Love this place, food is served very fast and hot every time. Service is on point and can't say enough about the prime rib french dip. And you won't believe how amazing the complimentary soups are, some of the best I ever had. Must try.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. It's a typical diner but the food is decent. Try the black and blue burger you won't regret it.

Food is always great here. Fast for lunch, big portions. It's close by work so we go often. Service is usually ok but it depends on which server you get. I see a lot of people order breakfast for lunch. Looks good but I usually order the buffalo chicken salad and its devious. It's a huge salad and cones with a choice of soup. The lemon chicken soup is great and not to salty. They give you free dessert. I tried it once and didn't care for it but it's a great deal for your money.

We were craving a home cooked breakfast while in Orlando and definitely were EXTREMELY satisfied with this place. From the servers to the food, 5-Star! Lebby was our awesome server and Angela, Nick's sister, welcomed us like we were in her home. Thank you and will make sure to stop by again whenever in Orlando. The omelets to die for! Must try the corned beef hash omelet.

Masterfully executed American classics in a homey, throw-back 80's atmosphere. Had the Country Benedict with biscuits, spicy breakfast sausage, perfectly runny poached eggs and lots of country gravy. Service is not perfect, and most breakfast options lack fresh fruit or vegetables, but then again, this place is not for the health-conscious.

The portions are huge and the food is fresh and delicious. Go healthy with a veggie omelet or spoil yourself with stuffed French toast. The coffee is on point and service was excellent. A solid American diner in Florida.

My most true measuring stick for a potential new breakfast place....the Holandaise/benedict...here was not made to order but good so Im still giving high marks because everything else was very good. Huge bonus points the desert was 100% fresh and from scratch in house. Highly recommended because I get that they care about what they serve here and the service was great, fast and friendly. Bring your friends!

Whent there on advice from a friend that can not stop talking about this diner. So I figured I would give it a try Saturday afternoon went with my family very very busy waited 5 minutes at the door and was pleasantly greeted by my very nice waitress( Christine I believe) at the table. Now I know why my friend raves about this place had the short ribs and shrimp and was completely blown away. my wife had the chef salad she says it was the best she ever had and still has half in the refrigerator, portions are huge Service excellent and a very clean establishment. food was on the table with in 10 minutes of sitting down. This is a very well oiled machine. Cashier ask me how everything was and to feel free to give Nicks a review on Yelp or TripAdvisor and I feel this was worth signing up for so here it is. Worth the 30 min drive no question.

My in-laws and I had to go to Orlando International to pick up my husband the other morning, and I wanted to find a new place for breakfast, so I looked on Yelp and saw this place had great reviews. There is a place across OBT from this place called Vick's, and the fancy lettering kind of looks like Nick's, so be careful you don't turn in there like we nearly did! Nick's is on the east side of OBT. When we came in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Lebby was our waiter, and he stayed on top of things the whole time, so service there is great if he's any indicator! One in our party ordered scrambled eggs well done, and the rest of us got eggs over medium. With the exception of one of my eggs coming out with the yolk overcooked, the others were done perfectly. I had a biscuit with gravy along with my eggs, and the gravy had a very good flavor. The potatoes for the home fries are cut like scalloped potatoes, and we think of home fries as having chunks of potato, so that was something we weren't too crazy about. We had them cook onions in the home fries since they don't normally do it that way. All in all, very good food, because they make it from scratch like it should be. However, I do not recommend the large cookies by the register. They looked good, but they were very dry and crumbly, and I had to throw it away. It is definitely worth going back, and I'd like to try their lunch food sometime as well.

This is an old school diner in an old Pizza Hut building. It is quaint by diner standards. The remodel is not bad. I have eaten here twice and had pretty good comfort food both times. The owners are very nice and have been in the bizz for well over 20 years. The staff work hard and do a good job. The place gets pretty busy during peak times so get there early or wait in line a bit. If you like Mom and Pop places this is a good one... Have fun.
I'm on vacation from NJ and looked up the top ten breakfast places in Orlando. Nick's Family Diner was ranked number 2. We went here expecting great food and we were not disappointed. I ordered the Country Benedict, two poached eggs over sausage patties on freshly baked biscuits and smothered in country gravy. Wow this was amazing! The service was excellent as well. If you are tired of chain restaurants while on vacation then you should definitely check this place out.

the place is always crowded on weekends so I thought I would give it a try. The service was outstanding, very quick and personable. The soup(which is a giveaway with any sandwich) was EXCEPTIONAL- I had the buffalo chicken, which was a good thing because there are no substitutions. I ordered the RUBIN which was a total disappointment, the meat looked and tasted like lunch meat- poor quality like LAND OF LAKES OR BUDDING. IT SEAMED LIKED FUSED PROCESSED PIECES PARTS!. the fries tasted like grease. when I brought the rubin to the attention of the lady at checkout she got MAD said" I dont give away free food, you should have told your waitress". I explained I was not asking for nor looking for free food. Her attitude was deploring. I told her the same thing I wrote here and she said" I sell 10 of them a day they are one of our featured items." SAD!!! TWO dollars off( the price of the beverage) verses the NINE dollars for a terrible sandwich would have been appropriate! On the bright side my dogs loved the sandwich so all wasn't wasted My husband had eggs which were very good, bacon which was flavorless, and biscuits and gravy again no flavor. oh and hash browns that were very greasy. So to recap Great service from the wait staff, big portions, some good some terrible food. I will not go back! . check out staff had a bad attitude.

Came today and its a bit busy so i figured id stay b.c it must be worth it with it being so crowded so i gave my name young lady said it will be 15 mins 30 mins later still my name wasnt called so i asked and then was seated a few moments later. Food was pretty good , only bad expierence is a dirty cup and the long wait id go back if it wasnt so crowded

I love this place. I strongly suggest coming hungry! Pros: - Service is quick - Staff is friendly - Food is delish - Portions are big (always have leftovers) - Good prices Cons: - Coffee is typical just ok - if you don't get there by 11 on the weekend the specials are typically sold out - Not Centrally located - No real healthy options Highly recommend getting one of the specials you can never go wrong.

Nick's is a regular spot for us on weekends for a late breakfast or lunch. The food is very reasonably priced, they have an excellent selection, and the food is delivered hot and fresh with lightning fast speed. The service is usually amicable and the food is usually pretty good. It's no gourmet kitchen, but you really can't beat it for breakfast/lunch. My only complaint/suggestion is paying for your meal. They have one register at the front and sometimes it takes forever (they are often having issues with the credit card machine). During particularly busy times, the line can back up to pay and it can take longer to check out than it did to eat. Perhaps they should start allowing their servers to accept payment. Otherwise, I highly recommend Nick's. I wish they were open in the evenings for dinner.

