    Baklava

    One of my favorite things as a Realtor is working in different neighborhoods is discovering incredible local spots like this one. I stopped in before an open house nearby, and it ended up being such a highlight of my day. The moment you walk in, it feels like a true family-owned Greek diner--unpretentious, warm, and inviting. Chris, the owner, welcomed me with a big smile and took the time to walk me through the specials, which says a lot about the pride and care behind this place. I ordered the gyro combo and it was next-level. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, stuffed generously with all the classic gyro essentials, and wrapped in warm, soft pita. Every bite was balanced and satisfying. The fries were fresh, hot, and flavorful--not an afterthought at all. And the baklava? Flaky, sweet, and rich without being overpowering--absolutely delicious. Don't skip the house hot sauce--it adds the perfect kick and takes the gyro to another level. This is exactly the kind of locally owned business that makes a neighborhood special. Incredible food, genuine hospitality, and the kind of place you confidently recommend to clients, friends, and anyone who wants to experience the area like a local. I'll definitely be back.

    Finally made it to their new location. Very nice upgrade. The menu is much larger now. We tried the Detroit dog and it was just the hot dog fix we needed.

    Food was amazing!  we will 100% be back!

    Original Gyros Combo

    Saw Pappa Gyros on the Texas Bucket list and had to give it a try. I got the lamb gyro combo and it was huge. Fresh ingredients and great service so I will definitely return

    I prefer the gyro plate to a gyro. The gyro will not have as much flavor. Because of the pita, vegetables, and sauce. The plate has double the meat. I eat it as is. To get the full buttery flavor. I also love the small Greek salad. Super delicious. The baklava was nice. A tad bit dry

    Gyros Plate

    I've been here twice so far The first time we ordered out, got the gyro plate with lamb. Everything was great. The pita bread was fresh. The meat was moist. The rice was fresh and cooked perfect. 10/10 However, my second time here was a dine in and was not the best . I ordered the same thing...gyro plate with lamb. The lamb was cooked good however the rice was extremely stale and tasted old as goes with the pita bread. I was very disappointed this time. 5/10 My son got the Philly cheesesteak gyro he said it was bland. 6/10 The Taziki sauce was also very bland 4/10

    Haven't been here in a while and came in since I was craving some basic American food. This is a Greek-owned northern style diner that serves both American classics and Greek options such as gyros, Greek salad, and more. Order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. We got a burger, hot dogs, and the loaded Philly cheesesteak fries. Everything was great and fresh. Not oily at all. The burger was my favorite. It has this unique texture that is hard to describe but it's really great for $8.99. You can get it for cheaper during their happy hour. The fries were really good, nice texture being crispy and fluffy on the inside. The hot dog was good but something about the chili was putting me off and I'm not sure what. Maybe a spice like nutmeg or something which I particularly hate in my savory food. There was also an insane amount of mustard that it was pouring off with each bite. I'd try another hot dog in the future but I really recommend the burger, fries, and their gyros. They serve off brand sodas. The interior is nicely decorated and very clean. Wish they would be open late some days for that true diner experience. Would also be nice to put in some booths. Check it out sometime!

    SO MANY THINGS TO CHOOSE FROM!!! I've passed this place a couple times now and while I was in the area today I decided to finally try it out. First off, it smells delicious in here. There so many things to choose from and everything sounds good. I ordered the original papa gyro and the Philly gyro. Both were SO GOOD. I'm already looking forward to coming back here.

    While visiting Houston on a solo business trip, I knew I had to take advantage of the freedom to pick my own meals and see what kind of hidden gems I could find. I first looked at the most recent Yelp 100 to see if anything was reasonably close to my hotel in Katy, and lucky me, Pappa Gyros wasn't too far away! The old school dinner aesthetic was welcoming and cozy. The laminated menu had so many items, front and back, that sounded delicious! I couldn't choose, so I asked the gal at the cash register what a popular chose is for someone who has never been. She recommended Taki's Combo Plate which had a little bit of everything--lamb, souvlaki, dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), pilaf, and I chose to substitute fries rather than a salad. The food was so good--extremely authentic! Souvlaki is one of my favorite foods, and Pappa Gyro did not disappoint. The flavor and char was just right. I ended up eating nearly everything on my plate! I was also impressed their Koulourakia (Greek Easter Cookies). They were nearly as good as my mom's! Pappa Gyros is definitely worth going out of your way for a bite to eat! I am so glad I drove a little extra to be able to enjoy during my most recent trip to Katy. The food was stellar. The aesthetic was comfortable, and the service was welcoming. I'll be back--I'm sure!

