The food was amazing, the view is phenomenal and the staff were friendly and efficient.
Nice, family owned little restaurant. Everyone was super friendly and they were all very efficient. My husband had the fish tacos, which he liked and I had the grouper sandwich which was very good. Would recommend.

We eat at Nick's at least twice when we come to Niceville. Food is great, always fresh cooked. I love the blackened shrimp.

Better seafood restaurants in the Freeport/Niceville area. Grouper meal was disappointing.

It is not like the years gone by! The food was just so so!

We swung by Nick's Seafood on a random weeknight shortly after Christmas. The weather outside was chilly and windy, but inside the restaurant was warm and cozy. Decorated with all kinds of evidence of small town love, this casual restaurant was one of the most welcoming places I've ever been inside!The items I would recommend:*Fish of the day - We got a blackened trout (which was the fish of that day) with two sides. The fish was cooked to perfection and fantastic. The sides were delicious. The mac and cheese side was yummy, but the side of okra with tomatoes (cooked together with pieces of bacon/sausage - sorry, not sure which - for a meaty boost in flavor) was my favorite.*Shrimp - I also recommend getting a grilled or blackened shrimp. It's one of the most tender shrimp you'll eat. So succulent, you'll be tempted to order more!One thing to note, this restaurant is really reasonably priced. You would pay way more across the bay for the same meal. The portions are also very fair and it'll fill you up for sure.Some fun facts about the restaurant:*Captain Nick (owner) closes the eatery to go fishing on Mondays and Tuesdays. Anything he catches then will be served at the restaurant during the rest of the week, so you know the seafood here is local and fresh.*A lot of kids living in the area get their first jobs here, and it's been that way for years. They all seem to be treated well here, and the kids that served us did a wonderful job!*We got to meet Captain Nick and he was one of the nicest and sweetest people you'd ever meet (so were the customers!). He gave us a grand tour of the land where pigs/piglets, turkeys, chickens/roosters are kept in the back of the restaurant. Some of the animals were free-range and friendly. It was fun to see!All in all, Nick's Seafood is well worth the drive from across the bay. Scenic roads all the way to the restaurant, scrumptious foods and the most lovely people to greet us at the end, we drove from Destin and we'll definitely be making the drive again!

My husband said, "I didn't think places like this existed anymore." And he meant that it the best way! The vibe was right (unapologetically North Florida) the food was great, and the price was right (increasingly rare in this area of Florida!) Something to note...as a biracial couple from Philadelphia we did sort of wonder pulling up to the restaurant if we might feel uncomfortable... Definitely didn't need to worry about that. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and welcoming. We look forward to returning when we're in the area.

We stopped at Nicks on our way back home to Alabama after a 2 day road trip. Really wanted some good seafood, and boy did we get it. The fried fish and shrimp was perfect! The atmosphere is fun and old style Florida! And it's right on the water at Redneck Beach so we got to watch the birds enjoying their day. Loved it and will be going back!
