Good food amazing customer service and great for a quick stop. No public restroom but clean sanitary and great staff. Classic American old school fast casual asthetic. read more

A great experience! I haven't been to Nick's in a while, but I'm glad I stopped by again. I got a cheeseburger with no pickles and a small fries. The meal was about $10, very reasonable. And the portion was a good size! The cheeseburger was great. The char on the meat was delicious. Great flavor. A very classic cheeseburger, no complaints. The French fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. A good portion! I actually shared my small fries with 2 other people! Service was awesome. Kind and efficient. Thank you, Nick's! Happy to support this business. Definitely check it out! read more

Friendly service served with great food at an affordable price. The combo burrito was dry, so I wonder if it comes with any salsa. The small size for fried zucchini was still a lot, but most of the pieces were the breading. Good hangout spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Parking - parking lot behind the restaurant read more

Hands down the best club sandwich in town! Perfectly toasted bread with thick strips of crispy bacon and thick deli meats. Crisp lettuce and delicious tasting tomatoes. The fries are nice and crispy. Huge portions. Enough for leftovers the next day and the best part is no soggy bread, lettuce was still green and the tomato was still firm. Burgers are also great here, but if you love a great club sandwich definitely recommend checking out Nicks. The staff is friendly, the food is great, and prices are reasonable. Definitely will be back! read more

We randomly got lost in the area and decided to stop and eat. So glad we did, we love a good charbroiled burger. The ambience is very old-school burger joint, love it. The service was super quick. Definitely recommend trying the fried zucchini and the onion rings. read more

My favorite zucchini fries! Always so fresh and crunchy. My go to would be to get an order of zucchini fries and sub the ranch out for thousand island. read more

This place is exactly what you think it is. One of those classic SoCal burger joints--same family as Tom's, Tam's, Troy's, Rick's... you know the type. No surprises. Called in my order and it was ready when I got there, which I appreciate. I ordered a big cheeseburger for my daughter. I didn't get a bite, but she basically inhaled the whole thing, so I'm gonna assume it did its job. I ordered a breakfast burrito with no potatoes, which in hindsight was 100% my fault. What I picked up was basically a flour tortilla taco with a couple dried pieces of bacon and a little cheddar rattling around inside. Not great. Pretty sure this burrito only makes sense with hash browns or potatoes holding it together. Lesson learned. Prices were fair, staff was genuinely nice, and luckily the burrito was under $10--so no real damage done. Was I disappointed? Yeah. Was I shocked? Not at all. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I needed a burger, was nearby, and everything else was closed, I'd have no problem stopping in. Sometimes you just need a burger spot, and this is one of those. read more

The food is okay? Depends what you get. If you get a Hamburger they are really good! Chicken dinner just ok the chicken was very dry. So really it's a hit or miss for this place. I would say try for yourself. This place is outdated and a little too warm for a hot day to eat inside. Restroom outside customer service is ok. read more

I only tried the zucchinis and they were bomb.... I asked for a large order since I was going to share with the wife and they were so good and the large order is really big....cashier lady was nice and straight to the point read more

The lady who took our order is nice and patient. The guy who's working on the grill is making some delicious food. We got the cheeseburger and it's a pretty solid meal. It has enough sauce to not be dry but not dripping down juice. It's huge so it will fill you up. It also has good amount of leaf & pickles, although it can make the burger slide when you bite, so hold it with both hands! Their fries are great! Thick cut fries, crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and just the right amount of salt. Good with or without ketchup. Tip: get the large fries, it's good for snacking or sharing (probably 4 serving worth as a side). Outside looks like a pretty old burger joint but inside actually looks decent. And clean. It's pretty small and they have booths right behind one another like in the ol' days. I think a lot highschoolers come and hang out here. Glad they're keeping the business alive! read more

was in the mood for a burger NOT from a fast food place so wound up here near work. placed my order of a dbl cheeseburger combo with a bean and cheese burrito. got a wave from one of the cooks, nice enough staff. food came out fairly quickly. Waited no more than 10min. Burger was tasty and a pretty good size. loved the fries and even though the beans in the bean and cheese burrito were a little over cooked, it was a huge burrito. saved half for the next day. the total bill was under $20. the food portions were good. and the price, not bad for what you get. i'd definitely go back. read more

The place was a old classic diner. The lady taking our order was very nice and friendly. The burgers were nothing short of amazing. The patty wasn't extremely well done, retaining the juices and the lettuce with pickles was just perfect ratio. The fries were the only thing holding me back from a 5 as they were crispy but kinda too thick. I like thin and crispy fries. Overall, I think it's on the same level as in n out read more

Good place to eat if you're not looking for anything special or you need a quick lunch. Been going here for years and the people are very nice. read more

A very basic place but great food and friendly service We had burgers and they were great! Fries were great as well! Seemed to be a stream of regulars coming for eat in and take away. Very reasonable pricing read more

I Like to try different burger spots especially mom and pop shops. We found this burger shop which I have been passing by for years finally decided to check it out. The parking is small but convenient. They have inside seating if you would like to eat in. The lady taking my order was nice and friendly and took my small order accurately. The food was ready within 15 minutes. Burgers where great they have a good and sweet taste, the fries were nice and crispy and they serve good portions. If your near the area or are looking for great authentic burgers I recommend. I'll be trying the breakfast burrito next time and update you guys. read more

Went to nicks again today. Ordered nicks special and large chili cheese fries. Was charged $21+change. When waiting for the order, realized nicks special is no more than $9 and the large chili fries no more than $6. Questioned the cashier. She claimed thought the bill indicated small fries too, even though only 2 items were written down. BTW fries come with the special. Anyhow she returned $3.10. Last time I was charged $24+ which seemed a lot for 2 since their prices are real reasonable, but didn't think to calculate which now I'm thinking twice about. Anyhow, psa, the crew are old so mistakes can be made. read more

My kids and myself love this burger place, the food is delicious and the people are very friendly.

