    Stopped in for an early dinner. Enjoyed the General Appetizer Burritos, some wings, pizza and an order of fish tacos. Everything was very good. Wings were well fried and sauced. The pizza was crisp and loaded with toppings. The fish tacos were fresh grilled and well dressed. Over all very good meal. This place has a huge menu, was packed with locals and showed why they have been in business since 1949!!! We will come back soon to explore more of the menu!! Great meal and man this place is busy. You can tell it's an establishment with a huge local following Had the wings, some apps and a burger. Everything was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great pork chop sandwich and fish tacos

    Great place. Had lunch there. Service was top shelf but it wasn't really busy. Nice environment inside. Ate on the covered patio. Ordered cheese cubes, nice and crispy with a light breading. The cheese stretches nice. The sauce could be warmer. Also split the cod fish sandwich with chips. Excellent choice. Great flavor in the fish. The bun gets a little soggy but the fish is simply delicious. I might get it next time without the bun. It is that good. The chips are well done and crispy. Not overly salty. Just perfect. I would get them again. Overall a great place to eat. No wonder the parking lot always looks full. You have to try this place. One last thing, tried the big sauce. Nice and smoky flavor. Great with the chips.

    Love, love, love the outdoor patio. Owners do such a great job with flowers and greenery! Nicks Sampler appetizer and the fried mushrooms are amazing! Love all the food, salads, everything is amazing and spot on! The drinks are great and refreshing too! They have Karaoke on the patio too. Jessie O is an excellent waiter so ask for him! 🧡

    This was my first time to visit Nick’s Restaurant, and my husband kept saying they’re pretty famous and have been in Xenia for long time. Their foods have so many options, and also with the very good price. The most important thing is their foods are amazing! My personal way I always just take a look the restaurant whole environment , even though they had so many customers on Sunday afternoon, but they maintain the environment and restrooms pretty well . Service was pretty good, we walked in and waited about 30 minutes. And the foods took a little longer, but worth it. Overall was great and excellent. Definitely will go back again.

    By far THE most Beautiful patio in the Miami Valley!! ... Probably and beyond but I've not seen them all, so I'm being cautious with my enthusiasm. Nick's has a fabulous, variety of delicious food, from unique finds like spelt and liver & onions, to the more traditional with the best burgers, award winning chicken wings, amazing green beans (no joke!), sweet potato fries (try them dusted with cayenne instead of brown sugar, yummmm)!! They always have a new and fantastic variety of draft beer along with a full bar menu with drink specials and happy hour deals. They are right on the bike path with easy access and bike parking. You'll not be disappointed!! 😋

    First time - I had the Reuben on Rye (corned beef) with fries, comes with a pickle. It is one hearty sandwich with plenty of fries, you won't go hungry. Corned beef was shredded, I prefer sliced or shaved, but that's my preference. My wife had a Greek Salad which she enjoyed and I had to try their award winning wings. I ordered 5 naked (non-breaded), original hot and cooked extra crispy. Very good, but $8.99 seemed a bit much for 5 wings. Service was excellent. You won't leave hungry and you'll have a good experience.

    Really enjoyed everything about this place that we sort of visited on a whim. Food was great. Though 10 bucks for the cheese cubes wasn't what I'd hoped. The service was fantastic, young lady was kinda tall, slender with hair in a braid I believe, leg tat. I wanna say her name was Ally but I may be confusing her name with someone elsewhere. She was very good, didn't blink when I asked for odd things like a side of raw onions & side of mayo (very good mayo). The vibe in the place was kinda chill yet it was very busy in there. Great visit, keep up that good work.

    This is the second time in a month my brother and I have been to Nick's Restaurant. Today we drove down from Columbus. Nothing but wonderful things to say about it. It is well kept and pleasing to the eye upon entrance. The food is outstanding. We've had a variety of dishes from the burgers to pizza and Reuben as well as several appetizers. Everything was made to order and fresh as well as very tasty. You can tell staff takes pride in what they serve. Speaking of staff, we're always met with a smile and warm greeting. Kudos especially to your hostess. I didn't catch her name unfortunately. She's been there in the early afternoon both times we've come in and makes us feel so welcome while sharing a short story or anecdote from her time living in Atlanta. We look forward to seeing you all again soon. Thanks.

    Have always loved this place up until tonight. . . everything we ordered for pick up was terrible, was extremely over cooked, sauce was all in the bag, & salad was wilted. Over $60 in food, we would’ve been better off going to grab fast food and that’s not saying much considering Xenia restaurants aren’t comparable to other cities anymore. Will not return or recommend.

