This cozy gem serves up outstanding gyros and Mediterranean delights with a no-frills vibe—perfect for a quick bite on the go.
"Most people have passed by Nick's, misinterpreting its character and depth as just another building in Grant Park. They couldn't be more mistaken. Nick's Food To Go is a family-run restaurant that's been around for more than 20 years. They serve authentic, fresh and beautiful Greek food and tzatziki sauce you'll want to bathe in. You order outside and eat on the park tables with a wonderful view of their garden and parking lot. Don't just drive by again. Stop and treat yourself to the gyro you deserve." - Matchstic
"Ben Skolnick (BoccaLupo) and Jared Warwick’s (Octopus Bar) rhyming pop-up started off as a joke, but their most recent project, the Blue Blood series, is more than enough proof that their collaboration has serious merit. Part supper club and part tasting menu, each Blue Blood course comes paired with a drink — think Parmesan frico, cheese soup, and broccolini paired with a mezcal pepper cocktail that provides an entirely different type of smokiness; arrabbiata pasta accompanied with fluffy lobster and dusted with a fine breadcrumb served with Riesling; romanesco and slightly gritty foie gras mousse served with Pinot Gris for a union of crucifer, richness and minerality. Keep up with Wick and Nick’s, and all future events, on Instagram. Reservations required." - Eater Staff, Henna Bakshi
"Ben Skolnick (BoccaLupo) and Jared Warwick’s (Octopus Bar) pop-up supper club series pushes boundaries with both its multi-course food and drink pairings. Examples include Parmesan with mezcal, arrabbiata sauce with lobster and Riesling, and romanesco with foie gras mousse. If you get full halfway through, just let someone know — they’ve got plenty of containers on hand to take stuff home, and the courses so more than hold up the next day. The grapefruit sorbet, paired with warm brie and citrus, is a statement-making closer. Keep up with Wick and Nick’s, and all future events, on Instagram. $125 per person. Reservations required." - Beth McKibben, Sarra Sedghi
"Nick’s Food to Go is a family-owned-and-operated Greek restaurant that has built up a loyal following since its opening in 1994. Known for its gyros and famous Greek lasagna, the restaurant has faced many threats of closure due to nearby property developments. Despite these challenges, it remains a beloved spot for locals and workers near the Georgia capitol building. Recently, the restaurant temporarily closed for a parking lot renovation and due to a death in the family of an employee, but it is set to reopen in September." - Beth McKibben
"Located on the corner of MLK and Hill Street on the edge of Grant Park, Greek sandwich shop Nick’s Food to Go features a takeout window on the side of the building in the parking lot. The 25-year old restaurant continues to serve some of the city’s best gyros, along with its famous “Greek lasagna.”" - Beth McKibben