Bill K.
We gave this spot a try when one of our usual haunts was closed for remodeling. I had the Bananas Foster French toast with home fries and bacon. The wife had hash and eggs with hash browns. Portion sizes were quite generous and the coffee was very good. Plusses were portion size for certain. Also, the French toast was quite tasty. The home fries were thins sliced, while my preference is for the chunky variety. Bacon was thin, and straight out of the pack. My wife found the hash and eggs quite pleasant, but the gravy provided was in need of seasoning and tasted a bit like flour. All in all, pretty decent food. They screwed up our drink order and were slow with a refill, so that cost them the fourth star. Will likely give another try.

Crystal H.
I love the food here. It's a typical diner menu, similar to Christo's in College Park, but the food has way more flavor in my opinion. The service is decent, the prices are typical, and the food comes fast. I think serve the best hash browns in Central Florida Not into the sharing charge for sharing a humongous plate of food that I couldn't finish myself even I wanted to, I think it's pretty bogus. Other than that, it's pretty legit. Check it out.

I read about Nick's on Yelp. I went for lunch with a couple of co-workers. This place has amazing food. Everything there is made fresh on the premises. The waitress found out it was the first time we've ever been there and shortly after the owner came over to talk to us. I'm planning on making Nick's Family Diner a weekly visit. SECRET: Try the Greek Omelette and some olives. Yum. Breakfast served all day. You can't go wrong.

Hope R.
We had the buffalo chicken soup and the lemon chicken soup, both were very good. The liver and onions (I was told) were delicious according to my spouse. I had the 'Rachael' it's the Rueben's sister sandwich made with a very generous portion of pastrami in place of corned beef. It was delicious. The eclair you get for dessert as part of the meal was yummy, but stay away from the lemon merengue cake. I'm a merengue fan, usually. Can't wait to go back and try the 'po boy prime rib sandwich' We arrived when they cleaning and filling for the end of the shift and had to ask for everything, extra napkins, water, extra lemons etc. I don't mind paying an up charge for sweet potatoes in exchange for regular fries, but I think the wait staff could've told us when we ordered it. If the service was a little more attentive I would've given 5 stars. The service was not poor, just barely average but, most certainly, could've been better.

Just like any diner. I ordered the gyro. Meat is thickly sliced with tomatoes, onions and tzatziki. Kinda skimped on my tzatziki, still good, but as a Greek I love me some tzatziki! Next time I'll ask for extra! The spanakopita looked so amazing! It took up the entire plate! Def worth two helpings. The chicken lemon soup or avgolemono was okay. Tasted like a mix of canned soup and homemade. Will come back to try more.

Gale C.
I love Nick's for Breakfast on a Sunday, the service is fast and great. Real homemade food. The french toast is so delish and thick. Pancakes are pretty awesome too. I sometimes get a omelette as they are really good with many choices to choose from. They get crowded on a Sunday so if you have to wait don't worry it's worth the wait and they are fast so you won't be waiting to long.

Susan S.
I was hesitant to go to Nick's, I don't love this area. I wish i had been here sooner! the servers couldn't have been nicer ( and we went near closing time, i had expected service to be a little annoyed) the food was interesting, i had an omelette wrapped in a tortilla with spinach, dill, feta and scallion. wow! it was incredibly awesome. all our food was fresh, hot and delicious. We'll be back here, a lot. i wish they'd move to downtown College Park..

Just had the Guiness beer battered shrimp platter - Wow!!! You could smell the sweet fragrance of the Guiness beer in the batter when the server put the basket on the table. Fast friendly service makes this family diner a real winner

Dan O.
Since we've been coming here, there are 2 drawbacks that need to be addressed. The food is still delicious, but the coffee is not very good. I would gladly pay more for better quality coffee. Also, I really wish there were some healthy options for breakfast. I'd love to get a side of fruit or something light, like First Watch offers. I tried to order a side of fruit they told me they couldn't do it because it was only portioned out for the waffles and pancakes. I would come here more often if these small things could be implemented.

Colleen D.
My husband and I love Nick's for Sunday breakfast or brunch. The food and staff are always wonderful! They can properly poach an egg for eggs Benedict, as many other restaurants don't. The inside could really use a face lift or a little TLC. But, it is worth the wait if there is a line, and there usually is :)

Our old favorites in CT have been disappointing us so we haven't had breakfast outside the home for a while. Since we had some time to kill while waiting for my family to get ready to meet us in Orlando, we found Nick's Diner. The husband got his usual fare of eggs, toasts, bacon and hash browns. It all came out perfectly. No complaints from him. I got the waffles and bacon. I've never raved over waffles before but these were tasty! perfectly toasted on the edges and crispy. Yum! Once the rest of the group met us here, the wait staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Michelle M.
We come here for brunch two to three Sunday's a month. They have the best pancakes!!! Also, some Sunday's they have a crab cake Benedict and it's one of the most delicious things I have ever put in my mouth! They get crazy busy, so I would make sure you have adequate time and expect to wait around twenty minutes for a table. But the wait is well worth the delicious food!

I have been there several times as I live in Zellwood so it's a little bit of a drive but worth it. I was born and raised in NJ and ate mostly in Diners when eating out. Nicks family diner is a real NJ diner. Food is good and portions are very good. The first time we went in we were wearing our Belmar NJ shirts and the girl at the check out told us they were from NJ and and had a diner there. We told her we were not surprised as eating there was like being home. I suggest it to anyone who wants a great meal at a good price. The owner was told we were from NJ and she came out and spoke with us for about 20 minutes often holding up the line to pay. "Sorry about that"!!!

I really liked the chicken gyro. Very fresh pita and tatziki (sp?) sauce. Hubby had the daily special spicy chicken sandwich. It was good but he didn't realize the bread is French toast so it was heavier than he expected. He liked the jalapeño and ham added to the sandwich. Our daughter ordered the Chicken Cesar salad. It was really good and she ordered the same yummy pita on the side. It smelled so good. We even liked the buffalo chicken soup! It had a nice kick. We had been here before and were hoping it wasn't too busy. We were pleased that it wasn't a long wait for lunch on a Saturday! Staff was also really friendly and glad we would post on yelp!

