Reviews of Nic's Grill (Restaurant)

Vince Slagle

The burger with everything and curly fries are worth the wait. The place is a small cozy atmosphere. The staff is kind, friendly and personable. You have to experience Nic's at least once. You'll probably have to make it a regular stop though when you have some extra time for lunch as Nic's is quite a popular destination.

Alberto Modolo

Great spot for burgers! One of the best in the country, be ready for a long wait! Definitely worth it... Nic is super friendly and talented on the grill! This place is cash only and their combos cost about 12/13 dollars per person... The daily specials are interesting, you should try the fried steak with mashed potatoes. The restaurant has a limited capacity, so this is not a great spot for groups. They also accept orders to go.

David Slane

Nic's has the best hamburgers in the world along with a friendly and efficient staff!

Thomas Braxton

Small space with great burgers. Worth the wait.

Donald horn

Great food and great service

Michaela

One of the best burgers I've ever had! Although we had to wait about 20-30 minutes to get seated, since there were only 15 seats inside, it was worth the wait! Everything is made fresh right in front of you, including the curly fries and burgers. My family and I will definitely come back in the future!

Glenn Burchett

Eating at Nic's is a special experience. Limited seating, small menu, and the food is prepared right in front of you. The burger is cooked to perfection, perfectly messy, and completely delicious. Fries weren't amazing by any means, but that's not what you're going there for. Make sure you get the burger with "cheese and everything." Definitely worth stopping by for what is most likely OKC's best burger.

Madison Daugherty

If you can, go with someone who's been there before so they can explain the dynamics of it all. Be willing to wait in line and grab a seat when it comes available. Keep alert for when Nic (the man at the grill) asks you what you want. It's a fun little adventure and the food is pretty good too. Friendly cats will chill with you in line. The dog in the back is not as friendly.

Brent B

Love Nic's. Likely will have to wait but worth it once inside. My favorite burger place ever.

Jd Wilmoth

very good burgers but overpriced me and a friend went and had burger fries and a drinks it cost me $35 I could have went to Golden corral and had a full course meal $15 cheaper

Ms. García

Omg!!! I love this place!!! I think this is the best burger I have eaten in The United States! It is very yummy!!! The flavor of the meet is outstanding! The service is also good!!! It takes a long time to prepare your burger, but it is because it is cooked to order!! The only "negative" thing I could say is that the place is very small. I will come back FOR SURE!!!!

DS B

Hands down, top five burger of our lives! It’s a tiny little diner, so we’re glad we showed up at 1045am, as it got very crowded by 1115am and people had to wait for seating. The two guys behind the counter were so nice, friendly, and helpful. And the burger, omg, amazing! This is a “must do before you die” experience.

"Best burgers in Oklahoma", naw, best burgers in the South.

Dallin Peacock

I'm from Dallas, any time I go through OKC, this is the place I stop. The burger is the greasiest mess I've ever seen and I love it. Not great for groups, sadly. This place is TINY.

Renee Minton

Wow, the hamburgers are huge and taste great!

Renee DeShazo-Rhodes

My most favorite M.I.O. burger place...EVER

wgonz Manassas

Excellent burger! Don't go there if you'reshort in time. It takes a while, but it's worth it.

Holly Brown

I was initially very disappointed if there are only two options on the menu. So if you're not into red meat this place is not for you. My boyfriend got the cheeseburger and it was a decent burger. I got the chicken fried steak and the meal left a lot to be desired. But if you're craving a burger it's pretty good as long as you don't mind paying a little bit for it. The inside of the restaurant only holds about 17 people total. So if you're claustrophobic I do not suggest it.

open your mind

Good place to have delicious food

Elva Obscura

Best burger I have ever had! So fresh!

