Great food. The beef and lamb gyro as well as the cheesesteak is amazing, you could tell it was freshly made too, and was ready in 2 minutes. Good old school vibe Definitely will be coming back here next time I'm in Dewey. 10/10 would recommend read more

Simply THE place to go for steaks in Dewey. Nick and his family have been serving up great steaks and subs for years and it shows. The gyro is great as well! They take a lot of pride in their delicious food. The place has a nice amount of seating and is kept clean. Nick does not tolerate whatsoever folks that are not his customers trying to use the premises as their lavatory so beware! read more

Everytime I come do dewy I always get a nicks sub. Can get a little busy at times but mostly you can get in and out very fast. There is seating inside but not a whole lot. I mostly talk my subs to go read more

Food: Great Philly cheesesteak this side of Philly. Soft bread. Fresh. The jumbo size was perfect size for four people. Service: I don't understand why some reviews are saying either lacks service or rude service? The young lady was patient with me. Very kind. My only suggestion: the sandwich should get cut into sections first then get wrapped. Ours got wrapped first. Which made it difficult to separate the sections. Made to order though...we ordered than within 5 min...if that...came right out. Ambiance: reminded me of walking into an original dairy queen Ambiance: read more

I'm a sucker for a good Philly Cheesesteak & I'm notorious for venturing into Philadelphia to visit all of the places that I've heard had the best Cheesesteak so I think that makes me pretty qualified on this topic. We rented a beach house for the week, in Delaware, and somehow, some way, I got it in my head that I wanted a delicious steak sandwich & began searching Yelp for the spot that had the best in town. A bunch of establishments popped up, but there was something about Nick's that caught my eye. Maybe it's because of the reviews - fairly all were good. Maybe it's bc the location isn't some brand new, shiny facility with fine dining style cheesesteaks... no, I wanted the real thing, the real experience, and after visiting 'The Real Thing' in Towson, MD and loving their cheesesteaks better than Pats, Genos, Tony Lukes and John's Roast Pork in Philly, I have come to believe that I don't have to travel that far to get my fix. A lot of customers who left reviews mentioned Nick's customer service, and while there was nothing bad about my experience, nothing wow'd me customer service wise. That's about the only bad thing I can say, bc the cheesesteak was top 5. Hell, maybe even top 3. The ribeye melted in your mouth. The portion was plentiful, and the cheese whiz - made in house - paired really well with the perfectly cooked steak. The fries were good too, but I'm telling you, this sandwich checked all the marks, and will be visited again. read more

Was on a bachelor party in Dewey last weekend and stopped by Nick's. Being from Philly, I'm very picky about cheesesteaks, but this was definitely a pretty good one. Worth trying if you're in the area. read more

I frequent Philadelphia all the time and people are so confused when say the best Philly cheesesteak isn't in Philly!! It's actually in Delaware at Nick's read more

Nick's Philadelphia Cheese Steaks - The Giant !! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

See all

This spot is a staple and centrally located in Dewey Beach. They got an assortment of sandwiches from medium to large to super large which clocks in about 2 feet long. You can't go wrong with a nice cheesesteak. The chicken nuggets although probably frozen are little bit than the basic ones served other places. Fries are OK. I had a Gyro too which was decent. They could given a little more meat but it was still tasty. The cold subs are the only ones that aren't amazing. They could use a little bit better quality call cut and slice them thinner in the sandwich. You're not getting an overstuffed Italian. Nonetheless if you want one they still do the job. Overall it's a great spot. Price, taste, quality, Service and speed. Nicks - just in time all the time - in! read more

Nick's has always offered quality subs at a reasonable price! Great steaks and gyros! The best in Dewey Beach for sure. One pet peeve is charging extra for some Tsatziki in a shot glass container while charging nothing for extra on the gyro. I know the charge is minimal but c'mon folks really? read more

Cheesesteak was perfect! Super tasty, perfectly seasoned. Portion and price was good. I'll be back! read more

These cheesesteaks are T H E B O M B! We got a Nick's Special and a Pepper Steak with fried onions as take out. Rolls were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, loaded with steak and the right amount of cheese. My partner is from the Philly region and agreed this is the best cheesesteak they've had in years. Service was friendly and there's a small parking lot too. read more

They make excellent cheesesteaks! It's so close to the beach, we just called ahead and wait time was about 15 minutes. Loved the ribeye meat that is all chopped up with grilled onions and melted cheese, with its soft bread roll. I added lettuce, tomato, and mayo and we must have ordered from here three or four times during my week long vacation. Can't believe I didn't take any pictures! They have other foods that we tried, like their fried clams, gyro sandwich, chicken tenders (they were out of chicken nuggets) and crispy fries. Their indoor dining area was closed and they have two picnic benches outside to dine. The lat time I was here years ago, Dave Grol, of Foo Fighters fame, was behind me ordering food for his family too! read more

Just passing through...so good! Worth the time it took to turn around on Coastal Highway! Will definitely recommend!!

