    calamari
    chewy b.

    After years of hearing about this place we have a chance to try it. We wanted to try a little of everything. We had the calamari. $18. It was very light crispy thin calarmari rings with bit of tomato, onion and lemon. Dusted green onions. pretty tasty. we also had the Lunch steak 6 oz on garlic slice bread with salad. fresh but unremarkable and then the pizzas Diavolo. overly sweet and very spicy. flavors unbalanced. and the Kardiakafti.. lacked beef and also unbalanced flavors. I brought it to my teen and she hated the pizzas and ahe loves spice. Both of these pizzas won YYC pizza week so i can only conclude someone in kitchen doesn't know how to make. They did not taste good. great service. I would not go out of my way to return though. The pizzaa were supposed to be the highlight of the meal but just really sucked. The ambiance was dated and a lot of photos of memories. Wish we had a better eating experience here.

    Thumbs down and for good reason

    Hype was quickly squashed We went to Nicks after not only having it recommended but seeing google had rated it so high. First off. This place is an old 60''s style family restaurant. Old time feel. But it's clean and kind of throwback fun The service was friendly and we're happy to get you settled in and comfortable This is where it's stops for the positive I could nit pick this place but I'll get to the point. They can't cook a steak. The NY Strip was 1/2" thick and was cooked well done TWICE After asking for Med Rare. The steak was such a bad cut both times full of gristle, thinly cut and wasn't a striploin. It was a chewy sirloin. The steak tasted of really dirty grill and was inedible. The seasoning wasn't good either The pasta was undercooked and stuck together in a ball which required a knife to cut it into bites The pizza is over cheesed meh. Nothing to get excited about. For 2 kids and 2 adults with no desert and tip it came to $192. Save you're money and spend it at the Keg as they are quality and consistent for that price range I wouldn't roll the dice on this place. Try somewhere else. Some nostalgia and google review hype is just plain outdated and incorrect.

    Dining room

    Great food, amazing ambiance, classic family restaurant. This place should be a Calgary landmark. An applicable 90's quote, "I'll be back" Stopped in here based on its proximity to our hotel and will definitely be going back. Nick's is a throwback for any 80's child. As soon as we walked up to the restaurant I knew it was going to be amazing. It was like the place came out of a time capsule. The red vinyl benches in the booth took me back. My wife said she knew what the menu's art would look like before she even opened it and I knew exactly what she meant. It was nostalgia. Our server and the wait staff were all friendly. It was a quiet Wednesday night, so we had a very attentive waiter that made sure everything was just right. I'm sure if it were busier we still would have had a great detail of attention paid to us. Portions here are on the larger scale. Make sure you ask before you order too much! We had a small lunch for 5 the next day based off of our leftovers. Any place that is a steak and pizza restaurant has to have good pizza and the kids loved theirs. The pizza bread was cheesy and fantastic, with more than a paper thin crust. The meat sauce to dip it in was thick and tasty, seasoned perfectly. And portion size was on the larger size. The pizza was a nice thick slice with ample toppings. No skimping here. The house salad was tasty, if not a little over dressed. I'm a little different here given recent weight loss goals, but if I had to find fault it would be that the salad dressing was a little much. Tasty for sure, but a little too much of it. But don't get me wrong, I still finished the salad! My wife shared a full rack of ribs with our daughter and the meat was top quality. A little saucier than I would normally like, but tasty. They tossed more fries than they ate, but not because of taste. Even the fries were fantastic; nice and thick, looking like homemade. The Creole Chicken was tender, nicely seasoned and spicy as advertised in all the right ways. The baked potato came still wrapped in the foil and you can have as much topping as you like with your server at the table side offering them traditional garnishes. Nick's tries to support local, using beers from the area while offering popular national brands too. Their desserts are in house or come from the area pie shop, which is a nice touch. The bill came in lower than my expectations and that's probably the portion size muddling it. Bang for your buck, this place is better than the Canadian national chain sit down pizza joint that families flock to, and that I grew up eating in. This is a special place that I look forward to going back to. It's a hidden gem. Can't wait for our next trip to Calgary.