Talk about a Mom n' Pop joint! Mother/Father/Brother...they all work here! My Parents/Grandparents go here at least once a day. The portions are abundant with taste and size. The chef cuts all his own steaks/pork chops, etc. Things to try: Swordfish Piccata if its on the daily specials Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Club Sandwich is made with real turkey they bake every day. With most entrees you get a salad, glass of wine, soup AND a dessert. Hard to find that anywhere else Angie the owner watches everything that goes on. The staff is great and service is quick. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

I ate here for the first time last Saturday. I had a bacon cheese burger and my god daughter had the 2/2/2 meal (I think that's what it is called). We both enjoyed the atmosphere, the friendly service, and good food. My burger was not too greasy, had the right amount of flavor, and i had to cut it in half so there portion size was great. My meal came with soup, I choose the buffalo chicken. It had the consistency of a chowder. I liked it but my god daughter was not a fan. It had a slight kick and was flavorful. Iv tasted better but it wasn't bad. I would have it again. The breakfast meal my god daughter had was also very fulling, great taste, and made her want to go back again.

I've only been here for dinner but I took a peek at the breakfast menu and it looked awesome! Dinner was delicious!! I had the prime rib which I was told that they slow roast and it melted in my mouth. It was a really good deal....you get bread, a soup AND salad, a veggie, a starch and a big thick cut of meat and a dessert! It was a whole lot of food. So much I was ready to ask for a to go box after the soup & salad. Everything is made fresh. No canned items...soup, veggie etc! I really want to have b-fast here since dinner was so good!

It was really crowded at 11:30 am. This is a busy place !! We waited for a reasonable amount of time for a table. They gave us a table for four with a chair at the end for a fifth person - needless to say it was like eating in airplane. Unlike other reviews, I found their portion size to be very small ! (We ordered 3 Western Scramblers) and they were all small portioned so it was not just mine. server was very friendly and pleasant. After finishing our meal we realized that they forgot to bring us our toast !! It was too late by then - we needed to get back. There is nothing spectacular about this place or anything extremely bad ! I'll look for another place to get my Diner-Fix On!

RAISIN FRENCH TOAST!!!!!! Nuff said! Ok maybe not but they have it and I'm in love. The food was awesome. Great portions size, attentive waitress, reasonable pricing, and a complimentary candy cane. What more could a tourist ask for? The decor (which would make Chef Robert Irvine have a stroke) is the only thing keeping it from a full 5 stars. That being said, take your empty stomach and your full wallets here, both will be happy in the end

All around great place, Im from a small town and I miss the mom and pop places, however when I am feeling i need a fix, this would be one of my go-tos. The staff is friendly. The food is on point, good portions sizes, and the price is great. Ive only dined there for breakfast but they offer other options. I get the "FARMBOY", I get it with Biscuit and gravy, scrambled eggs, hash browns and large sausage links. Hits the spot every time. Just talking about this place and my mouth is watering!

Dee B.
OK! So I never even had heard of this place!!! My friends wanted to check it out on a Sunday morning. Well needless to say, definitely get there early because there will be a line! The food is great...it's very homestyle cooking and the portions are huge! It's a very quaint place and great staff. Worth trying out. I've posted pics of some of the food that my group ordered. We all left there pleasantly full without breaking the bank!

I'm trying to be kinder to the animals I expect to be slaughtered for my meat consumption, so when I saw "Free Range Chicken" on Nick's takeout menu I felt a little less guilty. My happy, once-free-roaming-but-now-dead-chicken sandwich (grilled) was served blackened on a buttered bun, and it was delightful. Yes, I know, chicken normally bores the crap out of me too, but this was tasty. The onion rings tasted like onion rings. Yay! Pickup is easy and fast and reliable. This is pretty much the only dining place near my job that tastes good, but I would eat at Nick's even if I was in a big city with finer eating establishments. Thank you, Nick's, for making me feel good about putting dead things in my belly.

Ericka M.
As a preface, you know when I have A LOT to say about a place, I either love it or i'm going on a tirade. I'm on the fence about Nick's. Is the food good? Yes. Will you get stellar service? No. My fiance's family and I usually go every Sunday for breakfast and the experiences are really hit or miss. For one, Nick's gives NO thought about the handicap. It's like in their world, cripples don't exist. Let me explain When you enter Nick's the front door opens on the opposite side from ramp. This means every time I go I have to wait until someone has entered before my fiance closes and door and I pray I don't get hit while I pass it. This has happened at least once and almost broke my glasses. It's like i'm playing russian roulette that I should get face slapped by the door just trying to get inside. Once inside you are stuffed in this small alcove next to the door that has two benches when it probably shouldn't. I grump about people grouping by the door but I understand with this place you don't have many options. I found out last week that I needed to pee before I go to eat because Nick's does NOT have a handicap bathroom which baffles me. I thought at least all restaurants were morally obligated but I might just be silly. They instead have two stalls, one of which is slightly bigger than the other. Definitely not big enough to get my wheelchair (which isn't very wide might I add). I can't imagine what you would do if you were say, a bigger lady who could walk normally. So after going in and realizing immediately that this was not going to happen, I had to wait until breakfast was over to go somewhere else. All because Nick's couldn't make reasonable accommodation in their bathrooms. Hell, just take the two stalls out and make it a one person bathroom if they had trouble dividing a small area. It's not rocket science. SO. The service. We got the same server we always do and she's a nice lady but she has limited common sense. We had a group of people plus a two year old. Most people would ask if she needs a high chair since she's still little. Not this lady though. She showed us to our table and didn't show an ounce of understanding until I had to ask for a high chair like they were holding them hostage or something. A two year isn't going to sit in a chair by herself and not try to run for it. That's just how little ones are. Then she didn't notice not all of us had silverware. Another basic point of common knowledge. We are going to eat so shouldn't we all have something to eat with? No one came by to refill my fiance's drink either which always irks him to the ends of the earth. He really likes diet coke. Anywho, onto the food. I am a little biased because I typically get the same thing every time we go. The Lox Box. I love it. I cannot even express how good it is. For those who may not know, the lox box contains: giant bagel halves, more cream cheese than you would need, smoked salmon (lox), cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce. Now, every is on the side so you can build to your hearts content. I, myself am a minimalist so I just like cream cheese and lox but man is it good. Try it, I doubt you'll find much to complain about. As for Nick's as a whole? Go for the food but don't expect anything else like service or an accepting environment.

I have been visiting Nick's for about six months. This place is in my opinion the best diner in Orlando. I have been there for both breakfast and lunch and the service and flavors never fail. It reminds me of the great greek diners in Chicago. The food is always fresh and if you have never been there....be ready to eat! The portions are HUGE! A couple of my favorites: Any of Nick's eggs benedicts are great. Omelette's are always large and filling with fresh veggies. The bacon is killer. For lunch, always try a special such as the stuffed peppers, prime rib poor boy or fresh fish. The buffalo chicken sandwich, the cuban, burgers and salads are my favorite. My friends I eat with love the open faced sandwiches and chicken gyro. Don't be shy about trying the soup. The are always homemade and hot. And to top it all off, Nick's offers free desert (lemon pie or chocolate eclaire)......if you can fit into you belly. Again, great place where you will never leave hungry!

