    We stopped here prior to our flight departing Tampa. The diner was full of locals which is usually a good sign. The menu is large, the staff friendly, and quick. Our meal came out in no time and did not disappoint.

    Nicki’s sits right outside the Tampa Airport and was the perfect diner for a great breakfast after arriving into the area. It seems like a consistently busy place and the staff appears to be efficient and works hard. We were seated after a short wait and had our meals out quickly. The food is definitely filling and comes in large portions. I could have used a nap after, but we left happy.

    Incredible! We stopped here with 2 families of 4 the other day and couldnt have been more impressed and pleased with our service and meals! Our waitress was awesome as well, she actually had a personality - which seems to be uncommon these days. The 4 adults had the country skillet, the cowboy skillet, the biscuit debris and steak and eggs. All of it was perfectly made and tasted great! We will be back here, without a doubt. Kudos to management. 🔥

    Hands down the best breakfast or brunch place in Florida, arguably the United States. Food comes out hot, delicious, quickly, and surprisingly affordable even during today’s prices. The staff is always so welcoming and hospitable. The ambiance and atmosphere is casual and relaxed, almost like the stereotypical atmosphere of a diner or restaurant in the 1940s. Will always be coming here to get my steak and eggs done right.

    We got out order to go but I really appreciated the kind smile of the waitress that helped us out. She was a very nice lady when we came to pick up our food. The chicken fried steak was missing but they quickly refunded the difference.

    Nice place if your looking for wholesome well cooked food. Not greasy and the portions are very good. The food was very nicely made and they followed all instructions on take out not messy up the order. The only thing I would of liked if they had turkey bacon other than that great place to eat.

    This place was good. Food was very good. Service was good too. Prices are reasonable, and I like that you can get biscuit and gravy with most dishes instead of toast or muffin. They have a very good breakfast menu. The fresh fruit was delicious too. Overall a good pace to get a hearty country breakfast. We'll be back for sure!

    Arr, me hearties, gather round for a tale about Nikki's Omelette, the treasure of the culinary seas! This old pirate's taste buds were in for a wild adventure, filled with flavors that made me want to hoist the Jolly Roger high. As I docked me ship at Nikki's galley, the aroma of sizzling omelettes wafted through the salty air. The scurvy dogs of hunger gnawed at me belly, so I ordered the "Okey Smokey Omelette" omelette, fit for a seafaring captain like meself. The crew in the galley scurried about, preparing the ingredients like seasoned sailors prepping the ship for a storm. When the dish was presented, me eyes widened like a pirate spotting a hidden treasure chest. The omelette was a sight to behold, its golden hue reminiscent of the sun setting over calm waters. With every bite, I discovered a bounty of flavors, each one dancing on me tongue like a crew of jolly sailors celebrating a successful plunder. The eggs, as fluffy as sea foam, were folded over a treasure trove of ingredients. Savory chunks of sausage sailed through me pallet, adding a delightful oceanic twist. The diced bell peppers and onions were like colorful flags fluttering in the wind, bringing a touch of freshness to the dish. And oh, the cheese! It melted like a pirate's heart when he hears a siren's song, binding all the ingredients in a glorious symphony of flavor. The omelette was served with a side of crispy, golden home fries, akin to nuggets of gold from a sunken galleon. The potatoes were seasoned with herbs and spices that made me taste buds do a jig, reminding me of the exotic spices discovered on faraway islands during me voyages. Now, me hearties, let's talk about the service. The crew at Nikki's galley were as friendly as fellow pirates, offering a warm welcome and a hearty laugh. The ambiance was cozy. The atmosphere, combined with the delicious fare, made me feel like I had discovered a hidden oasis in the vast ocean of culinary options. So, me fellow sea lovers, if ye be in search of a breakfast treasure that will satisfy even the most ravenous of appetites, set sail for Nikki's Omelette. It be a treasure worth seekin', a taste bud adventure fit for any old pirate who still yearns for the high seas. Fair winds and a full belly to ye, me hearties!

    Great breakfast place. Great food, service is among the best and it's very clean. Old school decor is actually a plus! A little bit expensive but not too bad. Everyone has raised their prices so don't hold it against them. You will remember the food and the experience not the bill. Highly recommended!

    Service was ok. Waited 5 minutes to be seated which was great compared to waffle house wait of over 30. Got food pretty quick,, toast was burnt ,, potatoes burnt and French toast ends burnt. Definitely wish I waited for Waffle House.

    What a gem of a place. Huge selection of breakfast options, super fast service, and delicious food at great prices. This will be a regular stop for us!

  • 4/5 John S. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved the food here. The portions were a little small but the food tasted great and came out fast. The menu was pretty unique so that was great. When you go to a diner you expect a lot of the same. You did get that but they made it their own. The service was good and seemed personal. However I wasn't offered a single refill on my drink that to me is a big deal for service. Other than that it was a great experience. Definitely worth a return visit.

    Food was good but our waitress was great! I ordered the biscuits debris which is biscuits and gravy sausage ham and bacon over easy eggs and substituted the home fries for fresh fruit and the fruit was extremely fresh. We also got a California omelet and cream cheese actually really works in an omelette!