    Lamb Chops @Nick'sSteakHouse excellent

    Hometown fave Nick's Steakhouse (est 1979) is the perfect family-style restaurant for any occasion. Always great service (thanks Tandy!) and high quality meats. Try their lamb chops, absolutely huge serving size and the best in flavour. I definitely want to try their steak and lobster combo but not for the $90 price tag when there's better in competition for that at other steakhouses. The Nutella gelato is locally sourced and absolute fire.

    Awesome!Steak is so juicy! Highly recommend taco salad! Steak is medium rare so tasty!

    Steak & Lobster

    My oldest son treated my husband & I to dinner at Nicks Steak House on the weekend . We haven't been here for several years. It was a Sunday and lots of people were enjoying dinner out . I ordered the lamb dinner , husband had a steak sandwich and our son had the steak and lobster . We had appetizer of calamari which was tender & excellent. And an order of garlic shrimp in a delicious sauce . They brought extra bread to soak up the tasty sauce . Our meals were generous and we were so stuffed , there was no room for dessert . Our waiter was very friendly and always attentive to our needs . We enjoyed our dinner out and hope to return again !

    Ribye Steak delivered was excellent!

    First time using their new delivery service and it was excellent! The steak was hot, the salad crisp and cold, the garlic toast was perfect and all trimmings were packaged well. My ribye was delicious. It was delivered quickly too. I already live Nick's Steakhouse and there extended service reflects there high quality.

    I love this place. I am never disappointed when I visit Nick's, the food is always hot and made to perfection from scratch. Staff is always friendly and provide amazing service and are always friendly. We had a classic burger on this visit which was amazing and a homemade patty. Caesar salad didn't disappoint either. The atmosphere is so classic for an old school restaurant of this style. I grew up going to restaurants like this and always loved them as it's not a chain and if you food or service is lacking you just wouldn't survive.

    Weekend brunch buffet. Lots of options. Pretty tasty too.

The restaurant is in a strip mall anchored by a Superstore and fairly new. It's great to see amenities popping up around that area. Parking was plentiful. Walking inside brought you back to the past with a diner type vibe. You line up to order and then sit down and they bring the food to you. You have option of pre-set burgers or build your own with what toppings and sauces you like. They also have combos where you can add a side and drink. My wife decided to get a single build your own cheeseburger so she could customize it. The kids ordered the Classic combo (one with onion rings and vanilla milkshake and the other with fries and Orange Fanta to share). I decided on the haddock. Food was so good. Fries were crisp and moist inside. Onion rings were crunchy. The family thoroughly enjoyed the burgers. The haddock was great but could use a bigger patty (the bun was bigger than the patty). Place is open and reminds of a diner. My son and I even watched them flip the burgers which was cool. A few tables to sit down and eat. Staff were friendly. We saw quite a few pick-up orders. We will definitely be back.

Btw I was a class clown love the name of this burger joint from entry to exit the hollistic about experience is engaging and stimulating. From the bright neon lights of the out door signage to the double entry passage, this 70's blue collar kitchy decor and mood lighting and just overall chill vibe had me telling myself I haven't been to a cooler burger joint than today! Drink selection is screaming "you will not be found wanting" they had sodas, juices, liquor, beer, mutha effing wine! Wine!!! I saw the little fridge with all the wines and I knew right then and there this place was special as Class Clowns customers came from all walks of life. Sitting there I noticed I wasn't the only solo missionary to satisfy our hunger. I also saw two tables of young collage aged friends, a small table with two pairs of couples, and two mature couples. I wasn't fortunate enough to witness anyone order a glass of wine wine with their meal. But none the less We all gathered in union under the class clown roof to fill our bellies. I ordered a lager pointed into a frosted mug. Pounded that early and just enjoyed water cuz DUI's aren't ever coo. By the time I was half way done with my beer the burger and fries were arrived and my eyes couldn't believe how beautiful it all looked together. the fries were barely able to fit in the bowl topped with this sweet and savory meaty meat sauce giving a sloppy Joe type vibe, for some reason I was expecting a Detroit style chili with some heat on it but that's okay cuz I'm in Calgary Canada and when in Calgary... the fries were the old skool crinkle with amazing crispy and snap even with the meat sauce it didn't get soggy. The fries despite not aligning with my anticipated flavor it was amazing and a must get side order when coming here! The dounke burger looked too sexy to mess with, from the toasted sesame bun, the melted gooey sliced American cheese, grilled sliced onions, shredded lettuce, and the main event the smashed burger but not paper thin was still able to have an amazing crispy edge and texture all the while maintaining juiciness. Close your eyes take a bite and one would feel transported to sunny Southern California but in reality its home is in Calgary spoiling and making these "calgarians" proud! The service was fast amazing and chill! The ladies made sure everyone was taken care of I can't wait to get back to Calgary and Class Clown burgers definitely will be one of my first stops!

