Straight up nothing fancy about this place but who needs that anyways. I want good food. I've walked by many times especially in the summer time and it smelled so good. Finally, one day I tried it.
Boom. Its good. Its tasty. Its a good price. I'm referring to the Gyros of course. Heck just writing this makes me want to go back to eat more. You guys should try it for yourselves
Later folks. -

This place has me coming back every time I'm up on the Danforth and looking for a cheap and delicious meal. On occasion I have even found myself taking the subway up here just for the gyro! I love how cheap this place is, and I love how great the food is here.
This is such a tiny little place, that doesn't look like much from the outside, and once inside you know you're not at a fine dining restaurant, but I think they put more effort into their food than they do into the upkeep of their restaurant, and I'm okay with that. There are so many places to grab a gyro on this strip, including a much fancier (and a bit more expensive) place next door, but this one is by and far your better option.
The people here are very nice and pleasant to deal with. They serve beer, which comes as a bit of a surprise, based on the type of place it is. I will continue to go back to this place over and over because I have never been disappointed!Listed in: Cheap Eats

I love this kind of place, no frills, all business. But I was a bit disappointed. If there was no lettuce and more tzatziki on the fully dressed gyro, it would be right on the mark....but as is, it's not the best on the block.

If only the hungry hordes cramming into Messini next-door would stop and give the lil' guy a shot. They would not be disappointed.
I have tried both, back-to-back, and Louis is the undeniable winner here. Funny enough, as I was doing this with my partner, a young couple with baby had done the same, and also agreed that Louis knocked the socks off his bigtime next-door neighbour. Not only is this place the real deal - take one look at the guy making your gyro and you can tell this is his god-given craft - but everything from the light fluffy pita, to the juicy meats, to the crisp dressings, and that certain 'je ne sais quoi' (but in Greek), all for incredible value.
Pick one up to go and eat it in the nearby square, and by Zeus, you're as good as gold. -

My co-worker is Greek and lives in the Danforth, I asked for her favorite gyro spot and she said Louise Meat Market is the place to eat. I couldn't agree more! Good food, good size portions and reasonable price. I had the gyro combo with lamb, my husband had the chicken we ate every last bite. I'll definitely be back and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants some excellent Greek food and isn't preoccupied with ambiance.

This place has the best and the cheapest Greek food you will ever have, no contest.
The portions are MASSIVE compared to messini and Alexandros as well as cheaper, I can't remember exactly but gyros are between $4-$5 depending on the meat you choose (my favorite and personal recommendation is pork) and the Greek salad as well as Greek fries are $4 or less. The Gyros are huge and the meat is fresh, not that sausage blend gyro crap that some places serve, this is fresh, real meat on a spit that you can see rotating behind the counter. The gyros are stuffed with massive amounts of meat, onion, lettuce and even french fries. Its warm and everything and delicious beyond description.
The greek fries are similar in size and in quality.
I have been to Alexandros and messini and they don't even come close to the food at Louis meat market, by far the best gyros on the danforth.
Edit: I was in here, stayed after closing time to watch the president's address live right after they shot Bin laden. History happens here. -

This place is a little sketchy-looking but they make a mean gyro and for good value ($5).
