Shrimp and grits at the Acropolis Four Stars Grill is served with a vegetable medley, featuring squash and tomatoes, and a Greek salad with feta cheese.Though new restaurants featuring local, handmade cuisine are popping up in Chattanooga like mushrooms after a rain, the Acropolis Four Stars Grill was years ahead of the trend.
From its opening in 1995 on Hamilton Place Boulevard, the Acropolis has built its reputation on fresh ingredients, expert preparation and pride that everything put on the tables, from bread and soup to salad dressings and its luscious desserts, is crafted by hand in its own kitchen.
Though the second generation of owners Teddy and Betty Kyriakidis’ family is carrying on the business — son Savas Kyriakidis runs Niko’s on the Southside downtown — the Acropolis is an old reliable where patrons can count on tasty food, attentive service and reasonable prices.
The Menu
It’s hard to pick out one dish or even a single style of cooking from the Acropolis’ extensive menu — fish and shrimp, beef, pork and lamb, pasta and vegetables are all on the menu.
