Apollo’s Steaks Founded by Apollo King-El Jr Philadelphian and Overbrook High school attendee where he ran track and played football. You might also remember Apollo as a young boul standing on top of FairMount Park’s consession stand where his father Apollo King-El Sr groomed the local music scene of Dj’s and Rap crews including Dj Jazzy Jeff & Will Smith,
With such a rich Philadelphia history Apollo’s Steaks was born. We have cheesesteaks, chicken and fish steaks to the flounder, catfish, whiting, tilapia and shrimp sides like baked beans, Mac, collards and potato salad, dessert like water ice and Sammy’s Cheesecake and Apollo’s Steaks also Caters.

After exclusively eating cheesesteaks during a port visit to Philly, I’ve developed a high standard for proper cheesesteak. No cheese whiz but still offering a couple different cheeses combined with perfectly cooked steak and the perfect chewy bread with light toasting made for a very nice lunch with memories of Philly. The fries were quite good too but the Philly filled me up quickly.

First visit. We ordered 3 cheesesteaks for carry out lunch on a Saturday. I requested no mushrooms for myself & it was served correctly. Cheesesteaks were very tasty, packed with meat & cheese on a soft & chewy roll. It’s legit. Apollo’s is not visible from the street, but Google maps took us directly there. No problem to park at this time of day. We ordered ahead online & it was ready at the time stated. We all devoured the cheesesteaks, so no picture 🙂

This place was recommended to me by a coworker. I can appreciate that the fried chicken and fried catfish wasn’t overly salted.I really enjoyed the chicken cheesesteak. The potato salad was my favorite side item. The owner let us try a few flavors of the water ice,very tasty. We will be coming back.

Absolutely excellent catfish, fries tasted like they were homemade. Whiting. mac & cheese both delicious. It was a night we didn’t want to cook. Yummy. Do not miss out on the Philly cheese steaks.

I have never had a cheesesteak from Philly but I imagine this is exactly what it tastes like and I see the hype now. They even have a veggie one. U won’t miss the meat at all. A meat eater would love it. The veggies were seasoned to the gods! The fries were chef’s kiss. Definitely coming back to this hidden gem!

Nothing fancy, but one of the best cheesesteaks I have ever had. Bread soft and steak and cheese delicious. I would give the place 5 stars, but a large ff was $11.75, WHAT??? Granted they were good but they better be for that price..

The Cheesesteaks, Wings & Fish are cooked to order. Make sure you are prepared to wait. They are authentic Philly’s. If you don’t want to go to Philly like we did and your in the area, this is a good option. Nice Size. We ordered 3, 1 was skimpy on the meat. I also had the fried flounder. It was seasoned well and nice and crispy. I don’t care for the fries. They are thick with no season. Definitely have to use ketchup. Mac-N-Cheese needed some salt and pepper, it’s nice and cheesy tho. My mom ordered whole Wings and said they could use more flavor. The shaved ice was the best thing. We had strawberry lemonade. It’s very small inside. Limited parking.

I love discovering hidden gems.
The food did take awhile to arrive to our table BUT it was well worth the wait. Everything was fresh, and HOT when served directly by the owner/cook.
The customer service was good as well. Overall I’d highly recommend to anyone seeking comfort food. Wishing this business continuous growth and prosperity ✨

Best Cheesesteak in South Georgia!
We ordered multiple items off of the menu. Chicken Cheesesteak, beef cheesesteak, shrimp, wings, onion rings, fries , mac and cheese and cupcakes. Everything was well seasoned and hearty. I was not a fan of the chicken wings. Personally thought they were overcooked but my daughter and grandson liked them. Yes you can enter through the back door! We almost missed this hidden Newnan gem due to backdoor not being clearly marked as an entrance. There’s plenty of parking in the rear of the building (come in off greenvile and spring rd). Bring your patience with you, this isn’t fast food…the food is made to order. We will definitely be back. (We want to try the mushroom cheesesteak and the fish cheesesteak) *2nd visit* we tried the catfish and wings (again). The wings were much better this time around.

My parents and I ate at Apollos on September 2, 2023 we went to their newest location near downtown Newnan, I was told by a few friends that Apollos had good food so I decided to check it out when my parents came to visit me. The cashier was nice and knowledgeable about their food items and menu my mom, dad and I ordered fish. I ordered fries and my parents ordered onion rings as a side with their fish. Now the fish I had looked good but it was bland to me my parents liked their fish but the onion rings my parents ordered were burnt and cooked in old grease. We initially told the cashier we were going to order to go but we ended up staying and just eating inside since we were waiting for a while. I guess she didn’t think we were going to stay and dine in but I’m sure she saw the inside of those plates before she bagged them. I also ordered the Philly cheesesteak they are famous for and tried it as well, it was good and costs around $12 or $13 for just the Philly cheesesteak; now if I want a Philly cheesesteak I know where to go but I will be buying fried fish some where else because this place is not it ! I will upload pictures so you can be the judge on how the food looks.