Jerry Hensley

I drive for Uber and Lyft part-time, and the most frequent question I'm asked by people visiting OKC is where to eat. You would be surprised how hard it is to answer when you're trying to navigate, merge and not talk so much that you miss your exit. So I decided to create a little brochure of the sights to see and places to eat. And then I became very ashamed that while I'd been to Nic's Place, I had never actually been to Nic's Grill. Wanting nothing less than the full experience, I found myself standing in line outside in the rain. The smell of onions caramelizing was so enticing. Once they opened, everyone grabbed one of the few seats available. The first set of patties were already on the grill, so you just have to say what toppings, if you want fries and what you want to drink. Oh, and this is cash only. I had forgotten my 17-year-old needed money that morning, so I had to run back to my car to scrape up some quarters and steal the dollar I keep to tip Sonic carhops. There is a reason Nic gets a head start on his burgers. It's really more of a hamburger steak on a bun. He starts with a half pound of beef and sears it on both sides, then lets it slow-cook to perfection. Most places just do a hard sear on the outside, leaving the middle raw. Nic's are cooked to a consistent, tender medium through and through. Once done, it's served with everything except the bottom bun split mostly in half. I thought this a bit strange, but it gives you the choice of eating it whole or to easily halve it. My gosh, that first taste of meat and onions will take your breath away. There's no big smokey flavor - they are cooked on a grill - or unique ingredients. It's just done exactly as it should be. The homemade fries have a natural curl to them, and taste as fresh as they are. So now that I've experienced Nic's Grill, you need to as well. Or you need to go back. Nic's Place is much larger, they take plastic, their hours are more convenient and the burgers are nearly as good (the handmade shakes are great), but the stories of poor service and long waits after you order continue. So go to the Grill, if you can.

Christopher Harris

Nic's is by far the best burgers ever!

David Miller

Been here plenty of times and I have never not had a great meal.

James Albert Nannety

Nic's Grill is amazing. There is a reason why this place always has a long line and there are people who come from other places to eat here. The burgers have a really nice home made feel to them and they are seasoned very well. The people there are super friendly and courteous. This place is not the biggest you will see but it is definitely an experience. It is cash only. The atmosphere is a great one to have a nice lunch.

Christian Campbell

Big, fat, juicy burger with great fries! Delicious! Obviously, Nic's is a small place and can be tough finding a place to sit during peak lunch hour. I believe the wait is worth it. Be sure to bring cash, because they don't do cards. In case you forget, there's an ATM at the store across the street.

HeavyJ Mertes

Best burger in town! Diner atmosphere, very small seating area. Staff, is excellent and very friendly!

Kyle O'Leary

Cash only. But this place makes a fine burger.

Kenneth Butler

To start: With all the hype, the bar was set really high. This is one case that "meets expectations" garners a 5-star review. It was everything that I expected it to be. Small, cozy place, a friendly hello, and burgers cooked to order. The burger was a little over a half pound, cooked perfectly and topped with mayo, mustard, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. They cook them when you arrive so there is a short wait, longer if they are busy. Is this the best burger I've ever had? Honestly, maybe. There's a lot of good burger places just in Oklahoma from Murphy's in Bartlesville to Meers in... well... Meers. But Nic's delivers. My only regret is taking it to go (we ate it in the truck since the place was packed) and that was long enough for the bottom bun to give up. But still, just excellent. Perfectly cooked Well seasoned Deserves all the praise they get Just make sure to get there early Great job, guys!

carlos Perez

Best burger in the state! Always fresh and grilled to perfection. The atmosphere is friendly and service is fast. A must visit place for any burger connoisseur. Try the downtown location at night.

Nick Warden

Actually a pretty good burger and well worth the wait! As other reviews have stated it is is cash only. The service was great too! Really makes you feel at home. I got to try some of the in house made jerkey and it was pretty tasty also!

Shannon Delgado

Lives up to the hype! Best burger in okc, fresh cut fries and excellent service. Crazy good burger ( ordered the cheese & everything).

Preston Blochowiak

Absolutely amazing. No need to keep preaching to the choir about how good it is. If you haven't gone, you are missing out, plain and simple.

Karen Mersman

The burger is fantastic, but it is uncomfortable, tiny and cramped. No menu? Guess the prices? Definitely unique.

mike Winchell

Every bit as good as you've heard!

John Bolton

The food is always amazing. The staff are great and friendly as well! I just wish it wasn't cash only, but that's the only negative I have for it

Lorena De Lara

Excellent service and the best burgers in Oklahoma without a doubt!

