Customer service was great. Were kind, quick and accurate. Ordered and paid at the counter, sat down, and the food was brought to our table. Got the pork souvlaki plate which came with two skewers of pork, rice, picked onions, tomatoes, seasoned pita bread, sauce on the side, a lemon, and a salad on the side (had cheese fyi). Was delicious! Portion size was okay for the price.
I ordered the lamb/beef gyro and a side of fries after getting a wildly disappointing gyro at My Greek Kitchen the night before. This was massively better! The pita tasted fresh and soft, the meat was plentiful but still very tender and flavorful, the herbs on the fries were delightful, and the tzatziki was tangy. It's not the absolute best gyro I have had but it's still up there and satisfied my craving.
Tried Nick the Greek for the first time tonight. Gyro meat was some of the best I have had with takeout Greek food. The pita got pretty soggy from the moisture inside the Togo box but luckily I was able to rectify that with a little time in the toaster. We are lucky to live near some great Greek restaurants and Nick is a little out of the way, but we may come back again if we are close by. The one negative that we experienced is that if you order ahead, apparently it doesn't get started until you arrive. So I arrived five mi... read more
Not the best but not the worst. Got the chicken gyro wrap. Chicken was way too salty, and I like salty food. Fries were great but I won't get the chicken again.

I had the pork belly gyro sandwich with fries. The meal was in a box inside a plastic bag so it looked nice. The fries were fresh cut with skin on and an herb and salt seasoning. The gyro sandwich had tzatziki fries inside and some sort of red seasoning. Everything was visually appealing but catered towards an American pallate. I was hoping for a lighter and more European style which emphasized fresh ingredients. Everything was fresher than average but rich and probably over seasoned making the meal feel a little on the heav... read more

Food was just ok. The meat was overcooked and dry. Super small portions compared to other places especially for the sauce. Salad was good and the service was pleasant although I was surprised they weren't playing lilting Greek music inside... there is no ambience here to speak of unless you eat outside in the pleasant patio or if you call sullen cooks talking to each other ambience. This is a quick grab for lunch type place there are better options for dinner.

Devoured it 3 times in a row! Good portions for the price, comforting, fresh food with decent to amazing flavors. Here's why: What we ordered - Greek fries ($8-9) * Zesty, feta, onion flavors super super good and huge portion for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. Fries are somewhat soggy but otherwise a great texture and super delicious Souvlaki plate ($16.50) * Rice or fries, salad, meat, seasoned pita, and tzatziki sauce. I prefer rice with my order so that's what I'll review -- the rice is perfectly coo... read more