    Onion Rings are the best!

    We are midwesterners who are always looking for midwestern food, so when we saw Katy had some, we thought we would try it. The first impression was that it was very clean! The staff was very nice and friendly. They explained everything to us. We ordered some food to eat now and an order to go. They also had Hershey ice cream, which is my husband's favorite so I knew we would be getting dessert as well. I tried the strawberry cheesecake and it was really good! We ordered a combo (sausage and Italian beef) and a Chicago hotdog to go. We ordered a regular gyro, Italian beef (dipped), onion rings, and fries. I have to admit the onion rings stole the show! They were thick and crispy! The fries were good as well. The gyro had good flavor and the Italian beef was ok as well. Not what we were used to eating but good. If you want to try some Midwest food, give it a try!

    Are you open Christmas Eve?

    Does the pita bread have milk or eggs in it? I'm looking for a vegan option here

    No it does not

    Is this location now closed? Everytime we drop by to try it the sign says closed even when we check times

    Hello we are on our annual company vacation, every year around the 4th of July we take a week off so our staff can relax with their loved ones. We’ll be back on Monday have a great weekend.

    Is the gyro meat lamb, beef or a mixture or both?

    I believe it is both. But, you should also know that they season and make their own gyro meat. They do not buy it from a supplier.

    Took an Italian Beef to go.... Need to reheat it or go town at room temperature? I'm sure it's all preference but is it best enjoyed hot /warm?

    How long did you wait to eat it? While we live 15 minutes away or so, the sandwich is double wrapped in foil, put in a paper sack, and then put in a plastic sack along with the fries. The sandwich is plenty warm/hot and ready to go when we get home,… 

    Are there any gluten free options?

    I don't think they have gluten free entrées as such. Although they can definitely make a fresh greek salad 🥗 with their delicious gyro or other meats. Best wishes.

    Is this place halal?

    Yes the gyro meat is halal. Although the owner has said there is cross contamination. So you can try as per your own discretion.

Placed my order and the food came out quickly. The peach cobbler French toast was delicious and layered with flavor. The bread was still firm and not mushy, the microgreens and nuts added flavor and the caramel sauce wasn't too sweet or overpowering. The bacon was smoky and not fatty. The option for a French press for coffee was a nice treat and the addition of the Basil Hayden Bourbon shot was just right. Briana definitely lived up to her name of "The Goat" consistently mixing 2 to 3 drinks at a time while remaining friendly and engaging with her colleagues and customers. Brandon was a joy engaging with the customers at the bar and not missing a beat. Apparently, they have a random assortment of coffee cups and Brandon accurately chose mine. It really made me laugh.

The red chili Brussels sprouts were also delicious! Unfortunately, the food was hit or miss. The mango habanero chicken had good flavor, but the mashed potatoes tasted like boxed potatoes and seemed undercooked. The spinach chicken was a huge portion but needed more seasoning. A little salt and pepper would've gone a long way. Overall, it was a decent experience. I'd come back and try something else, but for me, it was a 7/10. Just sharing my personal experience!

We decided to try the bagel and lox with cream cheese, the Buzz burger with fries, and their homemade chips. They start off by bringing you this beautiful craft of bottled water. That to me was an amazing bonus. We also ordered two sodas which came in a can. I sort of wish it was a more of a fountain drink than one can of soda for the price. *Now service was super slow. However, the waitress did come and tell us that they are running a little behind and she apologized for it and she was super sweet, so that made up for the weight. How do I known how long it was going to take, I don't know if I would've stayed, but in the end, the food was amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend is a hamburger snob and he kept saying how good it was how fresh it was and how perfectly cooked it was. They serve you shoestring fries that feel like they're double fried and they were phenomenal. My bagel was toasted perfectly and had a very good amount of cream cheese and lox. As a Jewish girl living in the area that I do, it's very hard to find good bagels with lox and cream cheese. I will most definitely be back for this sooner than later. The homemade chips took quite a while to come out, and at one point I was ready to say we don't need it, but these potato chips beat Buccees beaver chips, 100%. They were super fresh and very crunchy and tasted amazing. I will definitely recommend those to anybody that orders some. My boyfriend then ordered a tropical sunrise smoothie and it was so tasty and tasted like a strawberry banana smoothie. Now once again that did take a long time to come out and at one point, we were wishing we had not ordered it but once we did get it, it was really good and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is not very large and it's the perfect brunch spot for anybody looking for a smaller Cafe with very good choices.
