Occupying the former Crushed brunch space at 967 Garnet Ave in the 92109, Spitz Mediterranean Street Food marks the brand's return to San Diego after its Hillcrest location closed. Co-founders Bryce Rademan and Robert Wicklund launched the original Spitz in Los Angeles in 2005 after discovering döner kebabs while studying abroad in Spain, and the chain has since grown to more than 20 locations across the United States. This PB franchise is operated by Chris Law, Aian Brennan-Law, Shealin Brennan-Law, and Christopher Burnthon. The menu centers on spit-roasted döner wraps and bowls built with halal-certified beef and lamb, chicken, or falafel, layered with garlic aioli, crispy lavash chips, fresh vegetables, and house-made tzatziki. Fellow Mediterranean-food lovers on Garnet can also enjoy Arslan's Gyros, a neighborhood staple for late-night gyro wraps. Fan-favorite sides at Spitz include Berliner Fries, Street Cart Fries, and Döquitos — crispy Mediterranean-style taquitos. Vegan, gluten-free, keto, and paleo options fill dedicated sections of the menu, and a rotating tap list highlights San Diego craft beers alongside sangria, hard seltzer, and kombucha. The restaurant holds an exceptional 4.9-star Google rating from 144 reviews, with diners praising generous portion sizes, a dog-friendly patio, and the board-game collection that keeps families entertained during weekend visits. Guests looking for a slower-paced evening after a Garnet Avenue dinner can settle into Cafe Athena, a Mediterranean restaurant nearby with an intimate courtyard setting. Spitz is open seven days a week, staying open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
