Spitz is one of my favorite late night restaurants in downtown SLC. The service is great, the staff is incredible, the environment is electric (in a relaxed way). Heads up, you order at the register, they give you a number to take to your table, and then they bring your food out to you. Free water (usually flavored with lemons, cucumbers, or even oranges) and all your utensils are found slightly to the left of the register.

Everything I've tried thus far is filled with lots of vegetables, which is good for the health-conscious. The sandwiches and wraps all come with "romaine, onion, cucumber, green pepper, tomato, tzatziki and chili sauce". I have yet to try the sandwich variant of any of their Doners, but the wraps are fantastic.

Pro-Tip: Be careful when you first bite into the wrap. In order to keep everything intact, there is a small lip area in which the paper is folded into the wrap. To keep yourself from eating more fiber than you need to, pull that bit of paper away.

Their Street Cart Fries are incredible. The fries are delectable and all the vegetables make it much less guilt-inducing than the typical serving of fries. You'll find "garlic aioli, feta, onion, green pepper, tomato, olives, pepperoncinis and chili sauce" on your order of fries and can add "The Works", which includes a choice of meat and additional "zesty feta" (how it differs from the existing feta, I have no idea, but I'll take their word for it). This is great to share with friends. 

My latest (and new favorite) order was their Doquitos. 1 for $4.50 or 2 for $7.50. I asked the cashier about which meats to choose and she advised "one chicken, one lamb/beef". Wonderful recommendation. The meat was tender, flavorful, and absolutely not dry at all. The vegetables were really fresh. Crispy is hard to beat. I usually don't order the same thing twice at a restaurant, but this will be on my very short list of exceptions.

A very distinctive and fun addition they've made to each table is the stack of cards found in small glasses. Each of them hold a card game or trivia of some sort. So while you're waiting for your food (or resting off a little food coma), you have the tools for a mini game night.

Spitz is a wonderful place to hang out with friends; chat; play a game or two; and enjoy great, Mediterranean Street Food.
