We ordered a big assortment from Nick's Gyros & Phillys in Columbia -- double burgers, gizzards, wings, gyros -- and EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh as can be. You could tell it was cooked to order. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, the wings were crispy and seasoned perfectly, the gizzards were on point (hard to find good ones like that), and the gyros were loaded and tasted incredible. Portions were generous, everything was hot, and the quality across the board was consistent. When you order a variety of items and every single thing hits, that says a lot. Definitely one of the best spots in Cola. We'll 100% be back. read more

Foods good. Price is reasonable and the seating area is nice as well as clean. It's a nice place for lunch. read more

Nicks Gyros & Phillys - Nice place to sit down and eat instead of rushing back to work. - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Great food! Always wonderful service and food. We visit every time we come to Columbia.

I have ordered 3-4 times through delivery. The first time was very good. It was my first time getting the veggie pita. I have ordered it 3 other times including to day; I also ordered onion rings every time. Onion rings - twice perfect & other times overcooked & today sweat made them not crispy. Veggie pita today had lettuce tomato & mayo along with the grilled onions mushroom, green peppers , other grill veggies. All the other times didn't have sub type ingredients- and the ingredients are not listed on the menus, for Uber 1, I couldn't have asked to have it taken it off since I didn't know it was there. UberEats doesn't have a place for details about the Restaurant-but I did see that it is showing 3/5 stars on multiple sites. Probably will only order if I can go into the restaurant so I can get all the details, order and check my order. It costs too much for food you will not eat. Also in the group they said the wings & French Fries were overcooked, so I wouldn't advise ordering too late at night. ‍ read more

Nicks Gyros & Phillys - Menus on Uber Eates - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Ordered the gyro and five chicken wings combo, and a side of yellow rice and black beans. I didn't like the rice and beans much, but that's not to say they weren't good. I just didn't have the taste for them. Having said that, the portion was a meal in itself for being a side order. Well worth the value. The wings were great with BBQ sauce. Nothing to write home about but very satisfying. The gyro was impressive. It wasn't dressed up pretty like most restaurants do. It looked and tasted like a gyro that could've been made in my kitchen (if I knew how to make gyros). It's definitely one of my favorites. Great job! Can't wait to come back and try the Philly. read more

Always hot and delicious and accurate order! I've been to this location, West Columbia, and Two Notch as well.

So this Nick's location is in a sketchy neighboorhood and just beware of that if you go at night. Pretty sure they're open 24 hours. This place is a total dive and you cannot see into the kitchen at all. Scares me....clean? Yeah, I don't know. The dude running the cash register was super friendly and I liked him a lot, but the gyro I ordered was lukewarm at best and they put some sort of weird salt on the fried okra I ordered. By far, the best part about our experience here was how friendly the counter guy was. Nothing else was redeemable about it. This is a drunk people eatery. If I were still in college and was looking for wicked cheap grub and was buzzin' hard core, this place would suffice, but I'm way past that now. Think Waffle House, but sketchier. If you're looking for new, outwardly clean, and safe, this is NOT your jam. read more

This is always a great place to hit up. Of course the gyros are great, but the other options are nice too. Depending on the location I like to get a salad with gyro meat. The crinkle cut fries are well seasoned and not too oily. The staff is friendly and laidback. read more

My Son and I went here today for lunch. I got the number 9 wings and gizzards and my Son got the gizzards and livers with fries. We got our food quickly it was super fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Called and literally asked for one thing - extra tzatziki sauce. Where's my sauce at Nick?! I paid for it and spoke with Nick

Terrible customer service and high prices. Go down the street to Pon Di River and get wings for half the price at better quality. read more

Nicks Gyros & Phillys - a hand holding a fried shrimp - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

The food was really good, and arrived fast. The restaurant was clean, and workers were very helpful!

