Just overall some good Greek comfort food. Whether you get a gyro or the fries, the portions are great and good about for what you get. They have a TV there and keep the game on. Great place to relax while your Tesla is charging next to it. Happy this is here.

Very nice and clean restaurant. We went here to pick up for dinner. Lot of seating in a large well maintained restaurant. It was very clean, bright and welcoming. The staff was friendly and very efficient. We got our order really fast. Food was fresh and tasty

Ordered the Nick Fries and a main dish thinking the portions would be smaller, but they were huge! This is by no means a complaint as the food was absolutely amazing. Get the fries, get the sauces, try it all and I guarantee you'll love it. The staff was very polite and helpful, the restaurant itself was super clean and modern. 10/10, check this place out!

Yum! Love their gyro meat. The gyro bowl with beef/lamb isy favorite. My friend's chicken gyro looked delish too. I am not super fond of their hummus. Great service and restaurant is clean.

Fantastic food and a great staff! The portions are insane and I can’t stop thinking about the robust flavors. Make sure to stop in if you’re within 20 miles of this place! I HIGHLY recommend the Nick’s Fries :)

The Gyro Sandwich with Nick's Fries was absolutely amazing. The baklava is a must! The staff were full of smiles and great energy! If you haven't visited this establishment before, what are you waiting for?

This place is great! The food is always fresh and tasty. Delivers every time. The people are friendly, inviting, and welcoming (lots and Demetre). They make us feel like family. They do have beer and wine. And the frozen yoghurt is terrific especially with chocolate drizzled over it! The facilities are spotless, including the restrooms. We love this place!

The food is great, their drinks are also great. Servings are generous. The atmosphere is fresh. Parking is free and plentiful. It's a must come back place.

Nick the Greek hits the spot. Food is solid (fresh pita, tasty gyros/bowls), service is friendly, and orders come out fast. Big bonus: it’s super convenient while using Tesla supercharging.

best location. worth the 5 min detour vs going to the Foster City location. The staff here also make the Froyo better than FC where they layer the honey and baklava AND they give more.

Contactless payment is available but you still need to touch the screen. It’s time the US consider “touch-less payment” like via QR Code payment — just saying... Ordered on the spot. Waited a minute in line but it took less than 10mins for the food to arrive. Ordered the Souvlaki chicken plate, lamb/beef gyro and side of skinny fries. The gyro was good. The portions was good in fact I had to eat it by parts cause it was quite filling. Just wish the fries were crispier. Overall experience was good. We will visit again.

Nearly my favorite Nick the Greek location. They serve beer! I started to feel rushed out at 9:20 when they close at 10. At 9:20, they started vacuuming inside while we and another party were eating. At 9:45, I went to refill on pop and they had turned off the machine. Again, two tables were eating.

Good menu, great customer service. Very loud even without many patrons in the restaurant. The frozen yogurt is tart and unique, definitely don't expect your standard from yo experience, but it's uniquely delicious. Most kids probably won't like it.

Average experience at this chain restaurant offering classic Greek food dishes. Gyro bowls and salads were okay, but the bread for the sandwich was hard to eat. Fries were on the soggy side. Large parking lot makes it easy to find a spot.

I ordered a Gyro Salad and there was way too much dressing! Too close to soup. I’ve gotten the same thing there a number of times and portion of dressing was a more appropriate amount. Not this time.

Nick the Greek it’s very good place, it’s clean and the food is good. I ordered the gyro bowl and do wish they would give you more meat. They also serve beer which is nice.

The prices were surprisingly decent for the small items I got. However, the garlic in the fries was bad since it gave a rancid, overpowering taste. That's bad garlic right away! Left an overpowering after-taste. The young women at the register when I went inside on a Sunday evening had no excitement and seemed as if she absolutely did not want to be there. I walked in, my first time. I greeted the young woman at the register, said I had a pick-up. She did not smile, stared at me and bluntly told me, "What's your name!?" I just quickly told her, because I didn't know if there was a problem. She walked away and mumbled, "It'll be out," with zero acknowledgement. I walked away and pulled out my phone. I felt like she really did not want to be there or deal with me. She also never told me thank you or had any basic manners that you would expect. I'm sure everyone gets tired. However, I know great customer service is much more friendlier and helpful, but definitely not in my experience. The second young woman walked out, avoided eye-contact and mumbled, "Have a good night," and placed the bag there. I did not say anything. I wanted to leave and not come back. I grabbed my food and left.
