239 Pembroke St E, Pembroke, ON K8A 3J9, Canada
Fresh and full of flavour! Greek-Canadian favourites. Locally owned and proud to be a member of the Ottawa Valley community.
I really used to like this place but recently the food has not been worth it, I've had a beef poutine here a few times in the last couple months and each time it's been disappointing, either the fries are hardly cooked or there's only 3-4 little slices of meat. Definitely not worth the 16 bucks or so for a small poutine.
Was in Pembroke for a hockey tourney. Never been to this place...BEST FLIPPIN FIRES WE HAVE EVER HAD!!!!! PERFECTION! The Pita/Gyro was amazing as well. We travel a lot for hockey, eat out a lot because of it...THE PITA SHACK was the best "new find" we've had in maybe forever! FANTASTIC!!!! Yes, BEST FRIES OF MY LIFE!!!
Absolutely THEE place To Go!!!! Super 70s/80s tunes all around. Roomy 4 seat tables. Almost every one takes out .. So table to you,., Shout out to owner/operator.... Thanks Sofia.. Amazing Lady!!?
One of my all time favorite restaurants. Friendly and accommodating staff serving amazing food!
Recently visited Pita Shack in Pembroke with my daughter, and it was fantastic! We were spoiled with cheese on our crispy fry poutine, and my chicken gyro had my mouth watering. We dined in and were treated so well—friendly staff, fun environment, clean booths, and it was busy! It's no surprise with the excellent customer service and amazing food. Highly recommend!
If I were granted a last meal---it would be the Pita Shacks' Shake salad with chicken!!! Absolutely divine! Paul, Sophie and their Team are the best! I have been going for almost 10 years and NEVER EVER tired of the amazing food
Driving through the area and stopped for some grub. The place was awesome. Great friendly service and really yummy out of the ordinary food. Loved the chicken. Had Gyros with fresh ingredients and a snack box. We went and ate it at Waterfront Park. An awesome combo and highly recommend both.
Outrageously delicious 10/10 food. The flavours are to die for. If you aren't sure what you want to order, they will take good care of you to make sure you like what you're tasting before you commit to buying the full thing. 10/10 friendly and helpful service. The pitas are so filling and very well priced. This is a must have when in Pembroke.
Great food, good portions and amazing staff!
Unbelievable portions and great prices !!! Food never disappoints & the staff is always so friendly !
The Pita Shack is the best place around!!!! Not sure why the negative reviews but the portions are huge and the price is pre covid!!! Eat at the Pita Shack for sure!
Amazing chicken gyro
Food was editable had a gyp and a gyro in a bowl service was not very friendly and one of the dirtiest places I ve ever got food from
We stumbled upon Pita Shack, the highlight of our work trip in Pembroke! This cozy, family-owned gem has been serving incredible food for over 30 years, and you can feel the love and care from the moment you walk in -- they were about to close, and my prego wife and I were welcomed with warm smiles that you instantly feel like family. Our order of the Gyro and Chicken wraps was a revelation. The meat, juicy and perfectly seasoned, was a testament to the freshness and quality of the ingredients. But the real star? The tzatziki! Creamy, flavourful, and undoubtedly one of the best Ive tasted - and Im admittedly a food snob... In a world where exceptional food and welcoming service are often mutually exclusive, Pita Shack is a rare gem that excels on both fronts. If youre driving through or live in Pembroke, this place is an ABSOLUTE must-visit. Efharistó!
Very good gyro. Tasty and hot
If you haven t been here, you need to go! The food is amazing and the service is excellent!
Gyro on pita chicken was amazing !
Great Gyros and great people, the food is healthy and filling! The service is great and everyone is nice, theyre timely and accommodating with each order. Love their juicy marinated chicken
Basic nothing special. 3/10
Best gyro Ive ever had!
Very good big plate
This place is an absolute gem. The staff is all incredible, the food is phenomenal and its a super cute location! One of our favorite spots!
Yummy
Vegetarian options: Falafel pita is excellent, very big portion Food
I ordered a beef Gyro, a 1/4Ib burger with cheese and bacon and a poutine last night. Picked it up right before they were closing. Got home and realized there was no Gyro with the order, but the rest of the food was fantastic! I went back the next day to see about getting a refund for the Gyro and they were super understanding and helpful. Offered to make me a Gyro right then, or pay me back a full refund. Costumer service was amazing, we will absolutely be going back!
Love the wraps. Big portions and always fresh. The service is great they always go above and beyond. We will travel the hour to Pembroke for a wrap its so worth it. Food is fresh and homemade. Definately recommend!!
The service was fantastic, and the food was even better. Couldn t have had a better experience and makes for a great date idea!
