Nicolet Restaurant — Restaurant in De Pere

Update 3/2025 This will be my last meal here. I don't have much more time and I will explore other places. Went there early for breakfast and not many people at all were there. The waitress took my order and the next time I saw her was when she walked by and put the bill on the table. Never asked how my food was our said anything. I wanted to place an order to go, but had to wait for her to notice me. When it came time to pay, she couldn't get the card reader to work, so she huffed and slammed it on the counter in anger and then walked over to the register. I wasn't sure what to do, so I got up and walked over to her. She handed me the bill once again, and I filled it out and left. I hope my waitress is an owner because if she isn't, she would be on the chopping block if she was my employee.

8/2023 Yep,I decided to go there for breakfast the next day (they do have my favorite breakfast). I sat down, and the waitress said that she would be right there. She came over and took my breakfast and drink order. Ten minutes later, she came back with my drink (because she forgot I was there). A few minutes later, my food came out, but there was no homemade jam for my toast. I have never had to ask for it, and I have been there, well let's say A LOT. I go ahead and finish my breakfast and my drink. The waitress did not offer me another drink until I was ready to leave nor did she check on me while I was eating. I have never had that poor of service before. Did I mention that this place has my favorite breakfast?

8/2023 update Ordered fried chicken for the first time. My wife was craving it. I ordered a 12 piece with mashed potatoes. Picked it up and took it home. Pieces of chicken were stuck together. The skin looked a bit dark. It was clear that they cook the wings as long as they cook the breasts. Much too over for our taste. We did get three "ice cream" scoops of potatoes that came in a Styrofoam container. We also received 2 bread sticks (figured there would be more). We received a tub of cole slaw and a tub of gravy. Lucky for me I don't care for potatoes because there wasn't enough. However, there was enough gravy to cover everything we bought. Not sure why the proportions were the way they were, but now we know. My wife decided that after having one piece of chicken, the rest would be for me.

Another update 8/2022

My favorite breakfast around. The farmer's feed with homemade toast. Very very tasty.

First time here. Pretty quiet inside. The amount of food was plentiful. The waitress was nice and kept up on my drinks. I thought the food needed a bit of seasoning and I am not big on seasoning. The prices are also pretty good. The bathroom needed some attention though. 8:00 am and there was no soap in any of the dispensers. Will I go back and try it again? I think I will. Tried the breakfast again and then again and then again. Today, July 27th,I tried lunch and ordered a Hail Mary burger with fries (I was told they were really good). The fries were hard to get through, meaning to chew as if they were over-cooked and hard. Unfortunately the burger was a frozen pre-pattied burger and the bacon was deep fried as well as the onion straws atop the burger. The bun was grilled, which was nice, but overall it was just...

We went for breakfast on a Sunday. We picked Nicolet over other options because its prices seemed more reasonable - based on the PDF menu on the website. We got there around 9:10 and there were some parking places available, and we got a table right away. By the time we left, the place was very busy. Lots of people crowded around the door, waiting to be seated. I decided to get the ahi tuna wrap because it sounded interesting. It was actually kind of bland. The waitress asked me what I wanted for my side as if it was included. It's not. It's extra. I also had a side of hash browns. They were on the dry and chewy side. Another person in our party got eggs Benedict. The report was that it was mediocre. I didn't want to get a dish with eggs because egg prices must be killing a restaurant whose breakfast menu is so egg heavy. But they had a sign on display that there would be an egg surcharge of $.40 per egg. So I guess they were managing that. When I got my menu, I found that my wrap would cost $12 instead of 10.99, as the PDF menu stated. Well, they need to update their website. When the check came, I had been charged $12.48 before tax. Why does this price keep going up? And the person that did get eggs got more than a $.40 surcharge per egg. Bland food isn't enough to get a review from me. But underhanded tactics at raising my check rubs me the wrong way. This is my feedback...

Edit Correction: I got the Smoked Beef Brisket Omelet. It does say the sauce is in the omelet, the dish is just not good at all.

Stopped in for breakfast because they have homemade corned beef hash. Decided to get the corned beef hash omelet, hash browns and a side of biscuits and gravy. None of the food I got was good besides the toast. The hashbrowns were Luke warm and soggy. The omelet had a sweet sauce poured all over inside, it was not edible. The biscuits and gravy were bland and the gravy was super gelatinous which made it rather unpleasant. My husband got a chicken Caesar salad and chili. Both were great, so I ended up just eating the chili. We let our waitress know how bad the food was, which was fairly obvious as it was all still on the plate. No credit on the bill for any of it, which wasn’t expected but I was a little shocked she didn’t give us at least a small discount or something. That’s pretty standard in food service for poor food that you don’t take home or eat. At least it was for all the years I was a server. Oh well,...
