If you’re looking for geek food don’t eat here. Got the Greek rice bowl and it was Mexican rice with a red marinara sauce on it. I didn’t eat it and left it on the table.

Went to UTC to pick up my younger daughter and friend from a day of shopping, and arrived too early. Was craving a gyro and saw this place nearby. Nice spot, clean ,fast and friendly service. Gyro was sliced off the spit, not the premade Kronos brand that you throw on the grill that most places use. I really enjoyed the gyro, well seasoned with a nice addition of tomato,onion and tzatziki. Definitely recommend

We love Pappas! Seriously, they make so much of their food on the premises. And they make it fresh everyday. If they run out of something, that's it for the day. They don't keep things frozen for a week. I've had just about everything on the menu and it's all really good. They have a dessert, it's like a bread pudding, that is better than anything you've had all month. And BEST potato salad!! This is not fast food. This is quick serve made fresh everyday. Wonderful staff!!

First time visit. I ordered the spanakopita, it was good but was not necessary to have a pile of tzatziki served with it. A 2 oz portion would be sufficient not half a container full. Also completely unnecessary to have shredded lettuce underneath the spanakopita. Save on your food cost. Also I ordered the cafe salad which I was told was a smaller size of your Greek salad minus the potatoe salad. It was served with no dressing and I don't know what cheese was on there but it wasn't feta. Looked and tasted more like thinly shredded mozzarella. Girl at the counter was pleasant and the place looked clean.

Tried dolmades: Rather than good customer service, woman taking the order said (after not receiving them at table and asking) that there were only two dolmades. She Was planning to adjust the price to two; as noted on other comments, this seemed cheap on their end. Ultimately got the two left-over free; free was better, as they were not good. Tried pita and tzatziki: green onions were novel; have never seen such. They were ok, though. Fries with tzatziki had cilantro (?). Rice bowl is more like Mexican-Greek fusion.Not impressed. Cheap, doesn’t cause good impressions. I perceive little interest in making a customer, and keep them coming back; so I won’t.

Visited for lunch…. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich and a cup of soup. Waited for 30 minutes and finally had to leave. When I was leaving they told me my order was almost ready and would give to me as takeout. Then they were so confused about which order was mine I realized they had no idea if it was almost ready. To be blunt, this was the most disorganized restaurant operation I’ve ever witnessed. I guess I made an $18 donation. Gordon Ramsey couldn’t fix this place!!

I ordered the large Greek salad along with humus and pitas. The Greek salad is usually very good here. However, it seems to taken off the potato salad at the bottom. I'm not sure if they no longer include it anymore. The owner who was working the register was very rude. My gf who has a thick Spanish accent. The owner was very disrespectful on the accent. We were very tempt to just walk out from that point but chose to stay. Very bad taste in our mouths.

It was a great meal! They are so nice, food come quickly, Greek salad is delicious-make sure to mix from the bottom beciase there is yummy potato salad hiding there. Gyros were delicious and as Israeli’s, who make our own falafel, they make a really yummy partially green on the inside falafel!Highly recommend taking a trip there! It’s worth it!!!!

Outstanding spot for lunch. The Pappas Greek salad is made to order, huge (big enough for 2), delicious and has some unique touches like a scoop of potato salad under all the fresh greens and always arrives quickly. I also really like the authentic gyro with the homemade tzatziki. The staff is polite and actually brings your order to the table served in real plates / bowls and silverware. It's family owned, extremely clean and very well run.

I don't think I've ever left a review on a restaurant before, but I felt inclined to do so this time. This place was gross. We went in with high hopes, were super patient with new learning staff, and spent $60 and ended up leaving half our meal on the table and left hungry. We are never ones to waste food and aren't picky, but this was actually horrible, somewhat inedible, and definitely the worst 'Greek' food we've ever tried. Instead of fresh diced tomatoes, they just dumped cold canned tomatoes on my Greek bowl and smothered it to the point it was literally a tomato bowl with cold, old rice, and the chicken in everything we ordered was the pre sliced, pre frozen fake chicken that kids eat. The tzatziki was like three tablespoons of dip and we got 3 dolmas that were half the size of a normal dolma, piping hot (supposed to be cold or room temp), sloppily made and the meat had a gamey flavor and fell apart the second you picked it up. We would never recommend this to anyone and save your money. We left feeling gross, hungry, and out 60 bucks lol.