Very nice greek food! Large portions for decent prices
Excellent customer service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food tasted amazing. Just as good as it was 10 years ago. They had plenty of menu options to choose from. The restaurant was cozy and it was decorated very nicely. I will definitely be eating here again.
This is one of the best places in Pembroke to get food, not only is the vibe and service here amazing so is all the food you can get here, out of all the times Ive eaten here I have never once been left with a bad experience or an empty stomach!
Best place in the valley, hands down! Love the staff/ owners always friendly... amazing food. If you have not been, I highly suggest it
Absolutely delightful will be back
The staff is super friendly, the service is quick and the portions are big and yummy! Much better than plain old fast food.
Alwaya will be and always was the best in town
The staff are awesome and the food is excellent. I live an hour away in the bush and dont go to pembroke much. When I do I always get some take out. Everything is amazing. Best Greek salad ever. The main guy there is amazing, and the staff....beautiful people! Excellent food. Go there, eat some great food and write a good review like me. Theyre amazing, and deserve the review. Excellent people and excellent food.

Absolutely delicious gyro. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. And I did not pass out.....just left me wanting more
Dont be fooled with the good reviews like i did , 30$ for a platter with 90% veggie 10% burnt last weeks meat, tasteless , also lady doesnt wear gloves when prepping!
Cute shop, great food, fresh toppings and friendly staff!
Great place for authentic Shawarma. Staff is personable and make you feel at home. Food was incredible. Their homemade sauces and quality foods make me come back again and again. Thank you
Poutine was 10/10. Pita shack was exactly how I remembered it. Friendly and efficient service. Definitely a good bang for your buck
Driving through from Nova Scotia and by God s grace we found the best Greek food that we have had in a very long time. The servings were huge, delivery guy super nice and was here in no time. Thanks Pita Shack!
NEVER disappointed. Always over the top on food, service, staff & prices! Kudos... Food
The pride of Pembroke. If you need to visit one place while driving by here, its this place. The staff are incredibly nice and friendly, the food is amazing, the portions are huge, and if you come by often enough, they give you a nickname!
Description on website does not match food provided. Ignorant man screamed at me when I tried to make a complaint. Beware. Stay away from this place!!!!!
We ordered a gyro platter to share for lunch. It was more than enough for the two of us. Fresh vegetables, meat was flavorful and tender, tzatziki sauce completed the meal. We will stop by the next time were in Pembroke.
Good food, good lads. Fries in the pita just how I like it.
Love love love
Flavorful food with large portion sizes. Owner is kind and gave us some food to try. Only complaint would be the amount of oil on everything, even the rice.
Excellent flavour and service. Cheerful cashier, sunny and fantastic chicken gyros Atmosphere
Visited fairly late in the snow, was greeted with smiling faces and warm hospitality. Was the only customer and all the workers were very kind! Very warm and inviting. Upsold on the potatos and was very suprised! Massive pieces perfectly seasoned with large portions. They fall apart with only a plastic fork and have a amazing taste. The best youll find in the area. The sauce is also an amazing add on for all parts of the order. Also ordered a wrap which was devoured and called the best yet. Will be returning!
Must try - fresh and delicious.
Great stop on our road trip. Delicious food and generous portions. Greek potatoes were amazing
Always been a huge fan, and never disappointed. Thank you so much!
Very good food.. good service.. friendly service
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Loved chatting to the chef and perfect environment to eat! Highly recommend
If youre in the mood for some delicious Mediterranean food, then Pita Shack is the place to go! This family business offers amazing customer service and a friendly atmosphere. The food is freshly made daily and homemade from scratch, which is always a plus. The quantity of food is huge, and the falafel is out of this world! But the hummus and tzatziki...oh man, its off the charts! One of the best things about Pita Shack is that you dont have to pick from the menu - theyll make bowls and wraps to your liking. Sofie, is an absolute sweetheart who makes food with love. If youre a fan of long drives, then its worth making the trip to Pita Shack. Its a must-try spot if you love Mediterranean food. I highly recommend this place!
Big wraps. Good selection of canned pops. Good tzatziki sauce.
Tasty food & good size plates for all the family.
I havent been here in many years. My experience was an excellent one. The food was just as I remembered, good, filling, and flavor like no other. the owner is the same as years before as well. Funny and very attentive to what we liked.
Wicket taste of food right here at home!
Love this place, great food and service. Just wish they were open later
Awesome people, amazing food!
Holy Smokes !!! The Pita Shack puts 95% of all Shawarma joints in Bramptom to shame. Moreover most places only have one spit going, this place has three ! Its the best secret Pembroke has to offer. Next trip, I try the Souvlaki !!
