    Cheeseburger
    Bridget L.

    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
    Jay M.

    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 The decor, ambience, menus, absolutely everything is outdated by decades.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.

    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

    I came here as part of the RI FOOD FLIGHTS #bestscoopshopri event. Another super hot day meant ice…read morecream was needed, so I went to this RI icon. They've been churning out ice cream (pun intended) for almost 50 years. Today was my first time going inside the shop. In past times, I had ordered at the window. The inside is small but packs in a lot! Candy and other treats line the walls, a beautiful display of fudge and hand dipped chocolate goodies right in front of you. The young ladies at the counter were very nice, and accommodated my request for their favorite. For this shop, I was told the cookie butter flavor was everyone's current #1. I also got some apple flavored crocodile gummies and I was on my way. The cookie butter surprised me. I expected it to be very sweet, but instead the ice cream had some lovely deep caramel notes from the cookie butter and the big chunks of speculoos cookies were soft and easy to eat without being overwhelmed by sugar. Once again another great trip to the Ice Cream Machine and a reminder to not wait so long before I visit again.

    This casual ice cream spot has the creamiest, smoothest, and most delicious sweet treat offerings…read moreat really affordable prices too! Essentially, there are about four windows with servers taking orders and scooping out treats. After selecting a line, deciding on flavors and the quantity of scoops, you pay, and quickly receive your order. I got a seasonal ice cream flavor of peach in a kiddie for a little over $5 and my partner got black raspberry Oreo ice cream in a small for a little over $6. We were so happy with our choices! There are many picnic tables and a parking lot. This place can get busy and for good reason!

Said nothing walked away came back with the whipped cream and a cherry. She handed it to me with a rude look on her face and said nothing. The whipped cream was the least amount she could put on without it being so blatantly obvious she was nasty. I threw the cherry out. I will never come back to this place again.

The phone number list 877 984-2824 gets you to The Hatch Group which has nothing to do with the ice cream shop. I'm guessing that was the previous owner. Why they don't remove their phone number from the ice cream store is a mystery. I'm guessing an oversight. I've been on a mission this summer to sample chocolate frappes at as many places as I can. The reason I rate the frappe here 10/10 is good price, thick chocolatey flavor, & served with a large diameter straw. No way you're inhaling this using the usual size straw. Since you may think they are permanently closed, here are their hours.
