A staple in the south Eugene area - I am grateful to have a local spot like this to go to when I just need a decent sandwich or gyro. The fries are great, too. Don't come in a hurry. I don't mind being patient especially since the servers and cooks are always very kind. There are some games and toys for kiddos but no changing table. The wine and beer selection is pretty good too. read more

Hard to find at first as the name "Jiffy" is on the outside. Parking was the next challenge very small area so maybe miss the lunch or dinner crowd for a spot. One in you may realize that seating is the another challenge. Very limited inside and outside patio area would be ideal in nice weather. Also a little noisy so I was able to get a table in the corner on the inside. You order and pay at the counter and, if you aren't familiar with the menu, you might want to at online so you know in advance what to order. Friendly service with a smile. Had a huge Gyro, appetizer plate, and dolmas. All in as very delicious and filling. Will come back to try some burgers or sandwiches because they looked good, too. read more

Tradewinds café is the best hidden gem in South Eugene. It has consistently outstanding Mediterranean fare in a great location. walk or run around Amazon and come here to reward yourself with a gyro. Plenty on tap and in the fridge, and their patio is a great place to watch the sunset with their greek fries read more

Don't let the lack of luster fool you... This is hands down a winner. The menu has a great selection. It is apparent that neighbors join for coffee and socialization. Great staff! read more

Tried this place right before moving out of Eugene and I wish I knew about it before. There aren't many mediterranean restaurants in the area so Tradewinds is a really good option. The food was good and there is a ton of variety within the menu. We tried the lamb gyro, greek salad and sampler plate. There is also great patio seating in the front that makes for a nice dinning experience during warmer weather. The only complaint we had was the wait time. This restaurant is self order at the counter so we expected a quick dinning experience, but it did take a while to get our food. read more

I love this place. I've only ever ordered the Greek food and I would say that's enough. They have traditional gyro meat (thinly sliced beef/lamb), souvlaki chicken, and falafel for protein choices. You pick if you want a gyro (sandwich), plate/bowl with rice, or a sampler plate (like a snack plate). All are tasty! They also have burgers, sandwiches, and salads. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. It's pretty small, but there's a nice little patio too. It used to be a market so the place is still lined with coolers. Not the fanciest place but clean and cozy. read more

Great little nook! I enjoyed the falafel and the gyros! Also, as a cheat I would bring home the sampler dishes for an easy dinner. Nice staff. read more

We've been eating at Tradewinds at Jiffy in Eugene for a few months. In recent weeks the menu items we order have been laced with chili when the menu says they don't have any. I hate chili and specifically ask when ordering if something has it in it. I have been told what I'm ordering does not. Then, with my mouth on fire from the capsaicin, have to complain. They make no effort at recompense and this last time told me that since it says on the menu that he mediplate doesn't have chili I must be wrong becasue they can't imagine how it would get there. That, of course, is my point. It shouldn't be there and it is. Utter lack of logic and totally unhelpful. Closest restaurant to my house, but I'm never going back. read more

Everything on the menu is wonderful. You can't go wrong. I've been going here since they opened.

I had a great experience at tradewinds today! Cute spot. They had a rlly nice outdoor patio for seating. Good ambiance. The menu had a lot of great options! Mediterranean food as well as burgers, salads, sandwiches, and more. Huge drink menu as well. Perfect for a quick lunch! Would recommend. Will definitely be back! read more

Still my favorite for Mediterranean food, TradeWinds also serves some of the best sandwiches, burgers and fries on the West Coast. You can't beat the gyros but don't stop there. Today I had a most fantastic Cajun Cobb Salad. It was great. They also have a super beer, wine and coffee selection. This place ain't fancy but with fantastic food and low prices you can't beat it for casual dine in or take home for large or small parties. read more

Love this delicious place! Have been coming here for a year now and have never been disappointed. I 99% of the time get the voodoo chicken salad. Fiancé gets the mezzi plate, this time tried the burger which looks yummie. They have house made non alcoholic drinks, CBD drinks, beer and wine. A must try! read more

Delicious food always. They have seating inside, but we prefer to do takeout. It can get a little crowded. Employees are overall friendly and helpful. Everything is phenomenal, but the falafel is my favorite. read more

Honestly some of the best food in Eugene and a great value. One of our favorite casual restaurants so we eat there frequently (or do take out) for lunch and dinner, enjoying their Greek Pita sandwiches, Greek salads, sampler plate, and really really good burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. Really one of those few places where we could order anything off the extensive menu and know we would enjoy it. Serving sizes are generous so you won't walk away hungry for sure. It's counter service, bus your own tables, water and condiments self serve on a corner counter. So not 'fine dining' ambiance, but certainly is fine food and the reduced expenses for staffing translates to a great value. They have an enclosed outdoor area with heaters which is nice during the darker months. Highly recommended. read more