Brad Logan

Excellent burger, cool atmosphere, friendly staff!!

shaun wiegert

This is a great place to eat. Get there early or be in line clear down the block. The burgers are worth the weight. Very good stuff. Once inside you will find a copy place and speedy service. I have no complaints. I do recommend getting the grilled onions and jalapenos on your burger. It is very tasty. I'm here on travel for work and may not get the opportunity to eat here again. Again it's a great place that was even featured on dinners and dives.

John Briggs

Great burger...tiny place

Randy Smith

Amazing, fast nd reasonable priced . BRING CASH

Leslie Rosales

Great Burger, Great People! Worth the drive from Tulsa!

Lonnie Harkins

The best burger you'll ever get

Gary Waite

Best burger in town, maybe the world.

Brendonedwards83

Not a bad spot..... If you're willing to wait a LONG TIME. Their diner holds around 14 spots TOTAL. If you go, there will be a line without question. The food is All fresh made right in front of you. Menu is simple: Burgers, Fries, and Drinks. But know, this is not a spot that you go to during a busy business day for a quick bite. Every day (except Saturday), they're only open till 2pm. You've been warned!

Josiah Chapman

*cash only* One of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Nic himself worked the grill and his associate worked the counter. 16 seats in total. Been in business for over 20 years. A local favorite and it couldn’t be better.

K vB

Nice people, good food (burger was a little under cooked), $66 to feed 5 people, but no bathroom, an the place was super duper small.

Daniel Dorman

There is a reason this establishment has an hour wait to get food here. And that hour wait is totally worth it when you taste the burger from here. I mean my gosh it’s like someone took a little piece of heaven and put it straight into your stomach. Every time I eat there I leave with just one word in mind. WOW!

Matthew Denton

This will be one of the best burgers you'll ever eat. What are you waiting for?

J V

Pretty good , very small and cozy place . Big portions

Randy White

This is a perfect homemade style burger, and fries with a restaurant flair. All fresh cut ingredients, hand measured meat patties, all cooked and delivered right in front of you by great staff that make the experience one to remember. It's very small though. Don't be shocked if the line straps the building, so leave time to wait because it's worth it.

Andrew Eyman

Great service and burger. There's always a line but service gets people in quick. Lunch takes about an hour. I've always driven by and finally decided to experience the acclaimed burger and glad I did. Also, you will be full.

Matt McClain

1 of the best burgers I have had in my 36 years.

Jeff Carlisle

Obviously the best burger in Oklahoma. Very quaint and small location. There is often a wait but it is worth it. Greasy old school hamburger joint and you feel like family. There is a reason all the best burger lists include this place.

Tim Jack

Best burger I have ever had, and the experience was super cool too.

Michele Bernauer

I ordered the OMG burger it definitely lived up to it's name. The Jojo burger is awesome too. The waitstaff is always friendless. Will go back to try the Reuben.

David Nguyen

Great place, but hope you have time to wait, since the place only fits a few people. But worth the wait!

Kristen McCabe

GREAT FOOD! GREAT SERVICE!. Small cozy environment.

Jane J

At first I wasn’t excited about the wait. But let me tell you, the wait is worth it! I can’t stop thinking about having another one before we leave to head back from visiting/vacation. When we come back this way we will stop by again. Amazing hamburgers!!

Alexis Tarman

A very nice hamburger joint. The burgers are nice and juicy and you get them hot. It's pretty small and, that I have heard, is often crowded and busy. A good place if you don't mind being shoulder-to-shoulder with people.

Travis Owen

I never knew a burger could be this good. The place has a great burger atmosphere. Cash only.

daniel ethington

Simply put Nic's Grill is freaking amazing. This place is very simple. They have two things on the menu burger or the daily special (usually chicken fried steak). The burger is life altering. Seriously. Once you have this burger every other one seems so average. The burgers are a healthy size. They are very juicy and full of flavor. They have all the traditional toppings for your burger. Me personally I love getting everything on it, especially the grilled onions. The fries are done just to my liking. Crispy but not overly done, and don't forget to add the Cajun seasoning. Now this place is small. It only seats 14 people. This place is popular and so there is usually a line out the door and around the building. The building has a very unique atmosphere about that's hard to describe but sets it apart. Best advice is to get here before 11:15 to avoid the lines. The staff is awesome. They are pretty on point. It's actually pretty entertaining watching them work because they are highly efficient at their job. Be prepared this is a cash only place.

