This place is OK. Decent prices, fast service, food is pretty good for Santa Barbara considering the limited selection of eclectic food in SB. It's basically a Subway Sandwich version of Greek food. But it was satisfying. Nothing to write home about.

First time trying Nick the Greek at the new Santa Barbara location! Food was pretty good, the beef/lamb is thinly sliced and good amount of sauce to food ratio. The fries are crispy and thin, Nick's way is the way to go. The atmosphere was nice, very spacious and clean. The staff was super friendly and service was fast! Expect a good amount of food for the price and excited to try more items.

Came during their launch day and process was super smooth. They even handed out greek froyo to people waiting in line. Food was really good and good sized portions for the pricing

I went for the grand opening. The restaurant is in a great spot, it was clean and the food was simple but really good. I had a beef lamb gyro bowl and nicks fries and it was awesome. Glad Santa Barbara has more of these quicker street foods now!

I've had gyros from all over town and beyond. This is just not my jam. Gyro meat was not well cooked. Tzatziki sauce does not taste right at all. There's no cucumber flavor and the spice they put in it is so overpowering. I will never get anything from here again.

I love Greek Food. I have ordered multiple times from Nick and when the food is fresh and cooked properly- it is awesome. The problem with "Nick the Greek" is they are inconsistent. They don't seem to have quality control. I never know if I'm going to get a chicken pita with freshly cooked chicken and plump warm fries, or if I'm going to get fries that are overcooked, shriveled up and cold. At times I get thin pieces of overcooked and dry chicken that is so hard I feel like I'll lose a tooth by eating it. Sometimes the s... read more

Nick the Greek is a fast growing chain that started in California. The food looked great, but my main issue is quality control. Both the pork souvlaki and chicken souvlaki were dry, one skewer of chicken souvlaki was bitter and burnt and should have being tossed instead of serving to customers. The gyro meat was more juicy and tasted better than the souvlaki. Fries were also dry and tasted like it was fried a while ago and kept under the heat lamp for too long. I definitely recommend the rice over the fries in a platter and ... read more

The service- We had gone to the restaurant opening, and had been really impressed with the food and service. Fast forward a few months, we went in on weekday afternoon recently, and only one table was full. We walked up to the counter to a young man just standing there, and he didn't say anything (Bryan). So, I said "Hi!". He continued to stare at me. "Can I order with you?" I asked. "Uh, okay" he whispered. We placed our to-go order after asking him to repeat several things because he was so soft spoken. After I paid, with... read more
