😠 I have always said you can't mess up a Greek Salad and Louis Pappas made me realize yes you can. The salads are premade and who knows how long they had been sitting there. There were beets on the salad that bled all over the wilted lettuce. The tomatoes had been too cold or frozen so were inedibl... People often mention chicken, pita,

    I wish I had read reviews before wasting money here. This is what I got for a chicken Souvlaki sandwich. Few pieces of chicken dumped on a pita bread, lot of bad Tzatziki sauce. Complete soggy mess, absolutely tasteless. Whoever made it seems to be clearly disinterested in the job in my opinion. As someone who's been to Greece and loves Greek food, I was thoroughly disappointed in this. I'd recommend not wasting money here. Go elsewhere.

    I have always said you can't mess up a Greek Salad and Louis Pappas made me realize yes you can. The salads are premade and who knows how long they had been sitting there. There were beets on the salad that bled all over the wilted lettuce. The tomatoes had been too cold or frozen so were inedible. The chicken pita had the same terrible tomatoes, a lot of wilted lettuce and some very very rubbery chicken. The tzatziki sauce was ok. The server was rushed even though I was the only one there. We hate wasting food but we threw both meals out and went to Burger 21. Definitely would not return.

    I work in the airport. The chicken pita platter is 80% lettuce with a few bad tomatoes and onions. The pita bread itself was fine but cut up so you couldn't actually make a sandwich with it and the chicken was the school lunch cafeteria salad type. And the potato salad.. 0 salt or seasoning. Pretty terrible. PDQ is far better

    Wasn't hungry but I couldnt say no to the aromas I walked by. Grabbed some spanakopita and it was prepared quick and come out hot. Super favorable and I loved the Tzazikki side. Staff friendly and prices reasonable for the airport. Great little snack on the go.

    Not a great gyro. Meat was too thick,about 3 times thickness of a normal gyro. Meat could have been cooked to more crispiness..You would get a way better gyro at any Hungry Greek restaurant. Go elsewhere. Disappointed.

    I wasn't expecting greatness being at an airport, but I was expecting something that tasted remotely Greek. The chicken that came with the pita platter looked like the Perdue shortcuts chicken and had zero seasoning or marinade. The platter consisted of shredded lettuce, the end pieces of an onion and some not so great looking super thin tomato slices ( 3 to be exact and 2 had the core in them). I wish I had thought to take a picture but I never leave reviews. Its just that this was so bad I am still thinking about it the next day. The pita was the only good thing about it. It was beyond awful. Everyone else I was with ordered elsewhere and their food all looked fabulous. Do yourself a favor and order from one of the burger joints or get some pizza you will at least have something edible even though it's not as healthy.

    Arrived at TPA looking to get food and came across Louis Pappas. We asked the workers what time they closed at 6:15 pm and they said 7pm. We went back at 6:37pm to order food after looking at other places and they were already closed… coming from someone who has worked service industry that’s a big no no when it comes to running a business correctly. Very disappointed

    It was less than ok. I had the mojo pork flatbread. But I don’t really expect much at an airport setting ever.

    Gyro is badically just a big pile of meat and raw onion (w/ a couple tomato slices). No lettuce, greens, or Mediterranean toppings. Potato salad very tiny and bland. Disappointing considering the prices.

    Like most fast food at the airport the people preparing the food don't really care about what they are giving the customer. The Gyro was skimpy on the meat. They didn't put a napkin in the bag with the Gyro, so when I got to my gate and prepared to eat I had to stop what I was doing grab all my things and go find a napkin. The taste of the Gyro was fine.

    Very disappointed with the Souvlaki sandwich. It had no seasoning or flavor.

  • 1/5 Anna A. 4 months ago on Google
    Very disappointed in the gyros sandwich - the meat lacked flavor and had not one, but 2 pieces of bone (?) in it. So nasty to bite down on something like that - after that experience, I tossed it out. GROSS!!!
