Topping the list is Bavarian Meats. Located at 1920 Pike Place (between Western Avenue and Virginia Street) in Pike Market, the meat shop is the highest-rated low-priced German restaurant in Seattle, boasting 4.5 stars out of 261 reviews on Yelp.

Yelper John P. wrote, "The pork belly and sausages are served on sticks so you can dine in or you can walk around Pike Place with them. The pork belly is cooked perfectly being soft and crispy at the same time. The sausage is moist and has a great snap."

2. The Berliner Döner Kebab

Next up is Pioneer Square's The Berliner Döner Kebab, situated at 221 First Ave. South. (between Main and Washington streets). With four stars out of 245 reviews on Yelp, the German and Turkish spot, offering sandwiches and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a cheap option. 

The eatery specializes in "rotating kebab meats, marinated chicken and leg of lamb roasts, served on locally baked Turkish-German style flatbread (fladenbrot)," it states on Yelp. There's also Greek-style pita, spinach wraps and ciabatta rolls on offer.

3. Doner Box

Belltown's Doner Box, located at 2421 Second Ave. (between Battery and State Route 99 streets), is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the spot, which specializes in German-Turkish street food, 4.5 stars out of 66 reviews. 

The menu features sandwiches, wraps, boxes and plates, as well as a lineup of German and Czech beer.

"Please note that we are not just another shawarma or gyros place down the street, it’s Döner Kebab. We believe fast food should be fresh food," the business states on Yelp.
