Very hit and miss. We don't go as often as we used to.. It's usually the chef but really hate their low quality "maple" syrup.

Great food. Service sucks! Used to be our go to.. now I'll be hard pressed to return! If you go.. great straight forward French toast!! read more

Went to breakfast a few days ago and the greeter and seater looked and acted like she would rather be anywhere other than there. The waitress was very good. The sausage and eggs and pancake were very good. the potatoes were too greasy and not well done. Hash browns crispy would have made the meal perfrct! Lynn H. Surprise az. read more

Just another overpriced joint. Menu is boring. Food is subpar. The website is cheap looking with no prices. There's a area that shows "about us" and the page is blank! If you can't even get the website classy looking.... Stay home folks. You can get more flavorful, and less expensive food at your own house. ZERO WOWS. read more

Food, service whether breakfast or dinner has been great. So yummy! I just hungry thinking about their Friday Night Fish Fry... Just sad that they end the book ahead through Yelp to get you on the list. read more

It was ok! Nothing great, nothing bad. The service was excellent though! The waiter was very attentive read more

It's just not the old Nick's. Stale roll for my burger. Service is slow. No longer one of my favs.

This is a really nice diner. Service is always friendly. I come here every 2 weeks to pick up a breakfast meal for an elderly man in my mom's neighborhood. He loves their food. I place the order on the phone. Arriving I pass the lines of people waiting for a seat, pay, take his meal and go. A nice diner with good consistent food, prices and service. When I could eat more I enjoyed the One Egg Meat Skillet. My husband likes their gravy too! Just a good ol simple place with simple food done good. They sold the original Nick's Diner which I hear isn't as popular so do not get them confused. read more

AZ Diner - the outside of the restaurant - American Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Absolutely love this place, great food, great service. Caught this out of the corner of my eye, thought it was hilarious. No wonder there hot sauce is so spicy. ‍ 10/10 best place to go any day of the week. Waiters are really fast too, can't complain read more

AZ Diner - The only reason that hot sauce is spicy - American Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Friday late afternoon, we were seated immediately, drink orders taken and delivered right away. We ordered an open faced roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes (they were real) and a country fried steak with home fries. Two cups of clam chowder. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! As we saw the fish fry being delivered to several tables we decided we will be back for the Friday fish fry. Well done Nicks Diner, food and service done right! read more

This is the second time we've come here, when we are on this side of town. First time it was under renovations, but we enjoyed it so stopped by today. The renovations are done so it looks nicer. Very friendly staff, food came out really quick. Staff were all wearing masks, and were cleaning often. I got the corned beef breakfast, with pancakes. I like the way they do the corned beef here. It's not salty like other places. read more

I have missed the mark in Phoenix! I'm hitting all the mediocre places and unfortunately this was just that...mediocre. I can see why the retired locals like it. My grandparents would have loved it too. It seemed nice, staff were ok, and seemed clean. The food was just meh. I love a good hardy breakfast and this was your typical average diner food for the average pallet that doesn't care if food is good or not. Sorry about that...skip this place if you love good food. read more

Peter was so professional and was always checking on us to make sure we were accommodated. The food was delicious and fresh. Even for a Saturday we were sat quickly! read more

Always a great experience at Nick's 2 diner,great food,service and friendly staff at a reasonable price.But I have to rave at the meal I had on St.Patricks Day,that corned beef and cabbage was the best I ever had and Jesse the cook made a amazing tomatoes base sauce to really flavor up a usually bland cabbage and patatoe,and the corned beef was very tender read more

For breakfast/lunch this restaurant is great. Service very attentive and family ambiance. The mushroom and cheese omelette was excellent and the home potatoes are great. Stuffed French toast platter is great and more than enough for 2 people. First time going and was recommended by our AirBnb host Michelle. Definitely going back and recommend to eat here. read more

Good place to eat, great service, good food and atmosphere is nice. I feel at home and welcome here.

Wonderful service and great menu, was a little disappointed in my potato skin Benedict but, every other visit it was yummy!

It was our first visit to the diner and we were disappointed. We wanted to try the breaded pork tenderloin because we're from the Midwest and always on the lookout for a good one. The size of my tenderloin could not have been more than 2 ounces of meat. I was shocked at what we received for over $16.00 each. From the little I had, the taste was okay, but the bun dwarfed the meat. I left about 3/4 of the bun on the plate. We were advised the new owners cut back...they used to have 2 pieces of meat when Nick owned it and now it's only one. Please correct this mistake or I think you'll be losing business. I'm not sure we will be back. Prices are high and you get little to nothing for it. I wish I would have taken a photo. The server, Peaches, was great. read more

Used to be Nick's Diner. Same good food & service. Husband had the Greek Omelette and cleaned his plate. We'll go back

Great Gyros and many other items. Service was great and a hug variety. I.woll be back. read more

It's got a lil bit of everything you need in a dinner.... It closes to early for me so that's a local issue... other spots easily pick up the slack when they are closed.. They also have pick up that's awesome & fish Fridays.. read more

