Not great, not great at all. The chicken on my salad was dry and flavorless. Fries are just wet and sadddd.

Had my first visit last night. I was really let down with the lost potential. Most falafel places have good fries because the fryer is on blast, so it seemed that the Nick's Fries would be a natural. What's not to like; fries, garlic, feta, gyro meat? I mean, yum, right? First off, the portion of fries is really generous. Generous enough to share and I'll bet that when the fries are good they are screamin good. Wow, big portions of fries. BUT these fries were soft, greasy and undercooked. They were actually limp and pale. ... read more

Nick the Greek has continued to go downhill the longer it has been in business on Pacific Ave in Santa Cruz. Tonight the guy at the register was texting on his phone for several minutes as we stood there waiting for him to take our order. Next, the order was wrong and we didn't receive the side salad that comes with the Gyro plate. The food was also super greasy like they forgot to drain the fries or something, and there was a pool of oil in the bottom of the takeout box. (See pic) Finally, there was a hair in our French... read more

Was excited about the Greek salad that's the second spot in Santa Cruz to disappoint. Chicken was dark and white meat but mostly dark meat and chicken skins floating around in my salad. Not a great experience.

The first time we had it it was great, but the second time something changed. I will say we did take out the second time but we only live 10 mins away (we ordered there and took it home). We ordered the same thing, beef/lamb gyros, but everything on the gyros was cold and it had way too much sauce. We were just disappoint with the quality of the food.

Nick the Greek is ok food, it's not great but highly overpriced. During my last visit the staff basically lied about what I was ordering, I got a Gyro Plate expecting a Gyro with extra stuff but was surprised to see the individual ingredients separated and basically slapped on a plate with a side salad. I even asked them if there was any difference between the plate and the Gyro on the menu but was assured that there really wasn't minus the added extras. The meat was good, sauce, and the vegetables were edible, making this ... read more

Great location, friendly service and average food. My chicken gyro tasted more like pieces of grilled chicken stuffed between random salad, French fries and sauce that tasted like a lot of mayo. Their falafel that I ordered as a side was really good though. I think the place can improve to provide more authentic tasting gyro.

Two stars, would be 1 star but service and staff were good, and the food was served promptly. 1. It was overwhelmingly (disgustingly) seasoned with garlic 2. Stone cold 3. Unforgivably soggy We were both hangry and still threw it away after 2 bites. I wouldn't feed this to my cat. The fact that this place is open and Falafel house on Walnut street closed. Shame on you Santa Cruz residents.

We decided to try this place through Door Dash. Literally cannot believe there are positive reviews. I ordered a Chicken Souvlaki plate and the pita was so dry and old it was a joke, fries limp and stale and chicken dry and tasted like it was cooked last week. We also ordered the dessert donuts and they also tasted very old. So unimpressed will never return.
