Teddy and Savas Kyriakidis, chefs and owners of Acropolis Four Stars Grill, prepare the best eggplant Parmesan in town, according to Ed Zipp, a retired U.S. army officer and East Brainerd resident. His wife, Nancy, is sold on the pan-seared grouper.
“The first day the Kyriakidis family opened its restaurant – which was then called Little Athens – Nancy and I were there,” says Ed. “I don’t believe I had ever had eggplant Parmesan before I had dinner at (the former) Little Athens, but I do love the red sauce and sometimes have chicken with it. The eggplant is sliced lengthwise, so the pieces are about 8 incehs long and 3 inches wide, baked with a crust on top and bottom, and a cheese topping. You will enjoy it – that is a guarantee!”
The pan-seared grouper is served with a lemon caper sauce, and Nancy enjoys the appealing presentation. “It is a mild fish, and it is pan-seared with a light batter so that it is not greasy. I usually get it with their garlic mashed potatoes and their lemon chicken soup. My favorite drink at the Acropolis is the fruit tea – it is decaffeinated, so you can drink it any time of the day.”
For the Zipps, dining at Acropolis is always a great experience. Members of the Kyriakidis family visit with guests at their tables, and enjoying a slice of one of their fresh cakes or pies is a tempting finish to a “four star” dinner.
Meals at The Acropolis range from $10 – $30 per person. This is a product of the ambience and the reputation of the restaurant. The alcoholic beverages are somewhat pricey, costing as much as $6.50 for a mixed drink. The food is authentic Greek, however, and delicious. I recommend that those in the Chattanooga area try the Acropolis.

My family and I have lived in the Chattanooga area for over 35 years and we love dining at the Acropolis. The food, the service and desserts are of the highest quality which keeps bringing us back. It may be higher priced then most in the area but the serving sizes make up for it. It is great to go for special holidays or just for that romantic rendezvous.
So for good food that tastes great and good company, go to the Acropolis. Where special times happen!
