    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!

    I love this place! The new location is just perfect. The same great food is served. The staff is always so nice and the gyros are bomb.

    Ask the Community - Pappa Gyros

    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.

    I know the name is Old School Burger but the owners are from Venezuela and they have some back home…read morerecipes. One of them is the papusaa. I ordered the Loco, off the menu, but from a trusted source. And a bottle of Modelo Negra to set the mood. The plate came out and the papusa was huge. Big as the plate. With a side of slaw and tomato dipping sauce. I was set. I'm not a slaw fan so sent that back but got to the main event quickly. The Loco Papusa had pork meat, beans, spinach and chz. It was amazing. Ive had Papusas from Central America and thaw are the two deal. I've had their burgers and the Papusas ame both are great can't go wronh.

    Customer Service: 5 Stars Cleanliness: 5 Stars…read moreQuality of Food: 5 Stars Entertainment: music / TV / volume etc. no complaints Restrooms: Clean and don't have a stench of urine or other unpleasant odors. Offers beer, wine, and happy hour The old school Burgers I'm used to: Toast their buns and I love a toasted bun. They also offer Turkey burgers. I've tried the turkey burger once and the meat patty reminded me of a smash burger style patty, so next time, I think I'll get two. I also customized the burger with bacon, blue cheese, pickles, and a hard fried egg which made for a nice addition of flavors. Queso tasted home made. Cleaned the bowl! Sweet potato fries, let's say they've managed to achieve a nicely cut proportionate fry with the authentic sweet potato flavor and texture that's not soggy.
