Now the restaraunt under new ownership. The energy is better food is better, Waitress and other employees seem happier. My favorite place to eat. read more

Great service, friendly staff and yummy food!! Coffe and real cream is delicious. I'll definitely go back again!!

Nicks was pretty good. A little pricey but what isn't? Food was tasty and good service. Nice location and clean. Has a nice patio to enjoy on sunny days read more

Awesome broiled Cod! Waitress was very friendly. Service was decent, either had a lot of patrons that night or not enough staff. Never had a bad meal there. read more

The food is really good. However their prices are outrageous. No reason to charge as much as they do. They also do weird little things like put their milk in a weird shape glass just so you get less. It could be an amazing place but not until they stop screwing you over. Their only goal is get "money money money " the word customer isn't even in their goal. read more

Great local eatery. One of the best "mom and pop" casual dining establishments in the Tri-state, and definitely the best place to dine in the North Bend/Cleves area. read more

My friend and I had dinner at Nick's yesterday. We arrived around 5:00pm and the restaurant was pretty much empty. We were immediately seated in a well worn, but comfortable, booth. Pros: not a chain, friendly employees, cleanliness, and comfortable atmosphere (felt like home). My friend and I both chose the open face roast beef. We were a bit leery about it due to its speedy arrival, but it tasted good. The mashed potatoes were real, which was a definite plus. Cons: iced tea is not brewed (it was that powder crap), the gravy that accompanied the roast beef was most certainly from a jar, and the lemon meringue pie was still partially frozen (and clearly not made there). I think Nick's would be much better if they would reduce the size of the menu and concentrate on making everything from scratch. read more

Such a surprise! Chose here for brunch because I was meeting someone who babysat in the Cleves area. Nick's was recommended by a friend. Like the Yelper I am, I visited their page before going - there wasn't much to see. Well don't let that stop you from checking it out! The food was DELICIOUS and plated very well. With a diverse menu, I feel like there's something for everyone. Just check out my photos! We had a 16 month child with us and the older waitress was very playful with him and accommodating, bringing out extra jellies to play with. Apart from us, there was maybe only 2 or 3 tables that were taken. While empty for us, I really hope the place fills up during the true lunch hour and at dinner! Seems to be a great place for small and large groups, as there were definitely enough tables to put together. Will return! Definitely. read more

Truthfully the food is good here. We are frequent flyers at nicks because we live across the street. Nicole or her mother wait on us and we always have a great experience with them. Today, however, we experienced the one, the only, Nick. The way he talks to the servers is unacceptable. All we heard our entire visit was a constant brow beating of one veteran employee. We also witnessed him barking orders at other servers. These people are the reason for your success, act like it, Nick. I can say we will most likely never dine in again. But know this is not because of poor service or bad food, but we will not support a local business that treats their employees the way we witnessed today. Thank you Nicole for your outstanding service, we appreciate you, and good luck! read more

I went to Nick's for dinner last night, after having visited for (wonderful) breakfast years ago. This is exactly the kind of diner every small town should have. Upon entering I was very warmly greeted by owner Nick, who showed me to a table and let me know about all the specials. I was tempted to get breakfast, which I know is delicious and available all day! I was frankly overwhelmed by their fairly large and diverse menu, but opted for ribs after consulting with the waitress. For being baked and grilled (and not smoked) they were quite good, tender but not mushy, with a nice tasting house sauce on them. They came with a side of sweet potato fries, which included a special marshmallowy dipping sauce, a very cool idea. All around me I saw people ordering and savoring cod and catfish, which was also prominent on the menu, so I'll give that a try next time. Also tempting is their spread of homemade desserts, which I succeeded in avoiding just barely! read more

I GIVE UP! I am so disappointed in this restaurant again after five years we decided to give it one more chance. I ordered a double hamburger (their Big Boy version) and chicken strips that looked more like chicken nuggets. The hamburger was dry, old freezer burnt tasting. The chicken fingers (3) were more like soggy chicken nuggets with nasty warm coleslaw for $30, with dry burnt crinkle fries without a Coke. How do these places stay in business? I wanted a Reuben, which was on the online menu that is called a New York Reuben, the order taker didn't even know what it was. I do not recommend this place. read more

they used to open at 8:00 for breakfast and they changed it to 9:00 and it didn't make it any better came in at 9:05 and didn't get food for 40 minutes almost no one there maybe 5 tables it's just awful and expensive for what you get.... read more

