Apovini Grill

The waitress named Anaid Bekfast refused to give me change for my nickel. I was in a desperate attempt to make sure I had sufficient change to provide an adequate tip of 15%, which would be 69 cents. My serving of fries wss more like, by this I mean very small. She fought with my friend about how good the steak gyro was until the waitresses shift was over. At which point she stormed off yelling obscenities. Then I had to use the bathroom, which was surprisingly clean. I sat in the stall and on the toilet. When I was in the middle of my business, the toilet accidently flushed. Oh my God the suction on the toilet was so strong that I had to hold on to the stall walls to keep from getting sucked down into my own waste. This was not pleasant. When I came back to the seat, the bill was already there. The Bill was 10.35 for my three servings of fries arrived, before I even got to order dessert. Overall the service was horrific, and was my trip to the bathroom. I take that back, my trip to the bathroom was very arousing.

Listen up. This place is the reason bad things happen. It’s the reason I drink. It’s the reason my dog ran away as a child.
I was having a perfectly pleasant day and then I entered this god forsaken establishment. I ordered my food for carry out at 12:05pm and I arrived at the restaurant around 12:30. I was told the food would take 30 minutes to come out.
First of all, the organization of the building is abysmal. I was told to stand near the bar to wait for my order, and I was bumped into by waitresses every 30 seconds. You’re probably thinking, «well stand somewhere else.» Oh and I did. There is not a single spot in this restaurant where you will not be in someone’s way. Some of the waitresses even had the audacity to yell at me for being in the way.
I finally got my food at 1:10 (over an hour later) and the order was wrong. It was sent back to be corrected. Here I am now at 1:20 leaving with my (hopefully) correct order.
You do not want to eat here. You want to eat gas station hot dogs before you eat here. ⁰⁄₁₀ would not recommend.

Love the Apovini. Great breakfast place and great Sunday treat with the kiddos. My youngest gets the full adult order of the chocolate chip pancakes (that way dad can sneak 2 pancakes). They are so good. I get egg white omelets with jalapeños and brocolli. Big and tasty, not at all greasy and not just filled with starch, but good tasty veg. The people are great and the service is very kid friendly. Love the Apovini.

I’ve been to Apovini several times, but today’s experience really ticked me off. As other reviewers have mentioned, they have great salads and the grilled chicken they add is really tasty. Now what you’ll pay for that «great salad» is another thing altogether. I called in for a SMALL Apovini salad with no dressing. When I picked it up, it was $ 11 and change. And that’s without the $ 2.95 chopping fee (which is absurd)! I had to wonder how much a large salad would’ve cost!
But, having been there before, I wasn’t too surprised… that is, until I got back to my office and realized they’d given me the wrong salad. I was pretty irritated (if you pay 11 bucks for a salad, you want it to be the salad you ordered!). I was also far enough away that going back was debatable. When I called to tell them about their mistake, the woman who answered wasn’t apologetic and didn’t offer any kind of «make-​good,» like, «Sorry…when you come back, we’ll take $ 2 off.» She asked if I was far and I said, «Far enough.» Then she says I can come back. I asked if it would be ready and she asks me what I’d ordered again. So basically, she was going to have me come all the way back and not have my salad ready?! So I said I’d be back and then changed my mind and called back to cancel the order. At least I had the courtesy to tell them I changed my mind, which is frankly, more than they deserved. I’m over them.

I have been here many times, great Greek salad with chicken with the pink dressing. Beware though they nickel and dime you for the littlest things, for example my wife ordered her salad chopped, they charged her $ 3 extra to chop her salad and never tell you there’s a fee. When you get a take out order and ask for something on the side they charge you a .50 per container fee etc etc. I think it sad they do this and I think it makes customers think twice about coming back…

I have been here before and it was «ok» but this visit was horrible. It was my 2 children… 6.5 and 10.5 as well as my mom. It was around 2:15 on a Sunday and we stopped in for a late lunch. There were maybe 6 other tables. After waiting a solid 5 mins to be served, we ordered a kids hamburger (plain), kids spaghetti, side salad, a regular cheeseburger and a western omelette. Drinks took a bit longer to get refilled but no biggie. When our orders arrived, the kids burger was the size of a small breakfast sausage patty and was gross to look at. The bowl of spaghetti literally had a teaspoon of marinara sauce, toast was burnt with just a tiny smear of butter and was cold. We sent the burger back as the waitress agreed that it didn’t look appetizing. She brought us more sauce for spaghetti and we never mentioned the toast to her because we thought there would be butter on the table (which there was not). Did I mention we had to get up and find someone to get place settings for everyone? When the server came back she relayed from the cook (owner) that the burger we received is the kids portion in a tone like they were taken back that we dare question the size (or appearance). The server pulled some strings and put in a new regular size burger and said she would still charge us kid price. Cool! But she didn’t leave fries and our kid was left staring at everyone eating. The regular cheeseburger was fine and the western omelette had barely any ingredients. When it came time for the bill and the famous question was asked «how was everything?» the server knew we had a poor experience. The total came to $ 33.45 and was hand written so it was near impossible to see how they got to that price. Needless to say we were not satisfied and this seemed like an inflated amount to pay for 2 kids meals, a burger and a subpar omelette. So she brought the manager over (who must also be an owner). She warned us that the kitchen seemed distracted as family was three picking up a large carry out. She came to our table annoyed that she was being bothered and was actually somewhat on the attack questioning each item we were unhappy with. We didn’t come to lunch looking for a discount or a sucky experience. She told me sometimes this can happen and there’s nothing she can do about the price. I couldn’t believe it. A small $ 5 – 10 discount would’ve been plenty as a show of sympathy to our experience. They will never get our business again and I hope you take warning that their inadequate food is over priced and under portioned. And their people only care about their own.

