We were looking for a healthy lunch option downtown and saw this Greek and Lebanese fast food place. The owner/manager (?} was friendly and greeted so many of the locals by name as they came in for lunch. You order from a board over the counter. We ordered a #8 and #12 a lite chicken shawarma plate and a lite gyro lamb and beef plate. We also ordered 2 falafel. The highlights of our meals were the hummus and the salad. The chicken and gyro meat were tasty but dry. Also, the falafels were really dry but if you dipped them in the sauce they were ok. I'm sure if you had the meat freshly sliced it would have been better than the meat sitting in the warming pan. I would try it again and would definitely go back for the hummus and salad. They were great! read more

Express indeed! This is quite possibly the most efficient to-go experience I have ever had. This tiny building packs a punch. The staff members are all friendly and helpful. They are so efficient with their work. I went in for a to go lunch and I couldn't decide what to get so I ordered a chicken box. It was super tasty and filling. The price was on point as well! Definitely a great place for a healthy and delicious lunch when you're on the go! read more

Serop's Express - Downtown - #13 Chicken Box - Greek Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

With limited options downtown, it's hard to find a lunch spot that is 1) healthy , 2) convenient, and 3) won't break the bank. It's why I usually bring lunch from home. Thankfully, Serop's not only meets that criteria-- it exceeds all expectations. Whether you're a regular or new on the block, they greet everyone with a smile as if they're happy to have your business (which is rare these days). The service is friendly and quick, and the food has always been consistently good. I hope they're here for the long run! read more

Serop's Express - Downtown - #3 Combo Meal- delish!!! - Greek Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Serop's Express is a staple of the Downtown lunchtime crowd. In addition to the typical gyro and chicken shawarma dishes and wraps that you would expect from any self-respecting Greek and Lebanese restaurant, you have the magnificent sides. These are really the stars at Serop's Express! You can combine several to make a plate, or have one or two with your classic entree. They include everything from salads, soups, to stuffed vegetables. The vegetables themselves are surprisingly tender-crisp. Especially things like steamed broccoli and cabbage which are often over-cooked at other establishments. You can have a very healthy lunch by making good choices from their serving line. That's another reason Serop's Express is popular with the lunch crowd, the speed with which you can be served. Everything is ready and all you have to do is tell them what you would like. Go there often enough and the servers will begin greeting you by name. Get your meal to go, sit inside, or even outside if you can score a seat. If all the seats are full, you can carry your meal over to the seating area at the Main Street Market on the west side of the Galvez Garage. Remember that your drink options include the delicious and refreshing Lebanese Tea, which is my personal favorite. read more

The food is pretty good overall for a fast lunch. The problem is the workers. There is this one guy that is super nice and he knows everyone that walks through the door. But, he is really loud and can be obnoxious. But, I decided to eat inside at the place the other day and they were all trying to pull the hot bar and clean up. Music was playing in the place and all of a sudden, it switches to rap music. The rap music is not edited at all and is dropping F bombs and other profanity. To top it off, one of the workers starts singing along with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg and dropping the F bombs to the song as well. I was just stunned that a business of any sort would be blasting unedited rap music and the workers would sing along to it. For this very reason, I cannot recommend this place at all. This was terribly unprofessional with actual customers sitting inside eating. read more

3 sides please. Gyro meat. Gyro meat. Salad. That's how you work it. They have plates that are all put together for you but just order sides and get the combo you want. Plus it's (a little) cheaper. Everyone is friendly and you can eat in or take out. read more

3.5 stars This is a staple lunch haunt for me. I usually get the chick gyro salad. While the chicken is flavorful, and all the other toppings are yummy too, I dislike the fact that they mix their lettuce with the dressing and keep it ready to go, which means the greens are all soggy and messy even before they make their way to my desk :( The Tzatiki is just delish, and the spinach pie is super yum too (usually that is, it sometimes tends to be too carboard-y, when it has been sitting out for too long). The pita bread comes complimentary with a little tub of tzatziki The lady who mans the cash counter is usually sullen and get-on-with-you kinds, which I just mostly ignore. Oooh and i love the lebanese tea, mixed with diet coke and a slice of lemon.. lol! read more

This is a pretty good spot for a quick lunch downtown. It is not the best Greek and Lebanese food I've ever eaten. The salad, for example, is pretty paltry and wilted usually with just iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. The chicken shawarma could use a little more blackening. But the hummus is quite good and I liked the falafel and lebanese iced tea too. I would go back if I were in the area and needed a quick meal. read more

Actually wanted to go to the Jambalaya Shoppe, but ended up here instead. This place was really busy but the line moved quickly. I ordered the Gyro and chicken combo plate. The gyro and chicken were flavorful and tender.I really liked the salad, the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. The price wasn't bad and I had enough leftovers to eat for supper. Without a doubt I will be back. read more

Yum! I come here for lunch quite a bit and it's super good. The service is excellent and extremely fast and the workers are always very friendly and nice. I've never waited more than about 1 minute for my food so it's perfect for those who don't want a long lunch. They also validate parking, so hard to beat it! I give 4 stars because the chicken isn't my favorite ever, it's usually a bit dry. Still, I will return! read more

