Big Nick's Burger Joint & Pizza Joint

Big Nick's became our favourite haunt in New York. The burgers are wonderful: I recommend the stuffed Gorgonzola burger. To be fair, everything else was good too. Even the house red wine was pleasingly rough and drinkable. Outside, it's a busy pavement cafe. Inside, it's a diner - slightly hot, but not too hot - with a wonderfully bewildering array of specials on every wall. Highly recommended.

I love this place. I've been there five times so far and I'm planning to pay another visit soon. The burgers are awesome, really tasty, and there are a lot of different combinations you can try. Only once I got a very rare burger when I ordered a medium one, but it was a rush hour. When I complained they ave me a new one, perfect medium (obviously for free). There is not a big collection of beers, so my suggestion is to go for the tap water.

Decent burgers with an amazing variety offered - everything from beef to turkey to bison and more. The large one is enough for a family of four or for someone with an amazingly low cholesterol level. Pizza is ok too. But the real thing about Nick's is how much they can get on a menu in a place where you need to walk sideways to get down the aisle and into your seat. A real NY experience.

Let's ignore the decor for a moment and talk about the food - the pizza, in particular. The Pizza is to perfection. The pizzas have the perfect amount of sauce, the right amount of cheese, and seasoning that can't be beat. All in the end, it's baked to seal the deal of perfection. With a crust you can actually eat, these pizzas are no less than the best pizza in NYC! Bring your friends and go get a "Sumo" pie. Ask the server to have some basil on top. It's simply perfect! I'll edit this review when I go for their burgers or something.

Big nicks is the place to be if you are hungry at night. they are open 24/7 and the good is really excellent. they will make everything your way and more. their menu is crazy large so you will also be able to find your favorite dish to munch on for that moment. the place is narrow and seats are small but totally worth it to smush myself in those chairs. outdoor seating is all year long you can always opt to sit outdoor.

This is an awesome place. It's not fine dining -- that's not why you would come here. It's a great place to get a lot of food if you are feeling burgers or pizza or greek food. You get your food really fast and they do delivery too. I think the burgers could be a tad more juicy, they tend to be on the dry side, but it's definitely a great place to get food if you're not on a date.

Don't let the looks of this place deceive you. Although it's not the most beautiful spot to say the least, Big Nick's has great burgers and you'll never get out of there still hungry. With great servic that's always warm, this is a great solution for when you're hungry for some good burgers.

Simply the most extensive menu you may ever see in any eatery. A funky, retro setting with every square inch of wall covered with menu items and mementos. Had the cheddar burger, about the size of a sea turtle head. And a righteous cannoli. Both excellent. (Originally posted to Yelp 06–01-2011)
