I no longer live in the area, but this is where I grew up. My family used to stop here on our way from Van Alstyne to southern Oklahoma, when we would go to visit family.
I was recently in town handling affairs for my elderly father. A dreadful time in any woman’s life, who has always been Daddy’s girl.
I was in town for a week, just one week to make memories, not knowing if they might be our last.
My husband and I visited Nick’s on two occasions that week. The first was a weekday morning and the food and service were delightful. That is why on our last day, before making our way back to Lexington, KY we stopped for breakfast. This was a busy Saturday morning, and the place was packed. Halfway expecting to hear a wait time, when we walked through door, but instead we were greeted by a frantic host who hollered, “Seat yourself.”
I will admit that after the week, I had and the thought of leaving my dad had left me emotionally raw.
We made our way to the back and found a table, butted less than two feet away from a serving station, that contained coffee, water pitchers and an open ice cavern. A bus boy stood over the station eating a muffin. Crumbs dribbled over the open ice, while he sipped on a drink.
I reached behind me and grabbed the coffee pot and filled the cups on our table. This is where the trouble began.
The staff was a buzz about the fact that I had poured my own coffee. Two waitress approached our table and began to scold me so loudly that the other diners began to stare. The gossip spread so fast that I could feel the burning eyes of the entire staff.
When our food arrived, I was so uncomfortable, I was afraid my food might have been tampered with. So while my husband ate I went out to our car and cried.
This memory has bothered me since. I will never set foot in this establishment, nor will I ever have a kind word to say.

Yes, it is a good place for old style cooking, great prices and good amount of food. The atmosphere was ruined by a loud mouthed profanity laced conversation from one of the regulars, I presume. Because the staff welcomed the conversation. I have visited there a few times but the welcome is cold unless you are one of the known regulars.

We just had soup ..both soups were excellent. Then we followed it up with a dessert which was also excellent. The staff were friendly and service was fast. Very enjoyable lunch experience.

Stopped by on our way home from the casino and picked this over fast food. 💯 recommend! Great Food, friendly staff. you will not be disappointed
The cinnamon swirl french toast is a must try. My brother even bought a loaf of their cinnamon swirl bread for $10 so he could make some for his wife the next morning. It's that good.