The decor is pretty nice, good interior! The food is just alright. I ordered "The gut buster breakfast" or something. It consisted of a sauasage patty (frozen), 2 eggs (pretty decent eggs), a half order of biscuits and gravy (biscuits don't seem home made but they were ok, gravy was good), and 2 strips of bacon (little bit too fatty for my taste.) My gut is still fully intact, which i'm a little disappointed by. Meal was alright! 7/10 read more

I absolutely love their breakfast selections and their Eggs Blackstone is amazing!! Never disappointed read more

Absolutely wonderful place to dine. For breakfast there are many Omelets. I love the fluffy pancakes with warm syrup and chantilly cream. The Cod Fish Basket is my favorite go to item on the menu. The fish is battered to order. You have your choice of steak fries or crinkle cut fries. It is served with Cole slaw. I love the Cole slaw. The dinner rolls are served warm with "real" butter. No cutting corners here. I also recommend the "Kentucky Hot Brown". You will find none better in Louisville on Derby Day. The atmosphere reflects the love the Owner Nick has for horse racing. There are pictures of racing horses throughout the restaurant. It is quaint and comfortable. There is a full bar and also a couple of good draft beers. Now, dessert. There is no better Cheesecake or Carrot Cake in the Greater Cincinnati area. You must have a piece. If you can't eat it there, take a piece home. Prices are reasonable for quality of food. You get plenty on your plate. The service is outstanding. Sue is the best. Parking is good. read more

Gotta love a good dinner. Subvert your expectations from a clean and tidy corporate spot this is genuine good, hometown food with good REAL people. That being said the only thing holding it back from 5 stars in my book is a quick once over to clear some dust and the prices are on the high side. read more

New visitor to Cleve's Ohio and was invited to breakfast. Ordered the Mazatlan omelette substituting homemade grits for the American potatoes. Eye toast. Service was good. Plenty of seating for breakfast (although I am told that dinner can get crowded). The Mazatlan is a 'south of the border' omelette prepared with chorizo sausage. The omelette was okay - I prefer it spivey and with real salsa. Highlight of the meal was the homemade grits. Rye toast was out of a bread bag from the local supermarket and not worth it. Prices a bit high for what you get. Note: many of the natives will call this place "Cleve's Drive In" read more

We eat in or carry out about once a week from this place when we're in Cleves, Ohio which is most of the summer and a few weeks during the fall & winter. We've been disappointed lately the food is pretty good most of the time but the value is no longer good. We ordered two of their strawberry chicken salads when we picked up the order each salad had about 1/2 of a chicken breast each and when we picked up the order, they told us they were out of the peppercorn dressing which makes the salad. Cost over $30.00 no rolls nothing else. We're not planning on going back. read more

Someone in the kitchen has no clue as to what they're doing. It was during Lent and of course they were pushing fish. I'm not big on fish so I ordered a burger. I noticed there were onion straws on the menu. I love onion straws. Imagine my surprise when the onion straws tasted terrible. I sent them back and asked for another order. The second order was worse. It was then I realized the onion straws were fried in the same grease as the fish. What a rookie mistake. Horrible. Should never happen. Apparently Rick doesn't care about providing quality food to his patrons. read more

We really like this place. Not a trendy brunch place, but the food is so good! They have a full bar too and delicious bloody Mary's. I've had the key west omelet and the eggs black stone. Biscuits and gravy is perfect. Service is great even when they are busy. read more

I super enjoyed my meal - I just had a cheeseburger it was v. good. Sweet potato fries were just okay. My fav part was the coffee... served with a whipped topping! My dinner date had a hot brown that looked wildly delicious and cheesy Bread pudding is super traditional and best with ice cream. I will definitely be back (and bring my appetite) to try some of the specials - specifically the pork chop! That is the one thing I noticed is most things come as a whole meal so you gotta come hungry or leave with a go box! Also, I've heard folks RAVE about the breakfast (served all day). If you're coming from downtown Cincy it's a little bit of a drive, but what a pretty drive! And a well worth it one in my opinion. read more

Great little diner. Food was good quality. Service was fast. I got the country ham. Came with 2 eggs, home fries or grits and toast of biscuits. Good amount of food for cheap. If I'm in the area again, I'll come back. read more

