Giambott with rye toast
Michele M.

I love a good breakfast and they didn't disappoint. Order on door dash, food came packaged well and still very hot. I got the Giambott, two eggs scrambled with Italian sausage, banana peppers, pepperoni, home fries topped with mozzarella. It was amazing and so filling. I got it with rye toast, I wished the toasted had been more toasted, but that could of been from door dash traveling. But this was an amazing good breakfast, especially after a fun Friday night out! My son got the pancakes. Came with three very large cakes. He got a side of apples and cinnamon. He thought was going to be like the inside of an apple pie type sauce, but it truly was just cut up apples with cinnamon. But overall the pancakes were good!

#2 home fries, 2 eggs overeasy, and petfect bacon!

I love it here . For a while it's been my Wednesday escape. In the summer I would take the kids for breakfest, and some days alone to unwind fir the week ahead . We love Nick and the staff. Always so friendly and treat the kids with such kindness. There recently renovated last year and it's so well lit and clean. Very welcoming , you feel right at home. Set yourself ans ger ready for some amazing food. The food is always fresh , delicious., and with so much to choose from. My go to is the #2. Which consist for your choice of 2 eggs , home fries, choice or meat (bacon, sausage or ham) Bacon is usually on my plate. Then your choice of toast. I get the homemade white, trust me you want to ask well. The kids get the chocolate chip pancakes. The only thing is the juice comes in a very small glass and no free refills. Besides that it's an absolute must go in . Thank you later .

Corned Beef Hash with rye toast and no green peppers.

This place definitely gives local diner vibes where everyone knows each other, the staff are super friendly, the food is good, and the coffee keeps coming. I enjoyed my breakfast- the hash with rye toast and no green peppers.

Finally made it over and loved it! The open kitchen concept and themed decor give this place a very homey feel. Our waitress was so nice and activated our busy 3 year old with grace. The food was delicious!!! We can't wait to return

Love this place! The prices are reasonable, and Nick, the owner, is awesome--along with his amazing staff. They're always friendly and remember you when you come in, which makes it feel really local and welcoming. I used to frequent his father's location on Amherst and Bush, so I'm so happy Nick moved closer to my neighborhood. I go back whenever I get the chance. I would highly recommend Nick's Express for a great-quality breakfast, friendly atmosphere, excellent service, and of course, delicious food.

Homemade hash with poached eggs.

This place was great for breakfast! I ordered their homemade hash with poached eggs and loved it! Oh, and their homemade white bread made for the perfect toast! I will be back!

Nicks Breakfast #2, a scramble with sausage, pepperoni, hot peppers, onions and mozz. A bellini. Coffee.

My partner and I wanted to go to a sitdown breakfast this past Sunday. Nick's Place Express is near our house and we've never been there so we gave it a whirl. It was really busy - so if you go there, make sure you have ample time to wait and eat. Some might complain about the wait, but a good diner on a Sunday morning will have a wait. Is what it is. The restaurant is pretty bare bones and simple inside. No-frills but clean. The service and food were excellent. The crispy home fries were the star of the show; crispiest I've ever had and they were just what the doctor ordered. The #2 was a standard homestyle breakfast done right. The Italian scramble (I forgot what it was called) was pretty zesty with the pepperoni and hot peppers and was just my style with Tabasco sprinkled on top. I would definitely recommend for a good weekend breakfast. Looks like they have good lunches too with a wide variety of sandwiches and wraps.

Excellent open chicken souvlaki. So big I couldn't finish it. Sparkling tables and floors. Owner takes pride and it shows

Great as always Great portions, great quality food. One of my favorite breakfast spots in buffalo, and I LOVE breakfast. Always consistent. I usually order on doordash (however, I have been to the Nick's Place restauraunt on... Amherst Street?) My orders always come fast with no issues. I also looovee their homemade bread. I usually get the homemade white toast and it is so tasty! Highly recommend for a quick, inexpensive breakfast.

Healthy Breakfast #2 on their menu - comes with homemade wheat bread!
Donna Y.

Consistently great food - hands down one of the best breakfast spots! Love the homemade bread and that they serve real maple syrup. Presentation of the food is awesome and the servers are very friendly. The coffee is good too!

So weird...I was excited to try breakfast here this morning. I arrived around 8:30am but the…read more"closed" sign was up on the door. (Also- the hours online and Yelp/Google Maps are different than what's posted on the door.) I decided to see if the door was open in case the sign just wasn't flipped to "open". It was UNLOCKED, and so was the second door! I was able to go INSIDE the cafe, even though it was clearly empty and no one was there...no food in the display case either. I even called out "hello??" a couple times to no response. Why were both doors unlocked if the cafe was clearly closed (even though according to the hours on the door it should be open...)

What a great addition to the Kensington neighborhood. So many things are going right, with this…read morelittle cute Black owned coffee shop. The first thing I appreciated was, the Owners and staff members. They are genuinely, a very happy group of people. They are super friendly and engaging. I also like the fact you can dine in or even do takeout. Today I decided on takeout.. the serving sizes are very decent, and the prices are more than fair. I strongly recommend checking them out. Breakfast sandwich- choice of bacon or sausage. Really nice satisfying sandwich. I really like the type of roll that was used. Plus the sandwich wasn't greasy or sloppy at all. Breakfast bowl- For me, I was able to share with my wife. The to-go container was pack. Every bite full had meat, cheese potatoes, and eggs. The ingredient ratio was spot on. You didn't have to much of this and not enough of that. Chicken and waffle- breast was moist and seasoned well for my liking. I loved the waffle flavor. Whatever waffle mix they are using. They need to keep using it and never change up.

It's a shame we haven't been here before but that's definitely going to change moving forward…read more Walking in to that beautiful restaurant we were greeted like we have been lifelong patrons of this establishment. That treatment carried on with the staff being so incredibly attentive and polite, our waiter may very well be the best I've had in a long time. He had our drink request in no time and shortly afterwards he was back for our meal requests. The misses wanted to try something outside the usual and ordered the eggs Benedict. While not her usual choice they were cooked perfectly and the portion was very generous. The little yelper ordered the usual chicken tenders, they were cooked to perfection as were the fries.They got a big thumbs up from her. I got the chicken souvlaki salad, a heaping bowl of fresh veggies , feta and grilled chicken (a very generous amount of it too I may add). I literally had 3 meals off of this today. The whole wheat pita and Tzatziki were some of the best I've had in a longtime. Im looking forward to coming back again soon to try more of their menu

I wanted to give another review because I've been to Kostas a few times since my last review and…read moreI've had good experiences. Food is always consistently good, my go to is the open chicken souvlaki salad and the chicken is always seasoned well, loads of feta cheese and fresh lettuce. The steak and eggs breakfast is always good too. This place is always busy, the servers are great and everyone is nice. Parking is the only issue here, I park around the corner and enjoy a little walk, good to get those steps in especially after a meal anyway. Calling ahead is highly recommended. I like sitting in the indoor patio area to soak in some sun and watch people walking by.