    My family and I always like a good burger. When I saw a Youtube video of Lil' Empire Burger we just…read morehad to try it. The place is easy to find an near 16th avenue but parking is a challenge as there is limited 2 hour street parking. It's in a residential area so there are lots of permit parking. It's a nice little corner restaurant with lots of seating on patio and also inside. One thing that struck us is the place is super clean and we liked that the restaurant had sustainability practices in place. For example, there is no garbage - only recycling and compost. All their cups and burger boxes are all compostable. They also provided a water dispenser to fill up your water bottles or compostable cup (provided). I even saw outside they had little bowls so even your furry friends can have water. This restaurant, you order at the counter, they give you a buzzer and when food is ready you pick it up. We had 3 Double Empire burgers with cheese, 1 Empire burger with cheese, and order of fries to share, and a chocolate milk share. Also, took advantage of complimentary water and I dispensed waters for the table. Everything was really fresh and tasted great. Burgers had great flavour and didn't fall apart. The fries were nice and crispy with warm soft center. The milkshake was great and not super sweet albeit a bit small. Staff were friendly - they all said bye to us, when we left, like they appreciated us being there. Great food, inviting space, and sustainability practices all make this a 5* review.

The problem was that I thought it was only open after 5p when I don't like to eat heavy things like burgers.

First thing is that unlike at nearby Class Clown, you can get your food to go (yeah I don't get it either, how CC doesn't let you order to go), and I got the standard cheese burger (OG Smashie) and a side of regular fries, which came to $18.50. Food was ready in maybe 10 minutes and I walked it home. It was AMAZING. Fries are beautiful even though they didn't hold up well in the 15 or so minutes it took me to get home in -15, but still, delicious skinnier fries clearly made from proper potatoes and just very impressive. The burger was beautiful!!! Gorgeous smashed patties, beautifully dressed, more than I can ask for in a burger and now it's tied with iyycburg for my favourite in Calgary. It's... unctuous. It's good they're open for lunch only three days a week because I could eat this every day and that might not be the best thing for me. But it is tremendous.

Overall, I've always liked the place -- but there's one employee who consistently ruins the experience. The bigger guy working there -- you know exactly who I'm talking about -- has a terrible attitude every single time. No reason for it. This was the last straw. I came in around 9pm with my girlfriend. The place was nearly empty -- maybe three couples total. He immediately told me, "Sorry man, can't help you, we're way too busy. It's going to be an hour and a half." That made zero sense. I pointed out that the place was basically empty, and he doubled down saying they had too many online orders. That just felt like a lazy excuse to not deal with us. When his coworker looked like he was definitely about to take my order. It's frustrating because the rest of the staff has always been great, but this one person consistently treats customers poorly and doesn't seem interested in doing his job. At this point, I'm done. I won't be coming back or spending another dollar here unless something changes. A good business shouldn't let one employee drag down the entire experience like this. Since the old manager left, the place has clearly gone downhill. The only people consistently doing a great job are the ladies in the kitchen -- they're always friendly and actually make a solid burger. That said, the larger male staff member I mentioned should not be representing this business.
