I can't believe people gave this "diner" such great reviews. I had dinner and it was just awful. The decor and atmosphere is friendly and inviting but my dinner had me wanting to run out the door. My chicken parmesan tasted canned and old. The pasta was extremely cheap. The sauce was clearly canned- and it was meat sauce! On... More

We have gone here for breakfast twice with several members of my family. The service is fairly good and so is the food. The diner look and feel is kind of cool also. It won't become a favorite of mine when I am in town, but I won't stay away from it either. I haven't tried lunch or dinner though,... More

Breakfast there was great but their lunch and dinners are simply horrible. I wouldn't recommend going there for lunch. And even though their breakfast is great it could have been priced better. More

The 1960s theme is something I really love, and this restaurant has that in spades! The decor, the music, and even the waitresses are authentic looking 1960s. We were there for breakfast this morning, though we've done a lot of lunches there as well. The food has that home-cooked taste, and the waitress was quite friendly, which has always been... More

Wonderful for a nice quiet informal meal anytime.The decor is lovely, the service great, no nonsense and a wide variety of options.We especially recommend the breakfast options. There are themed "nights" in the summer for bikers etc which adds to the ambiance.Great place! More

Checked here to find a good, quick place to grab a bite to eat. The reviews were favorable, so decided to give Nicky's a try. Just after 7pm, the place was about empty, and did receive quick service. The food was average and the prices were about the same. Not sure that wearing a colored scarf qualifies for 50 -... More

As other reviewers have stated - it doesn't look like much on the outside - Inside it is designed like an old fashioned diner, even the staff is dressed like the 60s. There is memorabilia everywhere and the food is good and cheap. They serve breakfast all day and their menu has a lot of variety. We did breakfast. The... More

After reading the reviews we decided to check this place out. Great menu, great prices, and the portions were a good size. They open at 5 am for breakfast so we went back the next morning for a great breakfast. The decor is 50's diner and a little cheezy, but we were pleased with our meal. We will definitely go... More
