Serop’s Cafe

I hit this place at least once a week for lunch, maybe more. Why? Well, the food is good, and with 3 sides and a drink for under 10 bucks, it is a great lunch deal. It is also a quick in and out, no matter how long the line is. I also like the fact that the employees don’t change — it is always the same friendly faces behind the counter. Consistent, fast, fresh, and comfortable. That’s why I go for my weekly fix.

I will never return to this place. The guy managing the food line was excessively rude to me and to the young man standing/​working next to him. The food was the average, at best, and the customer service was so poor that I would have told him to keep his food if I had not been with my co-​workers, who were waiting on me. Horrible! Save your money and your appetite for a place that deserves & Appreciates your business.

Actually wanted to go to the Jambalaya Shoppe, but ended up here instead. This place was really busy but the line moved quickly. I ordered the Gyro and chicken combo plate. The gyro and chicken were flavorful and tender. I really liked the salad, the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. The price wasn’t bad and I had enough leftovers to eat for supper. Without a doubt I will be back.

I go there all of the time for lunch. The prices are really good, and the food is delicious. I would say it is likely one of the best places for lunch downtown.
While the food is delightful, the greatest thing about Serops Express is the fact that their name is completely apt. I have left my office a little further down Main, driven to Serops, ordered my food, paid, and then returned to the office in just 15 minutes.
I typically get the Combination Shwarma Bowl. It has rice pilaf, lettuce, tomato, feta cheese, chicken shwarma and gyro. It is wonderful, and most of the time I can’t finish it in one meal. Serops Express can always be counted on for a delicious lunch for less than $ 10.
Overall, do yourself a favor when you are downtown for lunch and go eat something delicious at Serops Express.

3.5 stars
This is a staple lunch haunt for me. I usually get the chick gyro salad. While the chicken is flavorful, and all the other toppings are yummy too, I dislike the fact that they mix their lettuce with the dressing and keep it ready to go, which means the greens are all soggy and messy even before they make their way to my desk :(
The Tzatiki is just delish, and the spinach pie is super yum too (usually that is, it sometimes tends to be too carboard-​y, when it has been sitting out for too long). The pita bread comes complimentary with a little tub of tzatziki
The lady who mans the cash counter is usually sullen and get-​on-​with-​you kinds, which I just mostly ignore.
Oooh and i love the lebanese tea, mixed with diet coke and a slice of lemon. lol!

The last time I remember eating less than half the food on my plate, being hungry yet unable to swallow another bite was at my college cafeteria. That’s how I felt.
I had the lamb gyro with sides of moussaka and potatoes. The potatoes were edible, but dry. The lamb gyro had obviously been sitting in the hot line tray and was very dry and much too salty. The moussaka made me just want to cry — in a bad way, what a horrible botch job of a Greek dish. The eggplant was terribly bitter (obviously never salted) and mushy. There was no meat or béchamel sauce I could see in the dish, which is key for moussaka.
I would never recommend this place.

Best Gyros in Louisiana. The end.