Jim Cooper

The best burger I've ever had. Well worth the wait. It's an experience.

Andrew Fleck

Tasty! Well worth a Friday!

Bill Bixby

They are very busy, so expect a bit of as wait, but they're super friendly and the food is worth it.

Krystyna Ermer

Yum!! These burgers we're so lucky and delicious!! You can tell they are made with the best ingredient, TLC!!

Zachary Berry

This place is awesome! Atmosphere is amazing and the food is even better!

George Tate

Foods great they dont have friendly small talk just tell them what you want foods great

Kale Hayes

This place is awesome

Vinny Alfonsi

If you want a tasty burger definitely go here. It's very small and you might wait a while, but man this burger was delicious. I would go here again. The burger has great flavor and it is outstanding service. They helped us right away, and got the food to us as soon as possible. It is cooked fresh right in front of you. Definitely recommend.

Liz Rowzee

Small place but Fabulous!

Requil Golbek

Great service, absolutely delicious food. The place is tiny, so you'll have to wait a bit, but they give you a drink as soon as you get in and the wait is completely worth it!

JD Fisher

This is one of the best burgers I've had. Very messy, and very delicious with every bite.

Tyler Loyd

Im sick of seeing reviews like " save your money go to to snbs" that place is not local go cry me a river.

Desmond Collins

Yum Yum I would have gave them 5 stars but their fries need help

Tony Durocher

Excellent burgers and BIG! Small place so wait time can be a bit but well worth it

Mickey Thompson

Best burger in OKC. Maybe the whole world. Tiny place with limited menu and short hours. All that said, I'm 65 years old and have eaten a million burgers. I'll stand in the rain if necessary for Nic's.

Matt Braniff

This is the only place I will order a burger without condiments. Get there early and bring cash.

Greg Bowlan

Love this place. Highly recommended.

Lisa Paredes

Delicious burgers, friendly staff! Glad we stopped for lunch.

Josh Beagley

Simply the best hamburger in the world.

Aaron Chu

The way a burger should taste.

Kimberly Bradbury

Always great food and service!!

Brandon McCarty

Still as good as it was 5 years ago

Travis Tatum

Other than the long wait and cramped space the burgers we're good, the staff was great, they work hard to get you in and out. It was quite expensive, 2 people I spend 30$ including tip. Even though it was a great burger, the experience was not so great, I don't think I will ever go back.

Mat Hirsch

Best burger in OKC!! You may have to stand in line and it's cash only, but I'd gladly visit an atm and wait 30 minutes just to get seated in Nic's. I have never had to wait longer than 10 minutes to get a seat, but I'd be ok waiting for 30. The menu is small, pretty much the burger, curly fries, and whatever special for the day. The burger is a massive onion burger packed with flavor. The fries are classic curly fries that are fried to perfection and, especially once you add the Creole seasoning that is offered at the table, super delicious. I definitely eat my crumbs in Nic's!

Easy Peasy

Best Burger bar i know all over the world! Everything is just delicious and Nick is also a cool dude! Best regards from Germany!

Dris Littlepage

Delicious as always! Best burger I've EVER had!

Christopher Palm

Nic’s grill is one of a kind. It’s absolutely how I like to eat a burger! Fatty, greasy, tasty and unique. It’s a cool tiny atmosphere and you kind of feel that you’ve discovered a little gem among the jungle of fast-food franchise companies. Even though it’s not that much about the aspect of “discovering” since almost everyone in OKC has heard about this place. It still has the flavor of it. If I want to get something like a blue cheese jalapeño cheddar bacon onion bison patty burger or likewise I’ll go somewhere else but in most of the cases I just want to have a good ‘ol fatty cheeseburger. This isn’t just that, this is that made to perfection. Caramelized onions, crispy beef patty on the outside medium pink in the center, most delicious American cheese and and.. all of it in the perfect balance between patty, bun and toppings. I don’t care too much for triple patties, even though occasionally it’s cool but most of the time it tastes like a meatloaf between a bun, well NOT here! Just go there and be served, don’t complain about the opening times etc, be happy that there is such a place..

