Good place to eat, great service, good food and atmosphere is nice. I feel at home and welcome here.

When it was Nicks Diner 2 it was awesome we had been going there since 2012 and then when Samantha took it over it just went down hill the prices went up and the food quality went down. read more

Wonderful service and great menu, was a little disappointed in my potato skin Benedict but, every other visit it was yummy!

It was ok! Nothing great, nothing bad. The service was excellent though! The waiter was very attentive read more

AZ diner - The eggs were gross but everything flat are was ok - American Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

This is a really nice diner. Service is always friendly. I come here every 2 weeks to pick up a breakfast meal for an elderly man in my mom's neighborhood. He loves their food. I place the order on the phone. Arriving I pass the lines of people waiting for a seat, pay, take his meal and go. A nice diner with good consistent food, prices and service. When I could eat more I enjoyed the One Egg Meat Skillet. My husband likes their gravy too! Just a good ol simple place with simple food done good. They sold the original Nick's Diner which I hear isn't as popular so do not get them confused. read more

AZ diner - the outside of the restaurant - American Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

I love this place! It's down home cookin and everything is yummy. The customer service is satisfactory and the restaurant is clean. I don't have any complaints at all. I think some of the negative comments are from "difficult people". I would ignore them and come have some great food! read more

It's got a lil bit of everything you need in a dinner.... It closes to early for me so that's a local issue... other spots easily pick up the slack when they are closed.. They also have pick up that's awesome & fish Fridays.. read more

This is the second time we've come here, when we are on this side of town. First time it was under renovations, but we enjoyed it so stopped by today. The renovations are done so it looks nicer. Very friendly staff, food came out really quick. Staff were all wearing masks, and were cleaning often. I got the corned beef breakfast, with pancakes. I like the way they do the corned beef here. It's not salty like other places. read more

AZ diner - American Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

I have missed the mark in Phoenix! I'm hitting all the mediocre places and unfortunately this was just that...mediocre. I can see why the retired locals like it. My grandparents would have loved it too. It seemed nice, staff were ok, and seemed clean. The food was just meh. I love a good hardy breakfast and this was your typical average diner food for the average pallet that doesn't care if food is good or not. Sorry about that...skip this place if you love good food. read more

I was a big fan of this place. Last couple of months have been tough to excuse their practices. Food is till pretty good. But last time they said the reward points to get $10 off was moved to 250 without warning since their prices had gone up by around 30%. I said ok cool service and food are decent so no problem. This last week I went they started charging gratuity for parties of 4 and a toddler.... Almost $20. No where did it say gratuity was going to be added. It was disappointing that they are this money hungry. read more

Best breakfast around and excellent staff and menu They have a reward program so it's great to get money off every once in a while.... Service there is always top notch read more

Great Gyros and many other items. Service was great and a hug variety. I.woll be back. read more

The service is fast and the food is great! We go here on Fridays and they also give us free pie. I typically get the breakfast food because I love the French toast. read more

The food and the service are great. I don't like the pies though they aren't good. They are way too sweet and not at all freshly made. You can tell they've been sitting in a carton box for days. read more

Great food more than you can eat good prices good old home cooked meals. Meet my buddies there every Friday morning. Wonderful staff. read more

My go to diner! Consistent quality, great service and breakfast is excellent! The Gyros are really good to if you don't want breakfast.

We only waited 5 minutes on a busy Sunday morning. We were greeted immediately after we got to our table. Great service. We both ordered omelets and they were HUGE! Very good. Will definitely return. read more

Nick's Diner Ii offers a large choice of entrees. When my wife and I want to next daughter to we had a short wedding. However, it was certainly worth the wait. The food was excellent, the menu was never ending and the service was as good as the food. read more

Great food and a very nice wait staff. Will definitely be going back. Their breakfast came out very fast.

Apparently this is now Samantha and Nick's diner. The menu was ridiculously hard to read. The food was subpar. We will not be returning.

Went for breakfast (get there before 9 a.m.) to enjoy a variety of dishes. We were not disappointed! My omelet was delicious!! Everyone in the group was satisfied with their selection. Christy (with the bandana) was super friendly and helpful. If you want to eat out for breakfast/brunch, this is a great spot to go that doesn't take forever, but still has the flavors of a home-cooked meal!! read more

Good food. Just make sure to be willing to wait a few always busy but that is a good thing

This place is great. The food is always spot on and the staff is always pleasant. I've ordered breakfast and lunch here. I'll eventually try out dinner. read more

Everyone can find some thing on the menu here waitresses are old-school, and for me that's a plus. This place is a diner through and through. If you don't know if you like diners, you probably don't. If you like diners, this will be on your rotation if it's good no big potatoes till after four that's disappointing but the rest of the menu isn't. read more

Juicy mouth-watering chicken tenders. I say the best chicken tenders in surprise! Plus they have thick-cut fries read more

AZ diner - Chicken strips and fries - American Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Good diner food. We have had breakfast, lunch and dinner and all have been good homestyle cooked meals. Nothing fancy but just good home cooked food. Service is always good as well! My only wish is that they would be open later for dinner on more days than just Friday but I understand this family run business needs family time too. Some things we have tried; chicken fried steak breakfast, fruit covered waffle, corn beef hash, omelets, meatloaf, burgers (these are huge so be hungry)... everything has been yummy, never have had a bad meal or bad service. Be prepared to wait if eating in for breakfast as they are always busy and Friday nights they have a fish fry which is on our radar to try sometime. They are awesome at take out as well as we have been doing take out only since COVID. They always make sure you have utensils and all the condiments you could need. read more

These are New coffee items at the diner. You can order them either Hot or chilled. So yummy read more

Great service and food. Allowed us to split a pita, it was great. Always is consistent.