Tradewinds serves up some super tasty Greek/Mediterranean style food and has a nice enclosed outdoor seating area that was surprisingly comfortable. We were helped by a very friendly lady at the counter (Abbie?) who also served up our food when ready. I had the classic Gyro Pita, my wife had the sampler plate and others in our party had the veggie pita, Medi plate (falafel plate?), My Big Fat Greek Pita, and the Chicken pita. Everything was tasty and filling. Good place to try for some wonderful Greek or Mediterranean foods. Thanks! read more

I frequently get to-go food here and it's always on point. I recommend the burgers and grilled cheese. My only complaint is sometimes the burgers are a bit under for my spouse's preference. This restaurant is casual counter service with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

This was probably my favorite place from what I tried in Eugene! Everyone was so nice and the food was delicious! It left me feeling satisfied and was by far the best value for a meal! It was just crowded because it's so popular. So, it got very warm inside because there are no shade blinds in the second room. Otherwise, it's cozy and I would totally be a regular if I lived here! read more

The food is really good. It's a bit of a funky spot. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. I'd say sort of pub gate with a Mediterranean twist. Everything seems really fresh. I love the chicken pita and fries. Salads look really good. My husband and friends liked their sandwiches. We sat amongst mops, cleaning supplies, and re-stocking items in the corner, facing a toilet. Not the greatest space. My order was brought out incorrectly and it took awhile for them to get me what I actually ordered. Like- not sure how to rate this place because the food is really good. The space and service is kind of meh. I think I'm gonna go with 4 stars and call it eclectic. (I've seriously never had anything I didn't like, nor been with anyone that had anything they didn't like.) no ohotos, this is based on my last experience plus several others. read more

Amazing Mediterranean menu and after coming here for years, just realized that on the back of the menu is a pretty extensive Deli Sandwich menu. Didn't know I could love this place anymore! read more

I've eaten here a dozen times or more and am sitting at my table waiting for food now. This is a place where you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table, so no table service per se. In general, I would rate the food 5 stars for the price point. I typically will get a pita sandwich, lamb or chicken and a side Mediterranean salad. I also appreciate their beer cooler which offers one of my favorites (Wienstephaner Weissbier) at only $4.25- this is a draw that brings me back! The salad and sandwich vegetables are fresh and inviting. The dressing is tasty. The chicken is nicely cooked while the lamb strips at times are overcooked and even crunchy. They do not appear to slice the lamb off a loaf like Cafe Glendi, so my guess is that it is frozen and then cooked on a flat top. Some negatives- While this is becoming common, I find it a bit offensive: If you pay with a card they use an iPad and spin it around for you to select a tip where the minimum is 18%. There is no table service. THIS is where "tip fatigue" comes from. I will add that they do not do a good job of cleaning tables between guests. Frequently, i grab some napkins and clean my own table. So tell me why the *minimum* tip is 18%. Nevertheless, with all that said, I return for the food and the beer. If management adressed the annoyances I mentioned I would cheerfully add another star! read more

I have never had a bad day fishing with them, great group of people. Only place we will go out with

Found this place on a whim and I will go back any time I'm in the area! The cashier was so sweet with my daughter. My daughter is two and just fell in love with her and the whole experience was lovely. ( I can't remember her nam but she wore a black lip and had black hair) We got the Mediterranean plate with chicken and it was delicious! read more

Excellent food and service. Great local place. It's our go to. The bread from Reality is amazing and the food is fresh. The Meza. Plate is so yummy! I think I would be lost without the Jiffy Club! read more

The atmosphere is kinda lacking, it's a quirky place. But the food is great. It's your typical order at the counter and bus your own table kind of establishment. The menu has a variety of options so that all the picky eaters in my family can find something they like. I personally love the Mediterranean options. The gyro and Greek fries are delicious. The dolmas are good and satisfied the craving but not my favorite. The spanakopita was so flaky it shattered everywhere but was crunchy and creamy. Trade winds is also a bottle shop so lots of options for liquid refreshment. read more

