    This place is fairly new to Desert Ridge. I had a taste for French fries and knew they had them. Staff in there are very friendly and helpful. She was a pleasure to talk to. She took my order. I was chomping on hot crispy delicious fries in no time. So good. Their menu looked interesting and by then my stomach was full. I made a mental note to try it one day. Large shared parking lot and WiFi.

    So I was interested in trying this place even though I'm not a big gyro fan. Hubby ordered one and I was impressed with the size of it and the freshness of it. I had to have a bite and found it actually to be pretty good. I had just gotten fries with the gyro meat I added on top and with the aioli found that to be delicious. Garlic breath aside, very good food!

    Cutesy decor.

    Decor was cutesy kitsch. In or outdoor seating. One goes to the counter to order and that person was friendly & pleasant. The Spitz bowl had yummy Mac n cheese, good fries and tasty protein. It was a generous portion for the money and quite tasty.

    We have wanted to try this place for a while and so we got it to go... I placed an order online... And.... It was meh. First, the good. The flavor of the wraps were good. The bowl my husband got was also flavorful. The fries were good... But cold. We ordered: Vegan falafel wrap combo without drink (they didn't give us the fries we ordered) Flavors were good, wrapped so that it was easy to fall out of you didn't watch it as you took it out of the bag. Street Cart Wrap combo without drink (they didn't give us the fries we ordered) Flavors were good but this was packaged so flimsy I almost dropped it pulling it out of the bag. It wasn't wrapped up securely and I almost lost it to the floor. It was also cold. Doner bowl: good flavors Falafel and hummus side - okay... But not worth the $2 Side of mixed meat - meat was dry and cold. 2 sides of fries - good, but cold. The food was not hot, in fact I was tempted to reheat it. They also botched our order and didn't include the side of mixed fries for either wrap. They did apologize and offered to refund the fries but almost didn't take my order so they COULD process the refund. I had to ask if they wanted the order number. I'm not sure if I will go back. It seemed expensive for what you got.

    This place is super cute and trendy. The service and atmosphere is great, too. It's very casual and fast food, but packed with flavor. All orders were big and filled with everything you'd want in a wrap/bowl. The fries were so crispy and delicious. I would go back just for fries. However, all the food was delicious, filled with tasty sauces. The only thing is that I got chicken in my Remix bowl and it was all dark meat (like chicken shawarma) and it was pretty dry and looked like it may have been sitting out for a bit. I would have loved to see a fresher juicier chicken and maybe even a chicken kebab option. Other than that, I would highly recommend this place.

    Why anyone wouldn't give this place five stars is beyond me! This place was amazing. Will be coming often. The decor is retro and awesome and the ambiance is fun. Even the restrooms are decorated with albums and their covers. Had a chance to have a great convo with the owner. Super nice guy. Definitely should support this establishment. The food was delicious. We ordered the street fries. They we're soooo good and the fries were crispy. I ordered wrap, and a couple of bowls. All was fantastic, no complaints! They also serve beer and wine. Great patio seating as well. I strongly encourage you to come and eat here.

    It was so cold I could only eat a few bites. Disappointing

    Ordered to go, ordered approximately 11:25 am, food didn't come to me for 37 minutes. There were 6 people that came in after me and they received their foot ahead of me. Not right. Unacceptable. Food was cold and soggy. The fries were cold, the fries in the gyro were ice cold. The meats were luke warm. I could only eat a few bites, I like my food hot. A woman who i spoke with said they were short handed and that's why food took so long. That doesn't make sense if 6 other people received their food ahead of me. Very disappointed!!!

    mhmmm best fries and chicken wings here, food is fast, waiters/cashier is very nice, unique interior very sexy. Please go here!!

    extra dressing cup I paid $1.25 for and it wasn't even half full-next to my keurig k-cup to show how small it is-definitely a rip off !

