It was a busy night after a Padres game and we decided to try this place out. We were first greeted by the owner and he offered us a "$5 beer to ease the pain" of a Padres loss and it did ease the pain It was our first time there and we weren't sure what to get. Eventually, I chose the chicken bowl with tzatziki and my husband got a burger recommended by the owner. I was really surprised about the size/ amount of food we got for the price. The rice and everything in the bowl was really good and my husband really enjoyed the... read more

Greek food? In San Diego? Next to a baseball stadium? Why not. Nick the Greek is exactly what you expect from a tiny chain lookin spot in the downtown area AND the prices compliment it by making it competitive to a lot of its neighbors. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat and are decently hungry, Nicks offers a great portion size for the price. Coupled with fresh veggies and tasty meats, it's worth a visit. Now if you're coming off a fresh visit from the Mediterranean and are looking for an exact copy.... This isn't th... read more

A great spot to check out before a Padres game if you want to grab food to go or eat there before the game. They've also got two screens inside if you just want to watch the game there as well. I got the gyro salad which I was happy they had greens as an option, but I'd suggest that you ask for the dressing on the side because my salad was drenched with too much balsamic.

Always a good pre-game stop before a Padre game. The beers are $5 and gyro meat Devine.

Nick the Greek's is now my staple on weekends when I just need a hearty meal that's budget friendly & delicious. Their bowl sizes are a good size & it is enough for one hungry person! Tip: They offer 10% discount if you wear padres gear! Just mention it at the counter since they may forget to automatically add it in. Vegetarian options - falafels!

The food was good expected a bit more out of it. Lamb was a bit too over salted for my taste and rice a little dry. Their lemon soup is delicious I would recommend that. Maybe next time I'll try their chicken and it will be a different better experience.

Another winning Nick order. I had not eaten here in almost a year. Every once in a while I fire up Door Dash, and I remembered having a great experience here before. The seasoning was on point. Everything I tasted was soooo good. The falafel was a little stale, but flavored really well. I tried their burger, ahmazing! Nick fries were bomb diggity! Greek Salad was yummers. Lots of types of gyros available. I mean almost a year later, this place still rocking it and jamming out consistently great food. Happy customer her... read more

Amazing portions. small complaint that there was not enough garlic sauce along with the food. The meat was tender, the food was plentiful, and the rice was flavorful. Reasonable prices. Would highly recommend.
