    Orchard salad and pizza

    Ordered a pizza and orchard salad and both were delicious. The service was nice and the waitress was helpful answering questions we had about splitting the salad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over all a good place to relax and enjoy a meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The picture is from the leftovers.

    I've gone here for 25+ years but now that I don't live around there, it's great to see it's stayed just as good as ever. Huge portions, great gluten free options and safety, cost is decent and staff is super friendly. Missed the 2 for 1 pizza day but I bet that's pretty busy. Breadsticks are amazing

    Breadsticks &  fried feta appetizer

    Can't miss out on the amazing hot and fresh breadsticks from here. I wish I could come back every day for those. We also loved the fried feta appetizer that came with pesto. The pesto and breadsticks went really nice together. I wasn't a huge fan of the garlic dip for the breadsticks because it mostly tasted like cream cheese but my husband enjoyed it. I liked how their Greek salad came with beets. The dinner portion was very large. I enjoyed the added on salmon- also a big portion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's cozy in here and the servers were all excellent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I couldn't be more disappointed... We read the reviews and headed in for our first time, and our last. Didn't get off to a good start and there was no redemption. The two hostess were too busy playing on their phones to greet us. But once the one finally looked up, it was clear that we were interrupting her evening. Once we were sat, by the third hostess, the dining room was less than 50% capacity. Yet we waited for quit some time for our server to arrive, whom checked in on the table sat after us first. No waters were ever offered or brought to the table. Sofa was flat and never refilled. Bang bang shrimp came out looking like soup, there was so so much sauce. The shrimp were 90 count (tiny) and overcooked to the point of being hard rubber. I tried two to be sure and pushed the dish away. When the salads show up, my dressing is packaged like a to go order and was so full it exploded on my shirt. Half the breadsticks were ok, the other half hard as rocks. So on to the main coarse, time for redemption. No. I ordered bacon wrapped fillet and my wife the alfredo pasta. Upon cutting into the fillet, I find the toothpick with my knife. Never removed before presentation and pushed in so far that I could not see it. Had to remove the bacon to find them. First steak was flavorless. At the least the second was cooked correctly (read- I'm too hungry at this point to not eat). My wife pushes here plate away, so I try it. The alfredo sauce is all parmesan and little cream, too thick to be a suace and was again enough "sauce" to be confused with soup. During all this our waitress has only been by to deliver food, never asking how we are doing. Never addresses that I sent back the shrimp or that my wife has also pushed her dish away. So I flag down the manger and explain our experience with the food and hostess, never mentioning the server besides the lack of waters. He assures me he will make it right on the bill. He makes sure to spread the gossip instead of owning the mistakes, now we are getting mean-mugged by ALL the staff members walking by. Server never comes back, never addresses us at all, only a glare as she passes us while we wait for the bill. So I paid for the steak, thankfully he comped the food we returned. Time is money, so I left a $6 tip too anyways. But in presenting the check he decides that arguing the points of our experience is the logical next step. Denies the soda is flat, tells us the bang bang is their best seller, and insists that the pasta is the way they always make it. My wife requests a to-go water, because she's only eaten breadsticks and consumed flat soda. He brings back a quart sized clear soup container full of ice water with a lid! Claiming they don't have to-go cups. Bro! There's three reserved spot out front for only to-go pick orders, taking up the prime parking next to the door and adjacent to the handicap spots. What do you give the to go customers who order drinks!? I really tried. But I can't not share. So many 5 star reviews I thought this was sure bet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ah man, I forget to mention the music or the constantly flashing lights around the dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whatever. Hope this was a fluke and y'all enjoy it, but we definitely did not

    Everything I read about this place is true! We got seated immediately on a Saturday night with very friendly employees. The waiter showed up right away to get our drink order. There are so many great sounding items on the menu it was hard to decide. I ended up going with the plank white fish, and it came with duchesse potatoes and a side of vegetables. My friend ordered the salmon dinner, and he said it's probably the best salmon he's ever had. His dinner came with rice and vegetables also. Both of our meals came with choice of soup, salad, or coleslaw. The salad choices were mixed greens, Caesar salad and another option. He ordered the coleslaw and he said it was awesome and I ordered a side salad and it was huge. As soon as you sit down, they give you a basket of breadsticks that are like soft bread, and so delicious we had to stop ourselves from eating it so we wouldn't get full. I look forward to coming here again to try other options because everything was absolutely delicious over the top and I rarely get a five star review

    E.G. Nick's looks like a family diner, but they have a lot more going on here than you'd except.

    Driving down Main Street in Lapeer, you'll see many fast food places, with family diners interspersed. You'll be excused for thinking this is a diner, since it has that look. But, E.G. Nick's is far more than that. The selection and quality set it apart from the eateries that surround it. There are a dozen excellent beers on tap; a 20 ounce Upperhand IPA, a powerful Michigan brew, only costs $8. The Moscow Mules are strong yes smooth, for $9. While a diner may offer a bread basket (as rare as those are these days), E.G. Nick's provides freshly-baked breadsticks without you having to ask. While a diners have a variety of soups, the quality here is far beyond any diner. The minestrone soup is like a chunky, savory stew, light on the noodles and heavy on the vegetables. We ordered a quart to go before we finished the bowl, and decided to order a second quart before we left. Tacos are available with either chicken or fish, and fried, baked, or blackened. The blackened whitefish is flavorful and light. One good thing that E.G. Nick's kept from their diner roots is the massive portions. You get 2 large tacos with a mildly spicy ranch, and a mountain of crispy, Rally's style fries. I would normally save half of a big plate like this for another meal, but it was so good that I ate all of it. Coleslaw was served with the tacos. This is how all coleslaw should be: not too sweet, not too creamy. The salmon in the salmon salad is baked with a brown sugary glaze, and it's substantial. The salad Itself is also massive, with surprisingly mild blue cheese and dried cranberries. When have you had any of that at a diner? The Black Tie Pasta is a huge bowl of creamy bow tie pasta with tortellini and blackened chicken. The Alfredo sauce is excellent, with a nice roasted garlic flavor. I honestly can't think of many places with a better Alfredo sauce (and no, Olive Garden, I'm not thinking of you). The service was prompt and friendly, and the food arrived at the table not long after we placed the order. The whole experience is so good that it's easy to forget that this isn't an upscale, trendy restaurant. But, who cares when the food and the service is this good?
