My husband and I tried Nicks for the first time; even though I work up the street from the diner. I was impressed. The small but very busy diner had the best homefries I have ever had (please don't tell my grandma). I love their thick bacon and the fresh ham used for their popular omelets made my mouth water. 5 stars and I am going back tomorrow for that ham :-) read more

Place is just too cramped with customers elbow to elbow. Never been to a restaurant with boxes all over seat and chairs. I understand that mom and pop greasy spoon diners tend to have more health code violations than chain restaurants but this place needs to invest in a sneeze guard or something for the grill, it's literally 1 foot from customers. It's pretty disgusting seeing an old man sneeze all over the grill. Check your bill, I actually got someone else's check and no apology. Pretty bad read more

Newly updated tables, chairs, countertop and flooring. Still the best breakfast and lunch in the area. Free and convenient parking both in front and behind the restaurant. Credit and debit cards are accepted. If you haven't been there yet give them a try. Lots of friendly smiling faces. read more

The food is good but, when ordering online the price on the website is different than the prices in the restaurant. I talked to a lady that was taking orders she didn't mention that the prices change or if adding on extra(cheese) to eggs that it was a charge as well. She tells me when I go to pick up that the website is old and those prices were from the pandemic five years ago. She also, told me that it was probably fake on the website and when I pulled the website up, she said oh. Instead saying sorry you are right, and I would honor the price on the website she said Well you didn't tell me or ask if stuff is extra. I told her I shouldn't have to. This was my first time coming to Nicks. I hope they update their website read more

Food is typical of an old school diner. Simple, decently priced, and delicious. Choose a seat at the bar top overlooking the grill or take a table. Service can be hit or miss but overall it's ok. Pancakes are fluffy and tasty. Restaurant is well maintained on the inside despite it being from 1982! Clean! Nick's Diner is a Wheaton gem! read more

Great diner food. Staff was very friendly. Price was also good. Would definitely come back for a quick breakfast if I'm in town again.

Friendly staff, delicious food, great prices. A real neighborhood place! Love the breakfast, I'll have to come back for lunch or dinner and try the specials. read more

It's a Diner folks, as dinerey as any you have ever been in. It's not IHOP, or Denny's just a neighborhood diner. Thank God we still have a few around. Weak coffee but look that's what diners give out. No one is here for coffee. With the wife and ready to have a cheese omelette! Big portions are the rule here. Meal out of home fries alone. The omelette was good as well. Again no purpose in giving a full bite by bite. It's a Diner not a French Restaurant. Still if you want to get good plain food for 2 at a more than reasonable price. Skip the drive thru for breakfast and stop in here. read more

Old time diner feel. Very busy. The food is diner food. It's like I remember growing up as a child down the road in Kensington. read more

Nick's Diner - Cheddar and provolone omelette. I came here as a child many years ago. - Diners Near Me - Wheaton, Maryland

This was all that and a bag of chips. Total greasy spoon with amazing employees and even better food. Clean clean clean to boot!!! Which is tough in a dinner. Kudos! To the staff. We were blessed to be sitting where we could watch the masters at work. To say I was impressed is an understatement. Efficient and effective. If you don't like tight spaces or greasy places do not come. Don't worry they will survive without you. read more

It's small. The door is camouflaged bc I walked around 2Xs trying to get in. There are plenty of windows for someone to own for me. Definitely a diner vibe, busy.

Nick's Diner - Grilled chicken, cheesy scrambled eggs... - Diners Near Me - Wheaton, Maryland

I ordered from Nicks via Uber eats , and I must say I have been missing out. I've passed Nicks many time which is a small , no frills diner located in Wheaton . . I ordered the 2 egg combo with bacon and banana pancakes. The home fries that came with the combo was top notch, very flavorful and the portion size is enough for 2 people. The banana pancakes are delicious, I mean you can literally taste the bananas in every bite . The food was packaged well and arrived before the estimated delivery time. This will most definitely be my go to breakfast spot from now on. read more

Good for what it is - basic diner food. Be warned that it does get quite busy on the weekends.

Friend and I ate lunch here today, first time here. It's a small SMALL little place with a lunch counter and maybe a dozen - 15 tables. Tricky parking because it's right in a ridiculous corner but we managed. I got a steak n cheese sub, the potatoes/hash were nice n spicy, good. The sub itself was very salty so I only managed a half. Friend got a cheeseburger and said it was very good. Wait staff was very friendly, personable and happy. Will come again when in the area, but ya gotta tone down that salt on the cheesesteak. A LOT. read more

I am soooooo mad that I didn't take a picture of my food it was soooooo good. I had the meat lovers omelette, potatoes, and wheat toast!! This food was sooo freaking good 10 out of 10 read more

Excellent pancakes! And the thick cut bacon was great too!. If want to experience an old fashion diner, this is the place.

Great food, service and ambience. Plain old perfection. Best hash browns ever. Cute decor and happiness all around.

