This is a long overdue review! First off, if you're looking for Greek/Mediterranean food that is reasonably-priced, fast and good quality look no further than Nick the Greek! We attended their grand opening a couple of years ago and it was awesome. Even after? We still come to this location about every-so-often. We just went again about a week and a half ago and still the service does not disappoint. The food is flavorful with great servings and the ambiance, restaurant dining area is clean, open and bright. Their froyo with a chocolate shell is delicious! And they also now serve Spanakopita! This location is in the Trader Joe's shopping plaza off Madison & Sunrise. read more

We live Nick the Greek and how consistent they are from store to store (this one being no exception). Their plates of sliced gyro style meat and grilled chicken skewers are our favorite. I would also highly recommend their Greek yogurt (add honey and/or baklava, if you like, but not required for delicious-ness! read more

My family and I were here the other night and needed something fast and easy! NICK the GREEK hit the spot! So many delicious options and the menu is easy to read and understand. My husband ordered the falafel plate, Kids ordered the Lamb Gyro wrap and kids plate and I ordered some protein on the side! It was delicious and the service was amazing. The food came out quickly too! Casual dining so don't expect luxury- the restroom was clean and the parking was easy! Next time will try the desserts! read more

We have been wanting to try this place for awhile I would say it was pretty good we both ordered the chicken gyro the meat didn't have a lot of flavor but there mustard sauce was delicious. I will say it was pretty filling, there French fries are pretty tasty. My favorite thing was the baklava. I thought it was delicious. I will most likely return and try one of their plates to see if it has a little bit more flavor. read more

Nick The Greek - Chicken Gyro and Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Decent Greek spot, especially for a time crunch. They moved quickly, which I appreciated as someone with a narrow 25 minute window for lunch. I opted for the beef and lamb combo plate. It satisfied my cravings for something tasty yet still somewhat healthy. My to-go box came with an adequate portion of protein and plenty of vegetables. The pita is somewhat unique in a good way -- it has this mildly savory taste to it. The dude at the counter was cordial. It's not my go-to for Mediterranean cuisine (I haven't found it yet in the 6 months I've lived in Sac), but I still enjoyed the food and service. $16.75 and tax for the combo plate though?? I don't know about that... pretty steep, and the main thing preventing me from returning. read more

Always love coming here when I'm in this part of town! Great Greek/Mediterranean food here. The gyros are great, the plates are filling Great fries and yummy rice! I love the mandarin cardamom and strawberry dragonfruit drinks here! I refil them l multiple times!! Service is always friendly and quick! Definitely recommend! read more

Nick The Greek - Chicken souvlaki - Mediterranean Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Omg so dang good. I came here for dinner with my family. We apparently all like the bowl so that's what we all ordered. . We ordered the steak chimichurri bowl and love the fresh rice inside, with all the veggies, and sauces and hummus too. Love the fresh steak with chimichurri which was amazing. . Their yogurt with honey and baklava is to die for. So good and not too sweet and is refreshing. Sounds heavy but when you eat it, it's really good and not too much. . Located in the same shopping center as traders joe. Which is great to shop and eat too. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. read more

My sister and I did a quick Google search for a Greek place. This place came up, so we thought we'd check it out. I guess it's a chain, but no worries..... We had been snacking all day, so I ordered the kids place...protein, rice, and pita. I said chicken, and the cashier was friendly, and suggested I get the chicken kebab rather then the sliced chicken. Good choice. The chicken kabob was surprisingly juicy, the rice was flavorful, and the pita did NOT taste like a generic store brand...as opposed to other similar restaurants I have tried. For the price, the quality, AND quantity, overall a really good experience. Whether it's a chain or not, I think if I lived closer this would make it's way into my rotation. If in the area and in need of a quick bite, I would happily return read more

Nick The Greek - A delicious plate of food....good value - Mediterranean Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