Delicious food with awesome service as always
Best food in town!
Absolutely amazing. 11/10
This is the first 5 star rating I have given in a long time, and I think the first in Petawawa! The Pita Shack has been consistent again and again when I visit in person or order delivery. They have delivered quality food, on time, every time, and it has all the qualities of a restaurant youd want to be regulars at. I will say I have heard people say the location doesnt have much curb appeal but honestly, who cares.The Pita Shack rings reminiscent of a meal like grandma used to make. The servings are incredibly generous, the service is friendly, I have been offered taste tests of things I haven t had before when I was in the restaurant, and more importantly, every time I have ordered from them I felt like they viewed me as one of the regulars too. The feta fries are hands down the best fries I have ever had, and they are just as good and crispy (somehow?!) when ordered for delivery and the Shack Platter cant be beat. The Pita Shack values their customers and you won t regret being loyal customers here.
Every time we go visit my husbands family, we make a point to go here multiple times. The food is so good!
This place is great! Nice to have real food other than processed.
We came in from out of town as we are looking at homes up here and we stopped in for a quick bite. What can I say I had the best pita I ve ever had in my life. Honestly I love Mediterranean food and where I m from we have several options that are very good. The pita was so delicious and the tzatziki was incredible. A taste explosion for sure. My son had a burger and fries and he loved his burger and his fries were perfect. I can t wait to find a home and move up here so I can become a regular. Im dying for another pita already! Thank you guys! Don t stop being you.
Love the Pita Shack
The food was perfectly cooked
This is one of our favourite places to go! Food is always incredible and staff is always such a pleasure to chat with. Reasonably priced for such big portions and tasty food.
Love the gyros, great @ fast service as always.
My husband and I came in from out of town and decided to eat here, and I must say this was the best wraps we ve had in Canada and we re from Toronto. Staff was very friendly and helpful and we will 100% make the trip back.
Amazing food best place to eat
Great food! Had a lunchbox which was keto and gluten free. Big portions. Great value for money. Lots of gyros, burgers, fries and many other options to choose from.
Ive been to Pita Shack for years & its always delicious & fresh! Always full with their generous gyro sizes. Missed it so much when I was living in Ottawa.
Very nice nice staff!!
Really great food! They are super generous with their portions and it is truly delicious.
One of the best gyros Ive ever had. Very friendly and outspoken staff. Enjoyed our visit.
It s not fancy, it s just really good food! The fries are the best in the valley!
Outstanding! Meal 10/10 Would definitely recommend.
This place is excellent, its the only place Ill eat in Pembroke!!!!!
Great people working here and AMAZING food. Best Gyros Ive ever had. Drive up here from Hamilton almost every other weekend. !Definitely try the pickles!
Super accommodating and friendly staff serving some of the best pita wraps Ive had. A must stop regardless of if youre passing through or live in town
Best gyro on pita in the world
Drove from Montreal Otw to Deep River. Read how good the food and serve ice was so went out of our way to get there. Arrived 10 minutes before closing. Door locked. Looked in and they signalled, closed . Was starving. Just wanted two wraps to go. There were still old people sipping coffee in there. They totally could have served us before 8pm. Boooooo. If you say you close at 8pm. Close at 8pm.
Just picked up lunch. I knew we were in for a good meal as soon as we walked in. 3 friendly smiles and the place smelled divine. My bf got the 50/50 gyro and I got a shack special salad. Fantastic food. The chicken was so juicy and flavourful and the beef was shaved thin but not dry at all. First time coming here but I will be back. Thank you to the crew today. Excellent service.
Not much to see but man theres a ton of meat in these pitas! Best pita ever ordered! Highly recommended!
Best Greek food I ve ever had in my life, hands down. When I lived in pembroke I ate here all the time, especially when I was pregnant (biggest pregnancy craving was their pork souvlaki). The quality of Greek food has gone down substantially in the past few years here in Ottawa and multiple times I ve literally just driven all the way to pembroke just for their amazing and authentic food. Not to mention the staff are super friendly and the food quality and portion sizes are soooo worth every cent. (The drinks pictured were not from pita shack)
Delicious food and great service!
Im from out of town and stopped by to get a wrap for my drive home, ordered the club wrap and it was absolutely delicious. The lady who made it had a great energy and the sandwich must have weighed a good 3 pounds. Wish I was local to get it again
Staff and food are the absolute best in town!!! I d eat there every single day if I could
Delicious. Great service as well.
What a place. Owner was extremely nice. Food was fresh and tasted great and the portion for what I paid was incredibly huge. I never have a problem finishing my food but this time I couldnt finish. Was not expecting that much food. Will definitely return when Im back in the area.
