Wonderful place! Family owned and the food is delicious! It is dearly loved by a community that cherishes good food and even better company. The proprietor/cook is very nice. He always has a smile on his face and welcomes patrons into a warm and welcoming environment. I've been a customer for approximately 12yrs and encourage you to stop in. You will be glad you did. read more

Nick & Joan's Place - Chocolate chip pancakes, side, ham, ice water - American Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Wow! Just don't find great owner/operator diners like this very often. The food: just solid and tasty. The owner Nick cooking behind the line: what a great guy. One visit and instantly felt like the most regular customer. I loved my visit and loved the food. read more

I ate here for the first time recently, and it was clear Nick and Joan's had a lot of regulars, which is indicative of the quality of the food and the service. You can see the cook chopping up vegetables, and making the food, so you know what you're getting is fresh and it really shows in the food. My omelette, toast and home fries were all great. Overall, great little breakfast place, no complaints! read more

Nick & Joan's Place - Customized omelette with broccoli, onions, peppers and cheddar cheese. - American Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Just a perfect diner!!! Great food and friendly service. We were in town visiting family and I am so glad we stopped here before heading home. I got the Nick #2 and my wife got the French Toast...both were great! My daughter got the Michaela and it was fantastic; in fact, enjoyed it so much we decided we will try to copy the meal at home. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I grew up in the diner capital of New Jersey, so I've had my fair share of omelettes. Some massive, some too small, some too cooked, or not cooked enough, both over filled and and over seasoned, and definitely some under. This one I had from Nick and Joan's was perfect, exactly what I was hoping for this morning. Not massive, but not too small (I did get the full size), and very well filled. It's an excellent size for a pre-work breakfast, one where you're content, but won't feel too stuffed and get nothing done for the next hour or two. Broccoli inside was a great firmness, onions nicely cooked, and the cheese was melted wonderfully throughout. I could have gone with a bit more tomato, but that's just personal preference. Home fries probably won't be every ones favorite style depending what you're used to, but I think they had a nice texture. They are seasoned lightly, so they can work whether you like adding ketchup or eating plain. Not heavily fried and oily like some diners, nor were they a coated crisp like a T's / Friendly's. They are a potato home fry, not a fry home fry, very reminiscent of ones I would typically get back in Jersey, but a tad less fried / charred. The mains were great, but the toast stood out, and I was too excited to take a picture. Nice browning, but still soft and verrrry well buttered. Perfect diner toast. I've lived in this area for seven years now, and I'm super upset this is the first time I've gone. Even just walking in the door is a great experience, everyone is very friendly, Nick takes time off the griddle to walk around and say hi to people, whether they are dining in or getting it to go. Great family atmosphere, both from the workers and the patrons, plus it helps that some of both are actually family it seems. Very rare to see a restaurant so upbeat and wholesome these days, and I'm very happy this is in walking distance. Can't wait to go back! read more

Breakfast is okay. I got the Nick #1 - 2 eggs, homefries and toast ($5.25). The egg's were alright and the homefries weren't great. They didn't have too much flavor like paprika, pepper, etc and some pieces were barely sauteed/too mushy, some had the right amount of crunch. I also got 2 peanut butter chip pancakes ($2.50 each). I was disappointed how small they were, but they were light and the bites with the peanut butter chips were very satisfying. Old school diner vibes, but maybe too old school. Nice spot for my 64 year old dad. Food is a 3, but the service is a 5+. The main waitress was incredibly friendly and Nick was cooking my breakfast while asking me how I wanted things along the way. read more

My husband Bob and I drove by the Gateway Shopping Plaza at 1633 Warwick Avenue and noticed the Nick and Joan's All Day Breakfast sign. We stopped to pick up a friend and the three of us decided to give it a try. It was full of customers and we had to wait for a table, fortunately for us a very sweet young couple gave up their table and moved to a smaller one so that we could sit down. Everyone, the owner, the wait staff and the customers were so friendly to us. It was wonderful. I'm vegan and for the first time, I was able to order a vegan breakfast along with toast and vegan margarine. I got the Michaela: A mix of grilled potatoes and vegetables along with coffee. The Michaela overfilled my plate and it was very tasty. My husband and friend got the usual non vegan breakfast fare of ham and eggs, homefries and toast, a cheese omelet with homefries and toast. We all thought the food we received was delicious. We were quite satisfied and happily full. I can't recommend this lovely little restaurant enough, it's easy to get to and has plenty of parking. Honestly, you have to try it. read more

