I have been to many countries and eaten in many restaurants, but the Pita Stop in Birmingham, Alabama, is my all-time favorite place to eat on Planet Earth. Awesome food. Wonderful staff. Great prices.
Food was excellent.....the waiter was absolutely awful. He was not American descent and don't know his name because he didn't bother to tell us. We were brought to a table that was being cleaned and were left standing there till the table was cleaned. The waiter took our order and left, after a small wait our food arrived and we never had another word spoken to us by the waiter. There was however a table of 6 right next to us that he attended their every need, refilled coffee and water, whatever they needed, i was never asked if i wanted a refill on my coffee and we were never asked if our meals were ok. The absolute worst waiter i have ever encountered. It might have warrented if we had been rude or obnoxious, but we were not. We did not deserve the treatment we got from him. When we left and went to our cars, he came out apparently having just gotten off work and he glared at us as if we had done something awful to him. I didn't get it at all, or maybe it was because we were caucasian and he was not, the table he was giving such wonderful service to looked to be the same race he was. This is one restaurant i will never visit again.
Pita Stop is the BEST! Very consistent, fish specials are awesome - Monday is salmon day, others are mahi, grouper, tilapia. Ribeye sandwich to die for. Great for the health conscious
