This was our first time at Nick The Greek and it was a great first experience. The ambiance was great as staff was friendly, music was playing in the background, and restaurant was pretty full of chatting customers. The staff was helpful and friendly - even recommended a few options as it was our first time. The food itself was great! We had plates of the beef/lamb gyros and an order of Nicks Fries. If I were to change anything, I'd order another sauce on the side for the fries. Would come back.
Great food, excellent service. Smallish exterior patio on sidewalk facing State St. with usual street noise.
this is a good spot to go to if you're looking for something quick. I ordered their kid's plate with beef gyro and while it was delicious, I found it to be on the salty side. the service was excellent and our food came out really quickly.
I ordered the beef gyro and was disappointed in what I received. The flavor was lacking, and the 5 fries in my gyro were cold and unseasoned. My friend ordered the Greek fries which were fresh and seasoned so I wonder what went wrong with my order.
Here's the deal. As a Greek who grew up in the US, and who has eaten INNUMERABLE souvlak/gyros throughout the years around Athens and elsewhere in Greece. There is no true Greek gyros pita commercially available in the US. Gyros is not compressed ground meat, it is slabs of slow roasted whole meat.

Their souvlaki is the closest ... read more
Service was awesome the young man up front was super nice and the food came out quick and tasted great! This gets a huge thumbs up from me.
I'm between a 3 and a 4 on this spot as they have good days and bad. Sometimes the flavoring is right on point and other times I feel all I am eating is salty onions. Other times the meat is made to perfection and then there are times it is grease ridden. The servings are pretty decent as the bowl has some delicious rice and a protein of choice. I recommend the lamb beef combo. The gyros are a perfect size of snack but again the inconsistency goes to the pita (soft sometimes hard other times). They have baklava which is on p... read more
It was good, I tried chicken wrap and enjoyed it. It looked clean, service was good. Overall I recommend. That part of State street is closed to traffic so you need to park somewhere close and walk.
Today, was my first time trying their food! Absolutely enjoyed my dish! Plenty of flavor in each bite. Good portion size.