Got the Suzie Sparkle breakfast sandwich, was a good sandwich with lots of flavor. The staff was inviting and kind. However, my order was take-out and I did not appreciate having a gratuity added to the cost of my order. Wouldn't come again read more

After my husband's early AM appointment at the VA in Surprise, I drove us directly to Nick's II for breakfast. We were there by 8:30 and seated immediately at one of the last open booths. People were pouring in. There was a group of 12 and also two groups of 8 already seated. There weren't a lot of servers. Do we have complaints? Nope!!! Our service was fabulous; food was cooked perfectly and arrived quickly. Our coffee cups were always full. Although the servers were swamped, they each greeted their customers with smiles and kind comments. Reasonably priced. Simply stellar. read more

Always delicious! Generous portions and the potato pancakes are soooo gooood!! Coffee refills and plentiful as well!

We came to Nick's Diner for the second time, on a Sunday, and we were absolutely delighted with the service we received. The restaurant was pretty busy and yet we were sat within 2 minutes! Don't even get me started on our server, Rene. She was super friendly and made wonderful suggestions for us to try. Nick's will definitely continue to be our go to for breakfast due to their quick and friendly service! You guys need to try it out!!!! read more

Ok, I've been here before for breakfast, and it was very good. This time we visited for lunch and we were very disappointed. The food was bland at best. We ordered the following: Grilled chicken salad. Chicken hardly had flavor and it's overall presentation wasn't very appealing; came on a plate, sliced (bland) chicken on top of a bed of spring greens with a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and some pepperocini's. Having a large salad on a plate wasn't very practical either. BLT. No complaints here as BLT are really hard to mess up. Nothing special that sets it apart from any other BLT either though. It was fine. Fries were super bland. Breakfast...2 eggs (over-medium), bacon, and potatoes. Eggs came over-easy. Had to reorder over-medium. Potatoes were very bland. Turkey, bacon, ham club. Same as BLT; it was fine nothing special about it. They forgot the avocado. Again, fries were bland - if they had any salt, you couldn't notice. Overall, the food is very bland and not worth more than 2 stars. I'll give them 3 for the speedy and kind service. The only reason I would visit again is strictly for breakfast. read more

Love this place for breakfast, the best in town! We will eventually try lunch/dinner. The staff is awesome, and the prices are great for the portion sizes. read more

Nicks diner II. Gyro and a side cup of clam chowder. I know, and unlikely combination. The clam chowder was the highlight of this lunchtime meal. I'm sure it was pre-prepared as I really doubt anyone in that kitchen would take the time and effort to make real homemade clam chowder. But it did taste all right...stale crackers... Now on to the gyro. I have been on a quest to find a decent gyro on the west side of the valley since I moved here a couple years ago. I have come to the conclusion that it just doesn't exist. (Anymore) But at least Nicks uses real Gyro meat, so there's that. The problems with Gyro are as follows: the onions were so stringy and bitter that I couldn't eat them and that's saying something. The tomatoes are rock hard, and the Tzatziki tasted off. Like it had soured. The Gyro meat itself tasted just OK, but the pita bread was the best component of the whole sandwich. All of that said, this Gyro was better than The competitors with their "New and improved" fake processed "meat". I noticed some other dishes going out from the kitchen that looks pretty good so I may go back to Nick's at some point to try something else. But this is not a place for gyros. I guess Peta wraps will have to do if I want a Gyro and don't want to drive to the other side of the valley. Dang I wish we had a real diner in surprise. read more

The entire staff was upbeat and smiling. Everyone of them seemed to enjoy their job and was interactive without being bothersome. I had the meat skillet and it was great. I like my eggs over easy and they were perfect. It was definitely worth the thirty minute trip and I will be coming back soon. read more

First time here with my sons, they wanted to try it. They've never been here. I ordered a burger. The burger was dry. The fries were kind of greasy. I think it reminded me of a Denny's on steroids but other than that it was OK but I probably most likely won't come here again. read more

Food was not all that great. I was expecting a little bit more out of a breakfast facility service was good though.

Chicken fried steak and eggs....is there a better rainy morning breakfast? Ours was everything we hoped for; a nice big , thick piece of meat, perfectly cooked eggs, a huge helping of thin sliced home fries, delicious gravy and a fluffy biscuit. Delicious! Casey, our server, despite being very busy was attentive, efficient and genuinely friendly. My suggestion is come hungry but be prepared for a short wait. The restaurant was clean and the staff did a good job of quickly clearing tables and reseating. We won't wait for it to rain to return, BEST local breakfast we have found! read more
