For a local casual bar that serves great food, has excellent service with a priceless view, you can't go wrong choosing Nicki's! I had the deep-fried pickles, and they were PERFECT! NO pickle chips here, you get the BIG slice with a perfectly concocted light batter! Kudos to the chef! The burgers look amazing, and the fries (the bottomless fries I might add) are HOT and tasty! Did I mention the service?? The young ladies really manage the entire place without a hitch! My wife LOVED the fish and chips, they were truly spectacular! Our son tried the mushroom burger, holy camoly! And those wings, FIVE STARS!! We will return! Can't wait!

Easily the best burgers in whatcom county, laid back dock bar vibes- 🍻 friendly servers and a happily loud environment. I've never left this place dissatisfied (or hungry). Burgers are all 2/3 lbs of meat and easily weigh a pound in total. Very reasonably priced at around $16/burger. Been going since I was a baby. 👶

Superb dinner with fabulous view and five star quality food! 😋

Sat outside. Beautiful day. Very friendly service. Food was delicious. Generous portions. Ordered the fish taco and it was the size of a burrito...was pleasantly surprised.

We stopped by for drinks and dessert at sunset. What a neat pub on a marina. They made us feel like regular locals. Great pub menu!

The service was amazing! I did not catch her name but she was fantastic at her job! I heard her mention she turns 40 on Monday. I hope that identifies her! I had a decent size order to go. Everything was perfect! Best burger and fries! Everything was fresh. It certainly tasted homemade! This for sure will be my new go!

This place is amazing. I highly recommend it and if you go, ask for Roxy!!! She's pretty amazing. The food is great. Big portions and reasonably priced.

Lovely view of the Marina & Sky window seating available. Waitress attentive , nicely old charm fashionable restaurant, fresh mussels can be ordered after 3:00 pm

Came in for a quick drink on the patio before sunset. We'd never been here before, and we will definitely be coming back! The view is beautiful, and my cosmo was only $9! The manager was our server. She was really funny and friendly.

We have been here several times before, which were good experiences and why I’m giving them three stars. Tonight was different. Our server, Kari, did not check on us hardly at all. She spent most of the time at the bar. My husband was supposed to get unlimited fries but she didn’t come to check until he was done with his dinner. We had to wave her down to pay the bill. All the other servers were much more attentive with their tables. My crispy chicken salad was nothing I’d order again and my husband didn’t get enough to eat when he ordered clam strips. My son’s ribs were good.

I've been hearing about Nicki's Bella Marina on the radio for a long time I live a long ways away so I took my mom on a road trip to see how great it was really supposed to be my mom had the fish and chips and by looking at the pictures you can see the fish is absolutely enormous I had their burger which was absolutely I highly recommend this place we sat right on the water and a beautiful sunshine the staff was absolutely beyond

It doesn't include any utensils, ketchup, and napkins when you ordered takeout. No apology at all for such a poor service. 😞 The burger doesn't taste juicy at all and definitely doesn't have much in it to be worth $20! 😰

A must stop if you find yourself at the Marina. We rode our E-bikes here and asked for a table outside on the water. We got our wish, and the location was perfection. Inside, a bar was busy with day drinking sailors, the feel and light was so cool as I strolled thru to the bathroom and the architecture was spot on for the marina vibe. Our server was on top of her game, funny, and just plain fun to be around. It added value to our lunch for sure. We had the fish and chips, bacon cheeseburger, and a couple of cold ones...Wowsers! The portions were huge, the flavors a poppin', and the beers were ice cold. So to summarize...location, service, portions, flavors, and the price point, all 5 stars 💥 quite the experience, and one that you shouldn't miss. Cheers

Went out to lunch with a coworker after a long day of work. Service was prompt and very friendly! We were seated quickly and were given "water, on the rocks" almost immediately. Unfortunately, we were both still working so we couldn't enjoy happy hour, but the bar looked gorgeous and fully stocked. I got the shrimp & clam combo and it was delicious. They promise you bottomless fries, but I couldn't even finish my plate! Huge portions of yummy seafood. Highly recommend for a good bite of American food if you're out by the marina.

We had a short wait to get seated, we were told it'd be about 40 minutes for a table for 4, and it was about 10 min. Our waitress had the best sense of humor and was an absolute kick, which made our experience even more enjoyable. It was pretty busy and the house was full, what impressed me is that all the staff seemed to be working in unison without any drama or anyone barking orders to do this or do that. Impressive! The food was excellent, my Bride of 25 + years and I split an order of Fish and Chips as the portions are huge, the Sister in Law had the 5 Alarm Burger that had a lot of sparkle - as to be expected - the Jalepenos worked their charm and it was more than she could eat - the Brother in Law he also had the Fish and Chips and was able to plow through it (he's younger, works out and can burn it off) There is nothing like having a great time, dining on the waterfront watching boats go by, drinking a craft beverage, enjoying our company, the comedy of our waitress and awesome food. I highly recommend you give them a go.

Usually we get seated quickly. We did have a 20+minute wait on this visit. But it was worth it. The food, one of the best for burgers. Not fry left behind. Service is great. Fun. If you have a craving for a table with a nice view of the harbor. Go here, you'll love it

They are serious about cooking seafood well. This place is sort of a divy marina bar atmosphere (which I like) and they have a great location with a view. It's nice to sit outside in the summer. They cook good quality seafood well. I hear the ribs are good but I haven't tried them. Reminds me of Alaska bars. I wish they were open on Sundays. I have wanted to go there at least 6 times on Sundays but they were closed.

I never write reviews, but I had to make an exception. I took my mom and Nana here on a Saturday night, and even though it was Saturday dinner rush the waitresses were some of the most attentive servers I've ever seen! The atmosphere was amazing. The servers joked around with each other and us, which is super refreshing and made it feel very casual and friendly. The food was cheap, delicious, and in HUGE portions. And the view is amazing to top it off. I don't like going out to eat, but after one visit I've decided I'm making myself a regular.

Fish and chips cooked perfect. Fresh, crispy golden brown. Menu says big portions. They are right! Great atmosphere, especially on the patio by the water. Waitresses was awesome! Friendly but not intrusive. It's a nice, relaxing place to eat good food. 😊

We loved it. I had the red, white, and blue burger that was tasty and huge. Tina had shrimp and chips. She thought it would only be six shrimp but it was 12. Both our meals came with unlimited tasty thick-cut fries. Our drinks and service were excellent. The pricing is decent too!
