Highlights

Welcome to Li'l Nick's in Wheat Ridge, CO! We are proud to have been your neighborhood restaurant for over 34 years.

Business in the beginning was slow, but it caught on and there was a surge of business after two years. In 1983 they expanded the restaurant to include a second dining room. The original menu included pizza and a few sandwiches and pasta dishes. Bob and Paula along with Bobs parents, Frank and Ruby Quintana, helped to make the place run. Ruby made the Italian sausage and meatballs. Still today the sauce, dough, meatballs and lasagna are all made from scratch. They delivered for 10 years until Lil' Nicks became too busy to handle both dining room and delivery business. When they stopped doing delivery they decided to expand their menu to include Mexican food. People kept asking where a good Mexican restaurant was, and we decided since we knew how to make it we could add it to the menu, said Bob.

At the age of 8, Bobs son Nick began working in the restaurant washing dishes. He remembers listening to all of the Nuggets games on the radio and attributes his years of work at the restaurant to the fact that he is such an avid fan! Nick has been working together with his father ever since to make Lil' Nicks the successful family business it is today. When you walk in the restaurant you are always greeted by a friendly face and a feeling of tradition.