Native philly girl and this is THEE BEST cheese steak in this Delaware beach area. I've tried Pete's and also Casapulla's(good hoagies) and Nick's is far an away the real deal. Service is friendly and VERY fast. We had our cheese steaks within 5 minutes of ordering. read more

We got Gyros and cheese fries and salads from here and to be honest it was so good and the perfect portion sized I'm full and happy. read more

Nick's Philadelphia Cheese Steaks - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

Awful experience.... Last night, my husband and I took our 2 daughters into Dewey Beach for the Family Movie night on the beach. We have 2 daughters, our oldest is Intellectually Disabled...a result of a very rare genetic disorder. We got to the beach, set up our chairs, blankets, etc when my oldest daughter says "Mom, I need to use the bathroom." I did not realize that they would eventually open the lifeguard station on Dagsworthy as a bathroom. My daughter likes to get to places early...routine and a schedule are everything for her, so when she told me she needed to use the restroom, I knew it meant heading into town to use a restroom. The first store off the beach at Dagsworthy is Nick's Philadelphia Cheese STK. My daughter and I entered a completely empty store. There was not a single paying customer in the store and this was at 7:45ish PM on Aug 12th in Dewey Beach. Everyone knows how crowded it can be in Aug in Dewey Beach. Anyways, there was not even someone at the front counter when we first walked in...so I immediately led my daughter towards the bathrooms. As we walked towards the bathroom, a man came out from the kitchen area and as we were about to enter the bathroom, he said, "the bathroom is for paying customers only." I immediately stopped walking and said, "I am so sorry...I did not bring my purse or card with me. Would you mind if my daughter just used the bathroom please?" He said, "sure, your daughter can use the bathroom." I said, "thank you very much." As we walked to the door of the bathroom...my daughter said to me, "Mom, come in with me." As an Intellectually Disabled person, my daughter knows when she needs our help...the bathroom (even at age 14) has and continues to always be one of those places. I followed her into the bathroom. Within seconds of us being in the single bathroom together (I don't even think I had a chance to lock the door yet), I heard this man screaming at the top of his lungs, "I told you your daughter could use the bathroom, not you..now get the hell out" and as he says those words, he started banging on the bathroom door loudly. At this point, I am so freaked out. My daughter looked at me and said, "Mom, let's go." I took her lead...she pulled up her pants and I opened the door. I said to this man, (who was literally barricading us into the bathroom at this point), "sir, my daughter is disabled and she asked me to help her in the bathroom." He literally said the words, "well she shouldn't be using these bathrooms then." I stood there, shocked, intimidated, scared and my only thought was...let's get the hell out of here. I walked my daughter towards the door and we left. We found a restaurant, the Starboard Claw, a few doors down. I walked in and asked the girl at the front if my daughter could use their bathroom...she said, "oh yes, of course...it is right there," pointing towards the bathrooms. We went in together, used the restroom and returned to the beach for the movie on the beach. As I sat there watching the movie, the whole interaction continued to bother me. There was a part of me who so badly wanted to walk back in his store and tell him that there was a reason his store was completely empty on a busy Aug night in Dewey and that is because he treats his customers so poorly, but I didn't. I won't stoop that low. Instead, I am using my voice and my experience to inform others with this review. If this guy does not sound like someone you would want to support, then please consider spending your money somewhere else. It/he is NOT worth it! read more

OMFG We were on the beach at Dewey and craving a cheesesteak, didn't feel like driving. Found Nicks here on Yelp. Let me preface by saying I don't eat a cheesesteak traditionally. Sooo, I ordered the Nicks special minus the marinara (add sautéed mushrooms,onions, peppers and provolone) and added lettuce, tomato, hot and sweet peppers plus ketchup and mustard. In other words, the kitchen sink and then some. This messy monster of a 12" sub was unbelievably good. Foodgasm+++. Now a nap on the beach... ahhhh read more

