Growing up in South Buffalo, this place was a staple for our family. The chicken finger pita is my go-to. I absolutely love that thing and will get it every time I am in the area. The rest of the food? Meh at best. They advertise their chicken souvlaki as the best in the area ... there is no way that can be true. They use shredded iceberg lettuce (the same lettuce you get on a sub). The chicken was terribly dry and they have no tzatziki or dill sauce. So it was edible... but barely. The beef taco however? Horrendous. The beef tasted like dog food and there was no flavor to it. Just stick to the pitas. The inside isnt great. Could use a good remodel and scrub down. The hours suck too. Closing by 730pm on a Saturday? What if I wanted drunken food? read more

I stumbled upon this place and thought I would pop in for lunch. They have a large menu and the cashier helped me pick out a chicken Parm pita. The food was incredible and the large size pita was very filling. I tried the buffalo chicken soup which was very flavorful and the perfect amount of heat. I will definitely be coming back to try some of the other items on their menu. read more

Update- Tried this place AGAIN- because there is potential, BUT again, my order was wrong. 3 tries- 3 strike outs. "No onions- I'm allergic" clearly means load it up with onions. I'm not sure if the person getting these orders can't read or they just don't care. I haven't once gotten what I ordered and this was the last time. Uber Eats says that this place is top rated- not sure how that could be if they can't get an order right- ever. read more

SOMEBODY CALL MY MAMA! Okay, but seriously, I'm going to take her to this place when she visits me. Pete N' Paul Pockets is a place that I never heard of until it was my birthday last week and they randomly showed up on Yelp (thanks for the advice yelp!). This place looks either brand new or recently renovated from the outside, offers a good amount of parking, and looks just as great on the inside. The place was packed when I walked in but luckily I also used Yelp to place my order online and beat the lines. I had no idea what a pocket was but boy oh boy, you need to get one. I ordered a buffalo chicken pocket which is basically just a chicken finger sub served in this peta type pocket roll thing (notice my horrible description) with a side order of waffle fries. I will say that the buffalo chicken pocket was not the easiest thing to eat but it was so worth the mess. This thing was filled with buffalo chicken, lettuce, tomato, and mayo and packed one heck of a flavourful punch. The waffle fries I had on the side weren't the best, but they still tasted good and made for an excellent side dish. Overall, Pete N' Paul's Pockets have brought a unique idea and turned it into one fine Restaurant. I loved my experience here and will absolutely be coming back for more in the future! read more

I wanted to love this place because it's the closest establishment to my house but I just don't love it. I've tried it a handful of times and every time it's just okay or the food is cold or bland. It seems to be a pretty popular place for lunch though so maybe I'm just not ordering the right things. There is some room to eat inside but I've always done take out. read more

Why was my food in this bag? I'm afraid to eat it, even though I picked it up. Not a great look to walk back into the office with this bag. read more

Pete 'n Paul Pockets - Why this bag? - Burgers Near Me - Buffalo, New York

A popular lunch stop for many years. Great variety and low prices! Specializes in Pockets (soft, puffy pockets, not wraps) and baked potatoes. Love the variety for each. Taco, beef stroganoff (my fav), and quite a few others. Also, "Buffalo" (spicy) waffle fries, among other usual varieties - curly, sweet, etc. Also like that mini pockets are available. Great when you have a taste for more than one item and can't make up your mind. So many options, so the mini size is a plus! read more

If you've read my reviews of Mary's Good & Plenty, and of course John & Mary's, then the question on your mind is obviously "where are Peter & Paul." I'd be lying if I said I didn't think that Britney Spears' (not my favourite person) song "3" isn't sexy, because it totally is. So when she goes "Peter, Paul & Mary", nobody thinks of this place, but they totally should because all this place needs is a little Mary (i.e. some advertising), and they'd make a killing. What to get: Buffalo Chicken Pita Pocket. I mean seriously, this place is selling little stuffed pita pockets with Greek Chicken and Feta and Salad in it, for like $3. Not even kidding. I wasn't a big fan of that by the way. And this place is also selling a Buffalo Chicken version of these little mini pockets, which in my opinion is much better! Very delicious and well done, with enough chicken fingers in there to make you say "why the hell is this only $3?". You can get larger versions too of course, but for an interesting little budget snack, you can't go wrong with Peter, Paul, Mary & Britney's. I should add that while the food here won't blow you away, and would probably be a 4/5 if it was priced regularly, it easily scores a 5 because of the insanely good pricing. read more

When I was growing up I was completly convinced that Pete 'n Paul's was a drug front (it's South Buffalo, so drugs probably meant Genny Cream Ale). Their hours were super sketchy (they were like 10:45-2:05 on Tuesdays and Thursday only... and they often closed early). But man, when the doors were open was the food sure good! I'm please to announce those ridiculous store hours are no more (Mon-Sat, 10:30-7:30), but the fantastic food is. One of my all time favorite Buffalo junk food lunches is the chicken finger pita pocket. Crispy, brown fingers, lettuce & tomatoes all chopped up and smothered in melted cheddar cheese and mayonaise. It's dished up super hot and loaded with chicken fingers and cheese. Want a tip?: Eat it there. When you take it to-go it's wrapped up in tin foil and the heat from the sandwich creates moisture that can't pass through the foil barrier which compromises the integrity of the pita (it gets soggy). Don't worry, the WHO only determined that red and processed meats cause cancer. Chicken fingers and melted cheese are still perfectly safe for your everyday diet. read more