Meh. I went for dinner and was craving Greek food. I got Nick's Greek Chicken and was underwhelmed. It consisted of two halves of a chicken breast pounded to about a 1/4 inch with some sort of spice rub - dry and the edges were hard. The top breast was barely covered with some cooked spinach and feta cheese. There wasn't enough to add moisture to both pieces. Unadorned frozen green beans (they weren't overcooked) and rice were the side dishes. I may go back and try something else, but I'm not sure. read more

Went for breakfast (get there before 9 a.m.) to enjoy a variety of dishes. We were not disappointed! My omelet was delicious!! Everyone in the group was satisfied with their selection. Christy (with the bandana) was super friendly and helpful. If you want to eat out for breakfast/brunch, this is a great spot to go that doesn't take forever, but still has the flavors of a home-cooked meal!! read more

Food is always good and great portions vs price. Food comes out fast and waitresses are always nice.

This place is great. The food is always spot on and the staff is always pleasant. I've ordered breakfast and lunch here. I'll eventually try out dinner. read more

Juicy mouth-watering chicken tenders. I say the best chicken tenders in surprise! Plus they have thick-cut fries read more

AZ Diner - Chicken strips and fries - American Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

I was a big fan of this place. Last couple of months have been tough to excuse their practices. Food is till pretty good. But last time they said the reward points to get $10 off was moved to 250 without warning since their prices had gone up by around 30%. I said ok cool service and food are decent so no problem. This last week I went they started charging gratuity for parties of 4 and a toddler.... Almost $20. No where did it say gratuity was going to be added. It was disappointing that they are this money hungry. read more

Good diner food. We have had breakfast, lunch and dinner and all have been good homestyle cooked meals. Nothing fancy but just good home cooked food. Service is always good as well! My only wish is that they would be open later for dinner on more days than just Friday but I understand this family run business needs family time too. Some things we have tried; chicken fried steak breakfast, fruit covered waffle, corn beef hash, omelets, meatloaf, burgers (these are huge so be hungry)... everything has been yummy, never have had a bad meal or bad service. Be prepared to wait if eating in for breakfast as they are always busy and Friday nights they have a fish fry which is on our radar to try sometime. They are awesome at take out as well as we have been doing take out only since COVID. They always make sure you have utensils and all the condiments you could need. read more

I love this place! It's down home cookin and everything is yummy. The customer service is satisfactory and the restaurant is clean. I don't have any complaints at all. I think some of the negative comments are from "difficult people". I would ignore them and come have some great food! read more

Best breakfast around and excellent staff and menu They have a reward program so it's great to get money off every once in a while.... Service there is always top notch read more

The service is fast and the food is great! We go here on Fridays and they also give us free pie. I typically get the breakfast food because I love the French toast. read more

Great food more than you can eat good prices good old home cooked meals. Meet my buddies there every Friday morning. Wonderful staff. read more

My go to diner! Consistent quality, great service and breakfast is excellent! The Gyros are really good to if you don't want breakfast.

After my husband's early AM appointment at the VA in Surprise, I drove us directly to Nick's II for breakfast. We were there by 8:30 and seated immediately at one of the last open booths. People were pouring in. There was a group of 12 and also two groups of 8 already seated. There weren't a lot of servers. Do we have complaints? Nope!!! Our service was fabulous; food was cooked perfectly and arrived quickly. Our coffee cups were always full. Although the servers were swamped, they each greeted their customers with smiles and kind comments. Reasonably priced. Simply stellar. read more

We only waited 5 minutes on a busy Sunday morning. We were greeted immediately after we got to our table. Great service. We both ordered omelets and they were HUGE! Very good. Will definitely return. read more

Nick's Diner Ii offers a large choice of entrees. When my wife and I want to next daughter to we had a short wedding. However, it was certainly worth the wait. The food was excellent, the menu was never ending and the service was as good as the food. read more

Ok, I've been here before for breakfast, and it was very good. This time we visited for lunch and we were very disappointed. The food was bland at best. We ordered the following: Grilled chicken salad. Chicken hardly had flavor and it's overall presentation wasn't very appealing; came on a plate, sliced (bland) chicken on top of a bed of spring greens with a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and some pepperocini's. Having a large salad on a plate wasn't very practical either. BLT. No complaints here as BLT are really hard to mess up. Nothing special that sets it apart from any other BLT either though. It was fine. Fries were super bland. Breakfast...2 eggs (over-medium), bacon, and potatoes. Eggs came over-easy. Had to reorder over-medium. Potatoes were very bland. Turkey, bacon, ham club. Same as BLT; it was fine nothing special about it. They forgot the avocado. Again, fries were bland - if they had any salt, you couldn't notice. Overall, the food is very bland and not worth more than 2 stars. I'll give them 3 for the speedy and kind service. The only reason I would visit again is strictly for breakfast. read more

New owner its not Nicks diner anymore . Not the same ,the cook didn't care his name jesse read more

Apparently this is now Samantha and Nick's diner. The menu was ridiculously hard to read. The food was subpar. We will not be returning.

Good food. Just make sure to be willing to wait a few always busy but that is a good thing
