Weve been to Apollo several times over the last few years and the food has always been good. Unfortunately our last two visits (both over the last month) weve had less than great service. On our first most recent visit we waited about an hour for our food and had to leave with our orders boxed to make a soccer game, without an apology or even an acknowledgment of the wait. Other customers were very upset. We chalked it up to a kitchen snafu. Our latest visit had us waiting in the tiny lobby with no waiting list. We were a larger party so we knew wed be waiting for a table- but as our table was being cleared (after waiting for 30 minutes) another customer walked in and sat down at the table. The hostess kept avoiding walking though our area- it felt like she was avoiding us.. When we asked her about the table she rolled her eyes at us - and then said it was reserved so we left. Its a shame- Ill miss their milkshakes.

Its sad when you get a hair in your food. Its even more sad when its not your waitress hair. I couldnt eat. The server removed the food and said they would remake it, but I just had it boxed. Im home now, looked in the take away container and theres half the amount of food that originally in my plate. Even worse, they didnt remake the order. I can tell this because the shrimp tail I left on the plate is in the box. They just boxed the original order. I spoke with the the female at the register about it and there wasnt any apology, all she asked was which one was it. My serve had dark hair, and since it was blonde i knew it wasnt her. As i looked around I could only tell her that it had to be one of the three women serving with long blonde hair... I know, great investigative work. I wont be returning.

Awful. The food took over 40 minutes for breakfast. I understand if you are getting a specialty lasagna, but eggs and toast should not take 40 minutes. The server was rude. The eggs were not done as I asked (over medium). On top of all this when I talked to the owner about the long wait his reply was, "what do you expect on a Sunday?", In a rude manner. I was baffled and said Leos right down the road always has their food out in 10 or 15 minutes even on a Sunday. He then walks away, and says to the hostess, "let these people pay, and then get them the F**k out of my restaurant." I will advise anyone I know, including family and friends to never visit this coney island.

I grew up in Davison in the 80s and the Apollo was my favorite "watering hole." Its a typical diner atmosphere, but I consider it very homey. The food is is very good (especially the Coney Islands). Ive tried Coney Islands in Detroit and they are pretty much fancy chili dogs. The combination of Apollos meat topping, mustard and onions ... not to mention the Koegels hot dog ... is outstanding! I live in New York State now and ALWAYS make it a point to stop at the Apollo when I come home. And when I do, the "coneys" taste the same as I remember them in the 80s.

Service was absolutley HORRIBLE. Sat for 15 minutes before we even got our menus. Then after ordering, we had no food after 45 minutes of waiting. The server was absolutely the worst I have ever seen, couldnt even refresh drinks. We were entertained during the long wait watching some of the wait staff argue with one another. When we took the issues up with the manager, he said he could care less! How does a business run like this? Cannot comment on the food as we never were served.... STAY AWAY FROM THIS GREASE HOLE AND THE LAZY WAITSTAFF!!! FOREWARNED!!

Hands down, worst Coney Island/diner style restaurant I have ever been to. I couldnt serve their food to my dog. In fact, I wouldnt let my dog be served by their "I hate life" waitstaff, either. Tried to eat here twice (because the people I was with wanted to) and it was just gross instant food, instant beverages, zero friendliness and the whole place looked like a dump. Ive never been back and have never regretted it. If youre in Davison, there are a ton of diners and coney islands to pick from. Spend your money anywhere but here.

Have been there 3 times in the last year. Waited over 50 minutes after ordering each time without even so much as an apology from anyone. Thought wed give them another chance about a week ago and we just got up and left after 45 minutes without saying anything. Service and wait time is worst Ive ever experienced for a greasy spoon type place like this. Their food isnt even worth a 20 minute wait to start with so I would only recommend this place to someone I would like to piss off. Gave them one star because zero wasnt an option.

Staff was very friendly and courteous. Ordered a steak and it was exactly how I ordered it. Salad and loaded baked potato were very good as well. Only negative was a comment I overheard from one of the male workers speaking negatively of soup and that only old people and poor people eat soup. Normally this wouldnt bother me but it was followed by him speaking negatively about soup kitchens. For my first visit 4/5.

We were ignored while multiple tables came in, ordered, received their food, and ate it. When we asked how much longer our omelette and pancakes would be a second waitress that was standing their berated us for asking. Turns out either the waitress never put our order in or the kitchen lost our ticket. When the food came out the omelette wasnt completely cooked but I wasnt waiting another hour for a second one.

We were talking with some friends a couple of weeks ago and we were looking for a different good restaurant to try. They recommended the Apollo Family Restaurant. So we thought wed give it a try. Just came back from a great dinner. Our waitress, Diane, was super friendly, helpful and prompt in taking care of us. I would recommend Apollo to anyone looking for an excellent home cooked meal.

This is a standard coney island with above average breakfast. The service was fast and very friendly. Breakfast came with 4 good size links of sausage and my eggs were cooked perfectly. The gravy was very good on my bisquits and gravy with a lot of sausage pieces. Unfortunately the bisquits were a bit gummy and did not taste home made. Overall I like this place and will be back.

Excellent coney island. A bit slow when they are busy but thats life. They have several good dishs but I often go for either a coney or hamburger. The burgers are great and come from an actual butcher not a freezer. The coneys have actual coney sauce not just chili sauce. Been going there for over a decade and the staff has always been very polite.

The service was poor tonight but, I think it was because there seemed to be a large Senior Citizens crowd taking over all the waitresses attention. It appeared to be the problem with us having poor service but, the food was still very good when we finally got it. Will try it again in the near future and hope for better results.
