Had been wanting to try this place; I love Greek food so thought it would be worth a try. It was not. The beef/lamb gyros didn't have much flavor and the pita was dry. The French fries side had an industrial food quality, they aren't quite right and might be the same as Me n Ed's, Blast 825, etc. Quality not so great. If you want local mediterranean/Greek food this place ain't it.

I don't typically write reviews but apparently if I write one I get a free dessert...you can keep it. I wouldn't eat that science experiment even if you paid me. This food tasted like a piece of shit, and I'm pretty sure a piece of shit would have had more flavor. I don't know what seasoning they used, but whatever it was, they forgot to put it on my food. At this point I'm just praying i don't get food poisoning. RIP my toilet.

We've eaten here numerous times and it's always been really good. Last Friday, I got my normal chicken bowl. When I got home, it wasn't chicken. I couldn't tell what the meat was. The lettuce was quite wilted. If it had been in a salad, I wouldn't have eaten it. I assumed that its weird appearance was just from being saturated by juice from the meat.

Hadn't been to Nick the Greek in quite a while, so wanted to try them again - it was terribly disappointing. We ordered 3 Gyro bowls - meat, rice, lettuce, onion, cucumber, tomato & sauces. All the bowls were slightly modified, which they got correct, which was great. The disappointment was in the quality of the bowls; heavy on the lettuce & very lite on everything else. I asked for no rice & extra lettuce; I did get a lot of lettuce but only 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half & 3-4 slices of cucumber along with about 1 TBSP of m... read more

I really wanted to enjoy my experience at Nick the Greek, but unfortunately, it missed the mark on several levels. First and foremost, the portion sizes were disappointing--especially for the price. For what I paid, I expected a more generous serving, but instead, I left feeling like I'd just had a light snack. The flavor was also underwhelming. Mediterranean food is usually packed with bold spices and freshness, but the dishes I tried were bland and lacked the depth that makes this cuisine so enjoyable. Presentation-wise... read more

The service was good, but the food unfortunately was not, I got the falafel's salad plate and everything was very bland and tasteless.

Once Great, Now Disgraceful - Nick the Greek Has Fallen Off a Cliff I've been a loyal fan of Nick the Greek ever since the San Jose location opened nearly a decade ago. My wife and I were among the first customers--we still have the original T-shirts they gave out. Back then, the food was incredible. The chicken was carved fresh off the spit, juicy and flavorful, and the pita sandwiches were a steal at $6.99. It was one of our favorite spots. Fast forward to today: we ordered from the Santa Maria location and were met with... read more

Oh man, I would not recommend anyone to come here... The food is awful, souvlaki is supposed to be thin shredded meat. It was thick chunks of meat. The hummus was flavorless and old and thick. The fries were super soggy. The only thing that I said was OK was the Greek salad and the pita bread other than that I would not spend your money here . Absolute trash I was very disappointed because I love Mediterranean/Greek food. Will not come here again The girl at the register was very nice though

I have eaten at many Nick the Greeks over the years, and I absolutely love the food. It is dependable and my go-to when I eat out. However, I was VERY rudely spoken to when I picked up my takeout order. I walked in, and the worker did not notice me enter. His back was turned towards me, and hadn't even noticed me. I saw a closed plastic bag on the counter, with a receipt next to it with my name. I reached over the counter to reveal more of the receipt, which did have my name. At this point, the worker behind the counter beg... read more
