Horrible Greek food - Chicken on Greek Salad was all greasy and Grisle- disgusting. The Salad looked old and there was almost no Feta Cheese, just a sprinkle. Rip off - don't waste your money or time going to Nick The Greek.
I just got dinner from here. Maybe they had an off night but the food was terrible, my gyro was full of sauce, the Pita is old and burnt and I don't recommend this place.

Hello We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we understand your disappointment with the gyro, pita, and overall quality of the meal you received. We take feedback seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to make things right. We will reach out directly to learn more about your visit and address your concerns. Thank you
This place has gone down hill. They're slow as molasses getting orders out of the kitchen. No manager on duty ever (staff thrown to the sharks). They've tweaked their recipes lately and the changes break bad. For example, the Prasini Salad used to be craveable and was simplified and made 'meh'. Portions have also shrunk (or the kitchen isn't trained to a standard). I've struck out here my last three times... so I'm sadly 'done.' RIP Nick The Greek at Bison Ave. :(

I ordered a chicken gyro plate, but I received chicken jerky instead. The meat was dry and tough, and if I could, I would give no stars. Never again.
I just had a really disappointing experience at Nick the Greek. I ordered a beef gyro that was advertised as coming with fries, tomatoes, and onions. Honestly, I should've known something was off when I walked in on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30 pm and the grill was already turned off and the place was empty. The gyro I received was cold and awful. The fries were barely there, maybe four tiny, old, wrinkled pieces and the sandwich itself had very little meat. For nearly $14 for a small gyro, this was unacceptable. It didn... read more
Had lunch here today. Got the gyro plate with Pork belly. Not one of the better pork bellies I've had. Meal was just average all the way around. Salad was just lettuce, a cherry tomato and a sprinkle of feta. They have Pepsi brand drinks and no iced tea. My last time coming here.
Disappointed Again! This was my second visit to this restaurant. I gave it another shot after trying it when they first opened, hoping things might have improved. Unfortunately, they haven't. I ordered the gyro plate, and the quality was disappointing across the board. The salad had brown, wilted spots--definitely not fresh. The rice was undercooked and oddly seasoned, and the gyro meat just didn't taste right. Something was off. There are too many other spots nearby that do this type of food far better--like The Kebab Shop... read more

Chicken Greek salad was gross and threw it away . Waste of my money and time. Better Greek restaurants around.
Business response:
Hello Sara We’re really sorry to hear that the chicken Greek salad didn’t meet your expectations. That’s absolutely not the experience we want anyone to have with us. We appreciate you giving us a try, and we’re disappointed we let you down. We’re taking your feedback seriously and will be reviewing how we prepare and serve our salads to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We will contact you personally to get more information on this. Thank you again for your feedback. We’re committed to doing better.
I'm giving this place a 2.5 out of 5 only because the food was pretty good. The service was bad. I've never been to this place and only knew I was eating there about 10 min prior to arriving, so it's safe to say I didn't know the menu at all. The guy at the register appeared annoyed with my husband's lack of choosing " protein" quickly enough and asked him "protein"??? Three times impatiently. No one was behind us. I felt rushed. The next issue was the wait, it seemed odd when other customers got their food before we did and... read more
