I've been well over a dozen times and the food is consistently fresh and delicious! Prices are quite fair and the portion sizes are certainly enough, without leaving you feeling overly stuffed. They also have a good selection of beer, cider, wine, kombucha, and sodas in the refrigerated cases, which adds a nice touch to the already tasty meal. Tradewinds is definitely a favorite of mine in town!

Nothing not to love about this cafe. One day I'll eat something that isn't a pita...maybe.

I bought Chix pita and asked for "voodoo"/ blacken seasoning to be added.On my receipt I was charged a sub voodoo chic charge of $2.50.I wasn't buying more chicken only seasoning.When I pointed it out the young man, he acknowledged that it was a problem but he didn't offer a refund.He told other patrons had the same complaint.I also ordered feta cheese. This was a .75cent upcharge.The seasoning was 3x the cost of the cheese.?!The chicken was a huge let down on top of the cost. Cold, rubbery and lacking seasoning.This was my first experience at this spot.I do not recommend!Sadly.

It's ok, prices aren't horrible and the food is much better than when it opened. The sunroom is quite loud when full of patrons.

The worker who took our order and payment then brought out our food was patient and knowledgeable about the menu. Helpful when we asked for no dairy. The salad my spouse got was delicious and filling, and my UD fries were tasty, crispy, plentiful, garlicy. I love this place! The patio got full and crowded in a way that was hard to endure. But the food is worth it.A suggestion is a few armless chairs on the patio. We always have to carry an armless chair to the patio from indoors.A gratitude is that the hibiscus mint tea is unsweetened and refreshing.

This is the locals South Eugene spot to get some quality beverages with an affordable meal. Very low key spot with friendly staff. Used to be Jiffy Market which people would laugh at me when I raved about how good it was since the name sounds like a convenient store. Dari Mart is on the other side if you want that! This a classier joint with a casual vibe.

Zero stars for a giant zero. Called 3 times got a voicemail informing me of their holiday hours? It's February 24th guys. Finally on the fourth attempt I got an obviously frazzled busy employee who asked in between panicked breaths if I could hold. You want to have compassion for people when they are stressed and trying their best but as customers of eating establishments when does this all end and come around to reality? It's already gotten too expensive to eat out very often so when you do you hope for a somewhat good experience with the product and the hospitality that generally accompanies it. The owners need to staff these places and put out good consistent products and service of they will go out of business. We see operators come and go in this town at an alarming rate for basically the same reasons. This place is popular so I really hope they have a long successful run. P.S. I'm still on hold.

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!

Delicious. We visited Eugene (from Los Angeles) recently to see a group of friends. We ended up placing a large to-go order here the first night and the food was amazing. So good in fact that many of us went back for lunch the next day. The food is made when you order, so it is exceptionally fresh and crispy. The garlic fries are phenomenal, the gyros were delicious, and even the Greek salads were extremely memorable and craveable. I wish we had a place like this in LA. I'll definitely be coming back to this spot on a return trip.

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!
Relaxed. Comfortable. Like eating in your new house or apartment. Boxes all about. But feels good to sit down and enjoy a well made, delicious gyro and french fries. A Gyro stuffed with meats, veg, and sauce. Fries came out first. Hot. Skinny little fries. Wonderful. Served with tzatziki on the side. Order at the counter. Nice guy brought out food out. We cleared our own table. A neighborhood joint. Well worth the visit and the value. Nice people in this family run business.Vegetarian options: My nephew had the 541 Gyro with falafel.Dietary restrictions: Meats, dairy, vegetables.Parking: Several businesses here. A little crowded.Kid-friendliness: I believe a child will find something good to eat here.Wheelchair accessibility: Yea.

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.

I wish that yelp allowed 1/2 starts because I'd at least give it a 4.5. We like to order from here if we are craving middle eastern casual bites. We usually order the gyros with fries. (Try the garlic or medi fries). The Medi player or Greek salad with chicken. The tzatziki sauce which comes with all of the above mentioned is delicious . They have a pretty good on tap and drink selection as well as wine bottles for sale! Great for take out, but call ahead. They are usually busy. Plenty of casual seating. Parking is easy order at the counter.

You won't be disappointed by the food here! Fun and easy, laid-back atmosphere with an indoor patio. Great wine bottle selection along with beer, cider, soda, and other sparkling beverages.
