Why This Menu’s Numbers Matter
Calories, fat, and sodium swing a lot across sandwiches and combos. A classic single sits near the middle. Add pastrami or an extra patty and you jump to the top of the range. Salads help, yet dressings and cheese can rival a small burger. Knowing the spread lets you build the meal that fits your day.
Nutrition Facts For The Apollo Menu Burgers
Here’s a snapshot of popular picks pulled from the brand’s posted tables, plus reliable databases where useful. Use this to ballpark choices before you order, then check in-store boards for the latest build specs.
| Item | Calories | Sodium (mg) |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Apollo Burger | 670 | 1670 |
| Junior Hamburger | 550 | 790 |
| Athenian Burger | 990 | 1710 |
| Hawaiian Teriyaki Burger | 910 | 2810 |
| Mushroom Swiss Burger | 900 | 940 |
| Tangy Bleu Bacon Burger | 1000 | 2620 |
| Broiled Chicken Salad | 350 | 1030 |
| Crispy Chicken Salad | 490 | 1210 |
| Vanilla Shake (small) | 580 | 300 |
On sodium, a single sandwich can hit a third to more than a full day’s reference amount. The sodium Daily Value sits at 2,300 mg for adults, so a teriyaki-style burger may leave little room for the rest of the day.
How To Build A Better Basket
Start with the base. A single beef patty and plenty of vegetables puts you in a manageable zone. Cheese adds flavor; one slice keeps it tidy. Pastrami brings a salty punch, so save it for days when the rest of your meals run lighter. Bacon bumps fat and sodium; tasty, but not an everyday default.
Mind sauces. The signature spread and teriyaki glaze deliver sugar and salt. Ask for light spread, glaze on the side, or switch to mustard. Small toggles stack up across a combo and keep the numbers steady.
Watch sides. Fries and fry sauce move the meal higher, while a side salad with a measured pour of dressing holds the line. If you want dessert, plan for it: split a shake or go for a plain cone.
Reading The Label Like A Pro
Two values steer fast decisions: calories per item and %DV for sodium. %DV helps you see if a single order is low or high—5% is low, 20% or more is high—per FDA sodium guidance. For sugar, aim to keep added sugars under 10% of daily calories, a benchmark echoed by the CDC added sugars page.
Ingredient Moves That Change The Math
Beef Patty Vs. Chicken
A grilled chicken build trims saturated fat while keeping protein strong. Crispy chicken raises calories from breading and oil. If you want fried texture, pair it with lighter sides to offset the trade.
Pastrami, Bacon, And Cheese
These toppings bring a lot of punch for a small volume. Pastrami and bacon pack sodium; blue cheese and Swiss stack saturated fat. Choose one topper you’re craving and let the rest ride the bench.
Sauces, Glazes, And Dressings
Teriyaki glaze brings sweetness and extra salt. Signature sauce adds oil and sugar. Ask for light spread or swap to mustard and extra pickles for snap without the extra count.
Allergens And Special Orders
The chain posts an allergen chart that flags common ingredients across buns, patties, sauces, and dressings. If sesame, dairy, or soy is a concern, scan that chart, then confirm at the counter before you order.
Sample Orders For Different Goals
Here are three sample builds that fit common goals. Mix and match as needed.
| Goal | Order Idea | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Lighter Lunch | Single hamburger, side salad, mustard | Good protein with fewer extras |
| Balanced Treat | Mushroom Swiss, share small fries | Flavor hit; sodium stays moderate |
| Protein Priority | Grilled chicken salad, add extra chicken | High protein, lower calories |
How The Numbers Were Chosen
Figures for signature items, salads, and shakes reflect the brand’s own tables. Where an item wasn’t listed, values were cross-checked against major databases that index restaurant items. Menu boards and builds can change by location, so treat this as a planning tool and verify on the day you order.
Practical Tips That Save Calories And Sodium
Size Matters
Junior items punch above their weight. You get the same flavors with fewer total calories, and sodium often drops with the portion.
Customize Smart
Hold pastrami on a day you want fry sauce, or split a shake and keep the burger simple. Those little swaps make room for the one thing you’re craving most.
Hydrate Wisely
Pick water, unsweet tea, or a diet soda. Save sweet drinks for dessert days. It’s the easiest win on the board.
What About Shakes And Sweets?
Shakes land anywhere from the upper 500s to over 900 calories depending on size and mix-ins. If a sweet treat is the point of the meal, move the main to a lighter lane. Share a shake, or pick a plain cone and keep the rest simple.
Takeaways You Can Act On
Scan the menu for a single patty or grilled chicken, add vegetables, and go light on salty extras. Watch the sauces and dressings. Pick one splurge—pastrami, fries, or a shake—and build the rest around it. You’ll leave full and still be on track for the day.
