    I'm on a quest to try every Mediterranean restaurant in the city and order the same dish. Today's visit was to The Pita Stop on Southside. Upon arrival, the worker showed me to my table. I had the place to my self on this day. My order was taken promptly after arriving. I ordered the Chicken Kebob plate. For $18.95, I was pleasantly shocked at the amount of food that the order came with. It came with a well seasoned chicken Kebob (an actual Kebob on a skewer with veggies), Greek salad (house salad on the menu), wild rice, pita bread, hummus and fresh fruit. Everything was delicious and I had enough to take home for another meal.. A couple of things to note: The worker mopped the floor as I ate my food. I'm sensitive to certain smells so this was kinda a no-no for me. Also expect to wait for your food as they cook it fresh and made to order. If you're in a hurry, call your order in. Neither of these things are deal breakers and I will definitely return.

    Yelp led me here and I was not disappointed. I went with the Lamb burger and it was absolutely as delicious as everyone says it is. The portions are generous, and the price is right! I was greeted with the best customer service and seated right away on this relaxing Sunday afternoon. I don't believe I waited more than 10 minutes for my food to come out and it was worth the wait. The fries were crispy and seasoned to perfection. The burger patty was seasoned well also. It was perfectly paired with the feta cheese. There were even a few slices of fruit on my plate if I wanted a healthy dessert. All in all I would definitely recommend and definitely be returning again when in the Birmingham area.

    I stopped here to get some dinner, after visiting a patient at UAB Highlands. It has been a while since I have visited, but I can always depend on this place to have great service. I placed a to go order and there were a few people waiting and also a few dining in. However, the line moved pretty quick and I waited no longer than 15 minutes for my order. I went with the beef kabob entree as I was hungry and I knew that it came with a good amount of food. The beef kabob entree is one of my favorites. It came with fruit, a house salad, wild rice, pita bread and hummus dip. The beef on the kabobs was tender and the kabobs were seasoned really well. The rice was also very good and they gave you a generous amount. You do not have to worry about getting full, because they make sure to give you enough food. I lucked up and got a parking space out front. However, their parking is limited out front. good,I enjoyed this place and will be sure to visit again.

    We came in for dinner Tuesday night before an event and thought we could get a good meal and good service. I understand it was Valentine's Day but this place wasn't even packed. We walked in at 6:05pm and ordered right then because we knew what we wanted. We received water and tea and didn't see anyone else until we asked about our food at 6:35pm. I was told it would be coming right up and we still didn't get it until 10 minutes later. We had to rush and eat but we saw people that ordered the same thing seated after us eat before us! The food was good but the service brought experience way down.

    Located across from UAB Highland's campus. The Pita Stop was recommended to me by a work friend. Men's restroom was clean. My order was taken promptly by my waiter. The Seafood Platter was fresh and delicious. A unique restaurant worth trying!

    The Pita Stop has been one of our favorites for over 20 years. Matt, Mo and the staff always serve delicious, high quality food. Service is personal and efficient. Our "go to" meals are the Seafood Kabob and the Seafood Omelette.

    We had the chicken and beef kabobs. My dad ordered the grouper meal. The service was awesome. They helped us select our menu items. The ambiance was calming and relaxing. Thank you so much for the awesome food.

    We were thrilled to stumble upon this place. The atmosphere is nice. Everyone is friendly, and the food is delicious. The servings are huge. I got the beef kebab which comes with a salad, rice, pitas hummus and fruit. My husband got the Meatball kebab. Both were delicious. I highly recommend this place.

    I heard about Pita Stop on Yelp and really was excited to check it out. We went for lunch and was immediately seated, so there was zero wait time! Always a PLUS when dining out for lunch during the work week. Prior to going to Pita Stop, I probably read most of the reviews just to get a pulse of what people were ordering . I found that people really loved the daily lunch specials . Specifically , the chicken meal and the grouper meal were the top choices amongst fellow yelpers! Ok, great. I knew what I was ordering. Before ordering I asked about what the fish special was just to make sure the menu hadn't changed or anything like that. Our server rattled off some fish options and when I heard "grouper", I told her that's what I wanted. Well., guess what? She later came back and said, they didn't have the grouper. So in lieu of , I ordered mahi mahi. Salmon , tilapia or tuna were some other options as well. It didn't take long for us to get our meals shortly after. The serving size for the lunch specials were really generous; I really loved the wild rice, hummus and pita bread! What a treat to my tastebuds! The fish was seasoned nicely but slightly "fishy." Overall this was a really filling meal and I plan to revisit but next time I will be ordering the Chicken Kabobs......I was told those were delish! I'll update my review once I go back.

    This review is specifically for the catered/box lunches we recently enjoyed from Tasty Town…read more Each lunch was boxed separately and included the silverware packet. That's a huge plus; the number of times I've seen referees having to pass on the side because they didn't have utensils! The entree was a chicken pita. It did have a few fresh onions, but I enjoyed them since I didn't have to be the one dragon breathing around the field all day. We did have a choice of roasted potatoes or basmati rice. The potatoes went much quicker than the rice; I had the potatoes and they were fantastic. There was also a tray of chocolate chip cookies provided. I don't think they were frash made; they looked similar to other restaurants generic chocolate chip cookies. They were a nice addition to the lunch, though. They also provided sweet and unsweet tea in gallon jugs.

    Recently had Tasty Town as a catered lunch for a sporting event…read more Our lunch was a chicken pita (wrapped like taco of sorts) and I got roasted potatoes as my side. They also brought a large side box of chocolate chip cookies that were individually wrapped. Everyone loved the wraps, though the fresh onions were a little rough on some of us. Others took heed and removed a couple so their afternoon running up and down the field wasn't filled with regret. The potatoes were a hit; wish I could get them again.

    I was craving cheesecake. I never crave cheesecake. I browsed yelp for some recommendations but…read morenothing blew my mind. I ended up coming to Costas since it's really a staple in my area. I wanted cherry cheesecake ( I looooove cherries) but they were out of cherries, so I ended up with strawberry instead. The slice size was adequate and tasty. Price point @ $7 a slice was reasonable. The to go service was pretty fast & friendly.

    I've eaten here on several occasions but never left a review until now. Shameful. I visited here…read morebecause I wanted to try their pastichio, only to discover it's no longer on the menu. My server, who was super friendly and helpful, stated that the Hoover location still serves it but due to the lengthy process it takes to make it, this location does not offer it anymore. While I was disappointed to find this out, my food made up for it. At my server's suggestion, I ordered the baked ziti lunch special for $10.95. The special came with salad and a breadstick and a healthy serving of baked ziti. I wanted Greek dressing with my salad, but quickly realized that that was not the right choice. It looked more like balsamic vinaigrette and was very tart. I usually eat Greek dressing when dining out but maybe theirs is.....very unique. Maybe I received the wrong dressing. All I know is I couldn't finish my salad because of it. The breadstick was warm and comforting and the baked ziti was very rich and cheesy. It was a delicious and robust choice that didn't break the bank and helped to ease my disappointment on missing out on the pastichio. The server (who kept saying she had been there for 18 years) was excellent albeit really talkative. Not necessarily a bad thing so don't think that it is. There's something nostalgic about this restaurant. It's older but it's still in good shape. It's a huge place with plenty of seating as the place is never crowded the times I've been on the weekend. As an introvert, I actually appreciate that fact. I'll definitely return as I always do when I'm in the mood for rich Italian cuisine.
