Everyone can find some thing on the menu here waitresses are old-school, and for me that's a plus. This place is a diner through and through. If you don't know if you like diners, you probably don't. If you like diners, this will be on your rotation if it's good no big potatoes till after four that's disappointing but the rest of the menu isn't. read more

Nicks diner II. Gyro and a side cup of clam chowder. I know, and unlikely combination. The clam chowder was the highlight of this lunchtime meal. I'm sure it was pre-prepared as I really doubt anyone in that kitchen would take the time and effort to make real homemade clam chowder. But it did taste all right...stale crackers... Now on to the gyro. I have been on a quest to find a decent gyro on the west side of the valley since I moved here a couple years ago. I have come to the conclusion that it just doesn't exist. (Anymore) But at least Nicks uses real Gyro meat, so there's that. The problems with Gyro are as follows: the onions were so stringy and bitter that I couldn't eat them and that's saying something. The tomatoes are rock hard, and the Tzatziki tasted off. Like it had soured. The Gyro meat itself tasted just OK, but the pita bread was the best component of the whole sandwich. All of that said, this Gyro was better than The competitors with their "New and improved" fake processed "meat". I noticed some other dishes going out from the kitchen that looks pretty good so I may go back to Nick's at some point to try something else. But this is not a place for gyros. I guess Peta wraps will have to do if I want a Gyro and don't want to drive to the other side of the valley. Dang I wish we had a real diner in surprise. read more

Great service and food. Allowed us to split a pita, it was great. Always is consistent.

When it was Nicks Diner 2 it was awesome we had been going there since 2012 and then when Samantha took it over it just went down hill the prices went up and the food quality went down. read more

Chicken fried steak and eggs....is there a better rainy morning breakfast? Ours was everything we hoped for; a nice big , thick piece of meat, perfectly cooked eggs, a huge helping of thin sliced home fries, delicious gravy and a fluffy biscuit. Delicious! Casey, our server, despite being very busy was attentive, efficient and genuinely friendly. My suggestion is come hungry but be prepared for a short wait. The restaurant was clean and the staff did a good job of quickly clearing tables and reseating. We won't wait for it to rain to return, BEST local breakfast we have found! read more

First time trying it! Big Portions reasonably price! Brought my friends with me and they really enjoyed it too! Our waiter was on the ball with everything! I had the 3 egg, bacon, sausage and home fries! I highly recommend it read more

Food was not all that great. I was expecting a little bit more out of a breakfast facility service was good though.

I got the fish and chips dinner. It was tasty and the portions were huge that I couldn't even finish it. It comes with soup as well and I couldn't eat that (need to have vegetarian option) as it was chicken lemon rice which my husband said it was delicious. I placed the order for a pick up and it was ready promptly. Would definitely like to try more of the menu in the future. read more

Always delicious! Generous portions and the potato pancakes are soooo gooood!! Coffee refills and plentiful as well!

We came to Nick's Diner for the second time, on a Sunday, and we were absolutely delighted with the service we received. The restaurant was pretty busy and yet we were sat within 2 minutes! Don't even get me started on our server, Rene. She was super friendly and made wonderful suggestions for us to try. Nick's will definitely continue to be our go to for breakfast due to their quick and friendly service! You guys need to try it out!!!! read more

First time here with my sons, they wanted to try it. They've never been here. I ordered a burger. The burger was dry. The fries were kind of greasy. I think it reminded me of a Denny's on steroids but other than that it was OK but I probably most likely won't come here again. read more

Nick's knows how to run restaurant. The food is good, the wait staff is friendly, and the experience has always met our expectations. We have enjoyed both breakfast and lunch at Nick's, usually we are there on Saturday mornings. Nick's is also our go to when we have guests staying with us. Be sure to join their rewards program. $100 accumulated food purchase earns a $10 discount. read more

Love this place for breakfast, the best in town! We will eventually try lunch/dinner. The staff is awesome, and the prices are great for the portion sizes. read more

The food and the service are great. I don't like the pies though they aren't good. They are way too sweet and not at all freshly made. You can tell they've been sitting in a carton box for days. read more

Great food and a very nice wait staff. Will definitely be going back. Their breakfast came out very fast.

The entire staff was upbeat and smiling. Everyone of them seemed to enjoy their job and was interactive without being bothersome. I had the meat skillet and it was great. I like my eggs over easy and they were perfect. It was definitely worth the thirty minute trip and I will be coming back soon. read more

We are new to Surprise and my wife and I have been looking for places we can frequent and enjoy. First time eating at Nick's II and we appreciated how clean and maintained it was. Renee was our server and we felt as if we were already regulars. The food was really good also. Nick's will be at the top of our list as we continue to get to know our area. read more

Got the Suzie Sparkle breakfast sandwich, was a good sandwich with lots of flavor. The staff was inviting and kind. However, my order was take-out and I did not appreciate having a gratuity added to the cost of my order. Wouldn't come again read more

Great breakfasts. Excellent servers. Very clean and always friendly. Love this place read more