Great food and most bang for your buck
Nothing better then their keto bowls. I eat once a wk. :-)
Excellent service and top-notch food is always.
Pita Shack has some of the best food in town - and their tzatziki is absolutely stellar. Great value for the size of their portions as well.
Hands Down The Best Tzatziki the world Best Fresh Home Cooked Quality Greek Food with an open kitchen and take-out/delivery service in Ontario! So you never have to worry that theyve been shut down Seriously any time I visited my family in Pembroke, Id bring Pita Shack back to Toronto! Now that Im living in Pembroke I get to eat the best cleanest Greek food all the time
Delicious! Food and service is always amazing!
Hands down best food in town, huge portions, friendly owners
Amazing food, incredible staff, always wonderful service. Their chicken caesar wraps are awesome! Thank you
Good food
Best place to stop for lunch and dinner. As someone for out town I just stop by with my fiance for dinner while we had a long road trip. The service was excellent, the food was tasty and well portioned. If we are ever travel through Pembroke again, we would definitely be stopping by here again!
Great donairs
Excellent food!!!!
Best gyro around. They nail it every time.
This is a must pit stop when traveling through Pembroke. Great food and friendly staff.
It has been 11 years since I lived in the valley. I used to see Paulie regularly for my ninja salad as he used to call it. Honestly it is the best place in Pembroke to get a bite. The servings are big, the meat tastes good and personable service. Its my wifes hometown, I was a transplant now living back in the GTA and I was asked where to eat there. This was the only positive place I could come up with from memory
One of the best places In town, hands down. An absolute must try
This place is amazing!: been coming here for over 15 years..never had a meal I didnt LOVE!...ultimate homemade taste , in a generous serving....I love the Lunch Box salad.
Its fine. I didnt find anything exceptional. Nothing blew me away, but nothing bad.
Exceptional people making exceptionally real food - minimum visits are weekly!! Must go place - always treat you right
Very delicious Greek food and shawarma. The owner of the place is so kind and friendly and generous. Highly recommended! Worth every penny spent there!
This place is always a win! Great staff awesome prices for serving sizes and the food is absolutely delicious!! Pita shack is by far THE BEST place in Pembroke for take out!!! Deliciousness! Ate here again tonight, this place never disappoints!! One of the best places in Pembroke to eat!
Truly delicious! Everything is good, fresh and generous.
Mind blowing delicious food! Amazing and incredible service and staff!!
Me and a group of my buddies came here for a quick bite to eat and we were pleasantly surprised by the food. Great service and the lady even gave us complementary fries. 10/10 would 100% eat here again.
Amazing service and even better food. Definitely recommend to anyone passing by. I m vegan and still got an amazing meal!
Excellent food and very generous employees!
Awesome food worth what you pay for.
Great place to get a pita, or my favourite order - the Lunchbox! So tasty, filling and healthy for lunch or supper. Staff are always pleasant even though they are always busy and delivery is usually pretty quick too. One of my favourite food places in town!
insanely good food run by a very friendly family. Ive never had a bad meal at the pita shack !
Always awesome.
Had their signature sub one is enough for two people was delicious was not cheap but you get what you pay for.
The beef with the tzazika sauce is awesome! Vegetarian options: They have a Greek salad Dietary restrictions: The stuff is healthy. Parking: Ok Parking Kid-friendliness: The people in there are super nice.
Hands down #1 place in town to eat! The pricing is fair for what you get and is so worth it! Always super friendly staff, the food is always super fresh, and honestly I can t say enough about this restaurant. I have now even got my parents addicted to this place and none of my family and friends have ever got sick from this place. Only thing we ever got from this place was a super full belly, garlic breath for a day which just made us want more, and a sense of complete satisfaction!
The last three times I ordered from here it has been a disaster .#1 .order was wrong ..#2 .couldn t eat gyro because it had so much oregano on it I couldn t eat it, went in garbage #3 which was last night July 29 .absolutely horrible ..I ordered two beef gyros with extra extra sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion and green peppers ..I GOT ..two gyros with hardly any meat ( the meat filled the container that the gravy came in) small side , lettuce on it .that was it ..I called pita pit back and was rudely asked what they should do about it ..this place has gone downhill, worst 40.00 I ever spent
I happened upon the Pita shack recently and was quite surprised at the overall experience. Most venues akin tend to express passion when it comes to the flavour and overall quality service, hospitality, cuisine. Thus, I digress I wont be specific however I will say this; the front of house seemed more affixed on the next one as opposed to the next order. The back of house was not available for an exeedingly lengthy amount of time. Overall. The food was good. But the aftertaste was anything but. Sorry folks I will not be returning. Star for the lamb.
