Come to Spitz, you'll like it. This place is great at what it does. What an excellent dish Doquitos was. Truly mind-blowing. Staff is very friendly and will help you with everything. It truly was a terrific experience. read more

IM OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE!!! I could live off of their sweet potato waffle fries and garlic aioli.

I went to spitz a couple of weeks ago. As I saw on yelp, they have a good rating and the pictures look so appetizing. So I was like why not let's try it! I was craving for a Mediterranean cuisine. I did not feel like eating there because I was too tired and I just want to have it to go. I parked in their private lot, but don't worry there are a lot of street parking nearby I ordered their street cart doner and fries. Their street cart doner is a meh. Something is wrong like it does not taste good, pretty dry and the wrap was pretty tough. However, the fries is so good! I love how they put a lot of toppings in their fries. The decor is pretty hype, the place seems so chill, they have a lot of games (board games) and beer on tap! I think If I am going back to this place i will get the fries, beer and played some board games. read more

Food is decent. Prices are kinda spendy, especially if you tip for serving yourself. Terrible service. Slow, forgetful, and non apologetic. read more

Spitz - Minneapolis - Spicy Spicy Doner - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Spitz is the name of a great Japanese band, some old swimmer guy, and kinda sounds like expectoration, but damn is it some good stuff, even if it wants to be Portland so fucking bad. I don't know what doner means in Turkish, I mean, I know what it is, but I don't know what it translates to directly, and I'm vegetarian anyway, so what the fuck do I care? In any case, Killer Mike (new traveling companion) and I enjoyed 2 (yes TWO) meals at Spitz this weekend, and even got the punch card to prove it. read more

Loved this place! The atmosphere is great with high ceilings and cool murals on the wall. You can play board games at your table like Sorry!, Jenga, Connect 4, and Cards against Humanity. The menu is short and succinct which I like. We ordered: - Street Cart Doner w/ beef and lamb - generous on the protein, love the wrap bread which was thin and just slightly crisp - Garden Bowl w/ falafel - so many different ingredients, very filling, and you still feel healthy - Street Cart Fries - gotta love fried food with cheese (and much more) on top. Very crispy and hot, I recommend a mix of regular and sweet potato waffle fries! - Sangria - Many flavor combos abound, I got white sangria with orange Everything was really tasty but also really filling! We couldn't finish any of our dishes, we took it all home and it made for really delicious leftovers the next morning. Dinner was great, but now I am dying to come back for happy hour! read more

On one of our many excursions out to a local brewery with some furry four legged buddies, we decided it would be best to fill our bellies with some food prior to drinking a few beverages. Looked up the breweries website to see which food truck was serving and wasn't really feeling it, so decided to take a look at my bookmarks on Yelp and found just the perfect spot to try. Worked out pretty well since this is the type of food that is easily transportable and easy to manage to eat while dealing with a handful of dogs and drinking a beer. Decided to skip out on their 'most popular wrap' aka Street Cart Doner and go down the road less traveled and get their Spicy Doner. Was in the mood for a lil heat, but unfortunately for my taste buds and belly this feeling was not going to be met. Even though the doner was not (insert sad emoji here) spicy, it still tasted amazing. We decided on getting an order of their Street Cart Fries w/THE WORKS (getting a mixture of the beef/lamb and sweet potato/regular fries) and boy were we happy when we opened that box. This thing was huge (eating the leftovers of it as I type away at this review) and included everything you can imagine you need on fries (minus the bacon of course). Decided to share them both since we figured it would be a lot of food and we were correct. You definitely get what you pay for the price. In my brief time sitting at the counter waiting for my food, the atmosphere felt pretty laid back and relaxing. They got some pretty cool designs/drawings on the walls. They have a few TV's around the bar in case you needed to watch every minute of your favorite sports game. There are also some board games to keep you entertained if you don't care much to stare at a TV screen. A pretty decent local craft beer tap list should keep your mouth from going dry while you wait for your food or while you enjoy your food. If you want to avoid the wait, call ahead or place your order via Yelp. There is pretty decent parking to the side and back of the building, but this lot is shared by the other businesses on that block so they might fill up fast depending on the time of the day. This new kid on the block is sure to have something for everyone. I definitely see myself visiting few more times. Oh and for those who were wondering, my Street Cart Fries finished just in time as I wrap up this review read more