If you want to avoid the tourist traps and get some darn delicious food for your money, then go here, order a cheesesteak and enjoy every last crumb. They're made to order, fresh, piping hot and so very good. I didn't take a pic bc I was too busy devouring my mushroom and onion cheesesteak. And....a major bonus, the inside is spotless clean!!! read more

Holy moley, pumpkin pie- this place sells some amazing cheesesteaks. I've grown up in a family where, when I was younger, my dad would drive us to Philly for lunch for cheesesteaks and to New York for pizza. In fact, we did a day testing out of all of the cheesesteaks in Philly including Jim's, Pat's, and Geno's (there were more, but these are the top contenders). I've grown up eating Philly steaks, but I can easily say that Nick's is up and competitive with these restaurants. They may even beat a place or two (definitely Geno's, possibly Pat's). The service here was fast. We called ahead, our order took less than five minutes, and we simply walked in and out with our steaming hot food. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Starving after the beach and unfamiliar with the town, we walked into this place after reading some reviews. Normally when I'm that hungry, most anything tastes delicious- hunger does that to a person!! But the chicken cheese steak was SO bland that I thought maybe the cook forgot the cheese or any sauce or spice that's supposed to go on the bread. Nope. Just white flavorless glob of cheese. No sauce, just 'spice', which kinda/sorta tasted like oregano. I asked for "fried" onions and got tepid and limp wet onions, not crispy FRIED onions with flavor. Two stars for the fluffy fresh bread. But barely, because the sandwich really was so tasteless that the fresh bread barely made a difference. Just wow. Maybe this is how 'cheese steak' sandwiches are made in Dewey and that seems acceptable. But if this is what passes for good food here I'd rather stay hungry. read more

My father ordered my sister and I dinner from this place to go pick up. After he picked it up, he walked to the beach and my sister and I decided to sit at the picnic tables and eat before meeting back up with him. The staff was so incredibly rude to us. I went back and asked for a fork because it was not packed in our to go order. After eating, my sister went inside to wash her hands. When she came back I intended on doing the same. The employee ran from the back and told me I can't wash my hands unless I buy something else. I asked for a napkin (because AGAIN it was not in our bag) and he told me they have no napkins. Let's be real. The food wasn't bad but I will never come back here and will let my family know there are many more options on the strip deserving of our business that pack napkins and utensils in orders and don't care if customers use their restroom to wash their hands. read more

DISGUSTING. First and foremost, the staff was completely rude, unprofessional and unkept. Hygiene looked like it wasn't of importance to many, if not all, of them which made the thought of them coming into contact with food nauseating. Walking in was like trying to walk on a Slip-N-Slide. The floor was completely soaked and not a caution sign in sight. It was unbelievably humid inside which made the, already lingering, smell of mold and mildew so strong. The tables outside and inside were filthy. They were sticky, heaps of trash were scattered, crumbs were everywhere, and the staff never came from behind the counter to wipe them down. The cooks never wore gloves, they re-cooked meat that had been just sitting out with flys landing all over it, they wiped sweat from their forehead then continued to handle food. The bathroom floor was just as wet as the lobby and looked like no one had taken the responsibility to clean anything. Their means of soap was a mini bottle of dish soap. The surface of the toilet seat had abrasions all over it which had developed a black coloring to them. The chipped areas of the toilet seat really blended in with the clumps of throw up and shit scattered about. The place looked like the epitome of Hep B. read more

Nick's Philadelphia Cheese Steaks - Pizza burger sub and cheese steak. Food is fantastic. Especially the rolls. - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

This place has an awesome pizza steak sub, the sauce isn't poured on like some places do, here the chop up the steak on the grill and add the sauce while its cooking and their rolls taste fresh baked. I also appreciate that they have Birch Beer on the fountain, it's my favorite and hard to find except bottled. The staff is friendly and the prices aren't too hateful for the beach. read more

Nick's Philadelphia Cheese Steaks - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

First off talk about good "cheap eats" this is the place. My wife ordered the fish and chips so they ran out of whiting but they did have the flounder which we got instead and it was really good. 2 pieces thin cut but not too thin deep fried crispy just the way I like it with nice crispy fries. Cheaper than every other overrated restaurant in the area which all your paying for is the scenery. read more

