An Exceptional Dining Experience at Nick the Greek!

The food is good, the Beefteki is great. But the chicken souvlaki, is low quality chicken. And I wish they offered Coke. But we have to talk about the service. It's on a different spectrum. Very very slow. Over 30 minutes! That's not sustainable. The ambiance is okay, music is very loud for being in the suburbs. It's not LA, love the music style, but too loud. The crew and customers are all taking loudly just to communicate. You would expect the manager offer some concession for 30 minutes of waiting.

Randomly realized that this place just opened up. With that, everybody should bring their patience as this new location gets busy with a line out the door. There may be a small wait time for food that is freshly prepared. This is a welcome addition to our neighborhood. We stopped in and ordered a gyros sandwich with a side of fries and a drink. I also ordered a kids souvlaki or chicken kebab with rice. Probably took about 20 minutes to receive the food that we were initially going to take home, but we decided to eat in the r... read more

Came in on day two of them being open and they were running like it's been forever. Service was quick and the food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. It was delicious! I had to fight my kids to eat some, because they quickly wanted my lunch.

I ordered the chicken souvlaki plate to go and picked it up when it was said to be ready. The chicken was cold and a couple of pieces on the skewer were full of gristle. The Greek salad had hardly any olives or feta and was basically tasteless. This restaurant was excellent when it first opened, but it is gone seriously downhill and it certainly wasn't worth the $20 that I had to spend. Needless to say, I will never be coming to this restaurant again.
