Nicko’s Fine Foods
A Tampa institution, Nicko’s Fine Foods is an old school diner that takes pride in the fact that it once served Elvis. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner any time you want, with huge portions of classic food at great prices. The place is often full of regulars who love the pancakes, bacon, breakfast sandwich on cuban, home fries, country omelet, and burgers. They also have a great chicken souvlaki platter if you are in the mood for Greek food. The staff are super friendly, and the owner is often there practicing magic tricks and chatting with customers. Patrons can even sit in the exact booth that Elvis sat in when he visited, which is marked by a special plaque.
