Nik's Place reopened after being closed for the last two years. Calf Pasture Beach is right down the street, and this fast Greek restaurant is known for its gyros, souvlaki, and other Greek dishes, as well as burgers, hot dogs, and seafood. The menu also features a wide range of salads, including Caesar, Greek, and steak tip salads, as well as shakes. I was passing by Nik's, and I needed lunch, so I stopped by since I saw people at the establishment. I ordered a Cheesburger and French Fries. The order came out in about fifteen minutes, and everything is made to order. The Cheesburger was solid and well-seasoned. The French Fries were a bit expensive for their size at 4.75, but everything is getting expensive these days. The locals seemed excited about its opening because a group started forming to order. This is a great place if you need something to eat on the way to the beach, or you want to hang out with family and friends. The customer was great, and the owners really take pride in their community. read more

So happy they reopened! The food is always good. If you're looking for a cute place to grab at good burger and fries that reminds you of the good old days when life way simple. This is it. read more

Taken aback that this place reopened. Had been coming here every day before going down to norwalk cove and safe to say I shed a tear when I heard it was closing down. Got the California Burger and it did not disappoint, for 7$ you won't find a better burger. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this spot off the side of the road! We got a regular cheeseburger and the Caifornia burger (Jack cheese, avocado, cilantro, chipotle sauce, lettuce, tomato, onions). Food was spectacular - and for less than $5, I couldn't believe it. Cherry on top: decided to try the ice cream waffle sandwich the cashier recommended: SO worth it. Two freshly made waffles, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside - with yummy vanilla ice cream nestled in between. Highly recommend! read more

Perfect place to stop by to or the way back from the beach, everything we had was fried to perfection and not expensive either, think it's was only about $5 for an order or 6 mozzarella sticks and they were some of the best I've had. Also got chili cheese fries which hit the spot and will absolutely try the disco fries next time we're around there read more

We were pretty hungry today and we wanted to get something to eat before we went to beach. During these times it can hard to find a place to eat. Saw the pictures and this place was close to us so we decided to give it a try, the food here is great. We got a gyro and fish and chips, both are amazing. I love for crispy the fries are and gyro was packed with flavor. I know next time we are in town we have to eat here again. For me the next thing to try will a burger. The dude taking the orders is super chill and gave us some good local knowledge. read more

The gyros are wonderful, a real treat. Always grab one when I'm down that way. It never disappoints. I've been going there for gyros for easily 25 years. Love it. read more

Good place to stop near the Calf Pasture Beach. There's limited parking in front, apparently more in the back. Although it was early Sunday lunch, we ordered platters, fried clams for me, fish and chips for my companion. The fried clams were lightly battered thin strips, tender and perfectly cooked. The french fries underneath were also good, but they were ever so slightly soggy from sitting under the strips. The fried fish tasted fresh. Seems like they use good, fresh oil for frying. The cole slaw was sweet, could have been commercial. An unsweetened ice tea tasted home made. Overall, an enjoyable stop, even if the view from the tables is of the street. read more

Great spot to stop for lunch on the way to/from the beach. Had the gyro and onion rings. Gyro was good and tasty. The onion rings were great, thick, crispy, and well done. Planning on going back again soon to try other items on the menu, with onion rings of course. 4 Picnic tables with umbrellas out front or take it with you to calf pasture beach. They're located right before fifth street. Plenty of parking on the street plus they have a small lot in back. read more

It might be hard to miss, but if you're in the area you need to check it out. Classic, walk-up style dining, with outdoor seating. The man taking orders offered to refill my soda even though I was taking my order to go, as he had seen me drinking it while waiting for my food, which came as a very pleasant surprise to me. The burger I ordered was terrific, they do not skimp on the bacon at all, although I would recommend getting a double burger if you're coming on an empty stomach, the patties are smaller, however the prices reflect that, as it's very cheap for a burger compared to other places. Overall a great place with a great environment, and I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in the area again! read more

I stopped here in October for a quick lunch. I ended up getting a burger and fries and I was very pleasantly surprised. This is the burger and fries you would get at the beach snack shack, or a country fair. It is a 100% normal burger and good old American french fries. Both were cooked perfectly. And it was cheap! I would recommend this place to anyone that is tired of all of the fake hamburgers and fries out there- I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu. read more

Delicious burgers at Nik's Place with nice touches like the lettuce and tomatoes are very fresh. This place always has a line and I know why. We'll be back to try something else. read more

Very good burgers and fries. I always have a good bite to eat and I'll stop by whenever I'm on my way to the beach read more

6 STARS!! This is my kids favorite place, I love the fish tacos, the California burger and pretty much everything else I can't say enough about the guys who work here they are the best human beings and thats why I love coming here and the milkshakes are the best!! read more

This place is a " must stop" for true aficionados of burgers and dogs. Their burgers are fresh, not frozen and can be ordered pink. The sandwiches are consistent and served with care and a smile. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but if you stop once you'll be back !! read more

Best chili in Norwalk! And burgers are awesome too! Something for everyone. Including great ice cream and milkshakes!