Serop's is great for a fast lunch. The staff are all friendly and fun. I always get the Chicken plate, which is chicken shawarma, rice, hummus and feta salad. The salad was fresh, humus had a good garlic flavor, and the chicken was seasoned lighter than I personally prefer. I wish there was more room for them to put more tables out in the sidewalk. read more

First visit to the area. Serop's was recommended by some locals. We enjoyed great food and generous portion size. The workers were very friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs. Recommended! read more

The last time I remember eating less than half the food on my plate, being hungry yet unable to swallow another bite was at my college cafeteria. That's how I felt. I had the lamb gyro with sides of moussaka and potatoes. The potatoes were edible, but dry. The lamb gyro had obviously been sitting in the hot line tray and was very dry and much too salty. The moussaka made me just want to cry -- in a bad way, what a horrible botch job of a Greek dish. The eggplant was terribly bitter (obviously never salted) and mushy. There was no meat or béchamel sauce I could see in the dish, which is key for moussaka. I would never recommend this place. read more

I go there all of the time for lunch. The prices are really good, and the food is delicious. I would say it is likely one of the best places for lunch downtown. While the food is delightful, the greatest thing about Serops Express is the fact that their name is completely apt. I have left my office a little further down Main, driven to Serops, ordered my food, paid, and then returned to the office in just 15 minutes. I typically get the Combination Shwarma Bowl. It has rice pilaf, lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, chicken shwarma and gyro. It is wonderful, and most of the time I can't finish it in one meal. Serops Express can always be counted on for a delicious lunch for less than $10. Overall, do yourself a favor when you are downtown for lunch and go eat something delicious at Serops Express. read more

This is my favorite place to eat downtown. The food is incredible and portions are generous. Luis and his staff are the best!

The food is always great! And customer service there is wonderful. Its located right by my work, so its very convenient. Everything we order is so flavorful. And the hummus is amazing. My favorite is the salad with chicken. My coworkers loves the wraps. read more

I will never return to this place. The guy managing the food line was excessively rude to me and to the young man standing/working next to him. The food was the average, at best, and the customer service was so poor that I would have told him to keep his food if I had not been with my co-workers, who were waiting on me. Horrible! Save your money and your appetite for a place that deserves & Appreciates your business. read more

Vegetarian that thrives on Serops 5 side meal! I love Serops and visit all express locations through out Baton Rouge frequently

I hit this place at least once a week for lunch, maybe more. Why?? Well, the food is good, and with 3 sides and a drink for under 10 bucks, it is a great lunch deal. It is also a quick in and out, no matter how long the line is. I also like the fact that the employees don't change - it is always the same friendly faces behind the counter. Consistent, fast, fresh, and comfortable. That's why I go for my weekly fix. read more

Just...yes. My partner and I were down there for a test getting ready to move to New Orleans from Michigan and I am currently back in Michigan and miss this place. I have been saying daily how much I miss that place. I hope they end up in New Orleans. Until then, I can't wait to hopefully visit again. We walked in and the options at the bar are overwhelming, even as a vegetarian, as it all looks delicious. It was so hard to pick, in fact, that I had them make up a plate for me without picking myself. The guy who was working was fantastic...he was so bright and welcoming to every single person that walked in. My turn came and he looked at me, thinking I may know what I want. I told him I'm browsing the vegetarian options. Without further questions, he pointed out and told me everything I would need to know. I said, "I'm not picky as long as there is no meat...do you think you could just throw together a vegetarian plate of your favorites?" He happily said, "Absolutely." Getting right to it, he asked why I had never been there. Clearly he knows well who had been there and who had not, which I'll get to in a bit. He grabbed a cup and filled it with lentil soup. I asked if it was made from stock. He, despite the fact I later found there was a sign making this clear, kindly explained that all stock and animal fats are replaced with water. This is such an awesome find for vegetarians for those reasons - sometimes that is hard to find. Beyond that, it was absolutely delicious. Very flavorful...and healthy to boot. I was happy to find my partner chose to go without meat. We sat there near the window sampling off each other's plates and raving about how good everything was. And the same guy didn't break the flow of the line or his concentration on anything he was doing or who he was serving, all the while greeting everyone who walked in, often by name. His service was super impressive; the degree of what he puts into is also, I feel, often hard to find. I was bummed to have accidentally forgotten the leftovers in the hotel before we left. I don't usually get bummed about forgetting leftovers. But I definitely hope I can get back there. Highly recommended. read more

Really good place to eat downtown. I got the chicken schawarma salad. The small was plenty of food. The prices are reasonable.

The food is usually passable, but there is no quality control on the items that require more than minimal preparation. The last time I got lentil soup it was spiced chicken broth with onions and maybe 10 lentils, like they had run out of soup and decided to add more broth instead of taking it off the menu for the day. The hummus is good. It's nice to have a steamed broccoli option. Don't bother with the falafels, they're dry. The moussaka and mujadara are usually good, but the quality and flavor vary widely. The chicken and gyro are probably from the same supplier used by all the other places in town, but I like Sadaf's chicken preparation better. read more