The best service ever! I came here for the first time with a kid I was watching, and as soon as we walked in they were friendly and attentive. Not long after our drinks being delivered, the kid starting shaking and covering her ears-she was overstimulated by the noise. We stepped outside and I asked for the food to go because I didn't want her to be uncomfortable. They immediately said no problem. While we were waiting outside for the food to be done, the owners, Nick and Joan, came to check on us. They then brought out a table and chairs for us so my kiddo could eat outside away from the noise. Such wonderful service that they did not have to do by any means.... Plus the food is delicious! I will absolutely come here again. The sweetest people ever read more

Nick & Joan's Place - Omelet and home fries - American Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

The food and atmosphere are on point. I stopped in while waiting for the UPS to open. Absolutely a gem.

Not only was our Greek Omelet "The Best", but watching the Chef perform his magic at the griddle was astonishing!

Service is quick and friendly. Food tastes fresh. Seating is normal for a diner. It's a nice little place and everyone knows everyone. It's nice to see so many people are regulars here. read more

I've stopped in here a few times with my great niece who I babysit in Mondays. Staff is super friendly and attentive Food has always been good. Love being able to see the cook make our meal. Try the Coney Island omelet. You can have a half or full order. read more

Great food ,Nick & Joan are wonderful people .They have such a great waitstaff! People that come in are very friendly!

Well, what a first visit!! Greeted at the door by Nick was genuinely happy we were there. Nearly full at 9 was a great sign. The signs say 38 years, and he and his staff is why they have made it. The staff is so happy to help you. The omelet was perfect. The raisin French Toast was just great. Bacon was very good. They have a great menu for a small place. There in a plaza on a busy corner. Excellent Ice coffee too. My family just retired after my mom running a place for 45 years. Good luck Nick & Joan, you can do the same because you love what you do!! read more

Good food and service at a reasonable price. No wonder every table was full! Operated by a Greek family!

What can we say! Dad and daughter behind the counter! The best around! Old school where old school belongs! Oh and that fat ham on the flat top says it all! read more

I went there l last week for the omelet, bacon and toast. The food was well prepared and delicious. As advertised, the environment reminded me of years ago in the old neighborhood. Very friendly people, some of whom seemed to know each other, were greeting people as they came in the door. I soon realized these were regular customers at Nick&Joans. H.Hill read more

The cutest diner! Pictures of family, friends, and patrons all over the walls. I can see why it has been a staple in the community for the last 39 years. Service and food were great! Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Yummy as usual! service with a smile Typical cozy breakfast vibe Leave with a full tummy and $ well spent!

Familiar and friendly. Hot coffee and tasty food cooked in sight that leaves your belly full at an affordable price. A classic ole diner feel. A lot of regulars, I assume, as there was a familiarity. Regular or not, it was friendly and comfortable with great coffee and food! read more

Great ham off the bone, good coffee, Nick has a great customer friendly personality, service was fabulous. Really enjoyed our breakfast there and definitely will be back !! read more

First time trying this little breakfast spot bright and early before my work shift. I called in my order & was greeted warmly when picking up my order. So excited to have a go-to breakfast location right next to my Lifespan workplace!!! Thank you for the yummy food & great service!! Will be back very SOON! read more

Nick & Joan's Place - Sweet touches like this make me come back for more!!! Thank you for making breakfast fun!! - American Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

The food and family made this restaurant memorable to me. I was visiting from Houston earlier this year and enjoyed my breakfast so much that I made a return visit. Next time I visit Providence I will be back. Thanks Nick and Joan. read more

1st time there. Menu is larger than the grill! Be prepared to wait at least a half an hour for your food if they are busy. They cook one order at a time, as that is all their grill can handle, and the don't send out the entire table of food at once. Food was OK but nothing special. I personally won't go back. read more

I drive past this place most days on my way to work and finally decided to try it and I'm glad I did. The waitstaff and chef were beyond friendly and welcoming. I felt like I was having a meal at someone's home based on the hospitality! They have your standard breakfast options along with some unique twists. I decided to go with the wiener omelette which for all of us Rhode Islander's, it is exactly what you are thinking (chopped up seiners, sauce, onions, celery salt, and mustard inside). It was even served with toasted wiener rolls which was a nice touch. It was great and if you are daring I would recommend trying it. Now that I have finally tried this place, I will definitely be back! read more

