Nick's Restaurant

We stopped in for the Friday night fish fry mainly due to proximity to the Overture Center. The pace was ridiculously fast. They clearly want to move people through. From walking through the door to done with dinner was about 25 minutes. This was strange but my real reason for the poor rating is the food quality. Nothing was good. Our fish was served room temperature. I suspect it is all cooked in advance to move things along. Our appetizer came after dinner and was quite greasy. If you want to spend $20 on a fish fry I'm sure you can do better than Nick's.

Stopped in today for the first time with an old Army buddy. Love this place!! Love the old school feel from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is incredible. Met the owner. Seems like a stand up dude. Friendly feller who was nice to me, my friend, and his employees. Respect. Not to mention. The party melt was served with; fries (cooked beyond perfection - which I don't say lightly), sour chopped coleslaw (which was also pretty got dang amazing), and a fresh kosher dill spear. Not to mention they use pumpernickel bread and at least 2 pieces of cheese on the patty melt. A creative and well paired combo. It was my first, definitely not my last, and besides my favorite bar/tavern (The Plaza) might be my only... Exceptional job. The waitress was also A1. Professional and friendly. I will fa sho be back.

Our server was amazing and super attentive. The food was pretty bad and very overpriced. $12.99 for a burger I wouldn't have paid $8 for. I ordered a medium burger and I got it well done. The meet was freezer damaged and rubbery. Fries were boring and kind of soft with no seasoning. Cheese curds were prebattered and frozen. Just a bleek experience overall. Sat outside because the inside was dirtier than I'd like to admit. We were the only ones there at the time and it was 730pm on a Tuesday downtown. It seemed as though who ever is running the restaurant just kind of gave up on trying to make the guests experience a good one. It was memorable for all of the wrong reasons.