This is a favorite lunch break spot for my co-workers and I, because the menu is so diverse. You can get Greek, Italian, traditional American, and just plain 'ol breakfast foods all at the same place. How do I know this already? Strangely, they have another location on Reems and Greenway, while this "Diner II" is a 5 minute drive away at Litchfield and Waddell! The staff is so friendly here! It's like being greeted on the show Cheers whenever we come in. They know that I always order Greek chicken kabobs with a side order of the chicken lemon rice soup. If you are ever ill or someone you love is ill, get a bowl of their chicken lemon rice soup, and trust me, you'll feel better! It's seriously must be what the Chicken Soup for the Soul book must be based on (well, aside from the typical "Aw" feel good stories). The gyros are ginormous! I just wish that the feta cheese on the side wasn't extra, because gyros don't seem to be gyros without the cheese! My friend, Kerry M., loves the fact that breakfast is served all day. She's had the biscuits and gravy dish and the hash browns which she said were delicious! I will continue to go to Nicks Diner I and II, because I enjoy their food, their company, and I love to support local restaurants. There are no bells and whistles, like swanky walls or posh decor (in fact, this location is super green... not kidding... walls, booths, tables...) This place is all about just comfort food for laid back people. read more

Good food reasonably priced good service nice people very clean. Been there a few times always really good.

Love it! Staff is outstanding. Restaurant is very clean. I have gone here dozens of times and know what to expect.

We have been to previous location and it was extremely slow... this new location is excellent! Fast and friendly service! Great place to go with the family for breakfast or lunch. Reminds me of east coast style diner food! Cinnamon rolls on the weekends are HUGE and delicious! read more

The cinnamon rolls are HUGE and to die for!!! I love coming here for breakfast. Service is always top notch even when they are super busy.

It is not an impressive looking restaurant from the outside but they serve breakfasts that are what you remember from childhood and the wait staff is efficient and friendly. It's my go to place for taking family and friends to when we want a breakfast any time of the day. read more

Breakfast two days in a row. Huge portions and super fast and fresh. Weekly specials very well priced. Perfect coffee and hot tea delivered with all the extras. Best home fries and potato cake I've had in a long time! French toast was also super yummy and classically delicious. Wish we were around for the Greek specialties! read more

Great mom n pops style restaurant. I was there for breakfast. Good service and a huge menu selection. They actually to fresh corned beef hash. I must try that next time. I just had biscuits and gravy today with a side of bacon. The gravy was flavorful. No complaints at all from this place. read more

Only been there once and ordered some Greek food. It was good. The service was very good however the ambiance is that of a normal family restaurant. Certainly not outstanding but clean and bright. read more

Over the past year the quality of their meals have not been as good. The prices are higher but quality has started going down hill. We are choosing to go other places. read more

Great food and service and reasonable prices. Local favorites and farm fresh. Very clean!

We are in town for football and found this spot on Yelp. Super excited cause all the reviews were good. I called prior to getting here and asked about the wait for a party of 9 as we were on our way. The hostess said it would be a 30 minute wait and they would have to put tables together. I asked if they can put my name down and she said yes. When we arrived I walked in and said I had called, asked about a large party and gave our name she said oh we don't do reservations. Instead of providing an apology and offering to add us to the list. So at this point I put our name for 9 on the list and was told 30mins. After about 45 mins and watching several parties of 4 or more being seated we went in to see how much longer, again instead of apologizing for the wait they reiterated that we do not take reservations. At this point we're just looking to get seated. We were finally seated and our waitress was Red. I can honestly say that she is the only reason that I did not give a 1 star. We placed an all breakfast order - chicken fried steak, waffles, pancakes, French toast, meat lovers skillet, steak and eggs, potatoes, cheesesteak and fries, and that big ass cinnamon roll. I can say that our food was amazing, it was hot and it came out quick. If we are in town again we will come back and ask for Red. read more

Amazing food and great service!! Super clean and friendly, super fast we just wait for 3 minutes to be seated

Ordered a Club Salad to go. I've eaten here a couple of time and have had good food. However, today was horrible! Why is it so hard to get a salad with fresh lettuce? Everything in my salad was fresh and tasted good, except the lettuce. I always inspect my lettuce, especially if it's Spring Mix, and upon close inspection most of my lettuce had brown spots on it or was wilted and slimy the way lettuce gets when it's old. I would definitely pay close attention to your lettuce if you order a salad from here. This picture is a fraction of what my lettuce looked like. Yuck!!!! read more

(Review is for breakfast shift) This is a middle of the road breakfast stop. It's "OK". Nothing TERRIBLE about it. My sister and I went to breakfast. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my sister got the gyro omelette. The eggs benedict were just okay. The gyro omelette was a little bit on the dry side. We both ordered coffee and the waitress never came over to offer refills. We had to flag her down and ask for more. The atmosphere is decent and the service is friendly. Taste and quality of food gets the 3-star rating. read more

Truly family friendly!! Great food, portions large enough to share or save for leftovers!! Very home style and comfort yummy food!!!

Went for breakfast after church. We ordered our food. It was brought out cold. Husband asked for decaf coffee. She brought regular coffee. I knew it wouldn't do us any good to complain because she messed up on people's bill across from us charging them for orange juice. Customer tried 2 to 3 times to take it off and finally they stopped her and she gave them $3.00 from her tips so she didn't have to redo the bill. She said she was having trouble multitasking . My bill was $29.00 for eggs. & oatmeal which is ok if it's hot. Won't come back. read more