Yoga Fied

After being in the car 3 hours, we decided to drive an extra 15 miles out of our way to Nic's based on all the good reviews. Big mistake. We were tired of sitting, beyond hungry and ready to eat. We sat in this restaurant for an over an HOUR to wait on three hamburgers. When we finally received our order, one burger was not well-done (as specified) and the others were below sub-par. We were told the regular cook was out sick and the "big" group that had come in had put them way behind. The tables weren't even all full as we were immediately seated. We did get the 25% off (gee, thanks). We didn't even hardly eat our food. Needless to say, we left upset and hungry...drove to Chick-fil-A.

Vicki C

The best burger ever!

Jon Blair

Believe the hype! Nic's makes an incredible burger and fries! This tiny restraunt packs a flavorful punch! Your burger is made to order as soon as you walk in the door! You choose the toppings and enjoy the results! Best burger I've had by far in OKC!!!

UrielEternal

Juicy 1/2 pound burgers cooked to perfection. Place is a small venue so it's best to go early. Cash is only accepted but there's Atm inside.

David Davis

Good greasy burger, but idk if its worth the wait.

Gabriela Flores

Small cozy place with big juicy hamburgers, ordered a single, don't wanna know what a double looks like. Good place.

Tiff Tiff

Burgers were decent. Not what we expected from the reviews but we were starving as this was the first stop from airport. The guy with the dreads had exceptional customer service. The place is very tiny, maybe 14 seats so luckily we had perfect timing with short wait. This is definitely a dive joint but worth atleast a try when visiting OKC.

monique neal

The first time I experienced a Nic's burger I was in heaven. But this time I will very disappointed in the service. I recieved my order to go and when I made it back to work I had an uncooked burger and over cook fries. It was a wasted of money and I will never go again. If there was a way to do no stars at all I would've.

Jr Corey

Great classic burger experience! Make sure to get "Cheese and everthing"

pbates33

Best burgers in twn! Cash only.

Scott Davis

The food is cooked fresh very delicious and the portions are big enough and the service is great it is a very small place so be prepared for little room but the food is worth it

Chris Smith

You'll love the burgers, cash only and limited seating

Ellen Love

Delicious Burgers.

Ky Peter

Very good burger. Be hungry when you come.

donna collins

Not good. Saw on Dinner Drive-In and Dives. Guy lied, this place sucks. From the unkempt cook, small contested, people over you while you eat at counter to pick up there food, constantly getting hit. "Burgers are tasteless Guy-Food network I've eaten a lot of greasy spoon burgers trust me for the price and gas I used I feel cheated, angry at myself. I make better burgers st home. If this rub you wrong and you a fan so be it; they still SUCKKKKKKK!

Brian Babcock

Would be 6 stars if possible! Great food and people there were absolutely fantastic!

Elizabeth Haley

the actual real life krabby patty & the most amazing staff ever

Connor Hanan

This place only has about 20 seats, so if you want to grab lunch here I'd recommend getting there a little early. The burgers here are life-changing though

ALEX NUZUM

Unfortunately the hamburger was so good I didn't take a picture. Instantly put in my mouth when it hit the table.

Jeff Reinecke

Best burgers in town Maybe Oklahoma

Elizabeth Taylor

Best burgers in OKC hands down

David Starchman

Great burger, but be warned. They have very few seats and they let people come "save seats". So, the line can be out the door with purses on stools, etc.

Veronica Shultz

Best burger I’ve had, hands down. Combine the incredibly fast, attentive service with insane quality, and Nic’s provides an experience you can’t beat. And their curly fries? Beyond description. Do yourself a favor and get here!!

Michel Osborne

Yummy! but pricey

Steve McMaster

Great burger. Get there when the doors open for seating or pretty much wait outside. Long lines tell the story. Has to be good to wait.

Sheena Terese

Sadly they were closed but still have the best burgers

dayna ledbetter fuller

This place has some amazing burgers .But the only problem I had was it says that they open up at 11:00 but every time I’ve been there we have had to wait out in the cold and freeze to death for about 15 to 20 more mins . They should at least let people come in so they aren’t freezing outside while they finish getting things done .

Nick Hearon

Small place, huge burgers! Food was great, staff was very friendly and accommodating

Donald Conklin

Famous hole in the wall Old fashion One of the best burger you will ever find

Matt Wilson

Very cool atmosphere and one of the best burgers in OKC

Richard Newkirk

Easily...easily the best burger in the OKC area.

