Huge portions. Great gyros.
Mary C.

My Dad and I checked them out on a recent road trip because it was close to the zoo and had good reviews. We were not disappointed--what a great local gem! The staff immediately greeted us. We placed our order easily. The menu had gyros, burgers, hot dogs and fried cheese curds (when in Wisconsin...) among other things. I went to the bathroom and to my surprise, our order was ready when I came back out. The portions were so big we could have split one gyro sandwich. I'm glad we only ordered one side of fries because we were stuffed! The gyros were delicious and not dry. I liked that that the cucumber sauce was served on the side because it can be messy. The fries were crispy and tasted hand cut. We loved our experience here & would definitely come back. The interior was retro cute with tin signs from old gas stations and license plates hanging on the wall and ceilings. It's connected to a gas station, but don't let that deter you. It's really cute and has a separate entrance. Was pleased that the staff thanked us and told us to have a great day on our way out. Even though I'm from out of state, I'll definitely recommend them to friends in the area or to travelers passing through Racine.

I went here on the recommendation of several people. I consider myself a bit of a gyro aficionado so I had to try it out. First off, it's part of a gas station but don't let that turn you away. The gyro - I got the original - was solid. I'd like to have the pita toasted a bit and the meat grilled a bit more. Also, for the size of the gyro, about 50% more tzatziki sauce would be perfect. That would up the rating. The fries were great. They simply come in the bottom of the paper bag underneath your gyro. The service was prompt and courteous. There are a few picnic tables outside the doors but that's it for seating. A lot of people were eating their gyros while sitting in their cars. These folks are far more talented than me. There was a constant stream of people through here on a Wednesday night between 7-8 pm.

BFG ... Big F'n Gyro. Enough for 3 ppl

Lots a gyro, lots of fresh cut fries! Highly recommend that this be your go to gyro place. Can't wait to thrift through the rest of the menu.

Huge Gyros! *sauce comes on the side in a small cup Get 2 cups!

I was just passing through, but needed something at the gas station so I decided to get a "little snack" here instead. But WOW biggest gyros I have ever had. I couldn't even finish it! Probably a lb of meat on that puppy. The wait was a little long, so call ahead if you're impatient or always in a hurry like me. Oh and get extra Greek sauce, it's to die for and more sauce is always a good thing. The funniest thing about this place- They are covid friendly, but no one working in the connecting gas station had masks on. So I went into Gus's without a mask on and they didn't say a thing about it, and treated me like normal. 5 stars for this place.

Half gyro with a side of cheese curds

My bae and I stopped here while in town visiting his family. It's actually attached to a gas station which I was a bit worried about at first, but the food ended up being pretty good. We shared a gyro which was more than enough food for the both of us. We also got a side of cheese curds. The curds could have used a bit more flavor, but they were overall still good. The price was a great deal too for the amount of food. A nice little dive spot with some decent food and they even serve beer. It's not Wisconsin if there's no beer or cheese curds!

Five star food and service. This family owned place delivers fresh and hot food so quickly every…read moretime. I am always leaving super full and satisfied. I highly recommend the Greek potatoes as a side. They're so lemon-y and buttery, and come as a large portion. I also really love the chicken kebab sandwich and I'm always so surprised how quickly they put it all together. The fresh pita bread tears apart in beautiful layers, the vegetables are rich with flavor, and the chicken is so juicy and well seasoned. I literally can't help but finish my entire plate when I order from here. The kebab sandwich also comes with a generous service of Tzatziki which balances out all of the rich grilled flavors. This is an area gem and I wish I had known about it earlier!

With so many (better than average) Mediterranean options around town, it's really hard to decide…read morewhich one should be considered good vs. average vs. bad. Nikkos offers a wide variety of food, not just Greek. Burgers, dogs, Italian beef, etc. I know from experience both Mediterranean and Middle Eastern places generally offer very good burgers, but I haven't personally tried Nikkos'. I must try them soon. What I *have* tried are Italian beef, gyro, and chicken, both in plate and sandwich forms. Gyro and chicken dishes did not disappoint. Their chicken kebab plate is my daughter's new go-to Greek dish, and I can personally attest to their gyro and tzatziki sauce. Super legit. Also, French fries are good. I've tried their Italian beef now twice, but both times I thought they didn't do a very good job getting rid of beef taint. Gravy was okay; nothing special. I'd personally put them right at the same level as Portillo's. It's got a very old-school diner feel to the place. Menus are displayed with pictures over the counter, making it super easy to read and order. As far as friendliness of the cashier goes, I'd rate them 3 of 5. I was greeted and tended by a very nice lady once, but it was two grumpy dudes the other time who were all business and no play. Nothing wrong with their work ethics or order accuracy or anything. They were just unpleasant. Just so I'm clear, these encounters don't usually deter my star ratings. More so an FYI. All in all, I'm happy with my Greek plates at Nikkos. I'll probably go back to try rest of the other menu items like shish kebab or even a burger.

We decided to dine outside on one of their patios. It was a little cooler than expected, but they had heat lamps going, which kept us nice and comfortable. Our waiter took our drink orders while we looked over the menu and tried to decide which starters we wanted to share. We ended up going with the Fried Kalamari and the Kataifi Shrimp. I had never tried their Kalamari before, but I already knew the shrimp was fire! Both starters were really good, and the Kataifi Shrimp was such a hit that we literally had to play rock-paper-scissors for the last one. For dinner, I went with the Shrimp Souvlaki, my friend ordered the Chicken Souvlaki, and the other got the Solomos. Everyone really enjoyed their meal, and every dish was packed with flavor. Each bite was delicious and made for a great dinner. By the time we finished, we were way too full for dessert, but honestly, we didn't mind. We had an incredible dinner, great food, and even better conversations with friends. I've enjoyed Avli in Chicago, and now I can add the Milwaukee location to the list. Definitely a great night out!

I got the sauce on the side. The texture of the roasted salmon was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, it was perfect. I would definitely come back and I plan to! I'd love to explore other items on the menu.

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Actually has a drive thru so how classy can it be. The restaurant has options for families and groups. Coming in here it looked like a regular casual restaurant where you order at the counter. It's one of those places you get the food brought out. There's also a bar area you can get beer and wine. For certain it's not the average fast casual. It's about $8 for a glass. Best we had was the Roditis, which is a rosé from Corinthia. It's about $8 for the Hummus. Comes with lots of pita bread. The rest of the menu is meaty. Great place located on Rand at Chestnut. It's closed Mondays. There's the hummus for vegetarians.

The place is clean, bright and cozy without being cramped. The service is friendly and helpful. The menu is not too big nor too small....just right. We ordered the spinach pie - flakey crust, delicious spinach & feta filling with herbs. Most definitely homemade fresh, not a frozen food service product. Gyro dinner with spinach rice and Greek potatoes - gyro meat was tender and not overly spiced/flavored like, once again, a nasty food service product. Potatoes were cooked perfectly. Soft and seasoned spot-on, obviously made fresh and not left dying under a heat lamp. The spinach rice was tasty but a bit salty. I can assume that since everything is fresh made this might just be a one-off. I am more than willing to try this dish again to test out this hypothesis. I definitely recommend. Please support this venue to assure that this option for an alternative to bar food in downtown Sycamore lasts for a long time to come

The chicken was super tasty and I loved the block of feta. Although, for 15.00, I could get double the salad and chicken and get pita bread at another local Greek restaurant. I would suggest adding more to the salad for the price of 16.50. I will try something different next time but I think my husband will stick with the Gyro dinner and we will just ask for more sauce and pita bread.