This spot is really good and my partner and I were super impressed by the quality and creativity of the dishes. We're only in Minnesota for a few months but this is already a place we would want to go back to again! read more

Was really excited when I heard about this place opening up here. Have been wishing for a good doner kebab place anywhere here in the US since I got back from studying abroad. The food here was really good and flavorful. I love that they have cards and board games to play if you want. And the people serving really made you feel comfortable. The decor is kind of eccentric and brightly colored, but maybe it's what their going for being based in LA. Some outdoor seating on the sidewalk as well which is nice. Honestly, I think they have all of the flavors similar to how they are in Europe, but one thing is the bread itself is more like a wrap than the sandwiches were in Europe. Also, I did expect the spits of meat to be on display given their name, and it would help to enhance the experience. Nonetheless, I would absolutely go back for more. Large portions too! read more

This is a great place to grab some good drinks (small list of wines)and some great Mediterranean street food. Think Mediterranean bar food but a healthier twist with delicious bowls. Be aware though that you order at the counter and take a table number so it's not your traditional restaurant table service. The food takes a while to come out so make sure you have time. Fun atmosphere, good food, great cocktails. read more

Great Happy Hour, fun atmosphere, and excellent food! There are tons of options for vegetarians as well!

My friend and I went here during the week for happy hour and arrived around 5 PM. We ordered inside at the bar and sat outside at a table. We ordered the vegetable salad, the fries, and the fried meat thing that I can't remember the name of. When we arrived there were not that many people there. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. When we left there were a ton of people and a huge line. We ordered the mixed fries with sweet potato and regular fries. I think I actually prefer the regular fries sweet potato fries. I liked the fries a lot. I also liked the vegetable salad except it had too many onions-watch out who you are talking to afterwards! The fried lamb/beef thing was good and a little burnt. The drinks were interesting but I didn't love any of them. Definitely a place I would go back too. Especially because they have parking and happy hour until 7pm!! That is awesome! I'm happy to have finally tried this place in Northeast. read more

First time to Spitz and loved the food. Had to do pick up because of the COVID-19 virus but will look forward to coming in sometime when we are able. We shared a wrap which was perfect to share. The fries were really crisp and delicious. The service too was first rate. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

I visited Spitz for the first time to meet up with a friend during happy hour last night. It was sparse when I entered the space, but it became a little busier later. The restaurant itself is fairly spacious, clean, and bright, and I appreciated the art on the wall. The staff was also pretty friendly. I ordered the fried pita bread with hummus and two types of doquitos--beef and lamb and chicken. The fried pita bread was awesome! The doquitos were OK; not much to talk about. There was entirely too much stuff on top of them for my taste, rather messy, so I scraped off whatever was on top and ate them as is. The meat was not as well seasoned as I thought it should have been. I didn't really get much of a Mediterranean vibe from the food, but more of a regular-degular, American/chain restaurant serving basic happy hour appetizers feel. The chair in which I sat was a bit uncomfortable for me--too hard and too small. Also, if you want to sit on the bench and need more room, the table can't be moved, so that's also a bit of a con; however, as the bench is solid wood, that might be a little hard on the butt after sitting for a while, too. My suggestions are to put a comfy cushion onto the benches and unanchor the tables so they can be moved if need be. Overall, the food was pretty basic, and I caught a strong hipster vibe while there. Not really my get down, so more than likely, I won't be returning, unless someone is paying for my meal, there's a cool Meetup/Yelp event, or a friend or family member is hosting an event there. read more

The bowl and salad and French fries are on point. The sandwiches and gyros are great as well. They have seasonal sangria and a great rotating beer selection. read more

Spitz - Minneapolis - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

As a meat lover who doesn't always eat a lot of veggies, I love this place. I got a remix bowl and the white sangria. My favorite part from the Remix bowl was the deep-fried chickpea, which tasted like French fries but crispier. They gave me two sauces when they bring out the bowl. The mixed beef & lamp was decent. The portion for the entrée was big, I would say it will be enough/a little too much for a person. We got an order of the street cart fries as an appetizer, we asked to have half and half of both fries (normal & sweet potatoes). The regular fries was amazing. I would eat it just by itself because of its flavors. They have board games and alcoholic beverages there so it is a pretty place to grab dinner/ hang out with a group read more

