WOW! LETS GO! Anothy and Riley are soooo welcoming I walked by and he greeted me and made sure I understood the menu and was quick with service. Thanks again Anothy. I come fully from a background of restaurants so I understand the hustle: very proud this is in san Clemente and I can come here now. If you want a CLEAN meal then come here read more

This place was absolutely delicious! The service was fantastic. My boyfriend had never tried Greek food before, and the woman at the front was incredibly helpful and patient while walking us through our order. The music and décor created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and made for a really enjoyable meal. Unfortunately, another customer came in and was shockingly rude to her, but she handled the situation with grace and professionalism. Huge credit to her for staying so composed -- truly 10/10 service. If it weren't for that disruptive guest, our experience would have been absolutely perfect. I'm so sorry he ended up souring what should have been a great morning for everyone. read more

Food was good. I got the bogo offer on offer up. Unfortunately for them I've been there before and they definitely went easy on the proteins and meal size. And I got the tiniest cup of hummus as my 6 dollar side. Crazy!! read more

Such fresh and hearty food options! My friend and I were looking for a quick lunch with healthier options and Greek food sounded amazing! We were also pleasantly surprised with the generous portion and the food delivered in less than 10 minutes. The gyro bowl is absolutely delicious! It's nice that the restaurant has tables inside and is clean; this is not your average pay at the cash register and sit-down place, because the food was of great quality! Highly recommend! read more

Nick the Greek - Mediterranean Bowl with chicken. - Mediterranean Near Me - San Clemente, California

I asked for tzatziki sauce on the side and somehow I ended up with a ton of creamy mayonnaise over everything. It's really too bad because I've eaten at this chain before and it's pretty solid. Won't be going back here again. The photo I took is literally me just taking it out of the wrap and opened it up. It was leaking all over the place. It was so gross. Unfortunately, this is the second bad meal. I've gotten here. I really regret giving it another chance and wasting my money. read more

Nick the Greek - Chicken Slovakia - Mediterranean Near Me - San Clemente, California

My first time to this place. I have seen them around So Cal. First off the parking can be a little tight, but the food is worth it. I got the pork belly gyro plate with fries. First time for pork belly gyro, it was good, but going back to the lamb gyro. The fries and salad were good. The fries tastes like In-N-Out's. The price - $18 w/o a drink which is normal for around here. The service was nice and quick. The lady at the register had never tried the pork belly but said it was good. The atmosphere was clean. I'd return and try something different. read more

First time eating at Nick The Greek ("NTG"). While I I was initially excited to try their food, my excitement was short lived. Ordered chicken souvlaki with rice and side salad. Visually, it was obvious the chicken skewers were previously frozen (char marks on one side only, freezer burn). Flavor was non-existent - bland would be a compliment. The counter where orders are placed is so close to the front door, 3 person line is backed out the door. Inside was a kluge, including an empty table near the entrance, no chairs, just a random table. Service was fast (Red Flag), too quick to properly cook chicken which supports my earlier comment Re: frozen pre-cooked chicken. Another disappointing Sysco resto. Save yourself time and money... read more

Another decent visit at Nick the Greek. We came to share agyros sandwich and fries. We think it's plenty of food but that's just our opinion. My only issue is that there's actually too much sauce on the pita. Next time, I'm definitely ordering it on the side. The meat was a little chunky and not necessarily shaved pieces. I'm not sure if that's the standard. It made it a little bit harder to eat. The fries were hot and crisp. The cashier/order taker was super friendly and helpful. Location was clean. Plenty of parking out front. read more

Mediterranean bowls were delish. As well as the hummus and pita bread. Yum! Also the fresh made iced beverages were refreshing!

This is a fast food Greek restaurant in a shopping center and it's fine if you like chicken thighs and souvlaki and pita bread. I picked up a chicken plate for the bf and he said it was okay. The staff is nice and they are efficient so that's a plus! I wanted some baklava but it's not gluten free so I saved myself 1,000 calories instead. Whewwww read more

Great food! Mediterranean bowl was a combination of a lot of great flavors! Great service and ambiance as well!

Authentic Greek fare, served up by friendly, understanding staff. The venue is clean, upscale and plenty of seating. Everything I have tried has exceeded my expectations. Medium price level for high quality Greek dishes. read more

I ordered a chicken wrap with some fries. Their fries are soggy and salty that I had to throw them away. When I looked at the chicken wrap, these soggy fries were also in it so I had to pick them out. I love tzatziki sauce on Greek food but their wrap had some yellowish mayo sauce instead which was very disappointing. Their meat was tough and overall food was not Greek in my opinion. read more

The hummus was awful. It tasted sour and not like real authentic Greek hummus at all. The chicken kabob was half burnt and at the bottom was tons of grease which I cannot and would eat due to health reasons. So we spent the money and had to throw it all away. A total waste. I would never come here again or recommend it to anyone. I love Greek/Mediterranean food, but this was not it in the slightest. Horrible experience. I'd give it negative zero stars if I could. What a shame. read more

Attended the grand opening in San Clemente today. The line was out the door with people anticipating the free tasting menu. The service was outstanding considering the large crowd all patiently waiting in line. Every staff member i interacted with had a bug smile on their face. The location has plenty of parking and the restaurant itself, has plenty of seating available. I tried the souvlaki plate, to go. It comes with chicken, rice or fries, tzatziki, pita bread and a side salad. While waiting for my food, i was mesmerized by the work of the kitchen staff. The food was being prepared expertly and quickly. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. The chicken was moist and flavorful, the rice fluffy and also flavorful. The salad with the greek dressing was refreshing. The meal was a perfect, lunchtime experience. I highly recommend Nick the Greek for the food, friendly staff and excellent service. read more

This was my very first time visiting this franchise and I'm so addicted! The gyro bowl and the baklava was so yummy!

My family loves Mediterranean food, so we had high hopes, but unfortunately, this place was a disappointment. Starting with the positives: I had the beef/lamb gyro. While I requested no onions, they still came with the order, so I had to pick them out. The flavor was okay, but the gyro was soggy and lacked the freshness I expected. My wife ordered the steak bowl and felt the seasoning on the meat was off, leaving an overpowering garlic aftertaste. Now for the bad: My son's chicken skewer kids' meal was inedible. The chicken was pink and clearly undercooked. The fries were limp and soggy, which made them equally unappetizing. Sadly, we won't be coming back and wouldn't recommend this spot to others. read more

We NEED more places in San Clemente, so was so excited when this opened up. It's a chain, so you kinda know what you're getting, but they have good service and solid food. The first time I went it was actually a bit crazy (I think one of the employee's kids was there and running around, which is understandable, but made it a bit... unique). The second time (this time), they seem to have really leveled up their act. Great staff. Great food. Great experience. read more