Modern Greek decor with an open layout although not many seats inside. They have a soda machine as well as some cool bottled. drinks The Beef/Lamb gyro was tasty with amazingly pillowy pita and ample delicious tzatziki sauce with plenty of gyro meat. The falafel was decent but could use some spices. Definitely a good quick spot for lunch and they offer catering! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for months! Finally stopped in on the way home from work to grab a meal. I was excited! Walked in and the place was clean and neat. Wasn't greeted. I was the only one there at the moment. Stood in front of the register while viewing the menu. Girl behind the counter didn't even say I'll be right with you. Just kept working on to go orders. Finally asked "how can I help you" I ordered a chicken gyro. It was ok. Pita bread was dry. Chicken and fillings were yummy, though. read more

Went there for a late afternoon lite lunch. OMG!! Got a pork belly gyro & an order of Loukoumades. So very glad we stopped. The gyro was more than I needed to eat, but one bite and I knew there would be nothing left. It was fabulous. The meat was so tender and perfectly piggy without being salty like bacon. The produce was fresh and tastes were separate. YUM to the max. Tzatziki sauce was delish and a perfect balance to the umami of the pork, and the fresh pita and produce. It turned into an early dinner cuz I ate the whole thing. The loukoumades were fried balls of dough, Greek Beignets- w honey, walnuts & cinnamon. So good, DH & I ate all six. We will be going back soon to try the falafel and souvlaki. Service was fast, and it has some outdoor tables. I took mine to go. YUM read more

The pork belly pita is terrific. Good blend of flavors. Everything is fresh. I like the fair oaks nick the Greek better than the Elk Grove. All items are freshly cooked. Service staff are very friendly. read more

I love Nick the Greek and I've tried a few in the area, and I've also eaten at a few Nick the Greek's in the Bay Area as well. This particular Nick the Greek in Fair Oaks (5355 Sunrise Blvd, Fair Oaks, CA 95628) is pretty darn good. The service is great, and the manager that is running this particular Nick the Greek knows what they are doing. I get the Chicken Gyro and the seasoning on that chicken is hella good. Plus the fries are hot and fresh. I remember eating at the Nick the Greek in San Carlos, CA (on Laurel street) and they would use old fries that are not even fresh. That Nick the Greek is not good and one time I got the Chicken Gyro and it had a ton of fatty, nasty chicken pieces. This one in Fair Oaks on the other hand, is super good. Chicken is fresh, well seasoned, and they actually give you good quality pieces of chicken or meat. The rice in the rice bowl is also delicious too. They deserve to get the shoutout and whoever the cook is at this place knows what they are doing. Love this Nick the Greek in Fair Oaks. Get the Chicken Gyro, it's good stuff. read more

Loved this place but found two hairs in my 20 dollar bowl. Two brown hairs that are probably shoulder length and can confidently say it's not mine. Disappointed because I liked this place but I physically gagged while pulling the hair out of my mouth while trying to enjoy my meal after a long day. read more

Excited to try the food. Everything looks fresh. Service was good and fast people working were very nice read more

Service was fine. Counter service and surprising table delivery...we had a number we thought would be called. The workers seemed upbeat. The ambiance was ok. Bright and clean. But sooooo noisy. We had the lamb gyros. The lamb was cooked perfectly and I am a lamb expert from Australia. The Pita bread seemed a little undercooked but it was plentiful. The tzatziki sauce was disappointing. Not very flavorful and scant on the gyro itself. I requested extra and that was not a problem. Minimal veggies and no feta cheese. And what is with the French fries in the gyro? No thanks. read more

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. . read more

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. read more

Really loved this place the first time I tried it. Ordered a chicken bowl on Doordash & i bit into a piece of plastic. What a waste didnt want to finish it in case there was more. Bummer read more

Nick The Greek - The plastic i bit into. Almost broke a tooth not sure what it could be from - Mediterranean Near Me - Fair Oaks, California

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. read more

Terrible Greek food, unless you like a very poor quality fast food meal! I was looking forward to trying it ... however it started with part of our order missing, the Gyros had poor quality meet, the extremely strong garlic taste of the fries stayed in your mouth for an entire day, and the spanakopita was just as bad. Very disappointed. read more

The food at Nick's never misses. The beef/lamb gyro was delicious and the pita surrounding it was warm and pillowy. The staff is always friendly too. Pro tips: order your fries extra crispy (I had a combo with fries and a drink) AND download the app to earn points that you can redeem for food! (No photo because I was so hungry I didn't come up for air until after I ate the gyro!) read more