3rd time to Spitz and the experience has gone from good to pretty bad with every time. Went there with my 3 kids on July 4 for a late lunch. Place was not busy at all and yet their staff seemed underwhelmed by having to work. Just not a good a vibe from the very beginning. Yes, it's a major holiday, but if you'd rather not work than shut the business for the day. The order process is not great - you have to order from the bar - although it's not terrible. What didn't help is that the order got screwed up and they missed half of the food we got. This happens, I get it. Meanwhile, the owner or manager came by our table looking all grumpy telling me twice that my son shouldn't run through the restaurant because they have concrete floors. Fair enough and I talked to my 6 yr old about it, but there is totally a way to deliver that message. Also, never looks good for the owner to take up restaurant space to do their work in the middle of the room. Get an office for yourself. The Berlin döner we ordered came out really slow despite the place not being busy and the execution was just not there. It was soggy, messy and had very little meat. As other reviewers have said, having grown up on döners in Berlin and elsewhere in Germany, the Spitz version is just not very good. We ended up ditching the wrap (it was nasty and it's not how it's made anyway) and used forks to pick over the rest of it. It's such a simple dish and yet it's done so wrong. Do yourself a favor and have the real thing, if you really want a döner, which is anywhere but at Spitz. The execution is just not there. read more

Doner is my jam. Had it first in Europe and whenever I can find some here in the US it becomes priority #1. So I was really eager to try this place out. The food is excellent. There are many variations of doner wraps or sandwiches with veggies and aioli. You can even get fries in your sandwich! They also have a side that is fried pita and hummus. Super delicious but they find you way too many pita for the small amount of hummus you get - that ratio needs to be adjusted. Also, the flow of the restaurant is confusing. You order your food and then sit down but when we got there the line was super long- they could use two registers if they are going to do orders that way. Overall the service was friendly, just a little slow. read more

Big portions and pretty good, but so messy. The wraps just absolutely fell apart. The fries come smothered in a bunch of... just, stuff. Atmosphere is 2hipster4me, industrial and noisy. Overall I would not return or recommend but if you got dragged into it by someone else you'd survive. read more

A welcome addition to NE Minneapolis, suitable either as a quick bite or a more prolonged sangria soaked discourse. Upon entering, you'll notice a scattering of tables, with a bar area. Be careful not to run into the window pane wall, whose purpose is either as a supporting structure or as the remnant of a glass foyer. Looking up above, there is neat neon colored lighting cables strewn about. The place uses ordering at the counter and self seating as the type of restaurant. There are numerous beers on tap, as well as large pitchers of three types of sangria (white, red, and rose based). I did notice them cutting fresh fruit for the sangria, which adds to the freshness. Additionally, for those seeking more water-based hydration, they have a pitcher of cold water with infusion of strawberry and basil leaves. I must say that the strawberry flavor in the water comes off really well. In terms of the aesthetics, the place tries to give off the street art vibe, with graffiti style art on the wall of various famous celebrities, as well as displayed vinyl record covers located behind the bar. The vibe does scream 'street' but doesn't really tie in with Mediterranean at all. I suppose they are amping up the 'street' component of Mediterranean street food. The menu offerings consists of various types of wraps, salads, and then non-wrap 'basket' type options, as well as a few sides. These all can be modified with the addition of beef/lamb, chicken, or mix, or you can leave it vegetarian. I opted for the Doner basket while my friends went for the doners and salads. The food tasted good. It has a fresh, crispness to the vegetables. The fries were nice and crispy, the meat had good bite and textures to it, and the flavoring sauces and pita chips were quite tasty as well. All in all, satisfying food choices in a trendy environment. Great to get something to go and sit by by the river near St. Anthony Main, or just to chill with a group of people for happy hour or what have you. read more

Spitz - Minneapolis - Doner basket - Mediterranean Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This place is over priced for what you get. I had the Mediterranean wrap and it was underwhelming. There were way too many red onions and they overpowered everything. The wrap was falling apart, like literally to pieces. Also, they put the sauce on the side which I find irritating especially in a wrap situation. Like do you really want me to unwrap my wrap and pour the sauce on and then re-wrap it again? No thanks. The fried chickpeas and olives sounds amazing but it's gross. I'm also really tired of these hybrid fast-casual/bar/"street food" places. Decide what genre you are. This place has nothing on Wally's which is far superior to this wanna-be. 2 stars. read more

