Also tried the Grecian chicken, souvlaki combo (chicken and pork), and rib tips. Everything was pretty delish, service was quick…took about 10-12 minutes for all of this. There is a decent amount of seating and parking.
I’m a fan…love me a good family owned neighborhood business! Have already been back again in the same week!
The gyro meat was overcooked, and the pita was burnt and hard. Please see the photo. We think these are new owners. It’s not the same. Will not be back.
Chill vibe and clean!
After passing by Nick’s so many times. We decided to go there after the last Trick or Treaters stopped by.
It was a little late, so you always think it’s a hit or miss. Wow, We were wrong. Everything we ordered was a winner. Cooked to perfection that had our taste buds jumping with excitement. We ordered Chicken Gyro / Fries and Chicken Breast Dinners. Family really enjoyed our dinner. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu.
That’s another thing… The Menu.
So many items to choose from. There is something for everyone. I really like having so many choices.

Tried it again today 5 months later, kept it simple. Ordering a chicken sandwich, I received a $13 chicken sandwich. Photos below.
I have been a loyal customer for over 15 years, visiting about three times a month, and I always order the same thing: the Famous Chicken Gyro (#14, no tomatoes) with a fresh, made-to-order sack of fries. Until now, I have never had a problem.
On 12/15 at approximately 5:10 PM, I came in and ordered my usual and dined in. When I bit into the gyro, after getting past the honey mustard, the chicken was hard, crusty, and completely dried out—clearly overcooked from sitting too long on the rotisserie. While disappointing, I didn’t make a big deal out of it. I finished my fries, which were still hot and fresh, and calmly showed the cashier the gyro.
I spoke quietly and respectfully and explained that the chicken wasn’t good. She was polite and said they would remake it. I thanked her several times and explained that I normally don’t complain, but I was hungry and on a short lunch break. I asked if I could take the replacement to go since I was running late.
As I grabbed my jacket and returned to the counter, I overheard the cashier telling the two cooks something along the lines of, “It’s not like that—he’s a nice guy and comes here all the time.” I took this as her trying to explain that I wasn’t trying to get free food, just that the gyro had been poorly prepared.
When I returned to work and opened the replacement gyro, I was shocked. There was a broom bristle placed inside the chicken gyro, hidden under a large amount of honey mustard.
I have spent a significant amount of money at this business over the years, and I am beyond angry and disappointed. Putting what appears to be a dirty broom bristle—used to clean floors—into a customer’s food is unacceptable, unsanitary, and malicious.
Because of how this was handled and how I was treated, I will never return. I am filing complaints and sharing this experience publicly so others are aware.
This is not about a bad gyro—it’s about employee behavior and food safety, and I hope ownership takes this seriously.
