Fresh food made to order. The skewer chicken is is delicious. If you love your meat extra seasoned this is not the place for you as it is super healthy and the flavor is MEAT! Friendly staff and the servers are always friendly. I love their froyo with and without the honey. The chocolate sauce/she'll ia good also but I prefer that sweet amd tangy taste of my Greek yogurt. My go to when Im in no mood to cook but want something healthy, light amd fillk filing. Guilt Guilt free food. read more

We finally came in to check this place out. I was worried that because it is a chain maybe it would not be good but I was wrong, at least for now and at this location. Solid 4 for the food, 5 for service and decor. Very clean and spacious. We ordered the Gyro bowl with chicken and falafel and a combination (beef & chicken) Souvlaki plate which are basically skewers with rice and a salad. I also ordered a side of fries. Loved the rice and the fries can't wait to come back to get "nicks fries". Fries are fresh not frozen and perfectly cooked kind of a Mediterranean spiced in n out fries vibe. Wife enjoyed her bowl very much and also looking forward to our next meal here. This shopping center is very busy so parking can be challenging but worth it. read more

It's a chain but a really good one. One of the best meals you can get in Riverbank. My go to order is the Mediterranean bowl with beef and lamb which I upgraded to a combo. The falafel is really good too with the spicy yogurt. The staff is always very nice and hard working, making sure that the restaurant is clean and the condiments are well stocked.

First time here. First time to this chain. The service was A+. So accommodating and answered any questions without making you feel uncomfortable. the manager/owner? Was very nice. We decided to get the bowls w/choice of protein. I chose the falafels. They were delish. had some crunch to it and some spice. I enjoyed that... but if you don't like Spicy.. you should stay away. it had yellow basmati on bottom of bowl. 2 bowls and 1 fountain drink was $31.00 I guess this is just what it is these days. expensive. I would definitely recommend this and for my vegan friends too:) read more

So, I found this place on Yelp and began viewing the pics and reviews. The food looked so good that my wife and I had to try it. This location is in Riverbank, CA, about 10 minutes Northeast of Modesto. Upon the writing of this review, this establishment had opened its doors only a short 80 days ago. Upon entry, you could see right off the bat that everything was well lit, clean, and inviting. We were greeted by the young lady pictured in this review. I explained it was our first time. She began to explain the menu and answered all of our questions. She was very helpful. My wife ordered the Jerry Rice bowl with a side of pita bread and hummus. I ordered the Porkbelly Gyro with double meat and a side of Greek fries. The gentleman in the blue shirt pictured in this review brought our food to our table, and MAN did it look delicious! As for the portions...the portions were huge! Especially when you compare them to other restaurants in this category. I call them "Quick-straunts." Where you pop in for a quick meal and go. Definitely a step or two above a fast food joint, but not a full service dinner restaurant either. This place came about and has nicely filled a niche focused on popular Greek Street Food... and I think they nailed it. The freshness and quality of the food really speak for itself. The Pita Bread is amazing. My Gyro was the BOMB! There is so much flavor going on, but I probably should not have ordered it with extra meat because I barely touched my Greek fries. I did, however, eat some of them, and I would definitely order them again over just plain fries. My wife said she thoroughly enjoyed her Jerry Rice Bowl, and when I asked her if she could eat it every day, she smiled and said, "Yes, but the next time she orders it she will omit the mustard sauce." She was extremely satisfied with her meal. As was I. All in all, there are so many choices on the menu options (which I have included in pics) that you can tailor your order to just how you like it. I didn't go into too much detail on what was in our order because I would be here all night, but you can check the menu pics I have included for the deets! I am glad we gave this place a try. We will be back to try more menu items. read more

It was loaded with meat--honestly, the amount you'd normally have to ask for double meat at other places. The meat had a nice crispy edge, and the lamb was seasoned perfectly. So good. The owner was a one-man show, hustling hard during a busy lunch rush, juggling takeout orders like a pro. Despite being slammed, he was incredibly kind and made sure everyone was taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in what he does. I also loved the unassuming storefront and the décor inside--lots of pride shown for our country and local law enforcement, with flags and service patches displayed throughout.

All their lamb dishes are halal and I did try their two lamb options ( rack of lamb and baghali polo) , they both were amazing. In terms of chicken , I wish I could try their saffron chicken which is very popular dish at this place, but I did try their joojeh kabob which was the only halal option there in terms of chicken. And I admit it was amazing as well, this kabob was cooked to perfection and had all the flavors along with being juicy . They do have a lot of vegetarian options and pescatarian options as well. I have heard that their Salmon is pretty good as well. Overall amazing place to try Mediterranean food if you are in Modesto .

What we got The classic smash 10/10! This burger was sooo good the only thing I'd personally change was it had too many grilled onions for me but the burger was juicy, cheese was melted, garlic sauce was bomb and the pickles were good. All around good burger. Latin bowl and my boyfriend said it was really tasty everything was fresh. The chicken Caesar salad sandwich another 10/10 sandwich. My friend got this but let me take a bite and it was so good crispy juicy chicken topped with a Caesar salad on top I would definitely order this next time. Her son got the kids burger and LOVED IT. he said it tasted like in n out which is his favorite lol we also got a side of curly fries and a side of sidewinder fries. I would definitely order the curly fries again the sidewinder fries were ok but not a favorite or mine. I wish they had fountain drinks they only have a weird selection of cans and bottles not even regular soda really lol just Coke Zero in small tall cans and diet coke and a few others. But that's really not a huge deal for me.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nick the Greek, a fast casual Greek restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. We ordered some kebabs and a gyro bowl, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The kebabs were perfectly grilled, with tender and juicy meat that was full of flavor. The seasoning was spot on, and the accompanying vegetables were fresh and crisp. The gyro bowl was equally impressive, with a generous portion of savory gyro meat, fresh vegetables, and a creamy tzatziki sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The service was quick and friendly, making the overall experience very enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to enjoy some high-quality Greek food in a casual setting, I highly recommend Nick the Greek. It's a great spot for a tasty and satisfying meal. read more

Nick the Greek in Riverbank, California, is a fantastic spot for quick and tasty Greek street food! My order came out super fast, and everything was fresh and delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy and flavorful--one of the highlights--and the mango juice was incredibly refreshing and spot-on. Great service and authentic vibes make it a must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

The food was phenomenal--perfectly cooked kabobs that were flavorful, tender, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. It was the kind of meal where everyone at the table was talking about how good their plate was, which says a lot when you're serving a group that size. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone was taken care of without ever feeling rushed. Hosting 30 people is no small task, but they handled it seamlessly and with genuine warmth. Amazing food, amazing service, and exceptional hospitality. If you're looking for a place that delivers incredible kabobs and truly knows how to take care of their guests--whether it's a small meal or a large gathering--this spot deserves your highest recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.
