Food and service are exceptional.

My experience: Initial walk in: Greeted by a pleasant individual(Not Kiosks!) a real person. He was very chipper and smiling, which is a plus. He took my order and answered all of my questions.

Appearance/Cleanliness: Upon checking the restaurant for organization and cleanliness and I was super impressed. The floors were well swept, tables were wiped off and clean. Even the bathroom was checked that day! See my photos where the bathroom logs were updated. Music in the restaurant was authentic and everyone, including the chef's were on it once I placed my order.

The food: (Beef and lamb Gyro) Great, verrrry close to authentic. It needed a bit more taste, but in my eyes my taste rating was 9.9 out of 10. The meat was enjoyable, fresh lettuce, tomato, calamada olives, fresh tomatoes, fresh red onions, wonderful fresh yogurt sauce! The bread wrap was amazing as well, freshly cooked and very satisfying.

Overall: The service was exceptional, food was exceptional. Cleanliness was exceptional.

The only caveat to this entire experience was the price, however, prices across the board are high for anything these days. I am hopeful prices for food will go down and need to go down. More customers will be in enjoying if the prices drop, believe me.

I hope you enjoy Nick The Greek, you will be pleasantly satisfied.

Today was my first visit, but will definitely not be my last!!! I have had a serious craving for a gyro for a while now and this hit every desire I had! So freaking good, like eyes roll in the back of your head good! I inhaled my food and usually I'm an unreasonably slow eater. NOT TODAY!

I had a beef and lamb gyro, I got no fries inside and instead opt to add lettuce and cucumber. I love how many veggies they have to add on....that's one of the biggest plus for me as I like all the veggies and meat. Oh yeah, the meat!!.....so tender and full of delicious flavor. The pita bread was soft and tender yet chewy and it held everything together so well without even coming close to falling apart. AND THEY HAVE PEPSIE!I wanted to get the greek fries but I choose not to since I had it delivered. So I can't imagine how much better everything will be when I dine in and will also try a desert option.

My only "complaint" is that I would LOVE to see a spicy Taziki. The spicy yogurt is just not the same as a spicy Taziki would be. It's still good to have on the side tho.

I know for a fact I'm going to get some seriously intense cravings for Nick the Greek. My new...
