Nick’s Diner

This diner no longer operates due to the loss of the owner. When it was open it was a decent greasy spoon if that is your thing. I recommend Dotties Dinette instead.

Don’t get freaked out by horror stories. I didn’t see any freakin’ mice here. Considering our 18-​person bachelor party found itself in Oneonta of all places on Saturday morning, Nick’s provided an absolutely solid hangover-​absorbing breakfast.
Yeah, I know, it’s in a disgusting double-​wide trailer that sits about four feet from the street curb — a horrifying accident waiting to happen… Did you expect anything less from a municipality in Central New York that 13,900 people call home, yet still calls itself a «City?»
Corned beef and swiss omelet. Big pile of home fries. Toast and butter. Unlimited coffee. I call that magic on a plate given dinner the previous night was entirely liquid based. One of the waitresses was quite nice, the other was super grumpy. Though considering the sudden influx of obnoxious thirty-​something suburban males into their confines, they handled the situation well and served quickly.
It’s good food, especially for the sticks.

Shittiest diner I have ever been to. The locals seem to love it, and the food isn’t terrible, but I was extremely grossed out when I spotted a mutated-​looking mouse scurrying by my feet. That place is extremely unsanitary, and I know I will never go back there.

Order what you want. Eat what you get.
On the road you need a good breakfast. You will find that here and more. Nick’s is an old fashioned diner. Even thought the color is worn out of the counter, the place is spotless clean. The other diners were all local. Th service was great. Like a traditional counter the servers are on a stage of sorts and the theatre was friendly. The good coffee kept following. The bacon omelet was tasty and delicious. On my next road trip east I will definitely stop in Nick’s
