Editorial Review for Big Nick's Burger and Pizza Joint – by Sasha Emmons
The Scene
A dive that's been featured on the "Late Show," Big Nick's lines its walls with photos of the famous and not-so-famous people who have eaten here. Signs describing the various dishes are hung every which way, and the waitstaff criss-cross constantly between the diner's two rooms.
The Food
It might be easier to decide what you're in the mood for, rather than trying to slog through the massive 14-page menu. Burgers, pizza, pasta, steaks, calzones, salads, chili, souvlaki, shakes, sandwiches, smoothies, desserts--there's not much you won't find here. Although the dingy atmosphere might suggest otherwise, the grub is surprisingly fresh and well-prepared--especially considering that most items are less than $8. Salads are huge and crisp, and burgers, including the one-pound Sumo burger, are made from 100-percent Angus steer. It's also known for pizza and Greek dishes (owner Nick was raised in Athens). Breakfast is served 24 hours a day.

We have been to Big Nicks many times, and I think the pizza is very good, and so are the burgers. Its pretty cheap there and you get a lot for the price, not only is it a large quantity its good food. The waiters are nice to you but wont be hovering all over you. Its a good place to go to on late nights there are open 24 hours with 24 hour delivery. Thats good service. I will keep on going there : )
Pros: Food, service, price, variety
Cons: There are none

My husband raves about the sumo burger from Big Nick's so I decided to give this place a try. After yesterday's experience, I've decided that I will never go back there again. The place was dirty and crowded. We sat outside in order to get fresh air and our server was very rude. She plopped the check on our table half-way through our meal and attempted to remove my plate while I was EATING my fries. I ordered the cheeseburger and found that it was average, at best. The bathroom is disgusting, tiny, and difficult to get to because it's located by where they wash the dishes. It was a gross place. Next time I want a burger, I would go to Jackson Hole where the food is much better and the place is cleaner.
Pros: Cheap prices
Cons: Dirty place, poor service, mediocre food
