BEST HAPPY HOUR IN SEDONA If you're looking for a great restaurant in Sedona without the long waits, Nick's Westside is a local favorite. While many restaurants in Uptown Sedona and even around West Sedona can have 45 minutes to an hour waits on Friday and Saturday nights, Nick's is one of those rare spots where you can usually walk right in and get seated. The service is quick, friendly, and welcoming, with fun local bartenders who make the place feel like a true neighborhood hangout. Shout-out to Tom with the long white hair, who has been behind the bar at Nick's for many, many years. He's practically a Sedona institution and an attraction all on his own -- honestly a reason to come in by itself. The food is consistently really good. It has that classic diner-style comfort food vibe, but everything is fresh and satisfying. Some personal favorites: * The half chef's salad (perfect lighter option) * The best ranch dressing in Sedona * Really good fries * The chile relleno is excellent * Solid Mexican food * A great Sedona breakfast spot too They also have one of the best happy hours in Sedona from 3-6 PM, and honestly probably the best prices in the region. If you're in Sedona during busy season and everywhere else has a long wait, Nick's Westside is a great place to come for good food without the hassle. A true local Sedona gem. read more

Our server, Rachel was so friendly and attentive. We had a long wait for the food, which gave us time to catch up on the days activities. Food was good, just not sure how you can give eggs, hash browns, and chorizo five stars. It was cooked well and tasted great. Breakfast tacos were not our favorite however the eggs fritatas was delicious. Tables are well spaced giving you privacy and conversations without yelling. read more

I came here around 2 PM on a Thursday, and the place was pretty empty - just one other couple sitting in the dining room. I ended up grabbing a seat at the bar. First off, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which definitely stood out. I ordered a couple of hazy IPAs, which were cold and hit the spot after a long hike. Chips & Salsa: nothing particularly special here. The chips weren't very salted, and while the salsa was good and thankfully not spicy, it was still pretty mid overall. They let me sample the guacamole, which would have been a $4 add-on, but it didn't taste like real avocado to me. It reminded me of the kind of guacamole you get on tacos at cheaper restaurants. Paying $9 for chips and salsa felt a bit steep for what it was. Tom's Classic Sandwich: for some reason I thought this would be a cold sandwich, but it turned out to be more of a hearty grilled chicken sandwich on a hamburger bun. Not the light, refreshing bite I expected, but that's on me for not reading the description closely. That said, the sandwich was still good. It has Cajun seasoning. The fries were actually the highlight: extra crispy and really well done. Overall, the service was a 10/10, and the staff made the experience enjoyable. The food did the job, but it wasn't anything particularly memorable. I appreciated having a place to relax, enjoying a cold beer, and chatting for a bit after a hike, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here specifically for the food. read more

Wow, this is definitely one of our favorite spots in Sedona! We'll absolutely be coming back whenever we're craving a great burger. After hiking all day, we were seriously craving burgers and found Nick's West Side on Yelp, so we decided to give it a try and wow, we were beyond satisfied. The fries were crispy, hot, and fresh, and the burger was incredibly juicy and flavorful. I ordered the Guinness burger and it was amazing - the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. I also loved the bun and the huge pickles. Everything hit the spot. Service was quick and efficient, and the old-school diner vibes made the experience even better. Highly recommend! read more

Nick's West Side is proof positive that if you serve me something bathed in jalapeño slices you're pretty much assured of 4-stars. It'd be a hard sell to tell you though, as a tourist, that you must try Nick's. This looks like a place for locals and it was, in fact, a local who introduced me to the spot. Both inside and out it is remarkably unimpressive: a squat 1-story building with little to no flair but you can't eat flair anyhow. A very big menu is broad enough to cover almost every base from all day breakfasts to BBQ to Mexican specialties and more. To wit, my party of 3 ordered: : * Cheese Enchiladas; * TGBT (turkey, guacamole, bacon, tomato) Sandwich with Onion Rings; and * Victor's Southwest (featuring Chicken Tinga & a hefty serving of those jalapeños) Being with someone I'd not seen in a while might've done some of the heavy lifting but we sat there chatting long past our meal was finished and nobody tried to hurry us along and I was very appreciative of that fact. My meal, which I later described as "delicious" was so satisfying that I actually tried to return to Nick's once more during my visit but found them closed. That pretty much says it all, yeah?: I wanted to return. Nicks serves satisfying food and drink in the most unremarkable of surroundings. read more

Service five stars Food three stars Ambience four stars Service was great. Food was typical of a city diner and ambience is what you would expect from a local diner. read more

Cobb salad ingredients are plentiful and fresh. Crab cakes are nicely fried. Sweet potato fries and onion rings are delicious. The tuna sandwich is loaded with perfectly mixed tuna salad, lettuce and tomato and a fresh and crispy pickle spear on the side. Wait staff makes you feel like you're the only one there even when every table is taken. Ambiance is that of a local diner with locals dropping in for a delicious meal. read more

We've been here twice and love this place. This time was slower than the first time. No worries there. We came around 8:30am. Coffee is still great. I tried the Sunrise Quesadilla and had the hash browns again. Super choices. They also offer a military discount. The service was good and the ambiance always seems to be laid back with good food. read more

A low-key, no fuss time, easy good time. Orion took good care of us. The reciting of the side options, cracked me up. I had a great/ fresh Denver omelet. My wife had the Rueben. I saw items at other tables I wanted. Hot sauce came bottled in 3 kinds with a carrier. My late dad probably would not forgive me for skipping the bread pudding. We'll save that for next time. read more

We went here on New Year's Day. Our breakfast was excellent and they were even able to accommodate my gluten free needs.