Erica F.
A fabulous find! The service is very family like and helpful. The food is ALL fresh and made there with hefty serving portions! I got the mushroom chz burger with grilled onions/mushr and a full order of onion rings for a $1 extra!! =-O it was soo much they had to give me a seperate box. They also include a complementary soup (lemon chx&orzo, buff chx, or real clam chouder) and a hefty fresh desert! And guess how much it cost me?? Under $9!!! I fed myself and my 2 kids off that meal and still have much more left! They definitley have my vote and business for life!

Nick's is a clean, friendly, popular and reliable diner located on NOBT in the Rosemont area. It occupies a former Pizza Hut and was originally named Andros II, with the original Andros located in Apopka. There's a small amount of Greek influence here, but the menu offers something for everyone -- it's plentiful. They've become so popular that it can be a challenge to get a parking spot. They earned that popularity with solid dining options, a friendly and accommodating staff, and obvious pride in their business.

Wonderful, home cooked and family owned! I can't believe it took me so long to finally get to Nick's, but everything was spectacular. Not at all a greasy spoon, but rather a charming quick full on restaurant completed with FREE dessert! Loved the lemon chicken soup, the prime rib french dip sandwich (special today or every day?) and the taste or two I stole from across the table. Definitely going back after a bike ride, for a breakfast or brunch, or another hearty soul food home food yummy food lunch!

OK, so this was a true Yelp find, and it was a great one. I never knew about this place, but decided to try it out based on the reviews from Tracey S and Donna S. I was so glad I did. I had the Gyro, and it was just perfectly seasoned, fresh and hot. It came with soup, Lemon Chicken, and that was very good as well. Yes, they had the complimentary eclair, and it was incredible.

I wanted to try this place out because of the great reviews on here. I also wanted to try it because it's a home food style restaurant. It took me an hour to get there because I thought it was on OBT and Americana Blvd. by the Florida Mall. It's actually on OBT and All American in Apopka. Anyways, it was a dingy restaurant. I understand that this isn't the type of place to go for the service but, the servers didn't do anything to act like they wanted a tip. It could be that I was in my pajamas so they didn't think I would tip well but, I work in hospitality and tip at least 20%. I ordered the eggs and prime rib. The eggs were overcooked and the prime rib was rancid. Pan frying it ruined it and it's just not the way to cook prime rib. Since they can't make eggs good I won't be trusting them for anything harder to make and I won't be returning.

Food here is consistently awesome, fresh, high quality. The staff are courteous and friendly and all have great senses of humor! I only wish they would extend their hours!! It sounds really silly, but one of my favorite things is that they offer both sausage links and patties. Definitely a links kind of girl! Coffee is bomb, always fresh, and pancakes are super fluffy. Get the home fries over the hash browns, they're sliced like scalloped potatoes and deeeeeeeeelicious!

My wife and I love this place and frequently meet our friends here for brunch. If the corned beef hash Benedict is on the menu that day, get it!. I have never had a bad meal here and you will not go wrong with anything you choose. Great place!

I've been around the corner from Nicks for 5 years and I literally just visited this week for breakfast. I had the hillbilly deluxe sandwich which was absolutely amazing and everything came out piping hot! The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because I went back for lunch and was a little disappointed in my melted roast beef sandwich...it was good in flavor but dry. I'll definitely be back to try more things.

Just ordered breakfast, western omelette hash browns and bacon and even my hubby's French toast tasted home made! Impressed for a diner, food was fresh! Best in neighborhood! Orders always come correct and in time. We also has a dude of fries that were bulky me and my bf haven't ate like this in days. Well needed! Thanks!

One of my favorite places to eat, we are there often. Have noticed recently a rise in prices hope this isn't a trend and that they don't out price themselves. Love the food it's just like momma makes!!

We loooooooove it here. LOVE. Did you hear me?! Always pleasant service and quick, delicious diner food. The soups are to-die for, (almost) literally. They're completely homemade and the variety is great. Last time we stopped in, we had buffalo chicken and philly cheese steak soup. So good. This is definitely a place you need to try if you're a big soup fan.

Nicks was fantastic diner food, exactly what we were looking for on this dreary day. Eggs are real, home fries are good, biscuits and gravy are made right. The wife got corn beef and hash omelet, very good. Hash browns were crunchy, just like they should be. Definitely give it a visit if you want good quality diner bfast.

Wow! What a great breakfast! Portions are extremely generous, the food came out super fast and hot! Definitely will be back again!

Love this place, food is served very fast and hot every time. Service is on point and can't say enough about the prime rib french dip. And you won't believe how amazing the complimentary soups are, some of the best I ever had. Must try.
(5)Cici C.
I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. It's a typical diner but the food is decent. Try the black and blue burger you won't regret it.
(3)Sandy M.
Food is always great here. Fast for lunch, big portions. It's close by work so we go often. Service is usually ok but it depends on which server you get. I see a lot of people order breakfast for lunch. Looks good but I usually order the buffalo chicken salad and its devious. It's a huge salad and cones with a choice of soup. The lemon chicken soup is great and not to salty. They give you free dessert. I tried it once and didn't care for it but it's a great deal for your money.
(4)Waleska V.
We were craving a home cooked breakfast while in Orlando and definitely were EXTREMELY satisfied with this place. From the servers to the food, 5-Star! Lebby was our awesome server and Angela, Nick's sister, welcomed us like we were in her home. Thank you and will make sure to stop by again whenever in Orlando. The omelets to die for! Must try the corned beef hash omelet.
(5)Jaime L.
Masterfully executed American classics in a homey, throw-back 80's atmosphere. Had the Country Benedict with biscuits, spicy breakfast sausage, perfectly runny poached eggs and lots of country gravy. Service is not perfect, and most breakfast options lack fresh fruit or vegetables, but then again, this place is not for the health-conscious.
(4)Stephanie N.
The portions are huge and the food is fresh and delicious. Go healthy with a veggie omelet or spoil yourself with stuffed French toast. The coffee is on point and service was excellent. A solid American diner in Florida.
(5)Mike M.
My most true measuring stick for a potential new breakfast place....the Holandaise/benedict...here was not made to order but good so Im still giving high marks because everything else was very good. Huge bonus points the desert was 100% fresh and from scratch in house. Highly recommended because I get that they care about what they serve here and the service was great, fast and friendly. Bring your friends!
(4)George P.
Whent there on advice from a friend that can not stop talking about this diner. So I figured I would give it a try Saturday afternoon went with my family very very busy waited 5 minutes at the door and was pleasantly greeted by my very nice waitress( Christine I believe) at the table. Now I know why my friend raves about this place had the short ribs and shrimp and was completely blown away. my wife had the chef salad she says it was the best she ever had and still has half in the refrigerator, portions are huge Service excellent and a very clean establishment. food was on the table with in 10 minutes of sitting down. This is a very well oiled machine. Cashier ask me how everything was and to feel free to give Nicks a review on Yelp or TripAdvisor and I feel this was worth signing up for so here it is. Worth the 30 min drive no question.

