Nick the Greek is opening its first East Texas restaurant in Tyler

The California-born Greek street-food chain is coming to 1575 S SW Loop 323 in The Shops at Tyler, on the West Loop just north of Sam's Club. Tyler residents Ricky and Lindsey Holt are the franchisees, and they told KNUE the plan is to open on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The menu is built around gyros carved from meat cooked in-house on a vertical rotisserie, plus charbroiled souvlaki skewers, pitas, bowls, salads, baklava and loukoumades. Founded in 2014 by cousins Big Nick, Little Nick and Baby Nick Tsigaris, the brand has grown past 100 locations in eight states. Tyler is its sixth in Texas and the first outside the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas.
