Omgaaaaawd! I ordered the large Greek salad, it came with SO much stuff in it. Fresh, delicious produce! Real Kalamata olives, 3 inch spears of the sweetest tasting peeled cucumbers, tomato quarters, 2 slabs of feta, WHOLE green onion (how authentic!) Peperoncino, fresh iceberg lettuce and spinach and garnished with pickled beet and circles of bell pepper. The dressing AND the bread are clearly homemade. I haven’t been this impressed with an order of food in I don’t know how long! I also ordered Greek fries and a chicken souvlaki pita that I haven’t even opened this salad is so good! I’m ordering here every day. We are friends now Louis, don’t fight it. It’ll only make it weird.

My wife and I stopped by Louis Pappas Fresh Greek, at 1318 Towncenter Drive in Lakeside Village, Lakeland for dinner. We were there at about 6 p.m. on a Friday and the restaurant was not crowded. You order from the counter and the food is delivered to your table. The service was fast and friendly. I had the Classic Gyros served on a pita with a side of their Greek Chip-Style Fries. The gyros was delicious! The Greek Chip-Style Fries are their house made potato chips with tzatziki and crumbled feta cheese on top. Very tasty! My better half opted for the Traditional Mousaka with a side of broccoli. We also had Dolmades as an appetizer, but they were gone before I could get a photo. My wife says that they are fantastic. This is the only Greek restaurant that we’ve been able to find in the Lakeland area. The food is delicious, and we will definitely be back again.

Very good food. They give you a lot for the price but more importantly, the food is very fresh and authentic. I got their chicken lemon soup, really good. The Gyro was very fresh and the flavor was soot on. I will definitely be back when I go to Lakeland. I highly recommend this place if your looking for good Greek food...

Been here several times, but yesterday's order was the absolute best. The Gyro and Potato Salad was fresh, delicious. Just the right amount of Tzatziki Sauce. This Sauce was sooooo good, whoever is making the Sauce and Pot Salad, make sure to keep them. The best ever!!!!!

Great lunch spot. The pick 2 menu is a great deal with excellent variety. The lemon chicken and spanakopita are superb. The minestrone soup is hearty and filling as a meal itself. You can't go wrong here.

Great Greek food in Lakeland. I ordered lunch today with the help of Olivia. I ordered a gyro and Mediterranean Spread with dipping sauce. I was given an order number and my drink which was self serve. Shortly after sitting down Olivia brought me my meal. It was delicious. The decor in the establishment is Mediterranean with several pictures from the past. It was very clean inside. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for something different.
