Louis Meat Market

The nine of us very hungry Food Appreciation Team members (FAT) stampeded into the Louis Meat Market. The owner warms your heart. She is kind, generous, and somehow managed to run the place on her own the night we visited. She even gave us a plate of free Greek fries to share. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Louis Meat’s Greek Fries, it is freshly fried chips topped with feta cheese. Highly addictive! Not good for weight management related new year resolutions.
My partner in crime and I shared a chicken souvlaki wrap ($ 4.75), complete with yogurt sauce, grilled chicken souvlaki, lettuces and tomato. Massive portion! I struggled to finish my ½ of the wrap. The chicken unfortunately was slightly dry. Our friends enjoyed their gyros thoroughly. Most says they will visit again!
Great value, friendly environment, full belly, warm soul — good times!

Delicious. This is my kind of place; laid back, not overpriced and full of flavour.
Very friendly staff and I will gladly go back.

Don’t be discouraged by its hole-​in-​the-​wall appearance. We had the pork gyros on a pita and they were fantastic. There were a few fatty chunks throughout the gyros, however, they were easy to eat around and trust me, the portion is HUGE so even with picking you will struggle to finish your gyros!
Price was great — less than $ 6 for the magnificent monstrosity.

I’m not a huge fan of gyros, however I was in the neighbourhood and heard good things about this place. It didn’t disappoint! I ordered the gyro dinner, and was pleasantly surprised at the HUGE serving, and reasonable price. The lady who served me was a hoot, and the food was efficiently prepared. I would definitely return to this place if looking for an inexpensive take-​out meal. The food was delicious!

Pita burnt, fatty meat, interior dirty, cook very pushy.
Stomach hurts… Would not return

These are the kind of food finds I live for… the small, unassuming, unattractive looking hole in the wall type of place, I cannot claim I found this on my own, my Greek friend gave me the insider scoop.
You go inside this place and by sight you may initially want to leave, but stop… smell… stare at the large spinning log of pork cooking in the open kitchen area at the front. Then do yourself a favor, order a pork gyro.
Yes the lady working there seems slightly crazy, but know what else is crazy, that pork gyro you are about to eat. One bite into this thing and if my review brought you to this place your mind will literally say…“thank you Adam W“
I’m not even giving you more detailed information, you need to do this for your own good, then thank me later…
Ps. You’re welcome

The gyros are delicious and the staffs character adds quality flavor to every bite of the succulent juicy pork and chicken that lies within the flourly love blanket that is the pita.

You can read all the other reviews and know that the owner is great, friendly and cares about you. I agree entirely, all her customers are very comfortable and enjoy their time here. She even gets cool drinks left for her by people passing by. 40 years I think it was?
The food was good. The souvlaki is juicy and great, as well as the tzatziki sauce but what is especially great was the price — $ 10.50 compared to the usual $ 13-​$ 15 charged at other restaurants. What’s the catch? Well it’s a really small place and it might take you a while depending on how many people are in line ahead of you (it’s a one-​person show!).
The potato and rice ended up swimming and the rice ended up mushy. The take-​out container had no divisions, so the sauce the potatoes were in ended up coating the salad as well. Lots of feta cheese on the salad though, gotta love that!
Next time I come, I’d like to try gyros (with double meat). I watched enviously as other customers ordered it, sometimes two, sometimes with double meat and they all definitely looked good. I can’t wait!

Ordered a gyros dinner with double meat and a large order of Greek fries. They actually offered to replace the rice and potatoes that come with the dinner with the Greek fries to save me money. It was a great idea and very much appreciated as I didn’t really need all that food. I had to order the Greek fries as so many people on Unilocal said how tasty they were which is absolutely true! The Greek fries are actually more like homemade potato chips than fries which makes them even better. food is delicious and great value. I already knew the lady at the counter’s name was Mary as she was mentioned by a number of other reviewers. She is very friendly, helpful, has a lot of character and is entertaining while you wait for your food. she suggested I have a seat while I waited and I explained that she was too entertaining to sit down.

This place was very sketchy from it’s looks. But as they say never judge a book by it’s cover. This is the most authentic tasting gyro restaurant I’ve been to. It reminded me of being back home in Greece. Portion size, flavour, preparation, it had it all. Highly highly recommended!

