If you’re craving Italian food, there’s no other place quite like Nik’s. The food is delicious and doesn’t leave you feeling lethargic or in a food coma. The portion sizes are more than enough for one person and the dishes are reasonably priced.The service is fantastic and Camren, forgive my spelling if it’s incorrect, always treats each table with diligence and compassion. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming.I highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan with the Jalapeño Lime sauce as the entree. The Longhorn Ravioli is also a great appetizer. To finish it off, you MUST get the Bananas Foster otherwise you’re missing out!

Loved their eggplant parm. Got it with vodka sauce. My husband got the chicken parm with jalapeño cream sauce and loved it. My brother got the chicken mushroom penne and did not love it. Service was really great but felt a bit rushed. We’ll be back for the parm :)

Niks is consistently 5 star. Service is always top notch and friendly. There is a QR code at each table where you order drinks and food. If you need a refill, just flag down one of the waitstaff. I’ve tried several different plates but my all time favorite is the chicken parm with jalapeño lime sauce. AMAZING! I always have leftovers and reheat for lunch the next day. Mexican martini is yummy too.

Cozy little Italian restaurant that is both classy and casual. Whether it be for a special occasion or a casual lunch, this is a good recommendation. We split the chicken Alfredo, and the sauce and noodles were amazing. The chicken was okay, but I will admit I'm a picky eater, so no complaints. You gotta order the meatballs. I've been here twice and got them both times. The staff and service were excellent, and I really wanted to mention their attentiveness. Both our server and the manager or another server were hustling the entirety of our stay. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by and giving this place a try.

We ended up going to Nik’s on a Saturday night because they didn’t have a wait. The atmosphere inside is great. It’s clean and well decorated with a beautiful little outdoor sitting area. We were promptly greeted and led to a table. That’s where things took a turn.They lack a waitstaff and they ask you to use a QR code and order from your phone. You order drinks at the same time so you only have water as you wait.Menu was a mix of cuisines- minor Italian pasta dishes that appear very basic (which you add ingredients to after for an up charge- meat, veggies, seasoning), some American fare like burgers, Mexican food, and the oddly placed pot roast nachos!? Prices were decent and kids menu was good.Food was very lackluster. Meatballs seemed store bought, boiled with no flavor and sauce tasted tinny and plating was messy. Staff that brought out the food was very nice but nobody ever checked on your table forcing us to reorder and recharge our drinks just so that we could get a refill (extra charges were later taken off)Probably would not return, but decent if everywhere else is full.

Buzzy vibe.Has the feel of a neighborhood bar and restaurant tooGood looking bar with multiple large TV screens.Solid cocktailsTerrible ordering system. Poor service setup. One person running all over the place. Felt bad for him.Legendary - probably as good as it gets• Spicy Mexican TiniLoved - must order again• Mexican Martini• .• Penne mushroom chicken pasta ***• Vodka chicken pasta - ask for a little less red sauce• Jalapeño chicken pasta - ask for fresh instead of pickled jalapeñosLiked - not all that bad but not super• The bread

I have cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and limited use of my right arm. For these reasons, I am training a service dog. The trainer and I just completed a training session at the Four Points Home Depot and we were refused service(at Niks).While the ADA says all reasonable accommodations should be made, some businesses choose to deny service to us. I recognize how difficult running a business can be. I guess I can take my business elsewhere. I always heard good things about the food. I guess I'll never know.

The Chicken Parmigiano with jalapeño lime sauce is the focus point on the menu. The chicken was breaded well and cooked right. Pasta was very nice and the sauce is damn good. Would highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Gluten free penne, jalapeño lime sauce and vegetable was a great dish. Hard to find good places that offer flavorful dishes while being gluten and vegetarian sensitive.

Update: I half to change my 5 star review. This place has gone down hill. I used to love it. The new order process is awful, food quality has gone down, and honestly won’t be returning. They are opening a new Italian place very close and hoping that place redeems the italian choices in the area.Tried this place for the first time! I thouroghly enjoyed everything that we ordered and it was quite a bit. Jalapeno lime chicken, penne w/ vodka sauce, and the chicken rigatoni wi/ marsala sauce, every single one of those dishes was super flavorful! We also had several apps and tried the tomatoe mozzerella w/ arugula!! I will definitely be back.

A pretty reliable neighborhood "go-to" restaurant. Sad to see they're changing their schedule next month, closed on Monday & Tuesday. And our "regular" favorite- which we always told friends to get there- the bacon & egg burger, is off the menu.
