Nick The Greek - Fair Oaks

This was our first time visit to Nick the Greek. We asked the counter person what she recommended. She said the Bowl was a customer favorite. We ordered a beef/lamb bowl and a chicken bowl. Both were delicious. Very generous serving of tasty food. Since we don't like spicy, we order the spicy yogurt dressing on the side. We did a quick taste of the spicy yogurt and then did not use it. There is a white tzatziki dressing that is drizzled on each of the bowls - on a spicy scale of 1-5, it's about a 1/2. Very flavorful and not salty. I'm trying to figure out how to order a bowl without the spicy yogurt, with tzatziki drizzle and with extra tzatziki on the side. I can't wait to go back again.

I came here about a month ago on my lunch break, and I'm happy I did. It took forever for this place to open, with a "Coming Soon" banner hanging from the building. Apparently, the word "soon" is open to interpretation.Anyway, I came here around noon, and it wasn't super busy. I ordered the lamb gyro combo that came with a drink (which you'll need if you order food here) and upgraded my fries from regular to garlic. The total was around $15, which is pretty normal for a combo meal these days. I figured I had a little time to spare until my order was ready, so I went to the bathroom real quick to wash my hands, I wasn't gone more than a couple of minutes before my order was ready. It kind of took me by surprise how quick it was ready. How would it taste? I'm happy to say it was pretty solid. Everything was hot and fresh, and they gave me a good amount of food. I definitely didn't leave there hungry. It wasn't exactly as good as Opa Opa used to be, but it was pretty good. Also, it's pretty cool to see a little variety in the area, amongst all the fast food joints, sushi bars, and usual fast-casual dining establishments that are scattered all over. Overall, I can't think of a good reason NOT to give this place five stars. Yes, I have had better Greek food, but the taste of the food, price for a combo meal, and the speed of service sealed the deal for me. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is a fan of Greek food or is just looking to try something slightly different.

I've been pulled to try Nick the Greek's for some time now, and finally took that leap of faith, and I'm glad I did. We ordered the Chicken Gyro Pita, Chicken Souvlaki Pita & Side Greek Salad, and all were prepared to perfection! Our food was prepared and delivered promptly, and the delightful woman taking my order was super helpful. Yes, we will be returning....

Yesterday I stopped in for dinner. The cashier didn't ask me if I had a rewards account. I do. I was very hungry and don't eat here regularly so I didn't think to mention it. When I asked her after sitting down, she said, no, she can't do anything about my meal not being on my rewards account. Further annoying is that their rewards account doesn't print a tally of points. You have to download their app. And no thanks. Very few businesses get the privilege of existing on my personal device.When I checked in on the Yelp app (after sitting down), it popped up that there's a free baklava with check-in. I asked to redeem it. The girl said, "no, I can't" without asking anyone for help. That would have gotten me fired or I would have received a written warning at her age if I had responded like that. A coworker of hers remedied the baklava situation but said she can't do anything about the lost rewards purchase.Another issue - the males who work here cannot urinate *inside* the toilet. All three times I've patronized Nick's, there's been urine on the floor around the toilet. And it's not a small amount. I've patronized places that are busy and there's no urine on the bathroom floor. I told one of the cashiers. She said, "yeah, it's gross" but didn't do anything about it.If the establishment I'm patronizing (1) has employees or patrons constantly missing the toilet because they aren't standing close enough to the porcelain and the urine is all over the floor, and (2) the employees don't clean it up, there's serious sanitary issues and it repulses me. What other sanitary issues are present? I can't eat with circumstances and awareness of such things.It made it worse that one of the male workers was staring at me. And women, you know what I'm talking about in this instance. And we don't like it.Side note: the pork belly gyro meat wasn't very good. Lamb/beef gyro is better and the mustard that they have is not good.I don't believe I'll return.

I am no stranger to "Nick The Greek" as I have written reviews at some of their other Northern California locations (Vacaville & Davis). So when I heard one of their restaurants were going to open in my neck of the woods, I was absolutely ecstatic. However, this location took quite awhile to open as their "coming soon" was posted to the businesses exterior dating back to the summer of 2023. Jump forward roughly 9 months later and this place finally opened its doors on Tuesday 2/27/2024. Located at the Quail Pointe Shopping Center at Sunrise Blvd and adjacent to Madison Ave. in Fair Oaks, this place took over the space of where a Starbucks once stood for many years. I ended up coming here for lunch during the afternoon of Sunday 3/3/2024 at around 1:45pm. As far as the space, it neighbors a "Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop" as well as a nearby sushi restaurant. They do provide very ample seating outside but as far as the inside goes, it is actually quite cramped. Since this place was only on its 6th day of being opened for business, there was a packed house of customers. Their menu board was displayed on multiple LED screens. Additionally, they have enough seating for roughly 35 guests max, a self-serve fountain drink area, a condiment area, and two restrooms. Since I was already familiar with their menu, I went with their "Beef/Lamb Gyro Pita" (for $11.95) and made it a combo (for an additional $4.50) complete with their signature Greek fries and a soft drink. After placing my order, my food is brought to me in roughly 6 short minutes.I will say that for the $18 that I spent for everything (2024 prices), this was quite a filling meal. The gyro was exactly the same consistency, flavor, and generous portion of meat that I had experienced at their other locations. And they did not disappoint with the Tzatziki sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions. The Greek fries also had the perfect balance with the feta cheese and green onions. All in all, I came hungry and left very satisfied. All in all, with the above average service, hearty portions, fair prices, and great location, I am giving the Fair Oaks "Nick the Greek" a unanimous five stars.

Nice to have Nick close to my house : - good food (great gyro and well seasoned chicken) - good service - clean establishment (it's new , hope it stays like this) I look forward to coming here again and again...

Food was really good. Order the pork gyro bowl. Taste was amazing!!! First time here the place is pretty clean. Service was fine. If you never try it , I think you'll like it.

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. .

Hi-ya!So we visited this place for dinner and I was very pleasantly surprised. Some foods I'm very resistant to trying--especially if I don't like the name of the business or if I just don't under the food sometimes; however, this places gyro and fries were great.To be fair I think ordering the place with the gyro bread on the side gives you more then just the gyro order--and you can eat it with a fork instead of it falling apart overtime in your hands.The sauces were good, and fries crunchy and plenty salty and washing it all down with a soda. The meal for the five of us came to around 90ish bucks, and we got a free baclava desert that was ok.It's a clean, clean restaurant and the service from the staff was professional and fast. Our order didn't take long and it was made in eyeshot and delivered right away.Overall really enjoyable meal and experience.

Was just ok the day we went there. Service sort of short and unfriendly.Food just ok also