Grabbed an afternoon chicken cheesesteak while staying across the street at Beach House Dewey. It was delicious and I literally walked in, placed my order, and it was ready with in minutes. So amazing and flavorful. Ordered extra pickles on half and they made it as good as can be expected. When in Dewey and hungry. Come here. read more

Although the food was good, the service was the absolute worse i think I have ever encountered!! I would much rather eat "ok" food and have great service than to ever give my money to this place! The old man was rude and the lady at the register was a complete ass! If you can't handle being busy and treating people with respect, you probably should shut your doors. I may just order another large Pepsi and as shes handing it to me, I will squeeze it and say..."oh I'm so sorry my drink just spilled all over" because she has no problem throwing the bags at her customers! read more

Nicks was a quick option to grab lunch and take to the beach. My sandwich was good, nothing crazy to write home about, but it filled me up. I got a Philly cheesesteak, there was only cheese on half the sandwich which was a bummer because I'm a cheese lover. Overall it was good and good service, I'd recommend for a quick bite! read more

Nick's Philadelphia Cheese Steaks - Cheesesteak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

I love Nick's. I come here multiple times every year during my 3 week vacation. I always get the same thing, jumbo cheesesteak with grilled onions and extra mayo. The bread is always fresh and soft and the fries and crispy and delicious. The fries are a side and totally worth it. It's definitely a family owned and run business. I got my last cheesesteak of the season today. See you next year Nick and Family!!! read more

As most of my friends know I'm constantly on the search for the best cheesesteak, and so far nothing has come close to Nicks. Not even Pats, or Ginos. Its actually become a game now- "is this better than Nicks? I dont think so.. moving on" My family has been coming here for years. I even made my group of friends drive up to Dewey Beach from Ocean City for a cheesesteak during Beach Week.. and they bitched until they got their food :) The sandwiches are huge, and decently priced. The order of fries is enough to share (had to dock them a star for their new fries which arent as good as the old ones) I wish I could say that I've had other things on the menu, but nope. Cheesesteak all the way. This place is fantastic. The family that runs it is super nice, you can come in and eat in your swimsuit. All around good experience. So when in Dewey Beach (or surrounding beaches) stop by Nicks. You'll be glad you did. read more

Nick's Philadelphia Cheese Steaks - Best cheesesteak ever! - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

For years we always got our annual Phili cheese steak from a place on Rehoboth Ave even though we stay in Dewey. But for the past 6 or 7 years we stopped going to Uncle Louie's because it was all bread and no meat. After 17 years of seeing this place in a tiny strip mall we frequent and not trying them out was our loss! Nick's cheese steak was awesome! Fresh bread, lots of meat and just the right amt of peppers, onions, and cheese. We got the jumbo and split it 3 ways. Perfect dinner after the beach. WE will be back! read more

Hands down the best phillycheese steak within 100 miles and the gyros are incredible .Nicks is worth driving out of your way to get an incredible meal. I highly recommend this place! read more

Every year Nick's is the place I always go to first. I love the cheesesteaks and the gyros here. It's really good late night drunk food... and the onion rings are crunchy and good at this hour. But for some reason I always order the gyro. The gyro meat is always soft and not dried out like some other places, the pita bread is always soft and fluffy, and they give you a good amount of all the other veggies and sauces that go into it. The cheesesteaks are always juicy and not dry and some other cheese steaks I've had, the meats were just way too oily and the bread would be soggy on the inside and the outside of the bread would be rock hard. Not at Nicks! it's just a good combination. Although, I would really suggest you stay away from the crabcakes... they are the worst crabcakes I've ever had and we were all drunk.. and we still couldn't eat it... read more

Five stars for the Philly cheesesteak! There is a small parking lot and we were able to find parking fairly easily. The inside is old school with plenty of seating and some outside picnic benches as well. Looks outdated, but has an old school charm Menu is straightforward and you can customize the toppings as you wish. Was some confusion between the cashier/order taker and the people cooking and our orders got messed up, but it was an excellent sandwich! Definitely one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Fries and onion rings are also good. They also do chicken and cold cut sandwiches if you're looking for non steak options. read more

Husband wanted cheesesteaks for dinner. He got a large with peppers & onions, I got just cheese & our daughter got a chicken gyro & fries. Everything was great. Steak was nice chopped up mixed with the cheese. Bread soft & crispy. No complaints. Only thing the chicken gyro could of used more tzatziki sauce, but otherwise it was great! Worth every penny!! read more
