| - I was surprised to find that Nick's wasn't a traditional diner. in the last month the availability of greek / mediterranean food in surprise has increased by 200% a trend I'm quite fond of.
expecting american traditional food I suggested Nick's knowing they recently opened their doors. We arrived to find they have a variety of greek, mediterranean, italian dishes, as well as traditional american including many diner staples and deli sandwiches on their menu. from appearances there's not a lot to look at, the space is pretty barren other than a central counter and a condiment station in the corner, however the space appeared to be very clean. Our server was very attentive and polite despite being the only server, and refilled our drinks regularly. After recently trying the also newly opened Greek Corner I was anxious to have a Gyro face-off. I ordered the Gyro dinner which includes choice of salad, soup or coleslaw as well as bread service. I ordered the soup which was a chicken, rice and lemon juice soup, it was actually very enjoyable and well made. The bread was a crisp bread served with a plate of garlic cloves in olive oil which again was not bad. My dinner arrived with a large portion of Gyro meat, Feta and tzatziki. Which brings me to the only thing that mildly bothered me.
As with most greek dishes they are served with a mountainous portion of rice pilaf, this was no different however they seem to put a red I can only guess sweet marinara / tomato sauce on the rice, and not just a drizzle in the middle, my rice was pretty much drenched in what tasted like marinara. I've had greek food hundreds of times in my life and I never recall anytime having marinara on the pilaf. it might actually be pretty good to some, but I'm also the type when I eat spaghetti I only put a minimal amount of sauce on my spaghetti so this may just be a matter of preference.
the only reason I subtract points is because this was not stated on the menu. Other than that the Gyro meat was generously served, thick and very tasty. I would order the dish again but would ask they omit the sauce next time.
Additonally their breakfast menu looks very tempting, Melissa was pining over an old man's omelette at the table across from us most of the time we were there and we both plan to come back for breakfast.
Did I mention the prices. the two of us had 2 entrees including bread, soup and drinks for just over $20 the same Gyro dinner would have cost $15 at some other restaurants. almost no dinners are more than $10, breakfast items average $5-$7 the same with lunch items.
I'm anxious to try breakfast at Nick's as well as some of their more traditional faire, and hope to add Nick's into our rotation.
