“ Honestly killer. Went around 4 am and it was fairly busy. Pancakes were fluffy, bacon was crispy, hash browns delicious. Eggs tasted like hotel breakfast eggs but it was my bad for getting scrambled. The steak was better than most 24/7 diners. ”
“ First time visit from out of state and I had a great experience! The Texas Skillet, which included corned beef hash, was delicious and came in generous portions. The country fried steak was perfectly cooked and just as satisfying, and the chocolate chip pancakes were amazing. The service was friendly, and our food came out quickly, making the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to when I visit Indiana again. ”
“ Nice little local spot, staff was friendly and attentive. Very extensive menu, breakfast for dinner is always a hit. Greek Skillet had an excellent flavor. ”
“ Went in there at 3 am after a night out. Service was fast. Food was great! ”
“ The food was good. I kind of got excited and started eating before snapping a picture. So, excuse the chunk missing. I love a good omelet though and this one was definitely good. The atmosphere was pretty quiet. I went around 10 pm on a Wednesday. It wasn't busy and the food arrived quickly. They are open 24 hrs which is pretty cool. I must go back and try more of their menu. Until next time! ”
“ Today on Easter Sunday my niece and I were eating here.The food was great. The service was great. But, this review is about the staff who didn't wait on us. A family was leaving. Their son was a differently abled adult who was able to communicate, but didn't have a large vocabulary. The entire staff was very friendly and kind with him. Jenny especially went out of her way to treat him well. It was heartwarming to see people being so kind. I'm grateful that there are good people and that Nick's Patio has hired so many of them. We've been going here for years, but will be coming more frequently because of this visit. ”
“ Talk about a great place to eat! A down to earth, warm, and homely feel. Felt like eating in a diner or cafe. Homemade toco shell with a salad and breakfast omelet. ”
