Our Guestbook
“ 1st time here, staff were awesome. Fast and attentive and place was very busy. Food was incredible. Great taste, large portions. Had the hot roast beef sandwich special. Soup, sandwich with fries or mashed, gravy and mixed veg plus ice cream desert and coffee just over 40 bucks for 2 people. ”
“ There's a reason Nick's Inn has been going strong for over half a century. Everything tastes freshly made, and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. My cheeseburger deluxe was huge! The fries were hot and crisp, but next time we'll try the onion rings. We visited on a busy Saturday right at noon and had about a 10 minute wait, but the hostess kept us laughing with her effervescent energy and wit. Once we were seated, the service was friendly and efficient. ”
“ Good food, friendly staff and clean. I always get more than I should eat. Smiles always with fast service. Can't say enough about the staff and service. Always clean. Great for a lite snack or a full meal. ”
“ Friendly and fast service with great tasting food and large portion sizes. I ordered the clubhouse sandwich with real sliced turkey breast. The coleslaw is awesome too, with more of Italian dressing on it. ”
“ Portions are huge and fairly priced. Signature gravy. Even the vinegar coleslaw was good. It's a good burger. Not a messy burger. I would only change the bun, but it is a city standard used. Nice fresh cut fries. Not greasy. Fried in clean oil. Although, I do wish they were just a tad thicker. Delicious homemade apple pie. Friendly and welcoming service. I definitely recommend. ”
“ What a cute little diner! Very low key from the outside but absolutely adorable on the inside, excellent service from the three servers we interacted with and delicious meal. I had the Crispy Greek Poutine and it exceeded expectations, both in taste and portion size - definitely shareable! Will be back for sure. ”
“ We were driving home and heard good things about Nicks and were not disappointed. The food was amazing. Huge portions and delicious. Only negative was the experience with the server. They had mixed up my burger with my daughter’s and forgot or at best minimal mustard on my wife’s. Typically servers would out the mistake and make it right. The server said, just move the bacon to my burger and argued with my wife that there was mustard. I still give it 5 stars but ... ”
“ I was a child the last time I tried Nick’s Inn, while making family trips from Western Manitoba to Winnipeg. This time, countless years later, I was getting a hitch installed at Bell’s next-door so I popped by for lunch while I waited. This place has a nice classic diner vibe. What I found quite unique was the amount of people coming in that staff welcomed on a first name basis. Seems a lot of regulars frequent here, which is a familiarity in a restaurant I haven’t seen in ages or outside of small town rural joints. There’s even a solo table for the the workers who are literally in for a quick bite during a lunch break. Within the context of an old school burger/diner joint - the food is exactly how you’d want and expect. Large portions, a little heavy, but very filling and very good value. Staff all had good personality and were friendly, albeit seemed a bit eager to clear plates that still had food, to perhaps move the meal along. Plenty of empty booths so I don’t know what the hurry was. Shift change maybe, or maybe the joint just moves at a fast pace. Cool place, nothing fancy but full of character. Worth a stop if you’re in the mood for some diner food. There’s also a patio and outdoor seating. I think I’ll be back someday to try some of their burgers ”
