Dining in was excellent!! But ordered 2 gyros to go and they forgot the taziki sauce and toppings. I was just meat and bread.

The food was meeegh for a Greek eatery. I felt the gyro meat was a little over cooked and the rice was mushy.

Halibut was overcooked. Calamari steak was very good. Pita bread is served first with nothing to go with it - the hummus is extra. Also, if you split a meal it's an added cost.

Very expensive. Not honest. They said that if you paid with a credit card, you'd be charged an extra $20. Also, written on the menu, it stated that if paying in cash, there would be a discount. We paid our nearly $600 bill in cash but received no discount and were actually charged an automatic 21% tip on the total bill, including tax, for less than good service. We won't be going back.

Ok, tonight was delicious! We had the Mahi Salad and the Chicken Chopped Salad. Both were excellent. Service was perfect. The atmosphere was comfortable and light. Highly recommend this established Mediterranean restaurant.

Food was absolutely phenomenal. Not one single complaint. Every appetizer, plate, drink was 10/10. However, the staff could use some help, maybe more staff for bigger tables/parties. Ours got flustered, mixed up plates, got orders/sides/and cooking preferences wrong (rare,medium rare, well done), took plates from people at our table after biting it/eating it and switching plates no warning, not to mention, we asked for a a few high chairs when we first showed up, and I had repeatedly asked for them for over 25 minutes until I finally got a bit snappy and asked what was going on and where our chairs were, THEN the hostess did something.

Papapavlo's was recommended while we were on an overnight in Stockton. Busy place for dinner and we sat outside in the old CV19 tent.There were seven of us and five different dinner entrees were ordered. The chicken Marsala was good but made only with button mushrooms. At $30.00 a disappointment. None the less, overall we enjoyed this restaurant.

I just went last Friday, March 8 for my anniversary. My salad was soggy. I got my appetizers when I got my salad. I felt like the rice wasn’t even cooked. Very disappointed. I’ve gone in years past and it was excellent.

Happy about everything besides the fact I paid $4 for 2 ounces of remillard sauce. My take out bill came to $50+ for LUNCH and the sauce was way too expensive.

Myself, friends and family have been dinning at Papapavlo's for over 20 years. Last night's experience was appalling. Being Ignored is putting it mildly. We had to ask for water, drinks and a menu. Each time having to catch the bartenders attention as they talk to each other or they simply ignored us. After requesting the bill our payment was placed in the bill try and sat thier in front of us for another 15 minutes. Again being Ignored.The disrespectfulconfrontation by the bar staff that followed was ridiculous and insulting. It got no better after speaking to the "manager".Our Meals and drinks were great as usual. However I will never recommend this restaurant again. After reading other very similar reviews, I can only trust that this fine family owned ownership will address this ongoing issue with poor unprofessional service. I welcome the opportunity to provide more details to ownership, of which they should want to hear.Kid-friendliness: Not good.