This place used to be a favorite of mine and my family since 1998! It was our go to spot every week! BUT the last two visits have been huge FAIL and GROSS!! A few months ago, I ordered a chicken sandwich and it had a hair. I notified them, and they remade it. Took it as "things happen and moved on". I decided to give them another chance and regret it! As I was ordering, the cook dropped the spatula he uses for turning the meat on the grill into the trash can and didn't bother to wash it, instead he took it out, just wiped it on a rag and continued to use it. I brought this up to the cashier and owner who was there and the cook didn't deny the incident, yet no one bothered to wash the spatula! Such a shame to say that a childhood restaurant that was so dear to me since 1998 has gone downhill so poorly!! I will no longer be a loyal customer after these two unsanitary experiences. read more

Came here to try their breakfast burrito since it's near my work . The breakfast burrito is very basic which can be nice sometimes. You pick your meat and comes with egg, cheese , hash browns and you can ask for chili. It's not super huge and it's not super small . The burrito size is the perfect middle . The lady who took my order was very nice. The building itself is old but the inside was clean . I'm sure if you want more done to the burrito you could just ask for some add ons . read more

Food was great. Fast and friendly service. Very attentive. Will definitely be returning.

I just want to say this is how all burgers should taste, this is the bar I haven't had a good fast food burger in so long and I'm glad to have found this spot, me and my family love the food here I get the bacon cheese burger my wife gets the avocado bacon burger and these were 5 outta 5 great. The chili cheese fries were a 4/5 it could've been saucier the onion rings are great as well. The sodas are CRISPY 3 combos and side of O rings for 33 bucks pretty good in my book. read more

Love the pastrami sandwich !! their chili cheese fries are amazing! The costumer service is great ! Super friendly! Been coming here since I was four years old. Place is always clean ! read more

Love there burgers I love bringing my kids here the food is very good before my mom passed away she loved coming here for the chicken dinner

Very good food service is fast. The cheese burger is good portion and the fries were very fresh.

Ooooh those crispy critter fries were perfectly crunchy. Crunchy crunch crunch crunch.. Cheeseburger was really good with char broil taste and slightly burnt edges. Chili is questionable? Well... it came out very runny. Should be a bit more solid. Although somewhat tasty, it registered a devastating 8.9 earthquake on the richter scale inside my stomach. Even after I left, my stomach was still brittle read more

Hola! I've been coming to Nicks for over 15 years! This used to be my go to spot right after school when I was in HS. Then I joined the Military, got a few T-shirts ;), had a family, moved all around the US, and I still find myself coming back home and my must have stops is always Nicks. The great burgers and onion rings are totally worth it! Nothing tastes like Cali as much as Nicks. Don't get me wrong, In-N-Out is great, n so is The Hat, but Nicks feels like home. I'm so glad this place has lasted the test of time, and I can only say that's it's bc of the great food and the fabulous crew who work there. Much Love to them, and Muchas Gracias. Please post a positive review if you love this place and let's keep small businesses alive. read more

Have been going for years and it's always awesome to eat there. Family favorite is the breakfast and the nicks special.

1st time coming here and fell in love with it, the chilli cheese fries are on point!! Very clean meat and tasty. Prices are amazing! Will be back very soon. And the workers there are realy friendly and helpful read more

Wow. Was looking for a good charbroiled burger nearby and finally found the spot. I ordered a double cheeseburger, fries, and zucchini to-go. It took about 7 minutes to get home and the food was perfect. Just the right balance of lettuce, onions, and tomato to meat, cheese, and bun. The pickle added a little crispness and sweetness. The fries were crisp and seasoned just enough. I hate salty fries. The zucchini wasn't over cooked like some places do. It was light golden brown, juicy, and paired just right with the fridge cold ranch that they provide. I couldn't finish everything as it's a large portion. It satisfied my craving and I will definitely be back. No drive thru. Order inside. Parking in rear. read more

drove through for a quick lunch, not really expecting much. I was delighted to find the food quality was outstanding, customer service was amazing, and I will definitely be back. read more

Honestly the service was good and quick, but the food isn't the greatest. I should've got Tommy's instead, no shade. The chilli cheese fries are plain and the meat looks pink. $6 for this? Not worth it and they need to change the filter in their soda machine. read more

Been going here since i was a kid, still the best burger stop i know of with reasonable prices, 100% would recommend to anyone.

Good food, fast and polite . Been coming here for more than 20years. Clean and they have more than 3 persons when ordering. Cashier, cooks, etc. The service is great.I also heard from family members that give them good reviews, although they didn't know that I been going there for many years. The chicken dinner is the bomb. I recommend Nick's burgers restaurant if you want a good food. read more

I freaking love this place! The only place that has the best fried chicken dinner! It comes with toast, fries and onion rings!!!! Wish they could add fried zucchini too cuz that's good too! But I love this place and have always gone since I was a little kid. The only new thing I tried was their asada burrito, I would definitely skip that, I've had better. The fried chicken dinner is definitely my go-to! read more

I was very satisfied with Nick's, their cheeseburgers are absolutely delicious!! Definitely would recommend coming here with family. Nick's haven't disappointed whatsoever, I can't wait to come here to get burgers soon! read more

Great food. I haven't tried anything bad. My GF loves the fried zucchini here because they are the smaller "French fry" style. Chilli cheese fries are great and so are the burgers. Only con is that they don't have a drive thru. read more
