You know great food when you have it... and the food in this place is absolutely delicious! I've had Greek food in super high end places and I can tell you hands down, this Nick the Greek is my favorite. The meat is juicy, super tasty, the portions very generous and all the ingredients are so fresh! You really get a sense that the owners put their soul into it. Oh and the service is also exceptional! Would highly recommend.

I came here for a late night snack! I was expecting it to by like Souvla and it was quite far off. The yogurt itself was ok but I think it needed to be a lot tarter. The baklava was really disappointing. It tasted like really gummy stevia maple syrup, it was not crispy, and there were zero nuts in it. Pretty disappointed and will not be back for the frozen yogurt.

Located right in the heart of San Mateo. You order and pay at the register before getting your food. The staff was friendly and the food came out pretty fast. The lady who worked the register brought our food over to us. FOOD: Chicken gyro bowl & beef/lamb gyro plate are both really filling! The main difference between the bowl and plate is the pita bread and size of the salad. With the plate, you can choose between rice or fries. Everything tasted pretty fresh as well. It's also super clean in there too! I

Came by to visit the fam for the holidays in San Mateo. Downtown has changed a lot since we lived here years ago. Came by to Nick and love their wraps. Also bought their dinner bowl and it was fantastic. Place is big with plenty of dining area., and ambiance was very nice too, feels lively. Service was excellent and pretty quick. Metered parking available at front or at the public parking downtown area. Cheers!

We used to go to the location in Redwood City because that was the only one. Now? Damn if there isn't one in every city ... they seem to be exploding everywhere! This is one of my all time favs and we got a few things to go from this place close to our condo. Their veggie wrap slaps, you might not think that veggies could be so tasty but ask them for extra tzatziki in it plus the French fries they stuff in there and you're set. Their Greek fries with the feta and their version of frozen yogurt is bomb. Healthy and decadent. ... read more

Finally got around to trying this. It was nice and fresh, apart from the sauce it didn't really have a whole lot of taste, that I thought it would.

New location for the rapidly expanding Nick the Greek gyro chain. Lots of seating and very clean. Enjoyed a side order of gyro meat and a greek side salad. Hit the spot for a light but filling dinner. Nick the Greek is the best Greek fast casual chain around, better than Daphne's (still a good one) who came before them and where I frequently ate during my SoCal days.

Holy moly, inflation is insane: I came in to grab a bite on the cheap, so ordered the beef gyro wrap by itself without any sides or a drink. With tip, it came out to $16.44 which felt like a lot compared to other grab and go Greek spots. The meat was hot and fresh, and the cashier was nice. I chose to dine-in, but the nice cashier said that she forgot what I said so wrapped it in a plastic bag to go. Was going to buy a drink but the beverage fountain had a paper taped to it with "out of order." Food came out relatively qui... read more

Nice to have another option for Mediterranean food in downtown San Mateo. Tasty chicken and pita used in their gyros and souvlaki. Quick and friendly service.
