    Terrible service. It took over 45 minutes and their excuse was they had a large table. The manager was very rude.

    Burger was good but the Cobb salad should not be on the menu. The chicken was dry and just overall a bad choice. Stuck to the burger

    First time at Nicky’s…Walked in front door, upon shutting, it sounds like a gunshot slamming…fix it. Pepsi tastes funny. I ordered the carne assda fries and the 12 piece wings w/buff ranch sauce. The carne asade fries were mid, the wings were soso and the buff ranch sauce didnt taste like i was expecting. Was hungry coming in but didnt even finish half the food since i thought it was sub par. Felt the food/menu was over priced and walked away disappointed about the food. The waitress however was great (long dark hair, dont rem name). Bill was $78, prob shud have been $40 for the taste of food. Prob will not be returning to this establishment.

    Came to watch some football games and pleasantly surprised by the food! Salads were fresh and steak was cooked perfectly! Drinks were good.. easy to get into when you don’t have reservations for other restaurants. Perfect place to see some sports on TV

    Fun place! Food was just ok. Appetizer boneless chicken wings tasted like McNuggets and there were only six scrawny (about an inch round) pieces. Celery, carrot and lettuce accompaniments were sad and old looking. We ordered burgers-my table mate got the Stinky burger and asked that the bacon be extra crispy. It was almost raw. Can’t believe she didn’t send it back. I ordered the mushroom burger-great burger, but the onion rings I upgraded to were definitely out of a frozen bag. Mocktails were very good.

    Service was good but we were sat at a table that was two tables combined. They didn’t line up. The burgers were not the highest quality beef and the bacon was undercooked. The bun did not hold up needless to say since it was a greasy mess. I used a fork to eat it and skipped the bread. The chicken bowl looked fresh and healthy. I wish I ordered that instead but this place is known for their burgers. The fried pickle upgrade was well worth the extra cost. I highly recommend those. The same issues could be seen with my wife and daughter’s burgers. My daughter ordered a kids meal and there was no indication of condiment. Unfortunately it was drowned in mustard and the tomato asked for was not on the burger.
