This is by far the best Gyro I've ever had, for the best price, too. I tell all my friends about this jem of an eatery. You'd never know such amazing things could come out of a gas station.
Excellent lunch! Not what you expect from a gas station / convenience store. They have a little patio out back. Very nice!

A restaurant that seems to have completed the life cycle of a local favorite.
When I first went here seven or eight years ago I remember it being a charming experience. It was family run and you could see the owner right there in the kitchen. You knew he was the owner from the newspaper clippings hung on the wall by the counter touting the restaurant’s beloved status. The interior was a nostalgic throwback and you could see the food prepared right in front of you. In a gas station. It was fun.
But little by little Papu’s has worn out its charm. The prices crept up, but the food got worse. The staff I recognized slowly disappeared, orders got lost, waiting time went up, and food got cold. But that’s the price you pay to support local family owned business I thought. So I kept going. Until today.
When I called in my order only for it to get lost. When I got to the restaurant only to wait 25 minutes after ordering again. When I told the staff four times what I had ordered and watched as two other people who came in after me were served. When I finally left and was followed to my car by two staff members where they forcibly held the door to my car open and berated me.
The problem? They wanted to be paid. The other problem? I had already paid. 25 minutes earlier. I had paid the same staff member who handed me my food eventually. The same one who presumably lost my order. Who asked repeatedly what I had ordered.
And now the owner from the newspaper clipping had followed me to my car and is threatening me. Papu’s is like that newspaper clipping which is still on the wall, yellowed and faded. It’s also no longer a small local family owned business. It’s now a franchise with multiple locations.
So I might as well go to Meddys. The cost of a Hummus Stacked Bowl there is $12.99. The cost at Papu’s? $10.99 and disappointment at what it has become.
The hummus appetizer comes with only ONE piece of small pita. It’s not even close to enough needed to eat the hummus given.

Don't be fooled by the surrounding gas station, these guys know their gyros. Depending on the order size and how busy they are it might take some time for food to be ready, but I think that's expected.

A very affordable, lovely lunch! Not as fast as fast food though, so if you're on your lunch break, best order ahead. Easy to eat vegan with the kinds of modifications a vegan is used to making, but note that the tabouli comes with feta by default, so you'll have to order it without that. The hummus, falafel, and tabouli taste great! Will be going back.