This was a horrible experience. I wanted a 10 wing combo, but was told that this was not an option even though a 10 wing combo with a drink is listed on their website. I ordered the wings and "cajun" curly fries separately, but received lackluster wings and Great Value curly fries. The meal cost almost $19 and I didn't even have a drink. The ranch and ketchup they provided was cheap (Monarch brand) and so were the hard napkins that were barely useable. It's clear this restaurant is only concerned about money which means they're perfectly fine with offering gross food at ridiculously high prices. Save your money if you want wings and just go to Wing Stop. At least their ranch is cold and homemade, not a random hot packet of ranch that tastes more salty than anything and makes you question the expiration date. read more

I really thought the food was seasoned well and cooked well till not even 3 hours later and my stomach started to hurt... me and my SO now have food poisoning or salmonella not sure which one it has been hell ever since read more

Nick's a no frills hole- n the wall spot for seafood that tastes pretty good. The prices are quite affordable. I always get a seafood combo that comes with fish and 8 shrimp, coleslaw and fries and it's around 13 bucks. My food is always hot which is a plus, but I do always have a long wait for it. If you can catch them on the phone, call it in ahead. They have a drive through, but be prepared to wait. Use your own hot sauce because whatever they are using is not a look. Staff is friendly enough, but sometimes nonchalant. I don't mind much as long as my food is good. I always have consistently good service when I have my order delivered through a delivery app. read more

No. Just no. Save your money go elsewhere and the guy at the register was looking in the back of my car at my kids the whole time. Just creepy. read more

Had Philly, it was good. New and well lit. Easy to find. Great hours! They close at 2 am on Sunday and 4 am the rest of the week. Finally, a place I can go to anytime. read more

absolutely atrocious customer service not accommodating at all based on a DoorDash order that was missing salad dressing did not have any empathy for the situation and not having to drive to the restaurant to obtain salad dressing, and then was refused because their neighboring restaurant down the street was the one that originally had the order that can somewhat be considered but from a customer standpoint, it's not acceptable I went to the other store they gave me three small cups of Greek salad dressing, and that's it for the inconvenience. read more

Walking in everything is outdated but other than that the food is great. The wings were good and hot (got the buffalo) and I got the Philly chicken and it was overwhelming enough to eat without fries and I added some ranch to it and it was perfect. Cheesecake tasted like cardboard so I don't suggest the cheesecake. read more

Nicks Gyros & Phillys - Added the ranch and it couldn't have been more perfect - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

these POS put mayonnaise on everything even when you say not to. slow to function cognitively.

Good food and quick service! Stopped on a whim, to get out of the traffic on I-20 and didn't want the fast food style meal. My husband, youngest daughter and I decided to give this establishment a try. We were not disappointed in the food nor the prompt service. We enjoyed having the option to dine in and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

So watch them make your food, while putting together my Gyro, the cook checked his cell phone at least 3 times, and continued to wrap my Gyro, and then look at his phone and then touch my food again. So I asked for my money back, I never accepted the Gyro, and I was told they don't refund money, but he would put gloves on and make me another. I said no, and he still proceeded to prepare another with gloves on. They showed me the restaurant policy written on cardboard, and said again no refunds. After 3 attempts to the back and much arguing between the big man at the cash register, the cook who touched the food, I was finally refunded my money. Cell phones and food prep don't go together. I won't ever go back. read more

Nice hole in the wall place to get a gyro. Got the combo with a side of hush puppies. Fries were seasoned awesome, hush puppies fantastic, gyro was great. Would definitely recommend and will be going back read more

Very dirty place. No paper towels in restrooms. Tables, walls , floors, counter, all filthy dirty. I don't think they clean anything except maybe wipe tables at night. The cashier didn't even know how to pronounce the items on the menu. There really wasn't anything Greek about this place. It was just a bunch of food variations thrown together. Shrimp,scallops, burgers, and a gyro. Can't think of anything good to say. I won't be going back. read more

This has become one of my favorite places to go to. I moved down here a few months ago and have visited frequently and my food is always hot, fresh, and tasty! I usually order the mild wings and fried shrimp but I've tried the calamari strips, fries, and sweet tea! Everything has been good so far from this place and I recommend it to anyone that wants GOOD fast food read more