Menu has many options. Ordered a small crab salad pocket and sweet potato fries. Crab was imitation (which I expected) but fresh not frozen. Came with lettuce and tomato that was also fresh. Pocket was probably the freshest I've ever had, but really small. Fries came with "honey butter" that tasted like honey colored butter (too thin). read more

After a huge detour to the Walden Galleria (don't ask, don't comment), we stumbled upon this little joint. I'm sure this place used to be some sort of fast food restaurant which then closed, and then snapped up by Peter and Paul. The inside is pretty dated, but let's be honest, the whole area here is pretty dated. The friendly guy at the register could tell we were total newbies. We asked what he would suggest and we took him up on his recommendations. What did we have? I don't even remember what they were called. One pita had fried chicken in it with lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, and cheese. I think it would've been better without the cheese. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The pita was soft and pillowy. It reminded me of a McChicken to be honest (that's a good thing). The other pita had steak (like burger meat) and sausage with melted cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, and tomatoes. Both pitas were pretty big so I think they were the large sized portions. This place is alright if you're looking for something not your standard fast food. Also, it's worth a try if you're in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to find this place cuz it's not on the beaten path, especially for outlet/mall shopping. read more

Had lunch at this fantastic little spot today and simply delicious! I thought it would be good but didnt expect the bold flavors and satisfaction I got from a Greek Pita and single order of Waffle fries. Super good and not too heavy in the gut! I also ordered a Chicken Finger Pita for later and cant wait to have it for dinner tonight! One thing to mention is the little side of hot sauce that came with the order, like most places in the area. I figured I would just end up tossing it out like I usually do but when I tasted it, I was surprised by how creamy and ungreasy it was. Very TASTY and ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. One drawback if I have to find one are the hours of operation. This sweet little gem is only open Mon-Sat until 7:30pm and Sundays are closed. This makes me sad and I wonder how many profits escape due to this, but apparently what they do is working since they have been around for YEARS and YEARS!!! Cant believe I havent been here more! Will be visiting again soon! read more

I hadn't been here since I was in HS. I deeply regret not going back sooner. Like most dives in South Buffalo, the place could use a major face lift. But it was clean which is all that really matters to me. I ordered the chicken finger pita with buffalo fries and a chocolate shake. I salivated typing that. The chicken finger pita maybe one of the best things I've ever eaten. The pita was thick. No explanation but it just eats better than a sub. Medium CFs were perfect. I was hesitant to get it with cheese but it completely set it off. The lettuce and bleu cheese added a perfect combination. I ate it way too fast. My shake was also surprisingly delicious. Super thick. Tiny bit disappointed in the buffalo fries. I guess in my mind I pictured them coming out shaken in hot sauce like wings. They simply were waffle fries with a side of wing sauce and bleu cheese. But nevertheless the waffle fries were great. The stomach ache from being beyond full on the way home was well worth it. The cashier also brought us our food. She asked if it was OK for her to sweep while we ate. We had no problem with that but it just seemed weird she would sweep at such a random time on a THUR night. There were lots of folks getting take out and another couple walked in to dine. Turns out they close at 730! That's such a random time to close and there were still people walking in well after. They didn't turn the patrons away but still. Had I waited 15 minutes to go I would've missed out on that amazing pita! I can only imagine the people drinking in SB wishing for a Pete & Paul's pocket at night. read more

This is a great lunch spot. Clean, friendly service. Unique take on pitas/sandwiches. If you're looking for an easy, satisfying lunch come here! Great curly fries :) read more

The food is always amazing, everytime I'm in south Buffalo this is always my favorite stop. The person behind the register today was also so absolutely sweet and friendly and I just wanted to make sure it was know, along with my food being absolutely fantastic! read more

Absolutely a necessary stop any time I am in the area. Pete n Paul's has something for everyone, but I strongly recommend their pita pockets. My personal favorites are the taco Paco, chicken souvlaki & chicken finger pockets. The service and preparation of the food is consistently good. Keep this place in mind to check out when you're in South Buffalo! read more

We stopped in here on a whim and were quite surprised! The restaurant itself isn't much to look at; it was probably built in the late 80s or early 90s, and nothing much has been changed since then, however looking past the lack of modern decor, the food is delicious and very affordable! There are plenty of pita pocket sandwiches, wraps, burgers, hot dogs, souvlaki, chicken fingers, desserts, kid-friendly meals and more! The menu is enormous. They also offer catering. We loved our pita pockets! They were stuffed full of meat, veggies, and cheese. The fries were delicious as well. I suggest the chicken finger pita- so good. If you don't mind driving into the city to check this place out, I highly recommend stopping in here for a bite. You won't regret it! read more