After hiking behind the restaurant, we were starving for a hearty breakfast and they delivered. My wife had the Nicks SW Burrito with salsa verde with western potatoes. She slowed her pace at the end but finished the plate with a huge smile on her face I had the Spanish omelette with home fries and Greek sauce. It was a perfect size serving since there was no space in my stomach for anything else. The service was excellent and compliments to the chefs mother for her recipes !! For sure we will wait til dinner to attempt another meal today. Our server " Mariah" was awesome. All in for the plates (we stayed with water for hydration). $37 including tip read more

Stopped by Nick's West Side for breakfast this morning before heading to the airport since we wanted something better than the standard hotel breakfast at the Residence Inn. The food was good, reasonably priced, and you can tell this is a spot where locals go--there were definitely some regulars. Our waiter was fast, efficient, and super friendly--he seemed like she could run the whole place on her own, taking orders and getting food out quickly. The interior is a bit outdated, but overall it's a solid breakfast stop with good service and value. read more

Away from the touristy parts! Affordable and taste like home cooking! I am pescatarian and don't do dairy so breakfast can be tricky! Nick's offers a variety for almost every dietary need! Will be back and making this a staple for our Sedona trip! 10/10 read more

Mediocre food. Waited an hour and 15 minutes for our food. Waiter never asked if we wanted anything. The couple next to us arrived 30 minutes after us and got their food 15 minutes before us. They weren't busy either. 2 people in the restaurant. Employees were sitting at the bar doing nothing. read more

Our Happy little group dropped in on a Saturday afternoon and sampled everything from soup to sandwiches to grill specialties and everything was delicious. The bar selections were fit for every taste. Several of the group tried the "Bloody Maria" and loved them! The server was a friendly and happy lady with a huge smile and ponytail (missed her name, sorry.) We were her last group before she was done for the day. Her service was outstanding and sincere. We all echoed the same opinions... we'd come back if we were ever in Sedona again. One last note ... if you like great soups, be sure to try their house-made hamburger soup. It was loaded with meat and vegetables bathed in a rich flavorful broth and worthy of special mention all by itself! If you're going to be in Sedona, treat yourself to a visit to Nick's West Side! read more

We have been in to Nicks to eat many times. Usually for breakfast and we are always more than satisfied. Ingredients are always fresh and tasty. Today we tried the rellano, a tamale and enchilada. The green sauce is the best! We're in our 70's and originally from California. We believe we are experts on authentic Mexican food, we really do! Haha. This is the best we've ever eaten!! And.....the service is always excellent. We enjoy the small town diner feel and warm ambiance. Nice little bar too. A+++ read more

We had to get a tire fixed across the street and came here for breakfast. Mariah S. was so sweet and took care of us. We ordered a bit off the menu because she helped us get exactly what we were craving. The price was also the best! read more

The ambiance was disappointing--there was no background music, and the place seemed geared more toward locals than creating a welcoming atmosphere for all. While I have no complaints about my waitress, the manager or owner was quite irritating, spending most of her time gossiping and whispering with local patrons instead of tending to the overall dining experience. As for the food, I ordered the liver, which was overcooked and served with dry onions and equally dry rice. Overall, it was a letdown but quite unexpected for a restaurant to offer beef liver which is one of my favorite things to eat. read more

The service was excellent. I ordered the eggs Benedict with the sauce on the side and a mimosa. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The hash browns were crisp and the ham was Smokey. read more

W O W! Breakfast all day, had the Westside scramble. Chicken enchiladas were amazing too. Do yourself a favor and eat here!!!

Best breakfast in Sedona! Always super fast and EXCELLENT service no matter who is working. I go every time I'm up in Sedona.

We stopped here on the way back from a 3 day hiking/camping trip up West Creek Canyon. I had the Bocce Burger and side salad that hit the spot. My buddy had the beef ribs and said they were great, which looked amazing and a lot of food. Cocktails were tasty. The bill for the 3 of us was about $100. I'd definitely go back. read more

Breakfast excellent; Greek frittata. Excellent.(Shelly). Will be coming here again to try lunch or dinner.

I write this review keeping in mind that the food here is diner food. I enjoy going to diners and don't expect the food to be anything more than just simple diner food. With that being said, this is the first time I have been unable to finish food at a restaurant ever. The food was very poorly cooked. I had brisket and eggs. On the menu the brisket says it's smoked for 17 hours. When I got it, it was grey. The brisket smelled legitimately, off. The iced tea had a strange taste. The orange juice was very watery. The eggs were runny. Fortunately the potatoes and toast were good. However they were out of hash browns. I love local businesses, diners and greasy spoons and I don't like leaving poor reviews but I was legitimately concerned about the food here. The waitress never asked how our food was because, seemingly, she was aware. Do as you wish but I would highly recommend avoiding this restaurant. Perhaps a health inspection read more

I had the best hamburger on Sunday. The best. Cooked to perfection. Mariah is, as always, the best server. My granddaughter and grandson had the hiker's breakfast; both ate every last bite. My husband and I drop in often; we enjoy the Bloody Mary's and often share a Reuben. This has always been a favorite and lately, it's the favorite plus one. read more