Nick's has been one of my favorite local spots since I moved to the area in 2013. This particular location on Bush River is my favorite out of all of the locations. The food is always great. The staff can be a little gruff at times, but they've never been outwardly rude or unaccommodating. There isn't an item on the menu that I have tried that I did not enjoy, and no matter what I get I always have to get an order of fries as well. The food is always freshly made and it shows. read more

This place is great when you want some seafood through the drive through but that's about it. Their service sucks majority of the time and you'll always end up waiting Atleast 15 minutes no matter what time you go. read more

Ordered flounder platter . It should have been a French fry platter , there was only 1 pc of fish , 2 hush puppies and coleslaw . Only gave two stars because the fish was ok , customer service was bad and the price of the food for the quantity was horrible . 9 bucks for one piece of flounder that was not fresh but frozen. Needless to say I wil not visit anytime soon and I will def not get the flounder platter . read more

Nicks Gyros & Phillys - Flounder platter from Nicks cost : 9.00 - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Mother of god.... never been so discusted. For starters, i allwats try to find the good- the roll was delicious, but thats where it ends, ordered a "philly" and it was more or less steakums, not the delicious rib meat that makes a philly a philly, second it was seasoned with so much black pepper that it was inedible (and i enjoy crazy spicy" it came with lettuce and tomato on it- go ahead and find one place in philly that would even do that at your request... Will not return, threw 90% of it in the trash read more

Gyro&Fries -/+Fries stale but I imagine fresh they would've been awesome - Gyro meat overcooked - Hardly any sauce - Over seasoned + Pita bread yummy + Lots of Gyro meat read more

Wide range of food. Gyros, wings, shrimp, rice and beans. We ordered all of the above. The wings were fried just right, had the right amount of sauce, and were a great size. Taste was amazing. The shrimp as an appetizer were jumbo in size, seasoned and fried just right. The gyro was not as flavor packed as the rest of the food. It had all the usual toppings: tazeki (?)sauce, tomatoes,onions. But the bread was not heated up. Price was reasonable. All in all a great spot for visitors. read more

My daughter and I recently got Greek salad with gyro meat to go, with tzatziki sauce. Really good food and generous portions. And a very good tasting dolmada was included in the salad. Nick's is pretty small. It was the end of lunch hour, so the place was really busy and service was slower​ than one might expect. We did have to ask more than once for several things, as they weren't included in our to go order. Things like straws and napkins. And salad dressing. And the tzatziki sauce we had especially added to the order. However, other than the salad being pretty wet and made largely of iceburg lettuce, the food was really delicious so it was worth the wait. read more

I enjoy coming here because the service and their business hours are great! I work late so with their late hours it's accommodating. If I request something specific, I get exactly that. I can't have too much salt and Nick's does use their fair share of salt. When I order the fried shrimp with mild sauce with light seasoning. I get exactly what I requested with great flavor and I don't have a migraine afterwards which is an awesome thing. read more

Nicks Gyros & Phillys - Fried shrimp, mild sauce with light seasoning. AWESOME! - New American Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Got the Gyro and Wings. Service as expected for fast food. Gyro was "real" gyro meat (not the pre-sliced, rectangular cafeteria junk) and pita was excellent. The tzatziki sauce was not my favorite. It seemed more like mayonnaise than normal. No feta on the gyro! If they redid the sauce and added feta, that would make it awesome. Overall good gyro and the best gyro I have had in Columbia area; the only one with freshly sliced gyro meat. The wings were, good and had good flavor. They are drowned in sauce, which is not my preference, but still were good. Ambiance leaves a lot to be desired, but that's not a big deal; I wasn't expecting much. read more

We've been here several times and the food is always tasty and they always get our order right. Gyros, phillies, fries, mushrooms, or wings. All good food. This is not fast food, but they get your order up fast!!! read more

I usually love Nicks, they have really fresh salads......tonight I went out on a limb to try their crab legs....one word...digusting. The crab legs were soft and soggy, more importantly I can tell they over steamed them in the microwave....I could tell because the meat was hard as a rock....the legs had green goo on the attaching joint....this is not the place to go for crab legs....yuck! read more
