Nicole's - MIDLAND PARK

This place did a great job with my niece's Bridal Shower. Food and service were great and they gave enough or as little attention as requested.

If it weren’t for the Rude and Obnoxious hostess or should I say the individual who pretended to be that person my rating would have been at least Four. The food is definitely above average the burgers are great, the cheese steak is wonderful, and the waitresses go out of their way to be helpful and pleasant. BUT and it’s a BIG BUT we (5 of us) had the nerve to show up a a busy time of day (about 5PM) we sat immediately in front of another party of 5 and that’s when the hostess made life miserable for the two parties. As the place got busy it became her “mission” to clear the back area to make room for the people who had just arrived were waiting patiently and were simply waiting their respective turns. When an eating establishment gets busy, there are essentially two ways to “hurry along” the “slow to leave” patrons ... Subtle and In Your Face. The “Subtle” alternative, however, was definitely NOT the case. The hostess (or one of her emissaries) went repeatedly to the poor party behind us removing empty plates, glasses, etc. even though at least three of the five were nowhere near finishing their meals even placing service ware and MENUS at the edge of the table where plates and drink glasses had been cleared !!! If it weren’t so repulsive it would have been humorous. The party “GOT THE MESSAGE” paid their bill and left this whole “scene” was endured by that party of 5, observed by our and another party of 5, and left me with a distaste for the place that superseded the pleasant food and relaxed “hometown” atmosphere that this establishment normally offers. So, in closing, Definitely go this place BUT don’t go when it’s busy which seems to be contradictory to the reason of all the work and effort it takes to create a successful venture to begin with.

This place was recommended to us by our friends. They raced about the burgers. Had to wait over an hour for a table and another half hour to even see a waitress. After that, we never saw her. Burgers and food are just okay. Lots of better local eats.
