This review is based upon 6-7 visits to this San Carlos location. All these visits are during Covid 19. We have been to other Nick the Greek locations so we are familiar with the menu and food. We really like this San Carlos location. The quality of food and service is great. If you enjoy Greek food then you need to try Nick the Greek. We look forward when Covid is over and we can enjoy it some more. I will also note during Covid the workers displayed precautions like wearing masks and wiping down tables after every use.
We keep coming back for take-out lunches because the granddaughters love Nick's. I think the food is fine but nothing special, and definitely a little overpriced. Some of the staff is more friendly than others, and they always seem to have trouble keeping up with the large crowd picking up take-out orders. (Interesting to see that the reviews tend to focus on this being a favorite restaurant of little kids--not so much for grown-ups.)
I love going to Nick the Greek! It's fast, easy, delicious and the service is always so kind and welcoming. Thanks Jack
Overall, the food is okay. We ordered with door dash and didn't receive the plain fries included in the order. But just to be clear this is nowhere near authentic Greek food!! The chicken in the chicken gyro was cooked with oil, salt and pepper only and was dry and flavorless - not what is expected for a gyro! The feta green onion fries were good. The salad with added falafels was good but super soggy.
Food decent. Price decent. Take out easy. They always forget the sauce! This is why I give them a three. Our last meal was super dry - probably not going back soon.
Everytime I go here the food is just "okay". The portions are way too small for the price and the beef/lamb gyros are mainly just thick pita and french fries with a scant amount of veggies. The flavor is definitely there though and the meat itself is really tasty. I'd only come here again if I wasn't super hungry and I was willing to spend $10 on a small pita sandwich. The only thing that's a total rip off are the plates. The service is always really great though & food comes out fast. A good place overall but I think I ha... read more
Ordered a steak pita for my son. It came with the skewer still in the meat hidden in the pita (1 star kitchen). When I told the front, they responded like this is typical, "Oh it's just the skewer (1 star service)." After she saw me taking a picture of the skewer, she went to talk to the kitchen. Then she came up and apologized and told me the kitchen said they could remake it or give me a refund (4 stars response after the fact), but at this point my son ate half of it and I already have my mind made up to give a negative... read more
Food is always good. Unfortunately I got the salad bowl my bowl had barely any meat or salad.
I was so excited to try the frozen yogurt drizzled with golden honey and topped with crispy baklava. The ice cream machine ended up being broken and apparently this happens often according to the employee. I told her that this isn't ok and matters like this shouldn't be normalized.