    I have to say very disappointed how quickly Spitz is starting to go downhill and skimp on items . Most restaurants start off giving amazing extras and always filling things to the max and slowly get less and less . I thought Spitz would go a little longer since they are still fairly new . They are one of my favorite places for Mediterranean food and I love their street fries (get them half / half and you'll never go back ) . What is very disappointing is that you pay for any extra dressing , which I guess I understand in this economic time , but If I am paying $1.25 for an extra dressing cup I expect it to be a full cup , not 1/3 and barely able to get anything out of it !! That's not good reason to make your customers mad and lose them for something very cheap on your end . Additionally we got my niece the kids quesadilla and she kept saying the cheese was weird ... after my sister and I tried it , it took awhile but figured out it was the Kraft cheese slices !! Those are not great cheese at any time but definitely not for a quesadilla! I hope these are one offs but If not I'll need to find a new go-to place

    Kids gyro and fries

    A delicious fresh stop For some reason, I have passed over this place about a hundred times while at Desert Ridge. But today, my son and I stopped in for dinner. He had the kids gyro w fries. The gyro was big enough for him but he is only 6. The fries came in a quite large portion. Both were delicious. I got the Remix Bowl. It is part of my resolution to try to eat a bit healthier and this bowl was delightful. All the ingredients mixed together with a decent

    Full bowl

    A good dinner, but cannot give much props to a place that doesn't serve white meat chicken (only mixed). That being said, the falafel substitute was very good balls and all the other ingredients in the bowl were fresh and tasty. The crispy garbanzo, feta and rice were all nice touches. I guess using Lavash bread makes the place European?

    Medi Bowl with chicken
    Cindy C.

    Delicious and healthy meals served here. All the ingredients were so fresh. Everything had ton of flavor without being salty; no need for extra sauces that it came with. We tried the gyro, Medi bowl and Doner basket. All three were equally excellent. Glad to have this option at Desert Ridge. Service was excellent too. Enjoy! Highly recommend.

    Delicious and more health conscious addition to desert ridge. I've seen so many places come and go from desert ridge over the years and hope this place is here to stay! I got takeout tonight after a movie and was not disappointed. I got a bowl that had rice, falafel, roasted chickpeas, corn, slaw, feta, and olives. I swear I ordered one without olives since I don't like them, but I was able to pick them off easily! They had my order ready quickly, my husband had a beer there while we waited! Loved the decor here, the records on the bathroom walls are cute too! Food quality was good, the falafel is really really crispy, very seasoned too. I loved the sauces too, it came with a harissa and I think a type of herbed tahini? Very tasty and filling meal!

We've spent a lot here over the years and have always supported and recommended this location. That's why my son's recent experience was so disappointing. He stopped in to get some work done, something he's done many times during slow hours. Sometimes he buys something, sometimes he doesn't, and it has never been an issue. This has always been a welcoming place. This time, a staff member told him he couldn't sit and work unless he purchased something. What made it worse was the explanation: a table of eight older gentlemen "didn't like" that he was sitting there working, and that was the reason he needed to leave or buy something. It wasn't busy, it wasn't about space, and it wasn't about a policy. It was simply another group of customers not liking his presence, and the staff acting on that. After years of loyalty, that was incredibly disappointing. If there's a new policy, that's fine, just communicate it clearly and apply it consistently. Asking a long‑time customer to leave because another table "didn't like" them is not acceptable. This experience genuinely made us rethink continuing to support this location.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered and were asked if we were dining in or taking our food to go. We said dining in, but there were no open tables inside (around 12 total) and zero tables available outside. We ended up waiting in the back for a table to open while staff repeatedly walked around looking for our table number, never once asking if the order might be ours. After several minutes, someone finally asked if we were number 11. We were. Once seated, the decor was cute, but service was mediocre at best. The food was the biggest disappointment. It had been a while since we last visited, and it's definitely not the same. The rice was bland and flavorless, and the gyro meat tasted like frozen, reheated product -- very dry, with the main flavor being salt. Instead of the fresh-carved gyro meat you typically see on a vertical rotisserie at most Greek restaurants, the kitchen area was closed off, so there was no visible preparation or carving station. For nearly $50, the experience simply did not match the price. Between the disorganized service and underwhelming food, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to supporting East Valley Greek spots that offer better quality and value. I want to preface, this place used to be good. Not sure of ownership changed, but save yourself a trip and find something better and more affordable
