I had high hopes for Nick the Greek, but it really missed the mark. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor, and the pita tasted old. The tzatziki didn't taste fresh, and the portion size was pretty small for the price. On top of that, the staff seemed uninterested and service was slow, even though it wasn't busy. Definitely not worth the hype -- I won't be back.

I was really excited to try Nick the Greek. I ordered the gyro with beef/lamb, Prasini salad, fries and froyo. The gyro was average, the 9.00 Prasini salad was such a tiny portion and did not look anything like the photo- it was absolutely ridiculous how small the amount was. The fries were soggy, cold and limp. Froyo was pretty tasty with the honey and small amount of baklava crumbled in- which I ate on another night. Very expensive for what you get. I ended up throwing the fries away after eating one bite. The salad ... read more

My family loves Mediterranean food, so we had high hopes, but unfortunately, this place was a disappointment. Starting with the positives: I had the beef/lamb gyro. While I requested no onions, they still came with the order, so I had to pick them out. The flavor was okay, but the gyro was soggy and lacked the freshness I expected. My wife ordered the steak bowl and felt the seasoning on the meat was off, leaving an overpowering garlic aftertaste. Now for the bad: My son's chicken skewer kids' meal was inedible. The chic... read more

I had a really disappointing experience with Nick the Greek. Their website is incredibly hard to use for online ordering--it's not user-friendly and can accidentally duplicate your order. That's exactly what happened to me, resulting in a $100+ charge. I tried reaching out for help, but calling the restaurant didn't help either--they said they couldn't fix the issue and offered no real solution. It's frustrating that there's no reliable way to resolve problems caused by their own system. I'd recommend avoiding online orderin... read more

Because of the hype I tried Nick the Greeks food. Disappointed. It just wasn't that good. I guess I'm not happy with Greek fast food.

I ordered the Greek Gyro plate with Chicken. The chicken was like little crumbs that had been leftover scraps. It was salty, greasy, and very processed. The "salad" contained only red onions with a few small pieces of tomato and there wasn't any dressing. The pita bread was cold and dry. The only item I enjoyed were the fries. If I hadn't taken the food to go I would have sent it back to give them another try.

We came at 5;10 pm. At the counter I was told. "Just a minute please." While I waited about 7-8 minutes, the counter person made 4 sundaes & was unsure who ordered them. Ordered & sat with my husband. 20 minutes meal came. Oops, mistake on order. Took my receipt to counter & showed a young man who was busy bagging to go orders. Handed me a box with the fries that were omitted. When I sat down & opened the box, oops again! I was too tired & hungry to go back. The fries were limp & tasteless. The gyro was passable. ... read more
