I'll give it to the business, or at least the gentleman who seemed to be in charge, for he came off hospitable. However as we all know time is money. I ordered 2 gyro plates and 1 side of fry. Total wait time 25 minutes and 3 customers that ordered after me that got their food before me. Compensation? 1 baklava. Content? No. Satisfied? No. Tip of the hat Nick The Greek. I'll need to get a second job if I plan on returning to this establishment.

Despite the food tasting good (again, albeit expensive), these folks cannot get an order right to save their lives. I get it if you don't charge for extra tzatziki and then you forget to add it. But if someone asks for it, and you charge them $0.50 for it, how hard is it to add it? If this happened once, fine. But now it's been multiple occasions and it's super annoying.

First time, last time. The Gyro is NEVER EVER supported to be finished on the grill, period! It is to be sliced directly off the roaster onto the pita itself. Grilling the meat not only drys out the meat rather quickly but ALSO toughens the meat as well, no longer juicy. AND here, (at Nick the Freak) they are actually PROUD of this atrocity. Here they actually take Pride in grilling away from the textures of the Gyro by utterly destroying the Gyro in front of your very eyes and if that isn't enough they play this tragedy fo... read more

This is an honest review. The food was not good. The greek salad was flavorless. The kebab chicken wrapped with pita was stuffed to the brim with honey mustard (?). The rice in the lamb/beef gyro bowl was overcooked and the meat entirely untoasted by the rotisserie. The experience was largely soulless with its only saving grace being the great service from Emmanuel. This greek food cannot be recommended by me, however, not only because it was inauthentic (which is not such a great sin to commit) but because it was quite bad.

Terrible quality but edible. I spent 16 days in Greece in July and ate about 10 greek salads. These Vegetables have clearly been siting in the dressing. Not fresh at all! I also paid $4 to add chicken... 4 small pieces of chicken not even a skewer full! Worst $16 salad (includes a $1 tip).

Enjoy the food but disappointed at 1:18 p.m. they have no rice. They did offer fries or extra lettuce for my beef/lamb gyro bowl... but still not the same!

I felt like some Greek food and looked on Yelp and found this restaurant. We chose it due to its rating. However there was a long wait for poor food. Both our orders a lamb beef sales with pita bread and a gyro plate were disappointing. The young woman server was nice but the cost and experience outweighed this.

"Let's get delicious Greek food at Nick the Greeks!" --Nobody My fraternity's volunteer food truck made better Greek food than this, and we were NOT taking it seriously... Maybe the A team wasn't working at Nick's when I went, but I'd rather go to the kabob shop a few blocks away than give it another shot.
