    Nick's Cafe is a hidden gem! Located on Heatherdowns & Reynolds, it's tucked away - don't miss this place! Tje restaurant is cozy & has plenty of seating. The service was attentive & efficient. The portion sizes of the delicious food served was amazing! I ordered a salad & it was so large I had to take half of it home- and it barely fit in a large takeout box! I'm sure plate sharing/homestyle is famous here- I could've share my salad with 2 others. I can't wait to come back!

    We set out to find another diner for breakfast today and we drove past Nicks Diner. We ordered two breakfast platters and the portions were huge! It's a great price for what you get. Our little one really loved the ham here! The place was filled with regulars and it was pretty full. Great place for breakfast.

    a variety of food items

    Some of the most comforting breakfast foods I have ever eaten. I mean that in the most delicious guilty pleasure kind of way. I'm sure the reason for this is because of the tons of butter or gravy or sugar is in all of the dishes but on occasion... feel free to indulge. Nick's eggs were by far my most surprising dish as I basically inhaled that midwestern hospitality. Food: 7/10

    For 9 bucks ($8.95, actually), you get a corned beef and Swiss, 3 egg omelette, toast, and hash browns.  Skip the taters and get ripped.

    So I'm just sitting here at Nick's checking out the Lady Cocks. No, I'm not eying a table full of drag queens. The South Carolina Lady Game Cocks (including Toledo's own Zia Cooke) are on TV playing in the NCAA women's tournament. Honestly, I'm not sure why I'm writing a review; I have nothing to add to the popular consensus: You already know about the enormous food portions. You already know about the mediocre food quality. You already know about the grungy interior. You already know about the average prices. For me the service has always been friendly albeit a little slow. Today, the service was excellent. Okay, I'm 100% being honest here: the grossest thing about Nick's, right this minute anyway, is probably the other costumers. Now, I'm not trying to say that I'm anything special, but at least I know how to chew with my mouth closed, and, I make some effort to NOT smell like dirty ass in dirty stretch pants. A little more social distancing might be in order, and that's not because of the virus! Soooo, you already know what Nick's is all about. There are better choices in the area. Three stars.

    Mexican Omelet did its Job

    Stopped in for Breakfast this morning while visiting family in Toledo. Ohio is a little less strict on Covid Restrictions than Northern Virginia from what we have seen overall but Nick's seems to do a good job with seating space, signage & Staff wearing masks & cleanliness. Our Waitress was super friendly, attentative,and answered all questions about the menu. Our food came quick, coffee and water glasses stayed full. Our Waitress was pretty busy but did not seem to slow her down or interfere with service. Our food was delicious and the quantity was way more than expected at the price. I had the Country Omelet and it could probably have fed 3, and still tasted great. We all had leftovers to take home. Right off the Turn-Pike and worth a stop if driving through.

    Dinner side salad - A plate of fresh side salad includes chopped lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and cucumber pieces. A small metal cup of salad dressing is placed on the plate. The salad is served on a white dish, with a wooden table surface visible in the background.

    Our favorite breakfast spot in Toledo. We get the most bang for our buck and the food is very…read moredelicious. The menu has a wide range of options to choose from We got the ham & greyere omelette and added spinach which was one of the best omelettes I've had. The combo was a perfect mix of cheese with the saltiness and flavor of the ham. We also got the avocado toast with the basted egg which was very fresh. They used some very fresh avocados, it seems they used the whole avocado cause we surely weren't lacking. The biscuits and gravy were extremely good. The biscuits had a slight crunch and were freshly made. The turkey gravy was flavorful and light The drinks are premade but also very well done. Slightly on the sweeter side but still well done The restaurant was packed with a 15-20 min wait but there's a community table that we sat at and we were seated immediately, fun hack for couples. Only one other person sat at the table with us so it was like we had to it ourselves, though we wouldn't mind chatting to random strangers. We love this place and will be back

