“Loved this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2010

person found this review helpful

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 only small complaint I had is that I found the coffee a bit weak. Service was excellent and lots of locals here and the parking lot was full - always a good sign.

“Added to our list of favorites”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2009

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 back.

My Wife and I love eating at Nicky's and go there at least once a week! Even in the cold of winter, the place seems like summer with all the cool decorations and the service is incredible. You can learn more about them on Facebook as there's a Fan Page for Nicky's Crusin' Diner.

THIS is a GREAT restaurant!!
From the outside, it does not have a lot of fancy facades like "Everybody" seems to think a building needs.

Remember: "DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER"!!

GREAT GREAT GREAT......AND GREAT employees!! and what a setting inside in the back room!! Lots of decorations wit hthe 1930's and up flare from the former movies,
autos, etc!!

Good friends from Bangor introduced us Machiasites to this Great place!!