I passed by this place so many times driving throughout Warwick and always told myself "I should go there one day!" Well, "that day" was today. My fiancee and I had no power when we woke up, so we decided to go here at 6am. We were greeted by Nick himself and we got seated. It's really hard to explain in words, but we felt so "at home". Whether it's the pictures throughout the years taped on the wall, the "old school" Pepsi menu hanging on the front, or the simplistic "old fashioned" diner....it just felt so calming. Nick was so quick to get us our coffees, take our orders, make it, and come back with it. We initially thought the serving size was kind of small, but in reality...it just hit the spot! I got the Nicks #2 and my fiancee got the Michaela. It was really good and it was really affordable too....about $20 for both of us with coffees! Living in Warwick for almost 3 years, I can't believe I just ate here for the first time...we will definitely be coming back! If you're in the area, please stop by :) read more

The biggest draw of this place? Nick and Joan, the cook-owners, thank you. The first time, I asked for a customized 2-egg white omelet with spinach and mushrooms. They added in scallions, without asking, though. I wish they would ask first. The server forgot my creamer -- after asking if I wanted half and half or regular cream. No biggie but I felt sort of overlooked that day. Thankfully, I have been back more than 3x since then and find eating here to be a comfort in terms of the local neighborhood feel (you don't have to live here to get that feeling)-- but check out the pictures of fans on the wall, as well as the transformation of Joe (owner/head cook) over the years-- endearing. If you want to know what Rhode Island is about, you visit places like this. It is also a comfort in terms of friendly service, and reliable, no-nonsense, homestyle food. Nothing fancy but just hits the spot. It's like waking up to your mom's cooking. You don't expect super fancy but get something reassuringly good. That's not to say they don't have a specials menu. They do! read more

Visiting Providence from Syracuse and stopped in for breakfast. I was quickly greeted with a smile from Nick and made a new friend. The eggs, sausage, muffins, bacon and hashbrowns were exceptional. The atmosphere is second to none, from the open grill, bar stools, Cross on the register, menu over the gripp and friendly service. You will miss out if you dont stop in! A+++ Rating read more

In town on business, meeting a colleague for breakfast, and could not have found a better place! The quaint diner, located in a little strip mall, is unassuming. You get the feeling this is where the locals go to get good grub. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with smiles. It was like I was being invited into someone's home. Joan took care of my colleague and I. She was nothing short of fantastic. The coffee is hot and perfect, and my cup never had a chance to get empty, she was always there offering a refill. My omelette was delish!!! I had one with cheese and tons of veggies. It was the perfect size, not too greasy, and came with delicious home fries and a grilled english muffin. Seriously, the food was really good, portion sizes spot on, and prices were reasonable. Next time I am in town, I will be back. Thanks Joan! read more

Delicious food, tons of options, friendly staff, good prices. Will definitely be back!

This is probably my favorite breakfast place since moving to RI. It's a small family owned and operated business. They are exceptionally welcoming and make a delicious meal at a great price. (They also serve lunch, I need to try that.) I enjoy the atmosphere and I enjoy the banter between the employees and their regular customers. You can just feel how much they care about what they do. Thank you! read more

I think that this place is my new favorite breakfast place since Johnny B's Diner closed in Cranston years ago. Nick and Joan's have a huge list of options for breakfast, great prices, and an old school diner decor that brings you back. While those things alone would be good, it is the staff that really makes the place. They are fun, fast, and friendly. The wall above the booths is lined with dozens and dozens of photos of patrons too, which shows that they care. You can see that things here are made with love . The giant ham on the grill waiting to be carved as needed makes me smile. You might miss this place while driving by, as it is tucked into a strip mall near Hoxsie Four Corners. Do yourself a favor and give them a visit. My wife and I are willing to drive from Scituate, RI to eat here and understanding the Rhode Island mentality about driving more than 15 minutes sometimes requiring an overnight stay, this speaks volumes. read more

Nick and joan's is the best type of restaurant. I have been coming here since I was little and nothing has changed. Nick still behind the counter slicing off big chunks of ham into the griddle, fresh fluffy pancakes, and hot diner coffee. Honestly nothing better. Getting breakfast here is like having breakfast at home with your family. Prices can't be beat either, $4.50 for 2 pancakes and a 1/2 order of ham??? Forget IHOP support this local joint read more

My "go to" place when I visit Warwick, RI. Nick and Joan's is the epitome of short order GREAT food. If you're in Warwick, stop by and see Nick. Highly recommend a ham, cheese and tomato omelet. read more

Affordable delicious food and the most warm and welcoming staff!! We will absolutely be back - especially because we're within walking distance!! read more
