This is Nick's -- the best diner in Black Rock. Don't be taken back by the fire damage on the second floor, it's being repaired. There was a big street initiative to get the restaurant up and running as soon as possible after the fire and they are back in business. You'll get affordable diner fare for breakfast and lunch seven days a week. Another restaurant in the same family is Sophia's up on Military Rd, featured on Diner, Dives and Drive-ins. You'll find the same staff at both locations and both serve the same wonderful food.
I don't know if anyone in the city hasn't heard about Black Rock Kitchen and Bar -- which has to be the best new restaurant in the city. The food is great and the beer and scotch/bourbon selection is phenomenal. It may not be easy to get a table, but if there are just two of you, eat at the bar!
We love the Sun Asian Market for spring rolls -- this combination Asian grocery and take-out spot is around the corner from the Dayton House. We have been known to pick up quadruple orders of spring rolls (two per order) to bring as appetizers when invited to parties. This place is on par with 99 Fast Food and super convenient.
For straight take out Chinese, we love the No. 1. Kitchen on the corner of Grant and Amherst. Good quality food for not a lot of $$. And if you're in the mood for Pizza, consider Joes:
This is the side view -- it's in the Tops Plaza and is the best source for NY Style Pizza. This is "Joe" of "Gino and Joes." We make a lot of pizza at the Dayton House, but when we order out, we order here.
Fassos Italina restaurant is a nice place to get home-cooked style food -- but we are also just a short distance from Santisieros. Granted, Santisieros' might be considered West Side, but we're claiming it for Black Rock.
There are plenty more places to try out -- all just five minutes away. Black Rockers like to eat and we know we've got plenty of small culinary gems in our neighborhood. Come by and try them out!