In the year 1999, at the ripe age of 6, my Grandfather took me to a Dive-Bar. Leaving all the decision-making up to my Grandpa, he ordered me a cheeseburger. "You're a man now," he said, upgrading me from the junior menu to the regular sized orders. It was my first experience with all the extras; lettuce, tomato, onions, and ketchup. I remember taking the first bite of this burger and experiencing something so wonderful. Unfortunately to put a hiccup in the story, the Dive-Bar was not Nik's Place, nor do I think Nik's was even open in 1999. However, the first time I ate their burger it tasted so similar, I was able to relive this memory. The flavorful bite of the patty, delectable crunch of the onion and lettuce, softness of the bun, it was a blissful deja vu. Thank you for your wonderful burgers Nik's place. Looking forward to share your food with those close to me. read more

Local small burger joint. I've had the California burger with avocado - decent burger for a couple bucks. Also have enjoyed a chicago dog here. The fish sandwich was a surprise - very good. For a cheap tiny stand give it a try - above average read more

My four year-old and I stopped by during a day out for lunch & ice cream; the prices were great and the food was awesome! Will definitely be back! read more

Disappointed in this place, given the glowing reviews. The fish and chips may have been prepared fresh but I couldn't tell. The breading of the (small) pieces was thick and heavy. Actually the worst fish and chips I've had in a long time. I ended up eating them by hand because the cheap plastic cutlery couldn't get through the coating. Fries not very good either. Many scavenging sparrows didn't contribute to the experience. Given the other reviews I might give it another try but I would get a hamburger and I would not eat them there. read more

Good gyros with tasty meat. They don't serve lettuce with them which is a little weird. Still a hit.

I enjoyed this place. I went yesterday for lunch and the food was so good I tried to go for dinner but they were closed. Very kid friendly. Prices are the best in norwalk. Thank you for such good service. read more

Tasty cheap beach food from fabulous people, be sure to save room for the waffle ice cream sandwich!

I love Nik's place. I've been coming here as far back as I can remember. I love the Gyros and other greek fare, but the menu has all kinds of familiar stuff. Great place to grab a bite if you are in the area or if you are heading to the beach for the day. Parking can be a bit of a pain depending on when you go so I usually try to park along the street. Service is quick and polite. read more

Niks is a staple of my summer!! The clam strips and chicken fingers are the absolute best around. Great little food joint for comfort food.

Unassuming at first glance, this roadside hatch is a Norwalk institution and offers a huge array of indulgent treats. Run by a Greek family who have been in the neighborhood since the 60s, Nik's offers simply the best gyro you're going to find in Fairfield County -- their Chicken Souvlaki is tangy and fresh, and all the other Greek specialties live up to the motherland. Despite specializing in Greek cuisine, Nik's also makes great clam rolls, lobster rolls, burgers, and fries; the sheer variety of different stuff on offer is awesome. Their main competition in the neighborhood when it comes to seafood is Overton's: when you try both, it's a comparison that flatters Overton's, because despite being a little less well known, Nik's is far superior and less pricey. The staff are always happy and will joke around with the customers and really make you feel welcome. I've learned a lot about the Greek bailout from Hercules and on my days off I sometimes catch Mrs. Nik (sic), the original owner's wife, who's taught me all about the Orthodox church and the old days back in Greece. I couldn't picture my neighborhood without Nik's. Their right at the end of my road, and so the temptation is always palpable! read more

This is a stand I have been going to all my life, a Norwalk institution. A family run business that continues to operate in the fair weather months. A grilled cheese pita with lettuce and tomato from Nik's taste's awesome, and says summer as much as 90 degree weather and extended daylight. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Ordered fish and chips. Too much food. Delis. I would recommend to anyone who wants fresh food.

I grew up in Norwalk and passed this place all the time going to and from the beach. Never went because I always thought it was just burgers and fries. We went for a walk at the beach recently and stopped here for lunch. They had lots of variety and options, the people were friendly and the chicken souvlaki was amazing! Should have tried it sooner. read more

Not the greatest food - but its right by the beach, quick and a decent selection.

I ordered The Brownie and it was pretty good. I'd say that the best part about it was the ice cream as it is so soft and melts in your mouth. The chocolate and the brownie weren't nearly as good as the chocolate . read more
