Update April 2024. They seem to have gone out of business. Update May 2023. They've switched to model where you scan code with your phone, then input your entire order, and can also pay that way. The servers do take care of the table, but refills can come a touch slow. The meals, otoh, came out fast, hot, and delicious soo good. The number one reason I keep coming back. me some Jalapeno Lime. ___ I really enjoy Nik's. Really good food. I'll say this, while the service is good, they are almost just a touch too, ah how shall I say this, too aggressive. Maybe allow those dinning to enjoy themselves, relax a bit, and have a conversation. Also, it would be nice to finish the salads before the main course comes out.

Nik’s Haiku Review: Holy Chicken Parm Great for a family dinner Or drink at the bar The food here is great and it has a relaxed atmosphere. Would be great for a casual date night or dinner with family. They recently changed how you order- you go to the bar place your order and pay and then they bring you the food. The chicken and egg plant parm are excellent.

We love love Nik’s. Please don’t close it down Buzzy vibe. Has the feel of a neighborhood bar and restaurant too Good looking bar with multiple large TV screens. Solid cocktails Terrible 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 Tini Loved - must order again • Mexican Martini • . • Penne mushroom chicken pasta *** • Vodka chicken pasta - ask for a little less red sauce • Jalapeno chicken pasta - ask for fresh instead of pickled jalapenos Liked - not all that bad but not super • The bread

Wow. Just wow! Came with a group and everyone was raving on what we got. From the service to food to the atmosphere. It was superb to say the least. Best clam chowder I’ve ever had! Filet was cooked to perfection. We shared almost all the desserts in the menu and loved them all. Will definitely be back!

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 Jalapeno 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!

As for the Cherry Limeade Martini I had it was perfect after a long day of hiking and waitress was helpful by answering any questions I had.
