nick's place

i’ve wanted to try nick’s place for years. the restaurant had all the of the signs of being a really good neighborhood dive. the outside was unassuming and looked like a converted house, the menu is cheap, they have almost no internet presence and they are only open until 3pm. i’m not sure what took us so long, but last weekend we finally visited for breakfast on a saturday around 11am. the restaurant is larger and a bit nicer then i was expecting. it’s simple, with a dozen wooden tables, checkered table clothes and pictures of family members (i’m guessing, they look legit) on the walls. there’s a small dining room in the front room near the entrance with a small bar, but things looked a little chaotic and we grabbed a seat in the back. we didn’t find out until after our meal but the restaurant is run by the same family (not sure the exact relation) who own and operate sophia’s, another great neighborhood restaurant that we visited last year.

delicious food at a great price. our last breakfast while in buffalo- went to nicks place because it popped up on my zomato app. the other reviews spoke highly so we stopped. great food. the chicken slovaki i had was fantastic and my kids enjoyed their food as well.

quick brunch. my husband and i use urbanspoon religiously when we're out and about and hungry. they did not disappoint with this suggestion. amazing staff,friendly and helpful. delicious food and amazing portions. 100% worth the money for a little hole in the wall restaurant.

i'm always on the lookout for a great breakfast spot, especially one that does corned beef hash well. after writing my piece on our recent breakfast at sophia's restaurant , a friend with a similar love of great food suggested that i try a similar restaurant for breakfast in black rock - nick's place. last week, i tried nick's place for the first time with this gentleman and a mutual friend of ours and we all had an enjoyable meal.

awsome diner. hospitality abounds in this old style diner. so friendly from the moment you walk in the door. had the greek burger, which was a 1/2 pound of hand pressed beef covered with feta and cooked to perfection. when i asked for it medium rare, it was a perfect pink with all the juices running. fries were crisp, not mushy. our server was attentive, quick, and fun. and nick's won't brake the bank, very good value.

delicious food, excellent service, dirt cheap prices for an enormous outstanding meal! try the homemade bread, it's to die for!

best holer in the wall diner in buffalo. long story short with nick's - great food, huge portions and dirty cheap. both you and your wallet will leave full.

p.s. get the skillet breakfast.

great little place. small homey diner. the place is packed on a saturday morning and the food is the reason why. i had the chicken souvlaki breakfast plate. chicken, eggs, home fries and homemade italian toast. delicious! great prices and great food make this a gem of a place- look carefully because from the outside there isn't much to see. you won't be disappointed.

best breakfast around. low prices, extremely friendly staff. love it.

excellent breakfast place. searched on urbanspoon for good breakfast diners and found nick's. have been there twice in three weeks and loved it both times. friendly and great food! we live in lockport so it's not around the corner but it is worth the drive.

umami!. my first time there, after being asked several times. i walked in smiley faces the smell of fresh bakes italian bread filled the air. prompt service and food was great. not the best looking est.. the food and hospitality superceeds that. i asked to by some fresh baked bread that just came out of oven. to my surprise they indeed sell me some. definetly a hidden treasure on amherst st.

great place!. great food and hospitality all in one place. the owner nick is one of the best person you can meet. greets all his customer as they pass thru the kitchen going in and when coming out. the prices are unbeatable!

oj gil. i had breakfast this morning with a friend a nick's place (amherst st. buffalo). i chose the beef souvlaki breakfast and it was delicious and plentiful. decided to go for the toasted homemade bread..it was soooo good that i wanted to take a loaf home (but i forgot to ask..nextime though). homefries were very good & fresh tasting (some places keep them warming too long on the grill). and the beef...i love my beef..and theirs was cooked to perfection! the staff is very pleasant, restaurant is clean, great menu choices. qaulity and quantity at a great price.
