Frommer's Review

Look fast to find the tiny, popular Pita House--its unassuming facade recedes slightly from a generic stretch of local highway dominated by strip malls and super-size gas stations--but it's well worth the search. A gregarious family runs this simple diner (a few yellowed posters of the Holy Land and piped-in Arabic pop qualify as the only atmosphere). They serve a full range of pan-Mediterranean dishes--falafel, gyro, souvlaki, lamb kebabs, stuffed grape leaves, beef and chicken schwarma (sort of a less-spicy souvlaki) and more. Save room for a wedge of dainty, flaky-sweet pastry (the baklava with pistachios is a favorite). The dozen or so tables spill over into a corner of the restaurant that doubles as a grocery store. You wouldn't think to come across exotic Medjool dates, at least five kinds of olives, and fresh spices galore in this buckle of the Bible Belt.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