My in-laws and I had to go to Orlando International to pick up my husband the other morning, and I wanted to find a new place for breakfast, so I looked on Yelp and saw this place had great reviews. There is a place across OBT from this place called Vick's, and the fancy lettering kind of looks like Nick's, so be careful you don't turn in there like we nearly did! Nick's is on the east side of OBT. When we came in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Lebby was our waiter, and he stayed on top of things the whole time, so service there is great if he's any indicator! One in our party ordered scrambled eggs well done, and the rest of us got eggs over medium. With the exception of one of my eggs coming out with the yolk overcooked, the others were done perfectly. I had a biscuit with gravy along with my eggs, and the gravy had a very good flavor. The potatoes for the home fries are cut like scalloped potatoes, and we think of home fries as having chunks of potato, so that was something we weren't too crazy about. We had them cook onions in the home fries since they don't normally do it that way. All in all, very good food, because they make it from scratch like it should be. However, I do not recommend the large cookies by the register. They looked good, but they were very dry and crumbly, and I had to throw it away. It is definitely worth going back, and I'd like to try their lunch food sometime as well.
(4)Andrea R.
I love to have breakfast here. Always go for the 2-2-2 sizes are good enough to leave full for at least 6 hours. Love it! . Ohhhh and the black coffee Mmm.
(5)Melody P.
Awesome omelet! The Athena with feta and spinach. Fast service even though they were super busy. Also the waitress Susan was great.
(5)Dr. L.
This is an old school diner in an old Pizza Hut building. It is quaint by diner standards. The remodel is not bad. I have eaten here twice and had pretty good comfort food both times. The owners are very nice and have been in the bizz for well over 20 years. The staff work hard and do a good job. The place gets pretty busy during peak times so get there early or wait in line a bit. If you like Mom and Pop places this is a good one... Have fun.
(3)Brandi N.
Holy Moly Doughnut Shop! I found Nick's when I was looking for feel good food and does it make you feel good! They have soup specials every day - my favorite soup day being Friday! And everything the serve is full of flavor. I love how soup, entrée and dessert come standard with all of their normal menu items. My favorite hands down is the Mushroom Cheeseburger. They have perfect portions so you won't eat too little or too much. Get in there early! They are slammed at lunch time. I know personally why. The staff is extra friendly and accommodating for any size party. Oh Nick's you have my heart!
(5)Scott G.
I'm on vacation from NJ and looked up the top ten breakfast places in Orlando. Nick's Family Diner was ranked number 2. We went here expecting great food and we were not disappointed. I ordered the Country Benedict, two poached eggs over sausage patties on freshly baked biscuits and smothered in country gravy. Wow this was amazing! The service was excellent as well. If you are tired of chain restaurants while on vacation then you should definitely check this place out.
(5)Kevin S.
the place is always crowded on weekends so I thought I would give it a try. The service was outstanding, very quick and personable. The soup(which is a giveaway with any sandwich) was EXCEPTIONAL- I had the buffalo chicken, which was a good thing because there are no substitutions. I ordered the RUBIN which was a total disappointment, the meat looked and tasted like lunch meat- poor quality like LAND OF LAKES OR BUDDING. IT SEAMED LIKED FUSED PROCESSED PIECES PARTS!. the fries tasted like grease. when I brought the rubin to the attention of the lady at checkout she got MAD said" I dont give away free food, you should have told your waitress". I explained I was not asking for nor looking for free food. Her attitude was deploring. I told her the same thing I wrote here and she said" I sell 10 of them a day they are one of our featured items." SAD!!! TWO dollars off( the price of the beverage) verses the NINE dollars for a terrible sandwich would have been appropriate! On the bright side my dogs loved the sandwich so all wasn't wasted My husband had eggs which were very good, bacon which was flavorless, and biscuits and gravy again no flavor. oh and hash browns that were very greasy. So to recap Great service from the wait staff, big portions, some good some terrible food. I will not go back! . check out staff had a bad attitude.
(1)Lauren B.
Came today and its a bit busy so i figured id stay b.c it must be worth it with it being so crowded so i gave my name young lady said it will be 15 mins 30 mins later still my name wasnt called so i asked and then was seated a few moments later. Food was pretty good , only bad expierence is a dirty cup and the long wait id go back if it wasnt so crowded
(2)Ah-Lawn-Ugh M.
I love this place. I strongly suggest coming hungry! Pros: - Service is quick - Staff is friendly - Food is delish - Portions are big (always have leftovers) - Good prices Cons: - Coffee is typical just ok - if you don't get there by 11 on the weekend the specials are typically sold out - Not Centrally located - No real healthy options Highly recommend getting one of the specials you can never go wrong.
(5)Jamie S.
Nick's is a regular spot for us on weekends for a late breakfast or lunch. The food is very reasonably priced, they have an excellent selection, and the food is delivered hot and fresh with lightning fast speed. The service is usually amicable and the food is usually pretty good. It's no gourmet kitchen, but you really can't beat it for breakfast/lunch. My only complaint/suggestion is paying for your meal. They have one register at the front and sometimes it takes forever (they are often having issues with the credit card machine). During particularly busy times, the line can back up to pay and it can take longer to check out than it did to eat. Perhaps they should start allowing their servers to accept payment. Otherwise, I highly recommend Nick's. I wish they were open in the evenings for dinner.
(4)Bill K.
We gave this spot a try when one of our usual haunts was closed for remodeling. I had the Bananas Foster French toast with home fries and bacon. The wife had hash and eggs with hash browns. Portion sizes were quite generous and the coffee was very good. Plusses were portion size for certain. Also, the French toast was quite tasty. The home fries were thins sliced, while my preference is for the chunky variety. Bacon was thin, and straight out of the pack. My wife found the hash and eggs quite pleasant, but the gravy provided was in need of seasoning and tasted a bit like flour. All in all, pretty decent food. They screwed up our drink order and were slow with a refill, so that cost them the fourth star. Will likely give another try.
(3)Crystal H.
I love the food here. It's a typical diner menu, similar to Christo's in College Park, but the food has way more flavor in my opinion. The service is decent, the prices are typical, and the food comes fast. I think serve the best hash browns in Central Florida Not into the sharing charge for sharing a humongous plate of food that I couldn't finish myself even I wanted to, I think it's pretty bogus. Other than that, it's pretty legit. Check it out.
(4)Edward T.
Food's good..service good ..price very reasonable. We're coming back when wheb in town
(4)Kevin J.
I read about Nick's on Yelp. I went for lunch with a couple of co-workers. This place has amazing food. Everything there is made fresh on the premises. The waitress found out it was the first time we've ever been there and shortly after the owner came over to talk to us. I'm planning on making Nick's Family Diner a weekly visit. SECRET: Try the Greek Omelette and some olives. Yum. Breakfast served all day. You can't go wrong.
(5)Hope R.
We had the buffalo chicken soup and the lemon chicken soup, both were very good. The liver and onions (I was told) were delicious according to my spouse. I had the 'Rachael' it's the Rueben's sister sandwich made with a very generous portion of pastrami in place of corned beef. It was delicious. The eclair you get for dessert as part of the meal was yummy, but stay away from the lemon merengue cake. I'm a merengue fan, usually. Can't wait to go back and try the 'po boy prime rib sandwich' We arrived when they cleaning and filling for the end of the shift and had to ask for everything, extra napkins, water, extra lemons etc. I don't mind paying an up charge for sweet potatoes in exchange for regular fries, but I think the wait staff could've told us when we ordered it. If the service was a little more attentive I would've given 5 stars. The service was not poor, just barely average but, most certainly, could've been better.
