    Cheeseburger

    Service is somewhat slow, but they always have helpers who will get your drinks and drop off your food. The food comes out relatively quickly and it's hot. It's a family diner and that's what you get, good family food, smiling friendly waitresses and irs not super loud, you can converse freely without yelling.

    Good scallops, cole slaw needed a kick

    Was in the area and wanted scallops at Red Wing but they were closed on Saturday afternoon while website said opens at 4pm... wtf Saw Nicky's and cooked to try . Ordered fried scallops dinner. Came with onion rings, fries, cole slaw Scallops were excellent, fresh and abundant Onion rings I needed a few more and less fries Cole Dias needed a better creamier with some pepper or spice as taste as bland The young girls serving all friendly hospitality oriented. Nice restaurant and the three seafood specials all sounded good, baked haddock, seafood New-burg, baked scallops ...

    Chicken parm and a turkey dinner

    Nicky's is remnant of the 1970s. The decor, ambience, menus, absolutely everything is outdated by decades. That's just the beginning... Without question, chef Mike is the head chef at Nicky's. And I don't mean chef Mike by name, I mean chef microwave. Nearly everything is prepackaged or pre-canned. Absolutely nothing is made fresh to order. As clearly visible in the pictures, the beans are canned, the tomato sauce is canned, the gravy is canned, the raviolis are premade the cranberry sauce canned. The only thing that perhaps touched a "chefs" hand is the mozzarella when they either applied a blow torch or placed the food under a salamander to provide the browning to the mozzarella cheese. How this could leave the kitchen, with a culinary trained head, chefs approval is beyond me. Clearly there is not somebody versed in the culinary arts that is allowing this to leave their kitchen without the owners consent. If you are too lazy to warm up some food on your own, do your own dishes, then absolutely, Nicky's the place for you. The food is equivalent to a Swanson's TV dinner nothing more nothing less. No complaints about the service and the pricing is on par with what you would expect. Looking for a cheap, tasteless, mix of prepared, canned foods, then Nicky's place for you!

    Nicky's has been open for over 50 years. They are obviously doing something right. Nicky's is a family restaurant that draws a steady crowd. They're known for their fried seafood and ice cream but have many other offerings, including breakfast. This is typical to a lot of places we grew up with having an early closing time. My friend and I were in the area and we were both craving seafood. Our waitress was very attentive. My friend started with a Shirley Temple and I had a Raspberry Lime Rickey! Delicious, brings me back to my childhood. We both got a bowl of Clam Chowder. The chowda was filled with clams and potatoes. We both thought it had a nice flavor but was a little bland. Salt completely fixed that. They might keep the sodium low for their customers. I had one of the specials, it was a Baked Seafood Trio. This was baked scallops, shrimp and haddock in their basic stuffing. The scallops were huge and cooked perfect. The haddock itself was cooked perfect, the stuffing in the fish had very uneven temperatures. Shrimp were cooked nice, but extremely small. The Mashed Potatoes and the Carrots were cooked right. Overall I did enjoy the dish. For the price, the juice was worth the squeeze. If you are in the area it is definitely worth stopping at.

    Pumpkin Eggnog Texas French Toast with some bacon and a sausage

    The food is delicious and the staff are great. The breakfast menu often includes a new dish. I just tried the Pumpkin Eggnog Texas French Toast, oh my gosh amazing!

    Fried clam strips with onion rings and house cut fries homemade coleslaw

    My first time visit was amazing. Our food was served hot and delicious. The fried clams were served perfectly and the onion rings are the best I've had in a while. The tartar sauce is absolutely outstanding. Service was friendly, very much a family and welcoming atmosphere. I did not have a chance to taste the ice cream, but they had many various flavors to pick from.

    Look at that plate
    Dan U.

    I love a LOCAL IWNED family business that stays current and still makes amazing food. I have had the ice cream here and breakfast here and so much food with decent portions every time. Today it's wicked hot out and I wanted big belly clams and that is exactly what Nicky's sells. The owner welcomes ya when you come in and shows you the new COVID set up and I am impressed. High back boards and removed tables and it looks like perfection for healthy eating. I sat in my booth scanned my menu and I already knew I wanted clams& lime Ricky. Paula who has been here for years big smiles asked how I was doing and made me feel at home. The plate was covered in big belly clams ! Crispy fries and ginormous onion rings. I had to hold my iPhone in both hands so I didn't chow on my lunch. So hot so flavorful and sooooo gone I love this place and reasonable prices too.

    Wanted to have just some whole clams and was heading to another restaurant on Route One in Foxboro, when I remembered Nicky's. Price was one half of what the other restaurant wanted. Absolutely delicious.....couldn't get better at a seaside place. Got take out...speedy service and very friendly service. 20 bucks for this!!!

I had the grilled octopus which was delicious and tender with a Mediterranean flair. I took a side of garlic broccoli which could have been cooked just a little bit more but was delicious.

Of course we had to have a traditional old fashioned smoked which was quite a treat. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive.

I have Celiac Disease so finding a place that is competent regarding allergies is difficult. I felt comfortable in the amount of questions they asked regarding cross contamination and how my food can be prepared. They were kind and knowledgeable about their products, including their coffee syrups. Inside the cafe there's a pick up area for mobile orders as well as a good amount of seating! It's such a cute cafe to sit and chat with friends or just grab a quick drink. I even saw some people working on their laptops. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a gluten free roll and an Irish crème latte. Both were so so good. I would definitely return for another drink and meal! The only thing I would mention is that the parking is a bit tricky. It's all street parking and the recent pile ups of snow doesn't make it any easier to access a parking spot.

I ordered "The American" breakfast wrap, also offered in a bowl and I almost wish I got the bowl. It was by no means a bad wrap but I'm picky with my wraps so I think this was a wheat wrap which made it a little more grainy. They packed it full with egg and sausage so that was great. However, I do wish there was more scram sauce to taste because that is what made it different from the others. I also ordered the Iced cinnamon roll coffee and that was amazing! Definitely recommend.