Great selection! Both the beef and chicken were delicious.
The Feta fries were out of this world.
Gem in the rough! This is the type of food you will find in this Pita Shack. Dont be fooled by the exterior coat! The veggies were fresh, the beef had this nice charcoal crust, the homemade tzaziky was sharp and clear, and the portions are generous. Bring lots of napkin at your table because it will be dripping with goodness! All at a very affordable price. This experience beats many restaurant in Ottawa. Pita Shack is culture, and you want a taste of it... trust me.
Very good also healthy In my opinion Very good service Enjoyed it very much
I went here as a kid with my parents and i l9ved the food never got disappointed, the food is still the same as i remember and i cant get over the food at this amazing location.
Best food in the valley, EZ stop every time Im in town. Lots of options but I always get poutine with beef, the fam gets different things every time. 50/50 gyro pictured
Service and food was good
Generous portions and delicious food!
It was sooo bad I cant explain the service was bad the chef was eating an apple over the stove no gloves no forks had to eat with my hands it was overall nasty
Took my son for first time,three man ran the kitchen .one eating a apple while cooking no gloves ...we had no utensils,condiments or napkins unless we got up to ask ..the man cooking with a apple asked me to reach inside for vinegar and forks ...will truly never go back and the food was gross did not finish...ON TOP OF THAT HE MADE ME THINK TAP ON MY CARD WAS NOT WORKING AND ADDED 25%FLIPPING TIP !!! VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER !!
Excellent meals and friendly staff!
Not sure, just drove by the place
Love this place! First time there and they treated us like family. Great food, we will for sure be back.
Stopped in here and had a great conversation with the owner, she was very friendly and the Food was great, didnt expect to get an authentic meal like that in Pembroke. Would highly recommend!
Local, insanely delicious, massive portions, super friendly staff. Get this more than any other place around. The best!
Absolutely delicious foods, friendly service, average prices. Highly recommended.
Always delicious.
Sure enjoyed my gyros dinner served by friendly staff
I am not from around here but anytime I am, I will come back for those delicious Gyro and fries. Friendly and efficient staff.
One of my favorite restaurants in Pembroke the staff are more then amazing, the portions are generous if youre not sure what to get I would recommend the feta fries, beef gyro, potatoes or the rice, both are amazing and even a chicken caesar salad wrap for the people that like chicken hope this helps!
The most amazing, addictive fries in the world!
By far the best pita/Gyro place in the valley. And very quick friendly service!
Love the food and service but its freezing in here!;
Very tasty!! Generous portions!!
Great fish and chips
Back in the Valley for a few days to visit family and decided to try Pita Shack for lunch. Their food quality was a greatly pleasant surprise, and Im saying this coming from downtown Montreal (the restaurant capital of Canada)!! Their feta fries are unreal - perfectly crunchy and salted; Chicken pita was piled high with veggies and had lots of hummus with their spicy house mayo which was perfect; and greek salad was on point as well. I wish I had a Pita Shack near my place in Montreal instead of the greasy Greek options and boring chains (like Pita Pit) that I unfortunately only have access to. I will certainly be back!
excellent service, and very delicious food
Now this is GOOD food. Decent price and they dont skimp on the size.
Amazing food and prices
Big portion for cheap price.
Friendly staff, portion sizes were good, wasnt overly fussy with their taziki sauce.
My daughter and I picked up 3 gyros for us and Dad. My daughter is visiting from England, and she said she will fly back to Canada anytime for the best gyros ever right here in Pembroke. This is the real thing, we will be back again and again - thank you for forever Sophie!!
My son Nathaniel loves the Pita Store. Thank you for the great service and quality of food in your store.
Great service. Very fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Whole office loved it.
Super happy with both the food and the service we had there! Will absolutely return when we are in the area next
Family owned and run. Best gyro this side of the ocean, and better than most across! I LOVE THIS PLACE. Peter, Sofia and the rest of the crew are the best!
Really great food at great prices too. Their gyro is my go to!
Always very delicious. We make a point to come here every time we are in town!
Amazing service and amazing food. Very happy with everything. Thank you for feeding the hungry delivery driver. Shes not hungry anymore.
Absolutely love this place. Amazing food. Im not from Pembroke. I was visiting with a friend and was told this is a good place to eat. Thats a understatement. Big portions and a Amazing food. Definitely worth the money. I definitely recommend this place to eat if you visiting Pembroke.
Really good owner is a great man
Best place in Pembroke to eat if you like big bold flavors!! Never disappointed by the quality of their dishes.
