A ginormous chicken breast is nicely breaded and deep fried until it reaches peak GBD (Golden Brown Delicious) state. The chicken is then placed between a brioche bun with pickles, lettuce, and sweet/salty/sticky Mambo sauce. I also add grilled onions and jalapenos at no extra charge to amp up the flavor. I usually dine in when I'm at the office, and when the sandwich hits your table, you first notice how large the portion size is. I usually cut it in half and eat half at work and then save the other half for dinner. And then after your first bite, you have that nice textural "crunch" followed by the noticeable but not overpowering seasoning. The toppings and mambo sauce complete the flavor profile. You can add the seasoned fries if you have a large appetite, but I find the DMV is more than enough; in fact I usually have to drink an afternoon coffee to fend off food induced sleepiness. read more

Placed an online order for pick up last weekend. The online ordering process is easy-peasy and gives you the option to schedule a pick-up time. What I got: JIVE TURKEY + FRENCH FRIES Decent.

I've been a handful of times since my original review. Based on multiple experiences, I would say it's a solid 3.5. The pros are all listed in my original review: - tasty food with the ability for some customization. I've had the original burger and also The DMV chicken sandwich -fries (the right parts crispy and NOT salty) -ample parking The downsides: -lack of online ordering (this may be in the works, so perhaps only a temporary issue) -customer service...not always the most welcoming vibe (there's inconsistency) I still recommend Burgers@Apollo. They are a great addition to the area and I look forward to their continued growth. read more
