This has been one of my favorite restaurants since 2010. I don't know if there has been an ownership change, but the last few times I have been there it has fallen short and been very disappointing. The wait staff is ill trained. They don't know how to have the food order come out without asking whether or not you want them to put in an entree order after you have ordered an appetizer. The food quality is inconsistent with seasonings varying from each visit. This was never a problem in the past. The hostess isn't professional and we saw her pickup salt and pepper shakers and flatware that had fallen on the floor and set them right back on the table for the next seating. I tried to let one of the waiters know that the table that was bused next to mine, still had water rings and had not been completed wiped by the hostess. He seemed aggravated, wiped the opposite side, though I had pointed out where it was still soiled and had a snarky attitude. I write this in hopes that the situation will improve. The thought that it will continue to decline is distressing. I wish them the best and would hope that they would like to know from a loyal customer that things are off.

I went here due to a recommendation from a friend and wanted to give it a try. The first time I dined here I really didn't care for the meal I had ordered but the wait staff did an excellent job of service and were friendly and while I was eating I noticed my waitress had passed me with someone else's meal on her way from the kitchen. I thought it looked like a huge steak sandwich and was impressed so when she came back I asked her what that was and she told me it was one of their best sellers, a burger!! I decided at that moment that even though my current meal was not all that impressive I just had to try the burger sometime so came back to do just that!! This place knows how to make a burger!! It is huge, juicy and very filling!! So, sometimes we just have to give a place a second chance!! They can thank my cute little waitress for being so efficient and friendly for my returning. The layout and atmosphere is average but the right meal and the perfect waitress will make up for that!! Give this price a try if you enjoy Mediterranean type food and you enjoy something besides the burger, BUT, I would definitely go back for the burger and great service with a smile!!

Authentic, Fresh, and Full of Flavor!

The Pita Stop is a true gem in Vestavia Hills! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and the mouthwatering aroma of authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful — the lamb gyro and chicken kabobs are must-tries, and the hummus is some of the best in town.

The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a relaxed dinner, The Pita Stop delivers every time. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious, homemade Mediterranean food!

Great dining experience. Casual dining, reasonable pricing, attentive service but not intrusive. Very enjoyable evening.

Our go to spot! Always consistent and super good!!!!!

This is not what I thought when I was searching for food and saw Pita Stop. When I pulled up this was a full service restaurant with a bar. The food was good and staff/hostess because I got the food to go.

Come to Pita Stop every time I go to Birmingham, it is my Dad's favorite and has quickly become mine.

This restaurant is excellent every time I visit. The food is great, service is excellent and the accommodations are wonderful.
