It's tough to sum everything wrong with this place up in 2000 characters or less but I'll try. I would start by saying that if you're the type of person who drinks alot of whatever you're drinking whether it's water, soda, iced tea, etc. you'll be less than happy about the micro sized cups that constantly need to be refilled because they're honestly alot more appropriate for a Shoney's or other all you can eat place with a help yourself soda fountain. I asked our waitress if I could have my salad with just lettuce and tomato and onion and she informed me that the "chefs" don't let the servers touch the salads and so "special orders" like that weren't possible. What she meant to say was they serve bagged salad mix and in order to have a lettuce, onion, and tomato only salad would mean someone having to pick out shredded carrot, etc. The three people in my party sampled three different dishes and two appetizers. The dolmades, mozz. sticks, ravioli, lasagna, and a chicken dish. The pasta dishes would not have left Chef Boyardee's kitchen. The cheese sticks weren't bad, but the dolmades, ravioli, and lasagna's "meat" was on par with dog food. I ended up getting sick later that night and went down the road to a different Greek/Italian restaurant which always delivers, but I won't name names. This may sound over the top, but I literally left feeling like someone had robbed me. It isn't that they over promise and underdeliver or tell you they have the world's best Greek food, but it's poor none the less. It had been ten years since I was last there and it will be at least ten before I ever go back. Totally sub par place and for prices similar to the Olive Garden and other chain restaurants with average food, I would have rather gone to the average chain. There are much much better Greek places in town, and one is right down Parham from Nick's on Quioccasin. I'll never go back, and will just say there are much better restaurants to spend your money at.
Pros: At least the wait staff was friendly
Cons: Too many to count...food, ambience, value...two thumbs way down
