    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!

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

    The food is amazing and the staff is attentive. Thank you so much. We've been trying to find a…read moreplace in this area with great food and service.

    Decided to order something simple a burger when I ordered it I told them repeatedly only three…read moreingredients, onions, bacon and lettuce even verified it with both the owner and the waitress they brought out a burger with ketchup, mayo pickles, and tomatoes. In addition to those three ingredients making it in edible when I complained was kind of lucky the hamburger patty had not been contaminated but for no reason they threw away the bottom bun which was Okay,. And replaced it with a new bun which was not prepared as well and didn't have that nice but edge to it. Worse there was almost no onions. Just a bunch of lettuce. And the exact same bacon they had taken off that had been contaminated with ketchup and possibly not mayo. I was able to tell this because there were bits of ketchup on the bun which was brand new as he hadn't fully cleaned the bacon and it brought back the exact same patty which would've been OK if the patty was OK but it wasn't made it through about a third of the burger to 2/3 and after checking just the patio alone, the meat tasted a little bit off or Old meaning he was using good ingredients to hide bad meat with the ketchup pickles and all the other stuff that I had them take off, which is why it had tasted funny had to give up and put it in the cat bowl for the raccoons Christmas dinner outside hopefully the little guy will be able to eat it for the possum as the possums will eat bad meat as for the French fries they were actually very good somewhere between chips and fries but they were hollow which normally isn't bad. It's just up to personal taste. They were kind of the best thing in the whole place because their hollow they're kind of unique very tasty very good but you need a lot of them as far as if you want a substantial order of fries because a lot of what you're getting is air like when you get chips, there's a nice outer shell but nothing but air inside were normal you would find potato. Sadly the bacon was very good very high-quality prepared to perfection except for one spot that was completely raw that I had to snap off due to the risk of trichinosis. I'd always check the bacon in this place otherwise you might actually buy it into a piece of raw bacon Still attached to the perfectly cooked one. I have no idea how they managed to cook it that way sadly it was a hugely disappointing and frustrating experience in the end as even when you gave them a chance to fix it they didn't make the burger over again and they didn't even fix it properly because it felt like no matter how hard you try nobody is gonna listen to you when you order something and if you want them to take anything off don't count on it. It will probably show up anyway and trigger any allergies you may have. Sadly, withl borderline meet some places do a good job with spices and charbroiling but this place had none of that so you could really taste the meat and it did not taste fresh. It just tasted a little off. Very disappointing. The waitresses were attractive the atmosphere of the Physical place was good but the karaoke singers kinda kill the music. It's best to go there on a night and not karaoke. The place seems OK at the bar but as a restaurant, forget it.