(4)Lee C.
Sat and waited for the food,people sat down and got their food faster than we did. Waitress was rude.
(4)Kat M.
Just like any diner. I ordered the gyro. Meat is thickly sliced with tomatoes, onions and tzatziki. Kinda skimped on my tzatziki, still good, but as a Greek I love me some tzatziki! Next time I'll ask for extra! The spanakopita looked so amazing! It took up the entire plate! Def worth two helpings. The chicken lemon soup or avgolemono was okay. Tasted like a mix of canned soup and homemade. Will come back to try more.
(3)Gale C.
I love Nick's for Breakfast on a Sunday, the service is fast and great. Real homemade food. The french toast is so delish and thick. Pancakes are pretty awesome too. I sometimes get a omelette as they are really good with many choices to choose from. They get crowded on a Sunday so if you have to wait don't worry it's worth the wait and they are fast so you won't be waiting to long.
(5)Susan S.
I was hesitant to go to Nick's, I don't love this area. I wish i had been here sooner! the servers couldn't have been nicer ( and we went near closing time, i had expected service to be a little annoyed) the food was interesting, i had an omelette wrapped in a tortilla with spinach, dill, feta and scallion. wow! it was incredibly awesome. all our food was fresh, hot and delicious. We'll be back here, a lot. i wish they'd move to downtown College Park..
(5)Greg C.
Great breakfasts all day! Fast service! Generous portions! Yummmmm...home cookin' at its best!
(4)Steveb W.
So good. I got the prime rib steak and eggs. My friend got a huge farmers omelette. Heather was our waitress. She's a rock star! I will be back!
(5)Tom M.
Just had the Guiness beer battered shrimp platter - Wow!!! You could smell the sweet fragrance of the Guiness beer in the batter when the server put the basket on the table. Fast friendly service makes this family diner a real winner
(5)Dan O.
Since we've been coming here, there are 2 drawbacks that need to be addressed. The food is still delicious, but the coffee is not very good. I would gladly pay more for better quality coffee. Also, I really wish there were some healthy options for breakfast. I'd love to get a side of fruit or something light, like First Watch offers. I tried to order a side of fruit they told me they couldn't do it because it was only portioned out for the waffles and pancakes. I would come here more often if these small things could be implemented.
(3)Colleen D.
My husband and I love Nick's for Sunday breakfast or brunch. The food and staff are always wonderful! They can properly poach an egg for eggs Benedict, as many other restaurants don't. The inside could really use a face lift or a little TLC. But, it is worth the wait if there is a line, and there usually is :)
(4)M. P.
Our old favorites in CT have been disappointing us so we haven't had breakfast outside the home for a while. Since we had some time to kill while waiting for my family to get ready to meet us in Orlando, we found Nick's Diner. The husband got his usual fare of eggs, toasts, bacon and hash browns. It all came out perfectly. No complaints from him. I got the waffles and bacon. I've never raved over waffles before but these were tasty! perfectly toasted on the edges and crispy. Yum! Once the rest of the group met us here, the wait staff was very friendly and accommodating.
(5)Michelle M.
We come here for brunch two to three Sunday's a month. They have the best pancakes!!! Also, some Sunday's they have a crab cake Benedict and it's one of the most delicious things I have ever put in my mouth! They get crazy busy, so I would make sure you have adequate time and expect to wait around twenty minutes for a table. But the wait is well worth the delicious food!
(5)Kelly J.
This is a great place for breakfast & lunch. The food is delicious & the service is wonderful. It's a family owns & operated restaurant. It's also very affordable.
(5)Kevin H.
I have never gotten a bad meal here. The service is by far the best. Jackie is the best waitress of all.
(5)Earl A.
I have been there several times as I live in Zellwood so it's a little bit of a drive but worth it. I was born and raised in NJ and ate mostly in Diners when eating out. Nicks family diner is a real NJ diner. Food is good and portions are very good. The first time we went in we were wearing our Belmar NJ shirts and the girl at the check out told us they were from NJ and and had a diner there. We told her we were not surprised as eating there was like being home. I suggest it to anyone who wants a great meal at a good price. The owner was told we were from NJ and she came out and spoke with us for about 20 minutes often holding up the line to pay. "Sorry about that"!!!
(4)Michael S.
I come here with my wife for lunch often and always get great food and great service.
(5)Ann C.
I really liked the chicken gyro. Very fresh pita and tatziki (sp?) sauce. Hubby had the daily special spicy chicken sandwich. It was good but he didn't realize the bread is French toast so it was heavier than he expected. He liked the jalapeño and ham added to the sandwich. Our daughter ordered the Chicken Cesar salad. It was really good and she ordered the same yummy pita on the side. It smelled so good. We even liked the buffalo chicken soup! It had a nice kick. We had been here before and were hoping it wasn't too busy. We were pleased that it wasn't a long wait for lunch on a Saturday! Staff was also really friendly and glad we would post on yelp!
(5)Geoffrey P.
Best breakfast in Orlando. Tasty, generous, and friendly. No brainer go-to!
(5)Daniel S.
Talk about a Mom n' Pop joint! Mother/Father/Brother...they all work here! My Parents/Grandparents go here at least once a day. The portions are abundant with taste and size. The chef cuts all his own steaks/pork chops, etc. Things to try: Swordfish Piccata if its on the daily specials Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Club Sandwich is made with real turkey they bake every day. With most entrees you get a salad, glass of wine, soup AND a dessert. Hard to find that anywhere else Angie the owner watches everything that goes on. The staff is great and service is quick. I HIGHLY recommend this place.
(5)Cynthia B.
Great diner! Clean, well staffed, polite waitresses. Food was simple but quick and well seasoned. Well worth the drive off the highway for something other than a chain restaurant. Also it was very reasonably priced. Try the thick sliced beer battered onion rings!
(4)Michelle F.
Went to nick's today and had there porches egg wt hash and it was good not greasy on hash. Will go again and again to try the rest off the menu will take the family too.they are only open till 3:00pm everyday.
(5)Courtney B.
I have never had a bad breakfast here. The atmosphere is classic diner and the women that work there are always friendly and make you feel like a regular
(5)Robert S.
...Pretty much agree with everyone else... a local diner treasure... don't forget their cookies... take a couple home... they are very, very good...
(5)Safiya S.
I ate here for the first time last Saturday. I had a bacon cheese burger and my god daughter had the 2/2/2 meal (I think that's what it is called). We both enjoyed the atmosphere, the friendly service, and good food. My burger was not too greasy, had the right amount of flavor, and i had to cut it in half so there portion size was great. My meal came with soup, I choose the buffalo chicken. It had the consistency of a chowder. I liked it but my god daughter was not a fan. It had a slight kick and was flavorful. Iv tasted better but it wasn't bad. I would have it again. The breakfast meal my god daughter had was also very fulling, great taste, and made her want to go back again.
(4)Patricia T.
I've only been here for dinner but I took a peek at the breakfast menu and it looked awesome! Dinner was delicious!! I had the prime rib which I was told that they slow roast and it melted in my mouth. It was a really good deal....you get bread, a soup AND salad, a veggie, a starch and a big thick cut of meat and a dessert! It was a whole lot of food. So much I was ready to ask for a to go box after the soup & salad. Everything is made fresh. No canned items...soup, veggie etc! I really want to have b-fast here since dinner was so good!