Tradewinds Café & Catering Co - Everyone can get something they are happy with - gyros, burgers, chicken sandwich, sampler plate, extra Greek fries and spanakopita. - Mediterranean Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Local Spot. Yummy. I would say an almost great selection of beer and wine. Inside is a little crowded for dining in, but there is sheltered outdoor seating that in nice on a spring or summer evening. Menu options for GF folks and Vegetarians. Don't seem to have any issue at all customizing an order. Service is good and always cheery. Can be a little noisy outside, so not the spot for a low-key quiet date night. If you want BBQ sauce, you have to bring your own as they do not offer it on any menu item and don't offer it as a condiment. I have to have BBQ souse for my fries. read more

The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back! Only downside for us is that we live across town, but it was well worth the trip! read more

This place is definitely a little diamond in the rough. I believe family owned and operated. Once I ordered take out and the kid told me his dad was out of town so it might take a little longer than usual. The front patio is heated and they sell beer, wine, and espresso drinks. This makes it a great place to meet friends that like to drink all the things lol. They have a Mediterranean menu and then gourmet sandwiches and burgers too. They do it right. Everything is fresh, and large portions! The place has a bunch of wine, beer, and other beverage coolers inside. They supply small, and extra large menus. (Really easy to read!) Also, you can see into the kitchen. Maybe not the cleanest looking restaurants at face value, but nothing concerning either. You do need to buss your own tables, and get your own water, but all in all this is the sort of place you meet your friend for a glass of wine, or a great lunch. We ordered the spani plate and the mixed sampler plate. We also got the housemade dolmas, and Greek fries with feta and taziki. We also got a glass of wine, which was a huge pour, and a large mocha and we only paid just over $40. We felt like we got a really good deal. read more

Tradewinds was a great spot to grab some Greek food! Their menu also offered so much more than Greek, they also had sandwiches and salads that looked really good!! I got the Greek Sampler plate with gyro meat and it was so delicious! The hummus was definitely my favorite:) Tradewinds also has a very nice wine selection, so if you ever need a good place to grab some food and drinks this is a great place to do so! The service was good and the atmosphere was very cute and cozy with a nice screened in outside area to enjoy your food when the sun is out. I only wished they played some nice music to match the vibes! read more

I've eaten here a number of times .. The Ruben, the blackened chicken, the gyro are all good. There's a great dine-in vibe in a warmed up "porch" or a few tables inside. Order at the counter and grab a number .. I've never been disappointed. read more

Get out of here, this place is 4.5 stars?? Some of these reviews have to be fake. This spot is VERY mediocre and should not be above 3.5 stars overall. Greek flatbread pizza was terrible. I could make much better at home. Gyro meat is very generic frozen strips cut into chunks. Red sauce is terrible and crust itself is so basic. How about let's swap to a tatziki base and crumble some feta on top and boom, already much better. Greek fries were as advertised, the fries themselves were not that great though, tasteless and needed more salt. Some weird characters inside during my visit as well was just the cherry on top. NOT worth going out of your way for. read more

Fresh and delicious food, plus outdoor seating and a huge wine and beer selection. I ordered the spanakopita and salad plate and I couldn't have asked for better--spanakopitas were crispy, perfectly seasoned filling, with lots of tzatziki for dipping, and the salad was made with nice fresh ingredients. (I'm not sure if the salad had a dressing, and since it was take-out I just put on some oil and vinegar at home.) I was impressed with the food quality and will definitely visit here again. Also, note that on the outside the restaurant says "Jiffy's" because I think two restaurants merged together. If you're having trouble finding it, that's why. read more

After having an inclining for greek food and my son and I chose here to go. I had the 541 pita, garlic fries, and a arnold palmer. The pita was good, but the only thing is I wished to have gotten something else because the artichokes and sauces were cold and contrasted greatly with the warm pita and chicken. The garlic fries were crispy and very good. Overall, it was a okay experience. Might have to come back and try something else! read more

Just visited for the first time a few days ago, after having Tradewinds on my list forever! My friend and I had a great time, leisurely enjoying the covered patio and catching up over some yummy Greek food.There were a few individuals, families, and dogs out enjoying the same, so it's a pretty welcoming, versatile place. No interior seating, at least currently--don't know if that is always the case or just per Covid. It is casual and you order/pay at the counter inside but they bring food out to your table. There was a steady stream of takeout orders going out the whole time, so that seems to be a popular option as well. ** Sampler platter w/ falafel - Delish! I opted for the sampler just so I could try a little bit of everything. Next time, I've got my eye on trying a pita. My only critic is that the falafel seemed quite small compared to everything else on the plate. ** Lavender lemonade - I would go back just for this!! I love anything with lavender and it pairs so perfectly with the tartness of the lemon. The lady who fixed my beverage let me take a taste test first to see if it was lavender-y enough (I asked for more!) so that was really awesome. read more
