Profile

The interior of Big Nick's resembles the inside of a 1960s RV: cramped, wood-paneled and smelling of grease. And the 28-page menu looks like what you'd find if you pulled that RV into a highway pit stop in Middle America. You can get just about any kind of diner food imaginable, from omelets to Greek salads to tuna melts, plus some larger plates like lasagna or grilled salmon. The serviceable food is a bit better than you'd expect from a roadside dive, and in keeping with Big Nick's full title, the burgers and the pizza are the highlights. The burgers are juicy and served on a thick Kaiser roll, and the thin-crusted, enormous pizza slices beat those at many pizzerias. If you don't feel like chowing down in either of Big Nick's two narrow rooms, order in (24 hours a day) or take a seat at the wood and metal tables outside and pretend that Broadway is Route 66. — Lauren Aaronson

This place was very busy on a Wednesday evening so they must be doing something right. The food is typical diner fare, but it's not bad. It's dependable. Reliable. Diner food is never terrible because expectations going into one are never really high. Our server seemed bored but not rude. The only thing that really angered me is that my party of four was asked to leave because other people were waiting. We were approaching the two hour mark after having ordered food, dessert , and coffee for four and we were having a nice time eating and chatting. So, to sum up, food on the better side of average, and donÂ´t forget, the sooner you are done eating here, the happier they will be ...

pretty?...no, delicious?...heck yes!

It's a funky place and I'd rather get it delivered than eat in the restaurant...BUT, it is the biggest menu and the food is consistantly excellent. It's people's food. There's nothing like a big Nick bacon cheeseburger and big juicy onion rings!