We ordered curbside pick-up today for our family dinner. We were all really disappointed with our food. We ordered the mixed fries, and the sweet potato fries were horrible, cold and chewy. The regular fries were fine through. We it came to the 3 wraps we ordered, overall we were not happy with any of them. The chicken was dry and chewy, the actual wraps were very dry. Over half of our meal was left over. We've eaten here many times before and thought the food was good, so I'm not sure what has happened. i don't think I will be coming back to this restaurant. I want to support our local establishment, but i don't want to waste my money. read more

Welp - - I might as well sell my refrigerator and write a check to Spitz because I know I am not going to be able to pry my knuckles from the doorhandle working only 4 block away. Holy Spit(Z)! It is sooooo good. My eyeballs nearly popped out of my head like a cartoon upon my first few bites of the Streetcar Doner while visiting for my first time today. It's like an amped up gyro but somehow 5x better. I loved the little chopped cucumber hunks that added to the texture of the wrap. The side of fries is excellent too; fried perfect so they're still fluffy on the inside and crispy but not crunchy on the outside. The seasoning they use has a just a touch of sweetness that balances really nicely. Oh, and the free water? It has basil and strawberries in it! Say whaaaaat?! Yes, you read that right. Maybe they switch it up but that's what was in there today and it was delicious. It's the one time I was actually tempted away from getting a beer (which they have a nice selection of by the way; Castle Danger Cream Ale FTW!). HOT TIP: It's smart to tear the wrapping on your wrap a little bit at a time while you're eating it for less mess; think "unravel" as you eat. But be careful, once you get down to the last few bites makes sure you're not actually eating paper like I was because they tuck the bottom into the wrap itself, lol. In related news: delicious paper! The sauce really brings out the nutty flavor. If you're in the area stop on by and check out; I know, I know. That two block radius is FILLED with gems like Brasa, Lu's, and Kramarczuk's but I'm telling you - - you won't regret it! read more

What a great place! It has a very hipster/Artisan vibe with a dash of Yum! I had the an amazing wrap with sweet potato fries!..wow! They also have fun/unique cocktails! I'm so glad we found this place! Kid friendly too....def. a bonus! read more

When I'm looking for a warm wrap, I come to Spitz. It has the great Mediterranean flavor with a spicy option to chill for those Minnesotans who like to keep it cool. Having lived in France and had a "Kebab" - this reminds me of it. Be sure to opt for the Doner w/pommes which isn't the "most popular wrap" but fries in your wrap is ALWAYS the way to go. I'd skip the Sangria sadly the four options because you can get it better somewhere else, but the beer menu is solid. The also have a punch card. And can't forget about the games if you're with the crew. Otherwise sitting at the bar is my jam. read more

Very cute, very fun place. I got their mojito and thought it was the right level of sweet and not at all bitter of a drink. The green sauce is smooth without tasting heavy and really complements their street cart fries well! I think it'd be a fun happy hour place. read more

The food was good, but when we got a text saying our food was ready (after we ordered online), we showed up in person - only to be told the food wouldn't actually be ready for 20 more minutes. The guy at the front seemed confused about why we were confused. Just a weird and off putting experience. read more

I have been here twice and I love it, I wish it was closer to my house! Unfortunately my first time was so good that my second was mostly just a repeat, next time I will expand my scope, I promise. What I can say for sure are that they street car fries (half waffle sweet potato, half straight regular potato) with the works (I like the half beef half lamb meat option) are wonderful! Both times I have gotten them as an appetizer/snack option and have split them with 3 people, it's perfect in that setting. I am also really a fan of the red sangria with cardamom and the dessert pita option. The place is a cute, fast casual restaurant with good ambiance. I will be back again. read more

Hubby had the lamb doner kebab, it was HELLA salty!! Like, ouch my heart salty. I had the falafel kebab and it was flavorful, spicier than expected. The falafel texture wasn't quite right, but we are blessed in Minneapolis with some amazing falafel places...so I have that handled. After we were served, the chef came out and spoke to a customer who was waiting and explained that they are working on the falafel and that their dish would be delayed. Our wait was 15-20mins, which seemed long. Long story short, might try it again but try different dishes. I wasn't blown away, but I am hopeful. read more

