Looks Like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Dined at Carmel’s French Bistro La Bicyclette | Eater SF

"I learned the Nick the Greek empire continues expanding: the chain’s newest location is set to open Tuesday, May 7 at 2700 Pinole Valley Road in Pinole." - Dianne de Guzman

I eat here a lot, and usually everything is great. Just received my $15.25 bowl with only 4 pieces of chicken in it. I usually get the bowl with steak and it has quite a bit more meat. It does sometimes feel like they take advantage of those who order takeout, knowing they won’t notice this kind of thing until they get home and can’t do anything about it.

So I have a question, is the food supposed to be so hard? I've never had Greek food and probably never will again unless served from a plate from Hera herself. This is the saddest place for Greek roots. Please do better. Will never order again. 😆 the fries are cold and hard, the falafel are really hard and cold, the donuts are hard and cold. So is anything warm in this place or are they reflections of the hearts that work there. Cause yikes. Cold food is not worth $75. I am going to my bank for a refund. Disgusting.

$20 for a plate where the meat is supposed to be the main thing and u guys give about 2 small spoons of chicken…. yall rationing?I feel like it’s not worth what you pay for, i’ve gotten food from different nick the greeks and pinole before and have never gotten only this much meat

I’ve been to several Nick the Greek locations, but the one in Pinole truly stands out. From the moment I walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome (Thank you to the owner Sarina!). They were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. The food here is on another level compared to the other locations I’ve tried—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The gyro was packed with juicy meat, the pita was warm and soft, and the sauces had that authentic taste you hope for in Greek food. Everything tasted like it was made with extra care. Very rarely do you see an Owner of a brand the size of nick the greek actually in the store and taking care of customers!! It's fantastic. Amazing food, even better service—I’ll definitely be coming back!

Today was their grand opening in Pinole. The food was delicious and servings were good size.to fill us hungry patrons! Will definitely come back here. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Great service with a smile. We made friends while standing in line with Cambria and Shelly.

If I could leave a no-star review, I would. I love Nick the Greek, but this location is run by really lazy, cheap people. Customer service: Cashiers have always had an attitude; they don't pay attention while you're ordering and then when they do not hear you they get snippy. Food: Portions are OK but the flavor and care is just not there. I've ordered plates, salads, and gyros. Sloppily put together gyro with little protein and fries and way too much sauce. The plate was the chicken souvlaki- light skewers, too much rice and again sloppy. All of the proteins needed salt. Oh and if you do want a sauce or two after ordering 5 meals they still charged me 50 cents per sauce. Atmosphere: Bad vibes from the staff and seating is limited. Visit the Veranda location- it's better

Food is consistent with other nick the greeks. One complaint thought… You guyst list bottled sodas on doordash and uber eats but always send soda in a cup. I know you guys have bottled crush. Everytime you send soda in a cup while listing it as bottled uber eats gives me a refund for it. Please update your menu on delivery apps or start including the described option.

Love it, just like having a gyro in greece. Prior to visit greece this summer i decided to have a little taste and this restaurant didn't disappoint. Went to greece try several gyros and i can fully say they do a great job. Now that i miss greece i can comfortably go back anytime for a great gyro! Lukamades are available too. They gave us free greek yogurt just like greece.

On family rotation for delicious bowls and salads but the froyo with baklava is our favorite! Plus they are the sweetest and always so helpful

Aug 21, 2025 3.5 stars Our first visit. We stopped by for a Falafel Pita and a Lamb Gyro. Lamb has always been a big deal to me and I'm looking forward to this.. The cashier informs that the Gyro with lamb only comes with lamb and beef together. I agreed to the Lamb\Beef. I'll just seperate the lamb and beef at my table. The two items plus a Coke was $30.87. Not bad. The inside of the restaurant was a little hectic with two thirds of the tables seated with to-go food people. There is a man running back and fourth hectically, wearing jeans and an older T-shirt and a backwards baseball cap. I wonder if he works here? Our food is brought to us by the T-shirt man. Apparently he works here. He is hard working and very friendly but in my opinion he shouldnt be working in food service dressed as I dressed while working farm labor. My Wife digs into her Falafel with gusto. She says it tasts OK. I'm impressed with the size and weight of my Gyro. The sandwich is too wide for my mouth so I pull some meat out with my fork. Hum. I can't tell if this bite is beef or lamb? The texture is a little off as well. Sort of a processed food texture like faux bacon maybe or like well done fried spam? I eat further in through tomatoes and a few French fries and more meat. My wife won't eat lamb but wants a taste of my beef. We don't know what slice of meat is what so she goes without. I finish all the meat. Each slice tasted the same as the others. Hold On Chad P. The taste of these slices in my Gyro are bringing back a childhood memory. I was a Teenager-TV dinners- What is this taste on my tongue? YES! SALISBURY STEAK! It has a taste and texture of a 1970's TV dinner Salisbury steak. It seems as if Nick The Greek is serving up a lamb\beef blended together meat product. Big Disappointment. We were thanked for our business on the way out the door by that hard working friendly guy. That is something that too many establishments neglect to do. Good job on that! When I arrived home and looked at the on- line ordering details of this Beef and Lamb item, the description mentions something about this being a blend of meats. Unfortunately this information was not on the menu above the cashier.