Mary Callen

Best burger in town hands down!!!

Mike Barlow

I got here at 10:20 and two people were already in line. This place doesn't open till 11. When the doors opened, Nic greeted everyone and carry on conversations. I talked to Nic and he said he's been doing this 23 years. Another guy working with him has been doing it for 21 years. I had an onion burger with cheese and jalapenos and fries. The burgers really good. The fries were and fresh cut. I highly recommend eating at the restaurant. The burger so greasy and filled with flavor and it wouldn't be the same if you took it to go.

Matthew London

Nice gill is good but it is a very small place not to much

James Wilson

Great food good atmosphere

Lora Weatherall

Best hamburger, fries and service. The building my be small but the burgers and smiles are huge!

Dagoberto Ocampo

Best burger I've ever had.

William Smith

Heads up: THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY! So don't forget to hot the ATM. Oh wow... This place is amazing. A little gem hidden right in plane sight. The food is great, the staff is friendly, and the customers are pretty nice too. If you go for lunch expect to wait in line unless you get there early. Grab a cheeseburger with everything.

Sky Young

I have never had a meal their that want superb. Ladies room clean,, nice place for date night

Jay Burton

First time for my wife and I.... it was as great as everything we heard and read.... thank you Calvin Brown (my buddy) for recommending.... probably the best burger we have had, and I have been in almost every state in the U.S.!! Staff was excellent and the patrons friendly.... visit it when ever possible!!

Scottie Swyers

Everything is made to order and the food is incredible. It is cash only so plan accordingly. There is usually a wait, but it is completely worth it.

Renee Bronson

Went today nice was not there and that was okay, but the burgers were nasty the meat was okay. And they skimped on frys. I have never had this experience out of all the times I have eaten here.

Tom Lester

Onions were exceptional. Grilled to perfection. Great all around! Sad we couldn't have fries though

Thorin Miley

The downstairs speakeasy you have been wanting to find! Nic! The Czar of hamburgers has a perfect lounge! Blaine and Lauren are awesome bartenders, attentive and knowledgeable. They know their craft. The food goes without saying since it's heritage is Nic's. If you have had it. You know. If you haven't. Try it.

Romeo Le

Best burger joint in okc. Cash only

Bill Barber

Great experience. Really good burger but, only 14 seats and late opening I won't be back.

Ron Jahnel

Big juicy burger and a small place, but worth going to.

Brittany Ammer

Literally the best burger I have ever had in my life. Well worth the wait.

Michael Sloniker

I've eaten there a lot and it's great Nick does a good job

Will Turtle

Awesome Owner Nic, and Great Burgers and fries..

Emily

Great food. Great service. Cramped but worth it.

kevin reeve

Delicious as always. Big portions. Best burger in Oklahoma.

Sean D

Good big ole messy onion burger with cheese, and jalapenos! I tore it up!

Bobby Gaines

Outstanding Place outstanding service best burgers in Oklahoma City....

Mackenzie Jewell

Always a treat to get to go to Nic’s Grill! Burgers and fries are excellent. I get my burger with cheese and everything. You can’t beat a burger cooked on a seasoned griddle! Love that they have expanded hours Friday night, and Saturday. It is a must if you live in OKC, or are visiting!

Hanna Moore

Very good, messy burger!! Loved it!

Justin Wolf

Gluten Free Score: 0/5 but who cares! Nic’s is unapologetically simple. They do one thing and do it better than anyone. This is an incredible local burger joint. The seating is extremely limited (16 seats total) so if you arrive after 10:45, expect a wait, but it’s well worth it! They make the burgers fresh right in front of you, the options are simple, Everything Burger, Everything Burger with Cheese, or the daily special (today it was chicken fried steak). The French fries are absolutely fantastic curly fries that are perfectly thin and crispy. They use shredded lettuce on the burgers and have the usual add-on offerings (mushrooms, bacon, etc). This is a great place to bring tourists or family from out of town.

Robert Dyer

Amazing fresh & juicy burger. Staff was really friendly to everyone. Son loved the place.

Jason Hatcher

Great burger and excellent service.

Daniel Angulo

The hamburger is great, very juicy and tasty!