Simple comfort food done nicely, generous portions, nice people. The steak in the grass sandwich was overwhelmingly large and delicious. Easily large enough to share. read more

This place is what I expected/hoped for and more. Yes, it is a bit of a dive but the food is better than most places. My party had regular burgers and sirloin burgers which tasted very good. They have tons of options for the burger like lettuce, tomato, onion, fried onion, fried peppers, and 4 different cheeses. For sides we had the curly Qs, reg French fries, and onion rings. All of them were very good. I didn't care for the dessert which was fried dough with cinnamon sugar but that's just a taste thing. The staff was very nice and I will definitely go back soon. read more

Tried these guys for the first time since I left Buffalo 6 years ago. Glad to see this South Buffalo staple still going strong. Used to order from here for lunch when I worked close by and usually got the chicken finger pita, which is delicious. Just had a CF sub recently though so decided to explore the menu. Phoned in an order for their chicken quesadilla, chicken souvlaki, and a chiavetta's chicken wrap. Was told 20 minutes I arrived early and everything was ready. Cashed out went home to eat with family. The best of the 3 above was the quesadilla, it was huge and unexpectedly had carmlized onions and peppers which were great. Both the souvlaki and wrap were good but could use some better leafy greens in my opinion. Seemed more iceburg style than say romaine or field greens. Either way well worth the price for everything. read more

Ef yes. This place rocks. It's not easy on the eyes and doesn't offer much, well anything, in terms of commodities but it is good. Burgers, wraps, fries, shakes to stay or go. Well priced, simple & kind service. Right on. Oh and the "fritters!" You'll want to go ahead and get those. read more

Heard good things about this place. Sorry that it didn't meet expectation. Food was not that good, it's edible be lacks taste. Probably won't visit again read more

Burgers! I had an opportunity to stop back at this South Buffalo staple and was not disappointed. This time I chose to have the bacon cheese burger and fries. The food was good and, of course, I enjoyed some raw carrots as I waited for my order. The restaurant was clean and the service friendly, thanks again Gary! read more

I usually stop in here on my lunch break. I've only gotten the chicken salad pita but i love it so much i get it every time. Portions are a good bang for your buck. Great place to stop for lunch, for a quick but tasteful bite. read more

The food is made poorly. I felt it was a waste of money. I ordered a chicken finger pita and fries. Which I took three bites of and threw away. The chicken fingers were plain horrible, very fatty low quality chicken. This ruined the pita because I get grossed out by fat in meat, in excess. The order of fries, which was a large was small, very small, this would be a small at most places. They don't have ketchup at the "seat yourself tables", so I had to ask another table if I could use the one they had on their table. They put like 3 bottles of ketchup out at the self service part and everyone takes them to the table so you'll have to search for ketchup. Wouldn't go back. read more

My family got 2 chicken soulvakis and 1 beef. Everything was great including the service. my only issue is you have to order dill sauce on the side. Small price to pay for a good soulvaki. read more

Food is very good. Not overpriced, but not $3 pitas like I read in another review. Maybe they were on sale that day. For 2 pitas, fries, onion rings and 2 drinks it was almost $30. I'm not saying that's a lot, I'm just saying it's not THAT cheap either. I got the Greek pita, but I'm wondering if I should have got the chicken finger pita that I'm reading about it in all of the reviews. My pita was very good. I ordered a large fries and I was surprised how small it was . I got a side of cheese for dipping that was HUGE! The ratio of cheese to fries didn't make sense, but I am not complaining. I love cheese. My friend got a fried bologna and onions pita.... it was half empty. See pics.... The lady behind the counter was a little rough, she acted like we should know the menu, but it was our 1st time and she really wasn't too pleasant. Overall, it was pretty good. If your in the area it's worth trying . Next time I want to try the giant baked potatoes. They have a bunch of different kinds that sounded good. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. This is one of South Buffalo's hidden gems. Paul burger, pizza pocket, and chicken souvlaki are some of my favorites here. If in the south Buffalo must check out. read more

Anything in a pita! The chicken finger sub (chicken tenders w/ buffalo sauce) and chicken parm are awesome. Pizza pocket is also great. Be warned, lots of melted cheese, a small and some fries will be enough for most. Takes cards, which is rare for older places like this in Buffalo. Very casual (blue collar lunch crowd and kids after school), counter service with some seating inside and out. Pretty much anyone can find something here. Menu has some standard counter fare; hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and salads. Some dessert options also, but I haven't sampled. Tough to go wrong with an ice cream cone though. Two small pitas (meatball & pizza) with a huge coke came to $7.31... read more

Very good for a quick and simple meal. Had a wide variety of food too! The steak hoagie and roasted red pepper chicken sandwich certainly exceeded expectations! Staff was friendly and pleasant. read more

Great food and Super Friendly service! We went in at about 7:20 and didn't know that they were closing at 7:30. They invited us to stay and eat in the dining room and encouraged us to sample the critters, which were delicious. The girl who waited on us asked that we tell our friends if we liked it. We definitely liked it and will be back. read more
