Apollo's Steaks | Our Story
Growing up on real cheesesteaks
Apollo King-El Jr. was raised in Philadelphia, where a proper cheesesteak is a standard — not a novelty. He grew up knowing the difference between a sandwich that's just filling and one that's genuinely right.
Planting roots in Newnan
Apollo carried the flavors of his city south and opened on Newnan's historic downtown square at 33½ East Broad Street — a small Georgia town that, as it turns out, was ready for the real thing.
The craft behind every sandwich
Thinly sliced marinated sirloin, sweet red peppers, plump earthy mushrooms, and melted American cheese — all enveloped in a lightly toasted Amoroso roll. Cheesesteak purists who've walked South Philly's streets have taken notice.
More than cheesesteaks
Chicken, fish, and veggie cheesesteaks share the menu with fried catfish, wings, Southern sides like collard greens and mac and cheese — plus Philadelphia water ice in eight flavors.
A seat at the table
Apollo's is family-owned and feels like it — every plate goes out with the care of someone who grew up eating this food and means it personally.
