Nick The Greek - Fair Oaks, California

NORCAL O.

Nice experience, first time here and never heard of it. It's a little tucked away in the plaza but it's visible from the street.

Gabe helped us out and he was great very friendly and good attention to detail. The inside and outside his place is really nice though pretty upscale I would say it's one of the higher quality Greek places. Order the classic gyro l with lamb and beef. It was pretty good I like that it stayed stayed together with the bread often times it falls apart. My friends didn't like the garlic fries too much. Froyo was very good honey. Baklava in like a Greek yogurt probably.

Would recommend. .

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.

Service was good staff was friendly. Food was kinda bland and the pork kabob was tough. My gyro was good but would ask them to not put fries on it if we return. Not bad for a chain.

Upon stepping inside, I was immediately struck by the spotless cleanliness of the place, setting the stage for an exceptional dining experience. The ambiance is inviting, with a cozy atmosphere perfect for both solo dining and gatherings with friends and family.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the food. I opted for the Falafel Platter, and let me tell you, it exceeded all expectations! Each bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing the perfect blend of spices and textures. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was impeccable.

What's more, the prices here are incredibly reasonable, making it not only a delicious dining option but also a budget-friendly one. And let's not forget about the Greek yogurt – it's an absolute must-try! Creamy, tangy, and utterly delightful, it's the perfect way to round off your meal.

But what truly sets Nick The Greek apart is the exceptional service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing their love for Greek cuisine with every customer.

In summary, Nick The Greek in Fair Oaks has all the ingredients for a memorable dining experience – delicious food, reasonable prices, cleanliness, and superb service. I'm already planning my next visit, and I highly recommend you do the same. Opa!

My daughter and I enjoy dinner out tonight. She ordered the pita bowl and I ordered the pita. We both got chicken. We got great food. We got a side order of Falafel. It was delicious and spicy. We ordered the Greek donuts for dessert and were not disappointed. The food was all fresh and hot. As much as I would recommend the food, we received service that you just don’t find in these environments, or really anywhere anymore. We both agreed that the whole experience was made that much better by Gabriel. He brought our food out to us and was all around a very kind and thoughtful person. We saw many of his interactions and he is a big part of why everything was great. From customer service to interacting with the kitchen crew, he is what makes this place a great experience. We will definitely be back and hope management recognizes they’ve got a good one.

I love me some Greek food and am very excited for Nick the Greek to open soon. The menu got my mouth watering and the location is easy and convenient to access. Outside patio dining with some fresh food, can it get better? I submit that it cannot!

The food was good, but the portion was very small for a 14$ gyro bowl. I’ve been to other locations and never had this problem.

I bought the pork Souvlaki plate; unfortunately, this pork must have been pre-cooked and then reheated because when I got it, it was so dry and tough it was like chewing on Old leather with no flavor AND to top that off, my salad had no feta cheese on it. This was not authentic Greek food
