Nick The Greek — Restaurant in San Mateo

You want simple ingredients, Mediterranean inspired flavors, and a quick bite to eat? Nick the Greek has you covered.

The chain seems to be popping all over the place and there is an appreciating for the consistency across all the branches. Service is usually speedy and gets the job done.This specific location isn't the biggest so don't expect strong ambiance.

The food uses simple ingredients and delivers on good flavors. Whether you are grabbing a plate, a gyro or a salad, you'll be met with the same level of quality ingredients and Mediterranean style flavors. If you are looking for authentic Greek food, this may not necessarily be the spot for you, but if you are looking for a quick and healthy meal, it will do the job. Nick the Greek is about as authentic Greek food as Chipotle is Mexican. Value wise, it's not necessarily the best.

You have plenty of meat and alternative options between the beef and lamb, chicken, pork, falafel, veggie, etc. You then decide on your choice of delivery system - on the go with a wrap, as a plate for a more traditional meal, or as a salad for a more veggie forward option. They even have bowls.

Sides include classics like fries. You can upgrade them to the Greek fries with feta, or step it all the way up to the Nick fries with meat, feta, yogurt, sauces and more. They also have falafel, pitas, and hummus.

Don't sleep on their desserts either - the baklava and yogurt aren't bad.

Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite to eat that's mostly simple and healthy ingredients with some protein, Nick the Greek can...

A nice addition to Foster City. Yum!! I have eaten here 3 times already. Fresh and flavorful. Today I asked for dressing on the side and it was stated on my receipt that way but once home I found my salad smothered in their dressing. I called and no problem at all. They manager offer a new salad or refund . My refund showed on my card by the time the call was finished. Mistakes do happen and this was impressive customer...

Excellent service, but the lamb was way too dry…

Nick the Greek has a lot to offer on their menu, no wonder why people are coming here frequently, a very popular place to eat in or to take out. Unfortunately this time the lamb 🐑 was a little bit too dry, other than that the salad & the pita bread and all the other ingredients were completely fine. I will definitely gonna come back again to try...
