All the atmosphere of a High School Homeroom. The staff are unprofessional, overly casual, usually all gathered together around the central table gossiping. It's a loud crowded environment even when the restaurant is empty. The food is fresh, though many times over seasoned - VERY salty. The bread is to die for. There are positives but the service is just... More

Got a cuban type wrap to take home. It was very good as the girl said it would be. I went with her recommendation and was very happy with it. This restaurant is very nice inside. Very clean. Service was really good. They greeted us when we arrived and were very upbeat during the whole time. I will go back.... More

Nice clean place with very friendly staff. Wide selection of sandwiches and wraps. The potatoe salad I had with my sandwich was very good, fresh tasting. They have a good selection of beers and wine and outdoor seating as well. They have moved from Montgomery St to the Waynesville Plaza.

My wife, adult son, and I ate at Nico's this week while on a trip to the Asheville area (based on the reviews I read on Tripadvisor). We weren't disappointed. My wife and I had the Mojo - cuban style marinated, roasted pork... delicious, tender, and very filling. A great lunch.

My friend and I met for lunch there last week. They have moved to a new location from downtown to a local shopping center, but the food is good as always. I had the mufaletta this time, and it was excellent with a tasty homemade olive salad. They also have Cuban sandwiches, subs, reubens, hamburgers, etc., but I prefer the... More

Pick up your frequent flyer Cuban card from Nico's and enjoy. I'm addicted to these sandwiches. Sometimes a little too much mayo, but always great!

Nico's restaurant is a relaxed setting where you find good food and personal attention. We have eaten many times here finding the same great quality of food and service every time. We have also used their catering service. Our guests loved the food and wanted to know who catered it. Carol & Glenn G

Had lunch at Nico's Cafe for the first time and was very pleased. I had the Bayshore Wrap and it was fresh, plentiful and fast. This wrap had lots of flavor and plenty of fresh veggies and the chicken was just the right portion. There is a variety to choose from on their menu so there is something for everyone.... More

My wife and I kept missing the opportunity to visit this place until the last day of our vacation here in Waynesville. The homeowner of our rental house and several friends who live here almost demanded that we go and give this place a try. My wife had a Mojo Pork wrap of some type that had black beans in... More