Bottom line: Go to Nick's -- you won't be disappointed! From the moment we walked in the door, we were immediately welcomed by Nick himself who made us feel like we were their #1 customers. It's not often you receive such a warm reception at restaurants these days. He enthusiastically told us about a couple of their daily specials and then seated us in the bar area, as requested. [He even gave us control of the remote for the bar area tv!] Perusing their vast menu is a mouth-watering exercise -- so many delicious sounding options for breakfast, lunch and dinner! We landed on the Eggs Blackstone for me and the Hillbilly Breakfast special for hubby, which included their in-house made sausage, two eggs any style, home fries and a biscuit with gravy. Everything was absolutely delicious! Service was excellent as well. We will definitely visit again to try other entree options; my hubby had his eye on the Cuban, Cajun Carbonara, Open Roast Beef, Grilled Chicken Livers, and plenty of others. Personally, I wouldn't mind digging into the New Orleans bread pudding on our next visit! read more

Love this family owned business in our neighborhood. Great menu choices and friendly service.

This little gem is tucked away in the adorable little town . The hospitality alone leaves a lasting impression. I was greeted by an energetic and extremely polite handsome man, who simply lite up the room. The ambiance is classy yet comfortable. The waitresses make you feel like they are there to only serve you. Every cup of coffee comes with their signature cream that is HEAVEN!!! I cant brag about this place enough and my only regret is not finding it sooner. read more

We have been here before and the food has been ok, nothing special. This time I ordered their ribs. I have had them before and they were ok and I love ribs so I ordered them to go. They were awful. They were so over cooked that they were mush and the bbq sauce tasted like ketchup, they forgot part of my order. It was a terrible experience. For the prices that they charge the food should be much much better then it is. I wont go back. read more

Stateline was out the door so we kept driving down 50 towards cincy. Then we see all these signs saying eat at nicks, so we thought what the heck let's eat at nicks.

It was one of the best burgers I have had and he almost didn't give a a bite I hit breakfast with a side of biscuits and gravy. Sandy brought me a Irish coffee with homemade chintilly cream num num I will be back. You should go it was great read more

We ate at Nicks yesterday and it was lousy 17.99 for 4 chicken livers.And there giant johnny was just terrible tasted bad.Nicks has always been on the expensive side but you would always get a high quality meal for your money not anymore,low quality high prices dirty menu and restraunt.It has been going down hill for a while now dont waste your time or money.For the same price you can go to the Bier house on 128,you wont be sorry,or even Nick and Toms on bridgetown. read more

Nick's is a west side gem. This is one of my favorite spots for brunch. They have amazing coffee with a chantilly cream that they make in house. It's the bomb. Sweet and thick, with a little taste of booze (they use brandy)! Nick's offers all of the breakfast staples. Omelettes, pancakes, waffles, eggs Benedict, all the meats and amazing biscuits and gravy. My personal favorite is the spinafuccini omelette which had spinach, tomatoes, feta, Monterey cheese and onions. So flavorful and cheesy. They're omelettes are served with fried potatoes and toast. You get a ton of food for what you pay. I always walk away with leftovers! The staff is so friendly and warm. Nick is usually there on Sunday mornings and the place gives you the vibe that everyone knows each other! read more

Been there twice. I am going back on Monday . Food was good. Nice atmosphere was good too.

Food tastes like home made. Service is with a smile and very attentive. Nicks is very Clean, attractively and tastefully decorated. It is a great place to eat tasty food and relax with friends and family. I have been going here for years and years with friends and family. I ate lunch with my friends at Nicks last week. Our young server was very patient with our group. We stayed a long time to visit so I left a double tip. It was worth it. read more

Always friendly and good food... Large menu but ask for the specials many of them are homemade.

Homestyle cooking, local owned business. Fabulous homemade desserts. A nice neighborhood restaurant to eat with family or friends.

A mixed review. The fried chicken was fantastic. The Cajun Mac and cheese was also really tasty. However the cheese burger was very dry and not at all appealing for my mother-in-law. Me, I ordered the fried roughy. The portion was just not what I expected. It was the "special" but it just wasn't what I had hoped for. I expected a nice filet that was hand dipped l. It was more if a prebreaded filet with a lot of corn meal. I ordered broccoli, but they were out of it and got roasted veggies instead. They were out of something else with the order so they gave me Mac and cheese. Normally we get lunch after church at Nick's. So the breakfast food is really good. Maybe next time. read more

Good food, great service and wide variety of items. Worth going a little off the beaten path for.

slow service, server did not ask if we were ready to order, after food was dropped off server did not check in or give any refills our whole visit, got the cuban sandwich and there were bones half the size of the sandwich in it. very disappointed read more