    For the most part I really love this place. The ambience and modern rustic vibe with mindful…read moreingredients and great choices to eat and drink are worth coming in for! I was told they don't take reservations but that we could sign in to the waitlist. When we got in there was nobody under our group's name.. not sure if we didn't do it right but was a little confused by that. Either way, we were able to get a table right away, a nice booth in the back at that. It's kid friendly too which is always a plus. There is so much deliciousness on the menu it's great! There is something for everyone and all of it tastes great. I will say the chickichanga I had was a bit spicy but still really good. Also, you have to try the different drinks they have! I got the kale tonic and caramel crunch coffee, both AMAZING! Although if you're lactose intolerant I'd ask for dairy free milk and if you're not into sweet stuff this is probably not for you. I was a little disappointed in the waitress. She was super kind and personable but I felt like she didn't ask enough questions, like when I asked for the coffee she never asked what milk I wanted (I should've clarified but still). I also felt like she didn't show herself enough. It wasn't terribly busy so I felt she could've done better. Otherwise, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This truly a wonderful experience for all ages and varying tastes. A tremendous and welcome change we've come to endure from other dining experiences. Here the customer is THE primary focus from the moment you walk in til you walk out the door - BRAVO!! The food, had the Mayberry Mega where you pick your 6 omelette ingredients. Normally a crap shoot in most diners but here it was a home run. The ham and sausage were nice size chunks, juicy, and full of flavor. Spinach, onions, and tomatoes were fresh and perfect sizes and good quantities for the dish. That leaves the cheese my one "ding" would have preferred shredded cheese vs sliced cheese because of flavor and texture - but it didn't take away from a wonderfully prepared omelette made and severed with genuine care. Potatoes were frozen BUT they were prepared exceptionally well for dinner dare they were soft and cooked with a nice crisp. It was a superb surprise and a very welcome one. The coffee was fresh and hot and the standard "acidic" coffees you'd find in most diners anywhere, but overall inviting enough to have a few cups for a discerning coffee "snob" like me. Place was PACKED so all tables and booth were full, but they have a nice counter service with plenty of seating and space to move and eat and be very comfortable for your meal. What's fascinating is the incredible teamwork and collective desire to ensure your time, experience, and meal are spent enjoying your company and food not staring at your watch wondering about time. The entire restaurant was seated, served, and cleared with clean tables within the time I had to get and consume my own breakfast. So if you see a packed house on your arrival and don't desire that counter seat fear not - in this home environment your wait will be short and your day will lose no valuable time - well worth some minimal patience - you'll be glad you did. Your greeted as soon as you walk in by one or more of the extremely hardworking waitresses with a smile - your also sent off with a "Thank you. have a Good Day" by one more waitresses as you leave - both excellent touch of service class enhancing customer experience. I've never seen a more well-run diner or any restaurant from the waitresses to the cooks to the dishwashers the teamwork, attention to details, customer satisfaction, and to the incredible cleanliness of the restaurant despite the constant flow of customers - I've never seen a restaurant so clean and kept so clean the out the day. So what are you waiting for come to Mayberry where a warm greeting, clean home, exceptional food are calling YOUR name today...I'm returning perhaps I'll see you there....Bon Appetite!!

The egg white veggie wrap was nicely portioned without being over the top; a little mustard and hot sauce was required to complete the profile, but that's fine. The veggie omelette was good, with a big portion of hash browns and a decent quantity of veggies in the omelette. Hot sauce and mustard were also our friend here, but that works for me. The staff were very friendly and attentive, even beyond what we would have expected. All told, this was an excellent experience if you're looking for a fast paced diner breakfast.

But it was, to me, kind of bland, as were the tomatoes and even the onion. Not bad, but when mild mayonnaise dominates the sandwich, it ain't my thing. But I'm a hot sauce enjoyer. To each their own. The fries were a bit better, lightly crisp flour-covered things, but again: kind of unexciting without ketchup. They were fine. The store's decor was mostly mom-n-pop nice, attractive and probably comfortable (I did takeout). The carpet was worn and maybe a bit grimy. I'm thinking that's because of the breakfast and lunch crowd the restaurant attracts, many of whom have been working hard at jobs that get their shoes dirty. No points off for that. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were good, and the portion they served me was just right for a hungry driver. Parking was easy and the store was easy to find and get to. Overall: fine. Not for me, but I can see why it gets four stars overall.