Nicks just recently opened in Pinole and because of my absolute love of Greek food I had to check it out. The people working the counter and the cooks are very friendly and accommodating to changes. They really seem like they enjoy their spot in this place. The restaurant seating area and kitchen look very clean and organized. I had the chicken souvlaki pita and the Nicks French fries. and my wife had the hummus and pita with the yummy froyo as a treat. It was hot and delicious. I will return and try other menu items soon.

The Pinole location has the kindest staff with the warmest energy. Nick the Greek's frozen yogurt is literally all my family craves after a hearty dinner. The milky tart flavor and texture is ADDICTING - I kid you not we probably treat ourself twice a week.

Nick the Greek finally made it to Pinole! Located in the Trader Joe's parking lot and with inside seating this is the place to be . Lot of options from shwarmas, to gyros to Salads with different meat and veggie options . I love their Greek salad as well it's always fresh . Service is good and worth the effort. Recommended!

It was my first time trying Nick the Greek and it was pleasantly delicious and filling. I had a few questions about the menu and was given great costume service which I really appreciate. The place is spacious, has natural lighting and comfortable seating.

Best gyros in the area. The staff is nice and helpful. It's a cafe in a strip mall but it has always been quiet and peaceful when I have come.

first time ordering food here, needed more explanations !! I ordered the veggie pita, there was good amount of zuccini, onions & mushrooms plus fries ??Tasty but very messy - so much sauce & stuff was falling out towards the end ... We had a wobbly table towards the rear of the restaurant -so annoying, I wanted to put a pita under the bad leg !!! This space is neat & long, Minimalist w/ grey tones & Greek words ... The platter had pita slices on the bottom under the chicken & not so fresh fries on the side... it came w/a small side salad... our food was unceremoniously dumped on our wobbly table, no explanations ( we couldn't figure out who the salad belonged to ?) The food was ok, I might cOme back to try the falafel... The baklava was disappointing - flat, solid & heavy, hard to cut, not light & fluffy like I was expecting, but still tasty ....

If I could summarize this place in one word.. Fire!!! Go see for yourself ‍. The gyro was fresh and light on the stomach (maybe TMI)

They used to give really good portions in the cardboard bowls. They somehow changed them to these white bowls, and the serving sizes are tiny. Specially, the last two times that I went it made me realize that I'm not coming back to Nick the Greek anymore.

Nick the Greek never disappoints. The gyros are packed with flavor, the Greek fries are a must, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. The staff is super friendly and fast--makes you feel right at home. I absolutely live their froyos! Great spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Highly recommend!

This was a bad experience at Nick the Greek. It was our first time here and I was excited to try their limited edition chocolate shell froyo. My husband got the froyo with honey and baklava. Any topping is a dollar extra so our two froyos were $14. The owner made our froyo and it took about 20 minutes. We sat there waiting because the froyo machine was not ready. She also explained to me that there's something wrong with the temperature and the chocolate wasn't covering my froyo. What I got look like a bird pooped on my froyo. Instead of a hard chocolate shell, I got messy clumps everywhere that made it hard to eat. It was like eating a hard chocolate bar and trying to eat froyo at the same time. Not to mention that it was aesthetically hard on eye that it made it very unappetizing. We also ordered a side of falafels to go. This place is not cheap as two froyos and one side of falafels were over $20. It was a very long wait. As I was leaving, the owner gave me a handwritten coupon to come back for a free froyo explaining that it was not supposed to be like that. She gave me a small sample of how it was supposed to taste like. I wish my froyo tasted like the sample but unfortunately I spent half an hour waiting for a misshapen froyo. :(

Had the chicken gyro/souvlaki wraps, the chicken soup, and the froyo topped with baklava and they were pretty tasty! Pita was toasty, fluffy and fresh, meat and sauces were flavorful, veggies were fresh. Service was also very friendly. Ambiance is small but there are enough tables to dine in. Prices are a bit steep for a chain but definitely higher quality than fast food. Happy Pinole added more diverse food options and looking forward to more!

