Pita Pocket

What a delicious delightful surprise! This little gem is inside the Lukeoil gas station quick marketplace. Past the grab and go items in the back is where you'll find the cheerful staff who were very patient with me as I ask questions about the menu. I settled on the chicken orzo soup which was like my grandma's. Velvety smooth and loaded with chicken, carrots and celery and onions. The pita sandwich I chose was the lamb. It was delicious by itself, but when my toppings ( lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes, feta, onions,) were added along with tahini sauce it delivered to a new level. Hot sauce on the side so I could control that next level experience.... sandwich was big and the pita was beyond good. Definitely give this gas station spot a try - it's not typical gas station dining.

Honestly from the outside I was a little suspicious but 100/10 I’ve been here three days in a row since. It’s delicious and light and everything is so Fresh. The falafels are to die for

Did this look suspicious when I searched for “food” while traveling for work? It did. A pita store inside a LUKEOIL gas station (what is that, I’m from Delaware??). But alas, the competing options were WaWa and Applebees - I’m much more of a risk taker than that, so Pita Pocket here I come. Exterior: well-maintained but no thrills. Suspicion remains… Interior: the floors were as clean as the St. Patrick’s church I recently visited. The product placement was perfect across each aisle. But in the back stood the holy grail - the Pita Pocket. A menu curated for the hungry traveler with a well-ordained palette. Behind the glass lies the freshest diced vegetables, stews and soup this side of the Mississippi. I ordered the chicken kabob pita sandwich and much to my surprise a perfectly season

Absolutely delicious!!! The best falafel ever! It was flavorful and fried to perfection. I asked for the sauces on the side. I like to dip my falafel. My husband had the beef kabob pita pocket. It is delicious! The bread is fresh, the beef is seasoned perfectly and the toppings are crisp. He loved it! We ordered the beef stew over rice platter too and it was delicious as well. The beef was tender, moist and the flavors were delicious. The salad is fresh and crisp. The cooks are friendly and they can cook! Everything is made to order. This place is definitely a hidden gem! The absolute best gas station food we ever had! Do yourself a favor and go get some!

Soooo I was on my way to Reading Terminal Market to grab dinner but came across a post by J.L. Jupiter and changed directions. I've driven past this gas station at least 100+ times and had no idea what was beyond the front doors. My stewed beef platter over rice was amazingly delicious!! It came with a side salad and had plenty of options for toppings too. The food prep/ serving area is very clean and service was prompt and courteous. There are two small round high top tables indoors and two picnic tables outside for seating. All of the meat they use is Halal (Kosher). You will not be disappointed!!