    Took my sister and 2 nieces out for dinner, we all ordered different items, everyone loved their food, my walleye was the best, had to bring half my dinner home, they served large portions! Will definitely be going back soon

    We use to enjoy Nick's everytime we went. We come down every year for a convention and this was one of our go to restaurants. Well that has all changed. We were there yesterday and were not impressed. Food was over cooked and cold and we had to ask our server where our food was as it was taking a very long time. At the end of the meal they had the nerve to charge us 20% gratuity. When we refused to pay the gratuity, (which is our right for bad service), the manager was rude and ignorant. I don't care who you are, if you want to charge that much then you better treat your guests better. We will not be going there again!!!

    Great food selection. Wings were good but a little overpriced. We sat on patio next to flowers and a trashcan. Was a lot of insects flying around mostly due to that combo. Didn't bug me, but 6 yr old daughter was not happy. Note to not sit there again. Lol. Server was fantastic. Overall a great place but too pricey to eat there often.

    This place is incredible. We had pretzel bites, wings, liver and onions, the Cubano and the pork tenderloin sandwich. Everything was delicious, but I cannot say enough about the pork tenderloin! Absolute perfect breading/bread/pork ratio. Highly recommend. Our server, Jessica, was incredible. Packed house Saturday and she was ON it. We love this place and we’ll definitely be back!

    Nick’s is an awesome place to enjoy excellent food. They have the usual American fare and continue on ,old school, with liver and onions as well as frog legs. The gyro was excellent today as was our server, Amy H. We sat on the covered patio, enjoying our lunch, and the Red’s game on TV.

    We stopped here for lunch. There was a pretty big selection on the menu. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and side salad. My husband ordered a cheesesteak. I also ordered a cosmopolitan and we had the cheese squares for an appetizer. The drink was good. The cheese squares were also very good. The burger and fries were over cooked and the burger was so thick that I had to cut it in half. It was grossly large. The staff were nice and I was able to navigate the restaurant with my walker. Overall it was a nice experience. I’m not sure if I would return again if I was in the area.

    This last visit I had a horrible experience and left hungry. Our simple drink order was messed up. After we placed our order it took over 40min. to get our food. Food was either burnt or extremely cold. My medium ordered steak was burnt hard on one side. Hardened grease on the plate from sitting so long and being cold. The rest of my family's food was very cold when brought to the table. No seem of concern from staff, manager didn't even come see us. Someone had a non-service dog in the dining area at the time I was there. Greatly disappointed in this experience as we have had multiple great dinning experiences here before.

    Love this place! We were out for a ride and just stopped for lunch, not knowing how awesome this place is. The food was delicious with lots to choose from on the menu. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely check it out.

    Wings (naked) were amazing! I had the Sweet Hot Dam and On the Fence sauces. They were absolutely great. The service excellent even on a busy night.

    Came in on the bike path and the patio was this empty. We were told to go to the front to check in with the hostess. We did and asked for the patio seating. We waited over 30 minutes and no one was seated in the meantime. Ridiculous! The food was average at best and the drink selection was limited. Not a great experience for the 3rd visit in a row. Unfortunately we will probably not be back.

    Stopped by based on many recommendations but I'm not really convinced this place lives up to the hype. It had a bar feel to it, but the draft beer selection was one of the weakest I've seen in the area, I'm a beer fan and I just ended up getting water. Our waitress seemed like she was working with a cold, coughing and sniffling. I should have left at that, but we pressed on anyway. The food wait time was ok, but they screwed up my friend's walleye, it was super soggy. My burger was ok, wouldn't recommend the onion rings though. Had a stomach ache shortly after eating. The staff was friendly though and the prices were good, but I don't think I'd go back.

    Holy cow (or should I say chicken?)!! The best wings in the Dayton area, hands down. Our server Jessica was amazing. We will be back for sure.

  • 4/5 Pati R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service food was okay.. I was a little disappointed that my broccoli had no seasoning what so ever.. and Mike had sautéed chicken livers and they were burn and only 6 halves in his order. The fried green tomatoes were good the sauce served with them ... yeah not so much! I would go back and try something different!

    We've lived in Xenia for a year and a half and finally decided to stop at Nick's for dinner and see what they hype was all about. And by hype, I mean packed parking lot pretty much anytime I drive by around dinner time. My wife and I were not disappointed. The variety of food at Nick's is sure to cover the varying tastes of even the largest family. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. The indoor seating area is relatively small, but there is quite a bit of covered outdoor seating. We will definitely be back to Nick's. It has taken a spot as one of my favorite places to get some food.

  • 4/5 Doug L. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked the outdoor dining area, very nicely done. Appetizers seemed over priced, but they were good and the entrees were good value. Steaks were undercooked, but better under than over. Sides were very good, definitely recommend the garlic green beans. They seemed limited by staff more than room as there was a wait, but many empty tables.
