I'm not even going to lie, I love Nick the Greek. The food is always so good and fresh, and the best part is it's not greasy so you don't feel gross after eating, which I really appreciate. My go to order is the chicken bowl with a side of pita and it never misses, it's so flavorful and filling. The only downside is they can be a little stingy with extra pita sometimes, but the cashiers are always super nice which makes up for it. I will say it's way better to order in person because DoorDash portions can be pretty small and not as worth it. Overall this is definitely one of my go to spots when I want something quick, refreshing, and actually fueling for the day. read more

Best place open late downtown. 3.4 stars for this chain and about same for this location. Consistent food and often have BOGO on UberEats. I think they're not cheap if you dont get a BOGO though, so if I'm going to spend money I would go local instead of a chain. All things being said, Nick the Greek probably higher up in my list of chains. This place can take a bit of time even in store, though. Bright, usually always a place to sit but feels empty and tables usually a bit sticky. read more

Ordered the gyro bowl and was not disappointed. Perfect amount of food to feel full. Meat was flavorful and tender. There was enough sauce and cheese so the bowl didnt feel dry. It was perfectly balanced. I would definitely order this again and would highly recommend to others. Theres plenty of seating and parking nearby too. read more

Ordering was easy, but the menu display doesn't list ingredients. Their paper menus do, so we made our selection from that. We each ordered gyro pitas. Falafel for him, veggie for me. My pita had a lot of runny sauce. While delicious, I had to be careful not to drip on my clothes. The zucchini in my pita looked and tasted freshly grilled. I tasted the falafel, it had a nice flavor, a bit of spice. There were live potted flowering plants on some of the tables, a nice touch. I noticed a sticker on the table that if you wrote a review after making a purchase and showed it to any team member, you could get a free baklava. So, of course I did. It came pre-packaged in a plastic container so we brought it home. I just had a little taste and it's stale. Yuck. Normally we love baklava, but not this one. If I had paid for it, $4 a piece, I would be very disappointed. There is one unisex bathroom. read more

Made plans to meet my friend for lunch and she suggested Nick the Greek. I will never turn down the opportunity for a gyro and some tzatziki! We met at 12:30 PM on a Wednesday and it wasn't crowded so that was nice. The restaurant was clean, bright and inviting. We were greeted by a very friendly young lady at the counter who took our orders. I have had gyros before and I was kind of surprised to read that there were fries IN the gyro. I have never heard of that before. I asked if they got soggy and she said they didn't. Buuuut, I wasn't willing to risk a good gyro, so I opted out of the fries and ordered a Beef/Lamb gyro. My friend ordered the Chickem Gyro Salad. We both thought our food was great!! My pita was toasted just enough that the outside was crunchy, but it was still pillowy soft. There was a TON of meat. The only thing I would have preferred was to have my tomatoes chopped instead of quartered. That meant I only had 4 bites with tomatoes. After we finished eating, we ordered a frozen yogurt to share. It was perfectly tart and delicious - a great way to end the meal. The manager checked in with us a few times and cleared our table for us since we were still chatting. Overall it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back and next time I'll finish off my meal with some baklava! read more

Delicious Tahini Crunch Salad. Very fresh and flavorful, and came out quickly. Good amount for price. I've gotten the Greek froyo with baklava and honey a few times - it's one of the things I crave and make a point to get when I'm in town, and have told multiple people about. Also a healthy portion size, very shareable! Service is always pretty quick. I've also gotten their wraps, which are good and well-priced, if my memory serves. read more

Back in Davis! After a long weekend of lounging in Lake Tahoe, it was time to get back to reality. On the way back to SF, we decided to make another lunch pit stop. This time we happened upon Nick The Greek. It was a new-to-me choice but I later learned it was a chain.* Typically, I like to shop/eat/etc. local but a good time is a good time. We parked in an adjacent lot (cool street art all around) and made our way inside. Despite it being lunch time on a Monday, there weren't that many people inside... which made walking up to the giant menu board a bit less stressful. Even though the pressure was low I sort of choked and went with Nick's Fries... and a side of rice? Like, what? I don't know why either. What was done was done so I just went with it. Oh, and I ordered a sour cherry drink to wash it all down. The choice was weird not because the food was bad. The choice was weird because who orders rice to go along with loaded fries? I blame vacation fatigue. After ordering and waiting by the counter for a bit, our food was ready and we took it outside to soak up the sun. The Nick's Fries was a hefty arrangement of fries covered in feta, garlic, tzatziki, and gyro meat. It was very satisfying. Possibly the only way to top it is if I were hung over and needing to sober up. This isn't healthy food but it's delicious food. Nick's would be dangerous to a college John T. The side of (yellow) basmati rice was good but with each forkful I wondered why I was eating it. It didn't make sense on my plate but I didn't want to waste food and didn't think it would keep all the way back to SF. The fries were meal enough. Don't overdo it like I did. With a specific menu that easily translates from market to market, it makes sense to me (in hindsight) that NTG is a chain. It's a chain that works so more power to it. Not only was it a solid choice for a road meal but it could loop into a lunch rotation without difficulty. Oprah!!** *Now with a location in Nashville. **Yes, I know. read more