I loved this place so much! I went for breakfast and found friendly service, delicious food, and a relaxed atmosphere. I sat at the counter so I could watch them make the food and it was fascinating! It was all so fast! I got my food in no time and it was so good! I will definitely be back! Keep in mind that they are closed on Tuesdays and that they only take cash! read more

It's always a good experience every time I come to Nick's. You'll get that small diner experience with all the comforts of your grandmas kitchen. No powder eggs no questionable meat, just good solid food. I've only come for breakfast but I'm sure their lunch menu is just as good. You can literally see them cut the ham fresh so you can believe it's quality. We generally sit in the same area and have the same server and she's always a delight. My husband usually asks for non-diary creamer and she's pretty accommodating. I love the home fries here because I don't need to add any salt or pepper. The home fries are well seasoned and come with peppers and onions in them. I've had the big breakfast multiple times because I like the pancakes here. On this most recent occasion I had the chicken breast egg sandwich on wheat for the first time and it was yummy. My husband had the ham and egg sandwich on wheat. The ham is good here for the reasons said earlier so husband enjoyed his sandwich too. Definitely come here, just be advised they close at 1 on Sundays and 3PM the rest of the week. Enjoy! read more

Great old fashioned diner. These are hard to find in MoCo these days. I highly recommend that you go here if you are looking for some excellent pancakes or French toast from the griddle. They do a mean grilled cheese sandwich too. I took my kids here to show them what a real diner feels like. They loved it. From the closely packed tables with a wide variety of clientele to the down-home, old-school waitress, every bit of it is like a time capsule. The food was great, exactly what you'd expect from a diner. Don't go here if you're looking for a Ruth's Chris type of steak however, if what you want is a delicious Homie meal and a hot bowl of soup then this is a great spot in the Silver Spring, our Wheaton area. The only other spot, which I would say, is equally good if not, may be a little better, is the Tastee diner. What a long-standing, beautiful tradition. I hope these diners are here to stay! read more

Good food at fair prices. Came for breakfast, counter was half full and few empty tables inside. Order in and waited a longer than average time. Seems like the to go orders or small kitchen affect wait times. Staff is polite and assist with menu. Parking is plenty or in adjacent lot if able to navigate to it. Tried some normal diner type breakfast fare and it was good. PortIon size was great too. Recommend read more

Amazing service. Nice people still been coming here since 10 years. I will always come here

The food was great the service was fast and everyone was happy and very nice. The only thing was the parking is in a weird spot.

Chaotic from the parking lot to the counter to the phone orders, but pretty good for a greasy cheap dinner.

THE BEST BREAKFAST!!!! If you want breakfast that tastes literally one million times better than any expensive/upscale restaurant in moco, GO HERE!!! Idk what they do to their hash fries but they are the best I've ever had-- better than any place I've tried in the DMV, LA, and Southern cities. My chocolate chip pancakes were amazing. The French toast is also 12/10. Fantastic. Love you guys read more

Remarkable as always. If you're the type to rush through life and not enjoy the simple things, skip the trip to Nick's. If you like classic diner food done right in a true diner atmosphere, Nicks is for you. Me personally, I love Pancakes done perfectly with sizzling Sausage patties and a side of Corned Beef Hash that is unmatched in the DMV, so I come to Nick's. Walk in. Grab a counter seat or wait in line and file down to the left. It's CASH ONLY so don't forget the green (atm inside). It is VERY tight but there's something cool about that. Make sure to snap a little video of the guys crushing it on the grill. You truly appreciate the god much more when you see the passion going into your food. They love to hear and see people appreciating the art of a line cook. As a former Sous Chef, I applaud these guys and tip them out before I even eat...DO THE SAME! It's a Wheaton Landmark, so just give out a shot. And make sure to tell your peoples. Nick's lives on WOM. Let's support this spot and make sure it sticks around for 40 more Years! read more

Nick's is a small diner with tables packed close together (had to reposition my chair several times to let wait staff and patrons get past). But the food was hot, tasty and served surprisingly quickly considering how crammed the place was. We were there for breakfast, and the pancakes were terrific. the "hash browns" were amazing. We will be back. read more

Excellent service, solid food, great atmosphere. Recommend the potato bacon soup. Bottomless coffee cups. Ham is fresh

Cash only establishment. Free parking lot next to the diner. Located across from lens crafters. This place is extremely busy on the weekends. Definitely line up early to be sure you get a seat at the diner. read more

Ordered breakfast delivery. Food arrived within window. I ordered breakfast meal. Eggs were fresh and scrambled as requested. Bacon crisp and flavorful home fries served with wheat toast. It hit the spot. I would definitely dine and/or order from here again. Bon Apetit. read more

Quick order grill cooking and they do it well. I took a seat at the counter, since I was there on my own. The cheese omelet seemed like the way to go, with toast and home fries. A few moments later, my coffee was poured. Not great, but good. Good solid java. And then my omelet arrived. Not huge, but there was a lot of cheese in there and a good serving of home fries. Those home fries are the bomb-diggity. Delicious. The omelet was also good with the right amount of cheese, i.e., a lot. $7 for a good meal. $10 with tip. I'd go here again! Parking lot can be a little tight. read more

Nick's Diner is one of the cleaner diners I have been to. They serve quality diner food for decent prices. The portions are pretty big too and not overly buttery. I'm very picky with eggs. Their scrambled eggs are cooked to perfection and home fries are excellent. It's an open kitchen so you see what they're cooking on the grill. The place is small. It has counter top seats and a few tables. Staff is friendly and attentive. There is free parking out front and metered street parking. *Cash only, but they have an ATM on site. read more
