Nick’s Bar & Grill used to be one of my absolute favorite places to go for dinner. Great service, steaks always cooked right etc. NOT ANYMORE. Went at 5ish tonight. Got greeted and seated right away. From there it was all downhill Ordered Onion Rings for an appetizer. Undercooked and very greasy. Ok. No big deal. I ordered the Ribeye medium rare, my wife ordered the salmon. Both ordered mashed potatoes and vegetables. Meal comes out. I add a pat of butter to my potatoes and it doesn’t melt (butter wasn’t hard either) potatoes were barely warm. My steak looked like a steak from Bonanza and was easily medium well. Waitress was MIA from before I’d cut my steak until midway through meal. By then it’s too late. My wife’s Salmon came out hot but really bland. And then the final insult. Went to use our gift card (they don’t expire unless clearly stated). “Oh, that’s one of the old cards, we changed systems and can’t verify”. There’s $75.00 on the card. Oh good, so now Nick’s got paid for a crappy meal twice?! I didn’t even finish my steak. It was that bad. Sad to see one of the longtime better restaurants go completely in the tank. — Very disappointed Nick's Bar & Grill.

We hadn’t been here in years. We were not impressed Hubs steak was tuff and grisly. They made him another but it was still not great. My halibut was tuff. Salad was iceberg which is just okay. Our server was great. Personable and friendly.

Nick’s is always a win! If you’re there, you are family. The staff truly cares that your experience is spectacular. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is top-notch. Twice a month I meet up with a wonderful friend to sit at the bar, eat some snacks, and enjoy a bourbon or martini while she drinks wine. Even with the rarity of my visits, the bartenders treat me like a regular and work to get to know me. You cannot match the level of service! I typically stay for a short amount of time, eat while I’m there, and also take food home for my high school aged children. The to go food is always perfectly packaged and delicious even if it sits on the counter for a bit while we finish our conversation and settle bills. I cannot recommend Nick’s enough. I almost hate to post this review and ruin the truly beautiful experience.

The service was exceptional. The waitress was quick, efficient, and friendly, managing many tables with ease. She was attentive to refills and prompt. The food arrived quickly, but it was average. I ordered a steak and penne Alfredo. The steak was decent with a nice char, the Alfredo had no flavor, however it was a large portion. Initially, I planned to order takeout, but I decided to dine in instead. Online, the lunch menu listed the steak at $14.99 and the Alfredo at $7.99. However, dining in during lunch hours, the menu prices were $31 for the steak and $15 for the Alfredo. The waiter explained that the online menu was outdated by about 12 years. When the bill came, the steak was listed at $36.50. Unfortunately, this was a bit misleading. What I expected to be a $25 lunch turned into a $60 lunch. Overall, great service, food was okay. Extra star for the service despite the misleading pricing.
