Mr D's - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was marked by a lack of attention to detail regarding my order instructions. I believe there needs to be a greater emphasis on employing staff with the right cultural understanding to prepare distinct foods. The order wasn't followed as instructed.

My husband and I visited this spot while at Pike Place, coming from New York. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the gyro. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. What was particularly disappointing was the price, around $15-$17, which is insanely expensive for a gyro, especially when you can get a delicious one for $5 in NYC.

First things first, it’s Mr. D’s and NOT Mr. Deeds. Now that we got that straight, let’s get another thing straight: Fries don’t belong on gyros. While some eateries might pull that fry-on-gyro stunt, Mr. D’s accommodates your taste. I’ve tried gyros all over, and I can safely proclaim there are only two places I will always get a gyro: Mr. D’s at the market and a place in Missoula, MT. Other than those two, it’s usually a miss. Mr. D’s has fresh meat off the rotating spit and the BEST tzatziki – you can even buy a tub to go! That tzatziki is amazing on everything. Mr. D’s piles your gyro so high it’s almost too much, and you’re almost guaranteed to make a mess. Finally, Mr. D’s charges a more than fair rate for his gyros, which is pretty cheap for Seattle. So quit hesitating and grab you a meat cone or yee-row if you will.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The “Yeero” fries were top notch. I will definitely be stopping again to try some of the other food; it's definitely worth the stop! Pro Tip: the half portions are more than enough for two people!

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, particularly concerning the food. While Pike Place is generally great, this was the worst Gyro I've ever eaten. The falafel, consisting of only 3 small pieces, was mushy. I was asked if I wanted hummus and tzatziki before payment, but unfortunately, both were watered down and tasted as if they came from condiment bottles. To add to the disappointment, these extras cost an additional $2-4. The gyro itself was overwhelmingly filled with romaine lettuce (about 85%), and the pita was a mere 4" in diameter. Witnessing its preparation was enough to anticipate a poor experience. When I inquired about feta, I was told it was an extra $2. Since I had already paid with a card and had no cash, I had to forgo it, which would have pushed the total cost to around $20 for what felt like a sandwich. I've had significantly better gyros from mall food courts. I will not be returning.

My experience at the restaurant involved enjoying some tasty, juicy lamb skewers with nicely done onion. However, the Dolmathes did not taste fresh, which led to a star deduction. The service was reasonably fast, but the seating was very limited.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially the food. I had the best Gyros I have ever eaten! The lamb on the spit was expertly prepared, and I watched them shave the meat off. The quantity of meat on my Gyros was generous. The tzatziki was creamy and delicious, and they certainly didn’t skimp on it. I was so happy eating this delicacy! I would highly recommend! 👍👍

My experience at the restaurant was very disappointing. The fries were old and funky. When I asked for them to be replaced, they refused. The food was crappy overall. I would avoid this place.

I fancied some Greek food after seeing the shop, so I got myself a chicken shish-kebob and baklava, and it was nice! There could have been a bit more stuff on the shish-kebob, but just the chicken was still nice. The baklava was extremely nice and very sweet. I found the staff were friendly and warned me about my wait.

My experience at this restaurant was a complete rip-off. I paid $20 for a lemonade and a gyro that contained only a teaspoon of chewy meat. I will definitely not be returning.
