Nick's Food To Go sits just down the street from Oakland Cemetery, easy to spot thanks to the colorful graffiti and murals covering its exterior. It's a shoebox-sized takeout operation that's been running since 1994, and while the menu has shifted over the decades — it once included lasagna — the gyro has stayed put as the constant.
The gyro comes wrapped in fluffy pita, packed with long, thin strips of lamb, crispy lettuce, tomatoes, and a generous amount of tzatziki. The menu also stretches into other territory, including cheesesteaks, alongside its Greek-leaning core.
It's a no-frills, order-at-the-counter kind of place with a loyal following built over three decades, though service experiences among regulars have been known to vary.
