Really good food and super quick service. The gyros were fresh and flavorful, and the portions were solid. Staff was friendly and the place felt clean and easy for a quick bite. Definitely a nice spot if you’re craving Greek food.

Great experience at Nick the Greek! The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Service was excellent—Jennifer at the front desk was friendly, professional, and very helpful, which made the visit even better. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chiara Fornetti · Oct 2025

Had dinner here today—solid spot for a casual Greek-meal fix. The beef/lamb gyro was generous and flavorful, the fries hit just right, and the service was friendly and fast. The counter-service format keeps things relaxed and easy. On the flip side: it’s not fine-dining—expect a simple setting and slightly greasy pita wrap. If you’re after something more upscale or super authentic, this might feel a little “fast-casual Greek”, which is fine for what it is.

Excellent lunch! Beef/Lamb Gyro Bowl. It's 80/20 beef & lamb, and super tender. Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, rice and sauce all over it. It's a great lunch that doesn't overwhelm. The front counter was friendly, and kept the tables clean. I even tried the baklava and froyo dessert. EXCELLENT! Thank you. Nice job, Nick!

★★★★★ 5.0 Carl Foisy · Jan 2023

For a quick bite, this place hits the spot. I’ve found their ‘plates’ most satisfying. It comes with a Greek salad, meat (I get beef/lamb), veggies, pita, fries and some dip. Plus they’ve got the cool Greek drinks ta-boot. Order at the counter style service, and quick prep, so if you’re in a rush and hungry, Nicks is a good choice. We’ve been to a few locations since they started opening all over, and as someone who supports local, I appreciate that the company started here and by locals….and bravo to them for expanding to such a huge network of tasty joints…..and again, the plate is where it’s at. PS…cheers to the crew in WG today. Lunch was delish!