We stopped in around 9pm looking for a healthier dinner option and decided to give this place a try. There were no other customers in the store when we arrived. The employee who helped us was pleasant at first, and we initially said we'd take the food to go. We later decided to eat in, which seemed to change their demeanor. The food itself was excellent hot, fresh, and well-seasoned. Truly no complaints there. While we were eating and after other customers had come in, the employee came over and asked for our bag back. It was honestly very strange and uncomfortable to be asked to return something that had already been given to us. We were confused but handed it over. They said thank you with a noticeably snarky attitude and then folded the bag up to reuse it for another customer, which raised sanitation concerns. After that interaction, I felt genuinely uncomfortable sitting there and enjoying my meal. The atmosphere completely shifted and it felt unwelcoming, almost as if we were being discouraged from eating inside. I obviously can't say that was the intent, but the experience left such a bad impression that I don't feel comfortable returning which is unfortunate, because the food itself was great. read more

With the student discount and a drink our total came out to about $30, which I think is a pretty good deal. I have to agree with a lot of the comments here in saying that the falafel is really good. The falafel was nice and moist, not dry at all and that perfect balance of like crumbly, but still able to maintain it shape. It appeared really well with the rice and the sauce. Speaking of which, sauces. They do not skip. My only complaint about the platter is that there aren't a ton of veggies/salad, but that's really not that big of a deal. The veggies are pretty good though, they've got a sauce and seasoned well. The gyro platter itself was pretty good, I actually really liked that the meat isn't shaved, rather it's cubed. It makes the meat feel and taste a lot more tender and juicy, as I find the shaved meat can run a little dry. Not much to say about service or ambience, as I wasn't really there for that or really paying attention. The person that was running the register was kind enough. I totally forgot until after we had ordered that they are known for their burgers. Will stop by at a later date to give that a try and update the review.

Compared to Sam's, less bread but good especially when hot, no red sauce, more meat, less vegetables, less flavorful rice.

The inside was bustling even on a holiday weekend, but takeout was made easy with the kiosk setup. At only $11 and ready in under five minutes, it's hard to ask for much more.

A trip back to Davis isn't complete without hitting up the old college haunts, and this spot still…read moreholds up. This weekend was a nostalgic return to my go-to for breakfast burritos, and despite the inevitable price hike since my college days, the flavors were exactly as I remembered. The Legend: This isn't your average breakfast wrap; it's a heavy-hitter loaded with a unique mix of ingredients that shouldn't work as well as they do. The Build: Two scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and savory gyro meat. The Crunch: They pack it with french fries for that perfect starchy texture. The Kick & Sweet: What makes this special is the combo of honey and Tapatío, it gives you that sweet-and-spicy profile that keeps you coming back for every bite. The Experience: I was so excited to dive in that I actually started eating before I could even snap a photo for the review. It's the ultimate comfort food and the perfect way to fuel up while visiting town. The Verdict: If you're a UC Davis alum or just passing through, this burrito is a mandatory stop. It's a bit pricier now, but for a nostalgic meal that satisfies every craving at once, it is worth every penny. It was everything I remembered and more!

Ambiance

It was good but I've had better. It had a nice topping and sauce to crust ratio but it was missing something. The eclair we received sadly tasted old. It was probably from the day before.

*** Vegetarian Review ***…read more Walking the campus grid. I was a little hungry to start my walk, but when I walked by Latitude and the door opened, I caved into my cravings. Been wanting to go here for at least 5 years so today is the day. Seating is outside only, but students and non-students can partake. Hawaiian BBQ Station Teriyaki Tofu plate with 1/2 white and brown rice. Super happy the mac salad is also vegetarian. The teriyaki can be a bit heavy handed so if you don't like a lot of sauce, ask for it SOS (sauce on the side). The tofu were small cubes with a lot of texture to the outside. All of the items were very nicely prepared. Haven't had mac salad in so long because most include crab. Thanks for keeping it veggie. The tofu was placed on a bed of cabbage so feel good about eating your veggies. The other side of Latitude is buffet style for $17.99. Pretty good deal, but not many vegetarian selections on the most recent menu. I would definitely come back.

While there's a smaller selection of seafood, I appreciate that they have watermelon poke and tofu as non-meat options! There is also a great variety of toppings, bases, and sauces which I appreciated. Overall, a yummy and convenient bowl that kept me full!

The addition of the mustard greens helped cut a lot of the fattiness and everything was well seasoned. I really enjoyed the fish sauce mix as it wasn't too spicy while being balanced in sweetness and saltiness. My only qualm was that the pork belly definitely tasted closer to thit kho and was a bit salty for my taste. However, the combination of all the elements were overall really yummy!

Everything tasted fresh. We are definitely going to order it again the next time we're at Local Kitchens!

On the recommendation of the counter staff, I ordered the Chicken Breast Classic sandwich, and I ordered fries with no salt (that's a dietary thing, and a secret way to get fries straight out of the fryer). OMG - the sandwich was almost perfect and the fries were perfect. If I were serving that sandwich to guests, I'd ask if they wanted the chicken breast cold or warmed slightly. As noted from other reviewers, the "sourdough" roll is shaped as a round bun which is not as I thought it would arrive. It also didn't have a traditional sourdough tang or texture. It was good, but not very sourdough. Expectations vs. reality. The service was fast and friendly, the restaurant was clean, parking was easy, and I feel like my meal was priced appropriately. No pics, I was HUNGRY when I landed there - so, props again for really quick service from the time I walked in until I had hot fries in front of me.