Great Great Great Gyro in a little hole in the wall kinda place, right next to another even more famous Gyro place (Messini). Well Louis is just as good and even more authentic. You get a huge amount of fries in the Gyro and they do a great cut of both Beef and Lamb. The Greek fries were also great and served as thin fried chips rather than traditional fries. Yum Yum Yum.
The best part was my buddies who dragged me there had already had their dinner there and one was hungry enough to eat yet another massive Gyro when we returned. !

Was on the Danforth area for dinner and my husband wanted a gyro so I told him to try Messini but we ended up here and was pleased to find this place. The lady who I think was the owner was joking with us. Nice service, maybe because there wasn’t a lot of people to be served at the time as she was all alone working the open kitchen. Might be a different story if we went there at a busier time. Regardless, this place is a keeper. Cheap yet tasty!

Never had their gyros here but we come here often to buy the souvlaki for BBQs. Both the pork and the chicken are amazing! 2.50 per skewer and there is a LOT of meat on every skewer. Buy 11 get 1 free! I also LOVE their tzatziki!

If you want a quality Gyros straight from Greece with the fries included, this is the place.
$ 4.75 for Pork/​chicken/​beef and lamb gyros!
This is a take out joint. I will go back.

One of my favourite gyro spots. I usually get the lamb gyro. Will try a couple meat sticks next time. Although they are right beside Messini’s I alternate between the two. Really nice staff.

Tasty gyro. Cheep and cheerful.
Messini’s is right next door. 2x we didn’t get a table at Messini’s because they were packed. Decided to give this place a try even though they weren’t busy at all and the place looked like a dive.
I was surprised by the food. Decent quality and huge portion. My chicken was a little dry but it was the end of the day so maybe it wasn’t necessarily the best time to go. It was still tasty and for $ 5 you can’t really go wrong. Portion was huge. I was quite full.
Owner was friendly enough. Not very talkative but really nice to us.
I would definitely go back if I was in the neighborhood. I would go to Messini’s for a real sit down but if you’re looking for a quick place to eat this place is just fine.

Louis’ Meat Market is yet another childhood favorite of mine. I’ve been coming here for quite some time now and my week is never really complete unless I stop by and say hi to Mary.
The place itself is not the most modern-​looking establishment on the Danforth, but it almost gives you that comforting feeling of a mom-​and-​pop shop. Everything is here is pretty cheap and very fresh. I usually come by to pick up a dozen sticks of the chicken souvlaki. They’re very tender and so flavorful. I take them home and grill them since it’s good for when you have company over. If you buy a dozen, you get one free! You can also buy tzatziki there (they make amazing tzatziki), pitas, as well as lamb, pork, and beek souvlaki.
When I’m feeling a little lazy, I usually come by for dinner and just pick up a heap of greek fries. Tell Mary to make them extra crispy! It’s super yummy that way. She loves to load the feta cheese on top as well.
I love coming by and Mary is just the sweetest old lady on earth (next to my great grandma). The old man might scare you at times, but he doesn’t bite haha.

I live in the area and have been going here for quite a while. The food is generally amazing, they give huge portions and it tastes delicious. The only reason I didn’t give them five stars is because every once and awhile I’ve had bad luck where the meat has tasted off (only happened once and I didn’t get food poisoning or anything). Also it is incredibly creasy, sometimes too much so. Get the beef and lamb, it’s the best!

Made the mistake of going to this place thinking it *might* be anywhere near as good as Messini, and was horribly wrong. Got a pork gyro and the meat was under cooked, and barely seasoned. The tzatziki tasted like yogurt with a slightly garlic hint. Bottom line: don’t go here for a gyro, especially when Messini is literally right next door!

One of my favourite finds in Toronto! Not fancy at all, even feels a little old school, but the food is damn good.
Pros:
Good food — the gyros, chicken souvlaki, tzatziki, and especially the Greek Fries
Great prices — you leave feeling full for an awesome price
Great location on the Danforth
Cons:
If you don’t have patience when ordering, than this might not be the place for you (but I suggest having patience, because it is worth it)
The décor might deter you if you are a fancy person
If you need to use the washroom, going to the back in the tiny bathroom might freak you out
I’ve been here many times and will be back. I love the odd personality of the place and I just can’t stay away from the Greek Fries (so good!). Check it out for yourself!