I was anxious to check this place out, as it is nearby home, and I do often enjoy falafel, shawarma, and the like. I had not really investigated what it was all about, and when I arrived there, the concept was different than I had anticipated. A dimly lit bar atmosphere featuring beer and sangria, with a fast casual kitchen. Nice beer selection for sure, and I could see having a drink and quick bite here. The prices seemed a bit higher than I would have expected for "street food", but I thought perhaps the quality and flavors would overcome this objection. For instance $3 for two tiny falafel balls, with 2 oz. of hummus and some garnish struck me as a pinch high. The falafel WAS pretty tasty, but it was not life changing. Also, it was totally over packaged for take out. No need for a huge plastic clamshell when a wax paper bag would do fine (possibly better in regard to letting steam out and keeping things crisp) if they left out the garnish. I got a Street Cart Doner with shawarma, which was what, about $10 I think. Not tiny, but not overwhelmingly giant by any means. I found the wrap did not withstand the amount of moisture inside, and it was soggy by the time I got it home. It just fell apart in gluey globs when trying to eat it. The fact that the chicken was absolutely dried out to near jerky texture probably did not help. Just shards or leathery meat throughout. Not pleasant. Flavor was actually good, but what a sad mess of textures: challengingly chewy bits within lumpy goop. Just a poor experience. Within a couple of hours, severe gastric distress began. Had to be food poisoning, but not too intense. I was not bedridden or concerned enough to go to urgent care, but digestive issues lingered for a couple of days. I have eaten this style of food from much seedier looking places and street carts, and never had a problem. I suspect I received some chicken that should have been disposed of in a place other than in my dinner. Sooooo, yeah. I think I will pass on a return trip. read more

Delicious vegan options! I got the medi bowl with the lemon sauce and falafels - yum! Fun and cool vibe as well! Highly recommend!

Do not order from here through a food deliver service. They gave our bite squad driver 1/3 of our order. This was after we waited for delivery from Bite Squad which was pretty busy. I figured they would reimburse me or try to have empathy since it was a Friday night and my first time trying this place. The manager had no empathy and basically said I would need to call bite squad to have bite squad then get money back from the restaurant that the restaurant would give to bite squad to pay me back. Such a hassle. It was so rude. If the restaurant is doing well two wraps shouldn't really break the bank for customer loyalty. I will not go there or order from them again. read more

I had an awesome time with friends at Spitz. Super comfy place and the gal was very knowledgable. It was pretty quiet mid-day when we stopped by. I didn't get to try their food on the menu but would definitely stop by again! read more

Some of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. Even met the owner and he was very accommodating/friendly. Zesty feta and street cart wrap were amazing as well as their homemade hot sauce! Highly recommend this place for great food and experience! I would upload a picture but I ate all my food before writing this review! read more

Awesome atmosphere, even better food. We arrived around 2pm on a weekday and there were people there but plenty of room. My fiancé and I had the Street Car Doner, mixed bowl of skinny/sweet potato waffle fries, and Medi Bowl and left full and happy. Portions are large and it's possible to take home the second half of the Street Car Doner for another meal. I enjoyed the Dill sauce more than the Berliner sauce because it had more flavor. The sweet potato fries were on point. The Medi Bowl was aesthetically pleasing with its multitude of components as it was delicious and very filling for one person. Overall, would recommend and we will be coming back here! read more

I frequented this place often when living in LA so I decided to give the mpls location a try. I walked in and waited in line behind one couple to order. A few min later in walks a guy who immediately walks up to the bar and sits down. Once the couple was done ordering in front of me, the cashier ignores me and walks to the guy at the bar to get his order. Not happy about this at all. It's obvious common practice to take orders as ppl walk in. The manager was nice about it and said he'd talk to the employee but if he doesn't already know that he should be working in service. Otherwise food was good but my lemonade was bitter. Is it sugar free?! read more

Food is beyond delightful, delicious and healthy. Staff is friendly and fun. I appreciated this place so much!!!

Ordered takeout, everything I ordered was Delicious! Street Greek gyro is amazing. Will be ordering again/ dining in.
