Nick's Spaghetti & Steak House

Nick's has been my husband's favorite restaurant forty years. We've seen many restaurants come and go. Nick's has sustained. Hubby always gets the medium steak. I like the jumbo butterfly shrimp, fried. I wish they would update their side salad. I'm not a fan of iceberg lettuce and one cherry tomato...really.

My sister and I decided to go to Nicks for our birthday dinner. From the start- we were meet by Katie (our sever)- super nice and personable. Katie never stopped taking care of us while we were in the restaurant. I could see her looking at us and I’m sure other customers from across the room- just making sure we didn’t need anything. Appetizers arrived quickly and they were delicious… next up was chicken parm for me and steak for my sister. Both were cooked perfectly and did not disappointment. I had eagerly said I was going to finish my bowl and Katie had no problem keeping me motivated to do that. I was very happy with the food and especially the service. Katie did absolutely go above and beyond and you should consider yourself lucky if you get her as your server. Be sure to tell her I said hi and thank you. The price of our meal was very reasonable- two dinner meals and an appetizer for right at $50.

A year later and I still can't understand why this place isn't packed to the gills every night. This time my mom and I went for lunch and basically had the place to ourselves. I had souvlaki and Greek-style rice and she had a Delmonico with side salad and baked potato. Her "small" steak was huge, flavorful and cooked rare, just as she'd asked. My souvlaki was tender and well marinated. Side salad was very simple -- just iceberg, onion and cherry tomatoes -- but very fresh. Service was great but with long gaps between waitress sightings. Prices were reasonable.
