    The fried-egg burger was so good that I ate half of it before I took a photo!
    Rick B.

    Way better food than expected at a sports bar! When the local sports bar failed to deliver the Mayweather fight, I turned to Nick's. For only $20 cover; they had the fight, fantastic food, abd tons of pretty waittresses. Not that I noticed the pretty girls (IJS). The food here is 100% better than found in most sports bars; ranging from loaded fries and wings, to legit steaks, and a burger with fried egg that rivalled any restaurant - anywhere! Quality food in every sense of the words. Good drink specials varied nightly, but the $4 premium shots were a staple. My double vodka Red Bulls were large, strong, and frequent. Friendly bartenders did not push, but served every request quickly. Clean restrooms, plenty of parking, booths and tables - plus ample TV screens. Sports Bars are not my fave, but I loved this one - I'll be back.

    a container of ice cream

    Had a delivery order, I ordered a hot fudge brownie and when it came the ice cream was in the same container as the brownie all melted and soggy.

    New Pool area (3 pool tables, 7 Tv's, 3 booths, 10 high top seats).

    I have so many memories in this place. Loves lost, glances stolen, long nights of drunken conversations after working an awful shift at the Applebee's just down the street while I was in community college. There is no place like Nick's. It isn't amazingly easy on the eyes. It's a big place, a bit aged. Usually, they have 3 servers covering the whole place, and a bartender. The bartop itself is pretty small. The main area though, is massive. Booths, high tops, and small tables. They show just about any sporting event, including UFC (this can be tough to catch in that area). If it is a Pay Per View Event they will likely charge a cover, but rarely over $10. If you are a regular they sometimes allow you in without paying. The menu is a true mix of bar food. When I lived over there, and was going about 3x weekly, they did a menu change and got rid of the Capn Crunch Tenders. I had never had these, but it became true anarchy among customers. I heard more than 1 waitress get cussed out over that. When I returned for the first time in years for that Dallas Playoff game in 2019, seemingly they were back on the menu. The boneless wings are really tenders, and I recall them being delicious back in my meat eating days. The fried pickles were always good, but the mozz sticks always stole the show for me. They fairly recently added a pool hall area with more booths and TVs. If you sit back here just bear in mind that your server likely has to sprint to get to you because she bas tables everywhere. However, the waitress that most recently took care of me was amazing with this. Certainly worth checking out this Rowlett institution!

    fried shrimp and fries

    1 star because I have to...I have been here countless times & my review has always at least ended on a positive note... no longer. Today ends my devotion to nothing more than a local bar with terrible service. The staff is child in age or behavior, the service is at best average if considered a regular, which by the way I was...cold beer glasses-on a good day-I scoff at that...after 5 years we are breaking up; I no longer feel the need to be loyal, this local will find a place where service is dependable. Shrimp that could have been croutons & staff that couldn't keep up with simple beer orders oh & the final straw is one burger, 40 + minutes later, several excuses & finally tabbed out- fingers crossed not doubled billed -- goodbye nicks you are NOT the only joint in town!

    We went to Nick's couple of times and it was ok. If we need something to eat (badly) the food is a bar food.. not that great just ok. The waitress took 15 mins to get my order..and 20mins later to get the food.. now I know that it is not busy.. (look at the crowd) but it was stupidify but come on now!!!

    The chicken fried steak was really good and quick friendly service atmosphere was a littloud but it is a sports bar which is the only reason I did not give a five star review

    From the back looking at the bar.

    This was my first visit and the place seemed to be quiet and not a lot of people around. We got there close to lunch hour and I figured we just ended up beating the crowd. I had the Bacon Cheeseburger which was pretty good. I would like to go back to taste the other items on the menu, but from looking at other reviews, I'm not so sure.

    Chicken tenders are huge!!! Food is hot and fresh!

    Wouldn't let service dog in and was rude about it would not go back there. Didn't even get to order a drink before being asked to leave

    Killer food for a bar! And they have the best drink specials in Rowlett. Used to go there often and every meal was delicious.

    We had a great late lunch here on a Friday afternoon. Our server was super sweet and made great…read moresuggestions on beer and food options. The build-your-own burger I made (blt, mayo, and added avocado spread) was FANTASTIC!! The fries were a hit. Sweet potato and plain were both the most amazing addition to their burgers. Loved the spicy and regular ranch! Okay now to the margarita. Strong and tasted pretty good. My husband enjoyed the beer options (purple haze and dark matter). My only beef with the harbor is the parking. I don't feel the infrastructure here is set up for this much volume of stores and customers. Of course this isn't the restaurants' fault.

    My wife and I don't eat burgers often, but when we do, we go straight to Rodeo Goat--any location,…read morereally, because they're all excellent. What makes the Rockwall spot stand out is its incredible outdoor patio, complete with swinging tables and chairs and a beautiful view of the lake. It's one of the best patios around. The burgers themselves are wonderfully creative, often featuring unexpected ingredients--like strawberry compote. On a burger? Absolutely. And it works. I can be a pretty picky eater, but at Rodeo Goat I've learned to trust the menu. Order it the way the chef intended, and you'll be glad you did. You can't go wrong with any Rodeo Goat, but the Rockwall location is especially worth the visit for the views and the outstanding burgers. You won't be disappointed.