(4)Erick S.
It was really crowded at 11:30 am. This is a busy place !! We waited for a reasonable amount of time for a table. They gave us a table for four with a chair at the end for a fifth person - needless to say it was like eating in airplane. Unlike other reviews, I found their portion size to be very small ! (We ordered 3 Western Scramblers) and they were all small portioned so it was not just mine. server was very friendly and pleasant. After finishing our meal we realized that they forgot to bring us our toast !! It was too late by then - we needed to get back. There is nothing spectacular about this place or anything extremely bad ! I'll look for another place to get my Diner-Fix On!
(2)Ebony P.
My first vist on a busy saturday. Quick service.Awesome! Don'tbe afraidof the greek omelet! Good crabcakes too. I love it !
(5)Miliardo P.
RAISIN FRENCH TOAST!!!!!! Nuff said! Ok maybe not but they have it and I'm in love. The food was awesome. Great portions size, attentive waitress, reasonable pricing, and a complimentary candy cane. What more could a tourist ask for? The decor (which would make Chef Robert Irvine have a stroke) is the only thing keeping it from a full 5 stars. That being said, take your empty stomach and your full wallets here, both will be happy in the end
(4)Justina N.
All around great place, Im from a small town and I miss the mom and pop places, however when I am feeling i need a fix, this would be one of my go-tos. The staff is friendly. The food is on point, good portions sizes, and the price is great. Ive only dined there for breakfast but they offer other options. I get the "FARMBOY", I get it with Biscuit and gravy, scrambled eggs, hash browns and large sausage links. Hits the spot every time. Just talking about this place and my mouth is watering!
(5)Dee B.
OK! So I never even had heard of this place!!! My friends wanted to check it out on a Sunday morning. Well needless to say, definitely get there early because there will be a line! The food is great...it's very homestyle cooking and the portions are huge! It's a very quaint place and great staff. Worth trying out. I've posted pics of some of the food that my group ordered. We all left there pleasantly full without breaking the bank!
(5)Cristina C.
I'm trying to be kinder to the animals I expect to be slaughtered for my meat consumption, so when I saw "Free Range Chicken" on Nick's takeout menu I felt a little less guilty. My happy, once-free-roaming-but-now-dead-chicken sandwich (grilled) was served blackened on a buttered bun, and it was delightful. Yes, I know, chicken normally bores the crap out of me too, but this was tasty. The onion rings tasted like onion rings. Yay! Pickup is easy and fast and reliable. This is pretty much the only dining place near my job that tastes good, but I would eat at Nick's even if I was in a big city with finer eating establishments. Thank you, Nick's, for making me feel good about putting dead things in my belly.
(4)Ericka M.
As a preface, you know when I have A LOT to say about a place, I either love it or i'm going on a tirade. I'm on the fence about Nick's. Is the food good? Yes. Will you get stellar service? No. My fiance's family and I usually go every Sunday for breakfast and the experiences are really hit or miss. For one, Nick's gives NO thought about the handicap. It's like in their world, cripples don't exist. Let me explain When you enter Nick's the front door opens on the opposite side from ramp. This means every time I go I have to wait until someone has entered before my fiance closes and door and I pray I don't get hit while I pass it. This has happened at least once and almost broke my glasses. It's like i'm playing russian roulette that I should get face slapped by the door just trying to get inside. Once inside you are stuffed in this small alcove next to the door that has two benches when it probably shouldn't. I grump about people grouping by the door but I understand with this place you don't have many options. I found out last week that I needed to pee before I go to eat because Nick's does NOT have a handicap bathroom which baffles me. I thought at least all restaurants were morally obligated but I might just be silly. They instead have two stalls, one of which is slightly bigger than the other. Definitely not big enough to get my wheelchair (which isn't very wide might I add). I can't imagine what you would do if you were say, a bigger lady who could walk normally. So after going in and realizing immediately that this was not going to happen, I had to wait until breakfast was over to go somewhere else. All because Nick's couldn't make reasonable accommodation in their bathrooms. Hell, just take the two stalls out and make it a one person bathroom if they had trouble dividing a small area. It's not rocket science. SO. The service. We got the same server we always do and she's a nice lady but she has limited common sense. We had a group of people plus a two year old. Most people would ask if she needs a high chair since she's still little. Not this lady though. She showed us to our table and didn't show an ounce of understanding until I had to ask for a high chair like they were holding them hostage or something. A two year isn't going to sit in a chair by herself and not try to run for it. That's just how little ones are. Then she didn't notice not all of us had silverware. Another basic point of common knowledge. We are going to eat so shouldn't we all have something to eat with? No one came by to refill my fiance's drink either which always irks him to the ends of the earth. He really likes diet coke. Anywho, onto the food. I am a little biased because I typically get the same thing every time we go. The Lox Box. I love it. I cannot even express how good it is. For those who may not know, the lox box contains: giant bagel halves, more cream cheese than you would need, smoked salmon (lox), cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce. Now, every is on the side so you can build to your hearts content. I, myself am a minimalist so I just like cream cheese and lox but man is it good. Try it, I doubt you'll find much to complain about. As for Nick's as a whole? Go for the food but don't expect anything else like service or an accepting environment.
(2)TimoT X.
great breakfast foods, though sometimes there can be a wait, the place is small and they really hustle to get your order taken the food is very very good.
(4)Daniel S.
Everything on the menu is outstanding. we always stop by when in orlando, by far always one of the highlights of our trip.
(5)Josh B.
I have been visiting Nick's for about six months. This place is in my opinion the best diner in Orlando. I have been there for both breakfast and lunch and the service and flavors never fail. It reminds me of the great greek diners in Chicago. The food is always fresh and if you have never been there....be ready to eat! The portions are HUGE! A couple of my favorites: Any of Nick's eggs benedicts are great. Omelette's are always large and filling with fresh veggies. The bacon is killer. For lunch, always try a special such as the stuffed peppers, prime rib poor boy or fresh fish. The buffalo chicken sandwich, the cuban, burgers and salads are my favorite. My friends I eat with love the open faced sandwiches and chicken gyro. Don't be shy about trying the soup. The are always homemade and hot. And to top it all off, Nick's offers free desert (lemon pie or chocolate eclaire)......if you can fit into you belly. Again, great place where you will never leave hungry!
(5)Erica F.
A fabulous find! The service is very family like and helpful. The food is ALL fresh and made there with hefty serving portions! I got the mushroom chz burger with grilled onions/mushr and a full order of onion rings for a $1 extra!! =-O it was soo much they had to give me a seperate box. They also include a complementary soup (lemon chx&orzo, buff chx, or real clam chouder) and a hefty fresh desert! And guess how much it cost me?? Under $9!!! I fed myself and my 2 kids off that meal and still have much more left! They definitley have my vote and business for life!
(5)Myles M.
Great breakfast spot, prices are decent and service was good. Food comes out very fast, I mean a matter of minutes, go here weekly.