First off, great food! Now a little more detailed... Nick The Greek is located in the shopping center near Trader Joe's and next to Chipotle. There's plenty of parking but this is a rough parking lot with the Trader Joe's being there. You'll find parking but the traffic flow is rough with the lights. This spot is small and has a few tables and seats inside. You order at the counter and food will be brought to you or you can order for takeout. Great prices for really tasty and fresh tasting food! We ordered the pork belly gyro pita and the beef/lamb pita. The meat was full of flavor and the fresh veggies allowed for a great flavor combo along with the tzatziki sauce! They put plenty of sauce on there which made this sauce girlie happy! Plus a couple of fries are throw into the mix and it adds for a happy bite. Give this place a try!

Been here a couple times now. I like their Kabob plates with the rice. Their Pita Bread is some of the best I've had, light and fluffy and flavorful! They gave me a side of hummus which was real good, light and refreshing. I'd recommend getting the extra side of sauces they offer to go with the kabobs & pita. Def a satisfying experience so far

We were very happy to finally have Nick the Greek closer to us, but I was a little disappointed. The meats were good: pork and chicken were all juicy and tasty but the lamb was a bit lacking in flavor. The rice was really dry. The gyro plate definitely seem more worth it than a salad. The Greek salad entree didn't really have much veggies in it, about the same amount of veggie as the side salad! And also the Greek salad was over dressed and drenched in sauce on the bottom. If I go again I would only get the gyros and the gyro plates, those seem like better deals. Service was fine. Restaurant was clean. Bathroom was clean. Easy parking in the shopping center except during dinner time. On a side note, their catering seems to be pretty good. My company catered from them before and everything was fresh and portion size seems pretty good.

Food here is always very tasty and love that the ingredients taste very fresh especially on the fries those seasonings are so good. I've had the nicks fries with lamb/beef every time but today I decided to get it with chicken souvlaki and I'm liking it a lot more with the chicken. They cut it a little smaller which I like it makes it easier to eat. Never have to wait long here but I also only really order online and pick up because I normally get it for lunch or for the family dinner for the night. Were craving this place at least once a week at this point lol I had previously given this place a lower rating because of a gripe with portions (one order out of 6 times so it was definitely a one off thing but bought that as gifts for coworkers) and they reached out and very very kindly refunded my order without me even asking, I respect their commitment and it's impeccable customer care/service.

Had to try this location in Pinole and it was pretty good :) The great thing about this location specifically is the hours, they opened until 11PM the day i came in when most places were closed. The inside is small, so it doesn't really accommodate for big parties. The customer service was pretty good, the service was fast and friendly! The Nicks Fries i got were pretty good, I would just say the main concern was that there wasn't much meat on it. The lamb pieces were small and dry, so they were like little crispy pork belly pieces. I also thought the fries could have been seasoned a little more. Otherwise, i look forward to trying out more from this place! It does tend to get busy in the area as there are other popular businesses nearby, so i'd suggest going a little early to get food to avoid traffic delays.

The food at Pinole Nick the Greek is pretty fantastic. I love a good salad, and have tried all 3 that they offer. The Tahini Crunch Salad is my favorite. I love how they separate the protein from the salad. Whenever I have leftovers I can easily heat up my left over protein and throw it on the rest of n salad. With that being said the food portions are large. Which I can appreciate! The food always tastes fresh. And they have great options for my whole family. Super glad Nik the Greek came to Pinole. (I've tried other locations and this one has been the best).

A Nick the Greek in Pinole!!! I've been lagging on trying other Nick locations but since I have one nearby, supporting my local business. The service is great, since it's newly opened. Lots, and I mean a lot of employees eager to help. Not sure how long that will last but it does help with getting orders completed. Family was not as hungry so we limited our venture to small sizes for taste testing. We were not disappointed! The beef & lamb kids plate, beefteki pita, and (free) baklava [download the app and sign up] all flavorful and delicious. Even got a sample taste of their froyo with baklava and the small bite was sweet and balanced. Will definitely come here often and get larger sizes. Only con was using the app and the timing of when the order was ready. It said ready at certain time but still had to wait another 15mins for my order. I think it would have been quicker to order in person but also I'd miss out earning points and free goodies.

I came in to get their plain froyo which I heard had a sweet tartness to it. I really liked it and my parents did too after trying it for the first time. It tastes like Pinkberry froyo. Will come back to try the food. Service was friendly.

The food here is pretty good. The falafel bowl and the wraps are fire. I love the bowls. They are filled with basmati rice, lettuce, cucumbers , tomatoes and drizzled with sauce.

Was looking for something fresh and healthy after a weekend of eating junk food in Vegas. I convinced my boyfriend to FINALLY try Mediterranean and I'm so glad we came here. We ordered the chicken souvlaki plate and we loved every bit of it. The chicken was well seasoned and everything tasted fresh. Our playes were almost $17 and included the chicken, rice, Pita bread, tzatziki sauce and a little side salad. We ate at home but the place has a couple tables for those wanting to eat there. Food was prepared quickly after I placed an online order and I was in and out within 5 minutes. Will definitely come here again.
