Louis Pappas represents the culmination of more than 80 years of family experience in the restaurant business. The current Louis incarnation of the Pappas family uses his rich family heritage to concoct dishes made swiftly but never hastily. Each is created with a gentlemanly nod to tradition by borrowing from century-old recipes, hand-approved by Hermes, or at least a guy wearing a helmet. Dishes are all made from scratch using only the freshest ingredients, but the quick turnaround on orders appeases even short attention spans acquired from viral YouTube diseases.

Start with one of Louis Pappas’s famous Greek salads, which top a base of potato salad with shredded lettuce and all the mix-ins ($8.49). Equip your longing hands with signature sandwiches such as the gyro ($7.29) or chicken souvlaki ($7.29). The menu also offer flaky flatbread pizzas such as the Olympian, topped with gyro meat, portabellas, onions, peppers, and cheese ($7.99). Order up a larger entree to fill Herculean bellies. The tasty pita platter comes with your choice of meat with a pita and all the fixings ($8.59). Or grab the tasty mousaka (roasted eggplant with ground beef, topped with yogurt béchamel and marinara, $8.79).
