Wow! California transplant here... Holy moly this place is delicious! Took my grandma to a Doctor appointment near by, decided on this place for lunch, and it was the best decision. The food delicious and fresh, service was prompted and employees polite. Definitely going to eat in next time, I want to try some of those fabulous desserts they offer! Keep up the delicious work guys!

First off this was very convenient, basically right off the highway. The inside of the restaurant was absolutely spotless, which I personally prefer ;) the food was great. I got the Greek bowl (rice, tomato, cucumbers, lamb, etc) and I really liked it! It was good food fast. The service was...hilarious the woman was so nervous about everything. Extra tzatziki took quite some time (and asking many other employees) but we got it figured out.

Very solid place to eat. Not gonna completely blow you away with the Greek food but overall it was enjoyable flavorful and a nice place to eat. Didn't have to wait long and the staff was friendly.

I went in to get a gift card, but I also placed a carry out order. The service was a LITTLE slow and my son was getting antsy, but this place gets five stars because the staff was so kind to him! They gave him a menu to color and were speaking gently to him as we waited. I appreciated that. Not only THAT, but when I got home and opened my bag, I found a little something extra (in New Orleans, they call that a lagniappe). A nice slice of baklava and that other biscuit-type dessert. How sweet of them! This alone will make me come back again.

I would normally always give this place 5 stars, the food definitely is consistently delicious. That being said, I have to subtract a star due to the service the last couple of times I've been here. No silverware on the table, no water served until I got up and asked for it at the front counter. Our waitress was nice but she was obviously overwhelmed with having to go back and forth between two seating areas and we sat for long periods of time waiting for food, drinks, check etc. Also, had an employee on break sleeping at the booth behind ours! Again, I love this place and would always recommend it based on the food, but they definitely need to tighten up service wise!

I didn't know what and where I'd be eating alongside I-77, but saw that this is what is possibly the area's biggest mall - Belden Village Mall - augmented by outboard retail pads and various strip malls. In getting gas, I spotted this place - Papa Gyros. I didn't know they had multiple locations until having to put this review in its proper place. Papa Gyros may sound like a gyro joint but, upon seeing a standard sized restaurant, it appeared to be just that - a Greek restaurant. I parked the car and went in. You know how you can tell how something will go? That's what happened here. (Because you are prognosticating, would that be stereotyping or profiling, and thus politically incorrect?) At any rate, what I mean is that all the vibes were good: I was greeted in a welcoming manner, the interior is clean, inviting, and airy, and the menu is vast. I even saw the servers bring some saganaki cheese to a nearby table with all the requisite fanfare that goes with that. I had a platter with two chicken souvlaki skewers. On the platter, there were also dolmathes, spanakopita (or tiropita), pita wedges, and tzatziki sauce. With it, I had a small Greek salad. In looking at its feta, tomato, onion, and olive content, it had all the things one would expect to see and enjoy in a Greek salad. The service at the table was equally as friendly as the service upon being welcomed and seated. The prices were appropriate for the food and the general context of the restaurant. The restaurant makes for a nice enough place to sit, eat, and relax. They even have a patio with outdoor seating, but the weather was a little off in these parts that day. In short, the experience was pleasant and, without having this planned, it turned out very well. Note that Papa Gyros is one exit north of the famed Football Hall of Fame closer to the center of Canton. Football and Ohio ... wow. These are two things that are simpatico. In addition to that, I tend to think of those blue haired football grannies in windbreakers sitting at local high school football games on crisp autumn evenings and yelling out instructions from the sides of their mouths, much as if they had gone to Marge Schott Charm School, or guffawing if disappointed. (Surprisingly, you can see for yourself that the young Marge Schott looked like she may in fact have gone to charm school.) This typology I refer to does exist in the Buckeye State, and also in the Keystone State and in West Virginia. Going west, in the Hoosier State, frenzied fandom by locals switches over to basketball. So, combine visiting the Football Hall of Fame and having a pleasant meal at Papa Gyros. I doubt that the football grannies will be here because the food won't be 'Merican enough for them and their tribe, but that's a good thing because the atmosphere will be more placid. I think this Papa Gyros has all the ingredients to make it a 5 star casual Greek restaurant.