Great salads. I love their marinated chicken that comes on the Aprovini salad. It’s an upgraded coney island with great breakfast, greek pitas and salads. Reliable and consistently good food with reasonable prices. A great place for a quick lunch, even if you’re eating alone. Be forewarned, it draws a strong lunch crowd from local businesses so it fills up, especially on a friday. Arriving before 12:00 or after 1:00 is recommended.

Really great marinated chicken and Greek dressing! This is worth the extra cost!
Frozen veggies as a side, not so great. They charge for a lot of little extras, such as more dressing, chopping a salad, or chicken on the side, etc. Also they will not allow kids meals for carry-​out. Not so convenient.
Always a little chilly, dress warm.

Apovini has the best chicken gyro I have ever had. Their chicken is perfectly cooked and juicy. The gyro sauce is perfect and fresh. This has quickly become my favorite place for a fast and delicious meal. It’s clean inside and the service is always great. Highly recommend. I’ve been to both locations and they’re both outstanding.

I am getting hungry thinking about the CHICKEN GYROS OMG! Seriously, one of my favorite places in Michigan. The service is excellent, they make their own dressing. Their pancakes are delicious too.
I’ll see you soon Apovini! Miss you!!!

Really good salads. They make their own Greek dressing, (for you gluten free folks does not contain wheat). Fast, friendly service. Great lunch place.

I’m being generous with 2 stars. Based on the quality of the food, it wouldn’t be completely fair to only give one star. The salad was good but really…
BEWARE OF THE $ 2.50 CHOPPING FEE that the server doesn’t tell you about until after you get the bill and question the price
I ordered a large Apovini Salad, chopped, and a diet soda. They gave me one large dressing that didn’t even come close to dressing the entire salad so I asked for one more and was handed a small container. I ordered one more and the waitress informed me I would be charged an additional 75 cents which was fine at the time, until…
I got my bill and it was 19.26 for a salad and soda!!! Are you kidding me?! They are basically a Coney Island so this was a huge rip off. I could have ordered a salad at the Capital Grill for roughly the same price! I’ll be ordering my salads elsewhere! What a joke!!!

I’ve been to Apovini a few of times and it’s a standard decent diner place that works in a pinch. Burgers, fries, sandwiches, and the like are safe bets and they do a decent job at them. I would stay away from the pricier «Daily specials» and higher priced items as they don’t normally turn out to be worth it and the quality is lacking. If you need a place to just eat then it can be a safe bet but I wouldn’t go out of your way for sure to stop by.

Went for breakfast with the family yesterday. Food was very substandard, with extremely dry potatoes, poorly prepared omelette that was missing requested ingredients, and toast with one large clump of «butter» slopped the the middle of it. Pancakes were barely warm and were served with a big plastic bottle of watery Log Cabin syrup plunked down in front of the guest. Charming. The service was terrible with a waitress that was distracted, appeared sporadically, and never returned once food was served. Prices are higher than average for a coney style place, and they won’t do substitutions! Orders were wrong when brought out as well! Floor and restrooms were extremely dirty. Yuck. We will never go back. Try the Maple Leaf instead on 15 Mile. The food is much better and the place is much cleaner and more pleasant all around.

I rarely write reviews but this place is one of the best restaurants around. Just show up at lunch time and the proof is there. The apovini salad is to die for as well as their lemon rice soup. Service is great. Can’t go wrong with this place. :)

$ 3.99 for pancakes, $ 7.99 for pancakes with fruit. Wtf?!? They don’t do substitutions either. Nothing special about the menu.

Food is good, not great. Prices are higher than indicated. Been here a couple of times and the service is abysmal at best. Servers are rushed and asking for your order before the menu has even been opened. After you get your food, the server pulls a vanishing act so you have to approach the counter to get the check. Maybe service would be better if more servers were available.
I do enjoy the food, but the service is bad enough to deter any future visits.

I cannot speak to much of the other food here so my review is going to be extremely limited. I work nearby and get one thing… greek salad with marinated chicken. It is simply the best of the best. I think they mix the greek dressing with red wine vinegar giving it a pink appearance. Whatever is in it, the combination of flavors in this fresh delicious salad is simply fabulous. I eat here once a week and highly recommend it.

Being just around the corner, I heard such great reviews of Apovini from friends, that I just had to try it! Upon entering I was surprised to see it was just your average looking diner on the inside, with those 90’s-style country-​mom-​chic flowery pastel accents. The upside — there was lots of booths and room to sit!
When we got our menus, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of options to choose from. I have heard rave reviews of the salads, but I went ahead and ordered a stacked ham & cheese. The service was good and our food came quickly.
My sandwich was just m’eh. It wasn’t anything to write home about. As a matter of fact it tasted like one I could easily make. Maybe it was my fault for not ordering something grander?
This was about 6 months ago and we haven’t been back. I would probably go back if I didn’t have better options within minutes of the restaurant, but generally, I still don’t understand what all the hype was about.

i can only speak to the Greek Salad with Chicken. it’s phenomenal and gets 5 stars from me. The pita bread that comes with it is also better than average.
Their menu seems typical of a coney place. It’s right by my apartment so take-​out was convenient this week and i thought i’d try it again.
The staff was friendly, my food was ready on time and I have no complaints.
