Nikki's Place Southern Cuisine

I enjoyed Nikki's Place. It gives a home kitchen like feel. I would have liked better communication as I've placed an online order before and they just canceled it with no explanation. When I tried to call the store, no answer. I guess they were ready to go that evening. It's a small place, and we all have our days. But dang, communicate! Don't let that stop you. The food is definitely good!

Nikki's Place is a family-owned gem that serves up some delicious southern comfort food! Today is the last day of Black History Month, so I wanted to be sure to support a black-owned biz for lunch today. Nikki's Place never disappoints.I usually go for the fried chicken wing meal and my husband gets the fried catfish. I'm pretty picky about wings and fried chicken in general. I really like that their breading is not too thick and heavy, and it stays crispy even through transport when ordering takeout. The meal comes with 2 sides and a cornbread muffin as well. The macaroni & cheese is always a must, and then I usually go for the okra & tomatoes or the green beans. I ate every last bite! They also have some great homemade desserts, too. I like the peach cobbler and the banana pudding. Do yourself a favor and order some yummy soul food for dinner tonight!

Food is so nasty and flavorless. I tried Nikki's a year ago and it was equally as nasty as this visit. I was hoping the food would have improved, but I was fooled. This is not how real, authenticated soul food should taste First visit: smothered chicken with rice, mac & cheese, yams, and black eyed peasSecond visit: fried chicken wing platter with Mac & cheese And baked beans

Nikki's place is definitely a staple in the neighborhood! Walking in you could tell the community supports this restaurant and I love that! For my drink I ordered the Flop which is fruit punch and sweet tea mixed. Idk if my waitress named it that but it was good!! I did order a sweet potato pie to come out before my meal but it did not arrive until midway through my meal so I ate that later. The flavor was good, but I probably would not order it again. I ordered a veggie plate for my main meal which comes with 3 sides and I added a 4th. I initially got the candied yams, Mac and cheese and greens with a side of black eyed peas. Everything was so good EXCEPT those black eyed peas, they had a sour flavor like they were cooked with a vinegar or lemon juice and I did not like that flavor at all. I ended up swapping them for another bowl of greens.The inside decor is so down home, pics on the wall, old school ordering counter etc. I will return to try some other items when I'm in the Orlando area.

Not sure why the bad reviews but the mac n cheese was creamy and full of cheese. First time having fried pork chops like that and they were so flavorful, thin but delicious. Wish they had fried chicken but all they have is wings which weren't the best but they were ok, i prefer a crispy leg or thigh. The collard greens were way too watery in my plate, no smoked turkey in it so they were pretty regular tasting. The black eyed peas were super good. The gravy they put on the rice I'm not a fan of but I understand thats how most of smothered gravies taste like. The sweet potato was very good. The corn bread was dry, not good, crumbly. I will be ordering again to try different things.

The food here very good. It reminded me of good homestyle cooking growing up. E erything was seasoned well and coming out nice and hot. The service was great as well and our server Kay was very sweet during our time there. She even gave our party a complimentary pen as a gift for eating at their restaurant. The restaurant is a small diner setting, but they have to go as well if they are busy on certain days. I would definitely visit again whenever I'm in town again.

food and costumer services was great. We will be back before we leave Orlando . 12-12-24

The food was very good. The hog maws were cook to perfection. The service here was really quick for my second time "dine-in" experience. The ambiance is a homey feeling from all the rewards and plaques that adorn the wall.

When I went to Nikki's about 3-4 years ago during Thanksgiving, the food was delicious. However, this summer, nothing tastes great. My husband felt the same way. Perhaps the cooks have changed. I know that inflation has risen (Well at the time of writing, dropped) but I felt the food was too expensive to not be delicious. That was a waste of our money. The next time we're in Orlando, we may try again, maybe not two meals, though. The service was great and the ambiance was good- accomplishments on the wall made for a sense of being invited into their restaurant family However, I felt the entry was too small and congested.

I did a foodie trip for valentine weekend. I am from Tampa. Sunday feb 16, we wanted to try Speakeasy burgers, unfortunately, they were not serveing that day so i reach out for a recommendation and Nikkis place was provided. OMG...great, great suggestion. we were seated immediatly and serviced right away. it did takeyet some time for the food to come out, but it was five of us and greatness takes time. I had the turkey wings with greens and candy yams and the flip(lemonade and fruit punch) mixed together. Everything was soooo guudddd(spelled wrong on purpose). Our waitress Nikko was so awesome, she remembered all our names and provided great customer service!! I sincerely recommend this place. Do keep in mind it is a little small, yet southern comfort. I shall return. I pray in the future you can open a bigger spot...the atmosphere was chatter from other patrons and very busy with the online orders and take outs...I felt at home...
