Niko's Grille (Lexington, VA)

Niko’s Grille is a small Greek restaurant in the cute old downtown of Lexington, a college town in the western part of Virginia. It has a no-thrills interior and is run by a fairly dominant Greek owner (Niko?). The large menu is a mix of American and Greek dishes with a remarkable selection of seafood.

I go for the classic, i.e. the Gyro Sandwich ($7.95). The pita was toasted too long and there was relatively little meat (which comes from the well-known Kronos company). That said, the taste was quite decent. The fries were like Burger King, crispy but airy and artificial.

VERDICT: 80/100

Niko’s offer decent Greek food, which is quite good for a small US town.