Nick's is a clean, friendly, popular and reliable diner located on NOBT in the Rosemont area. It occupies a former Pizza Hut and was originally named Andros II, with the original Andros located in Apopka. There's a small amount of Greek influence here, but the menu offers something for everyone -- it's plentiful. They've become so popular that it can be a challenge to get a parking spot. They earned that popularity with solid dining options, a friendly and accommodating staff, and obvious pride in their business.

Wonderful, home cooked and family owned! I can't believe it took me so long to finally get to Nick's, but everything was spectacular. Not at all a greasy spoon, but rather a charming quick full on restaurant completed with FREE dessert! Loved the lemon chicken soup, the prime rib french dip sandwich (special today or every day?) and the taste or two I stole from across the table. Definitely going back after a bike ride, for a breakfast or brunch, or another hearty soul food home food yummy food lunch!

OK, so this was a true Yelp find, and it was a great one. I never knew about this place, but decided to try it out based on the reviews from Tracey S and Donna S. I was so glad I did. I had the Gyro, and it was just perfectly seasoned, fresh and hot. It came with soup, Lemon Chicken, and that was very good as well. Yes, they had the complimentary eclair, and it was incredible.

Wow! What a surprise. A hidden gem. Everything was hot, fresh and soooo delicious! You have to try the eggs Benedict and the crab cakes. Just wish they were open for dinner too. Sad they close at 3.

I wanted to try this place out because of the great reviews on here. I also wanted to try it because it's a home food style restaurant. It took me an hour to get there because I thought it was on OBT and Americana Blvd. by the Florida Mall. It's actually on OBT and All American in Apopka. Anyways, it was a dingy restaurant. I understand that this isn't the type of place to go for the service but, the servers didn't do anything to act like they wanted a tip. It could be that I was in my pajamas so they didn't think I would tip well but, I work in hospitality and tip at least 20%. I ordered the eggs and prime rib. The eggs were overcooked and the prime rib was rancid. Pan frying it ruined it and it's just not the way to cook prime rib. Since they can't make eggs good I won't be trusting them for anything harder to make and I won't be returning.

Food here is consistently awesome, fresh, high quality. The staff are courteous and friendly and all have great senses of humor! I only wish they would extend their hours!! It sounds really silly, but one of my favorite things is that they offer both sausage links and patties. Definitely a links kind of girl! Coffee is bomb, always fresh, and pancakes are super fluffy. Get the home fries over the hash browns, they're sliced like scalloped potatoes and deeeeeeeeelicious!

First time and great experience. Best corned beef hash in Orlando and great Reuben sandwich. Home made lemon chicken soup was very tasty. Worth trying and we will be back when near by

My wife and I love this place and frequently meet our friends here for brunch. If the corned beef hash Benedict is on the menu that day, get it!. I have never had a bad meal here and you will not go wrong with anything you choose. Great place!

I've been around the corner from Nicks for 5 years and I literally just visited this week for breakfast. I had the hillbilly deluxe sandwich which was absolutely amazing and everything came out piping hot! The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because I went back for lunch and was a little disappointed in my melted roast beef sandwich...it was good in flavor but dry. I'll definitely be back to try more things.

Just ordered breakfast, western omelette hash browns and bacon and even my hubby's French toast tasted home made! Impressed for a diner, food was fresh! Best in neighborhood! Orders always come correct and in time. We also has a dude of fries that were bulky me and my bf haven't ate like this in days. Well needed! Thanks!

One of my favorite places to eat, we are there often. Have noticed recently a rise in prices hope this isn't a trend and that they don't out price themselves. Love the food it's just like momma makes!!

We loooooooove it here. LOVE. Did you hear me?! Always pleasant service and quick, delicious diner food. The soups are to-die for, (almost) literally. They're completely homemade and the variety is great. Last time we stopped in, we had buffalo chicken and philly cheese steak soup. So good. This is definitely a place you need to try if you're a big soup fan.

I eat breakfast here on the weekends often. I love the home cooked food, none of this comes out of a can food!!

Nicks was fantastic diner food, exactly what we were looking for on this dreary day. Eggs are real, home fries are good, biscuits and gravy are made right. The wife got corn beef and hash omelet, very good. Hash browns were crunchy, just like they should be. Definitely give it a visit if you want good quality diner bfast.
(5)Ivette C.
Wow! What a great breakfast! Portions are extremely generous, the food came out super fast and hot! Definitely will be back again!
