You can't beat Nicky's. Good food, great service, super value. If you want elegant this is not it but if you like a diner atmosphere which takes great care of you go to Nicky's! read more

My parents boycotted Nicky's when we were younger after some bad meals, but I've been going back and I don't see a problem. The food isn't amazing but the price is right. They are not stingy and I love going back. I love the ice cream sundaes but I can't even finish a regular. $1 for a Kiddie ice cream is great compared to the other places in the area. They have breakfast through dinner too but I love the ice cream! read more

When choosing a place to dine out, I'd rather throw my support to the local joints and avoid the chains. That's how I ended up at Nicky's one Tuesday afternoon before I went shopping at the Wrentham Outlets. Mere minutes into the experience had me wishing that I'd chosen Ruby Tuesday's instead. It was 2:00 in the afternoon when I arrived, an awkward hour, and most of the tables were empty. Given that there were only a few other patrons and several waitresses working, I expected reasonably prompt service. I sat a full five minutes before a waitress came by to take an order for drinks. As I was waiting for my drink and food orders, I noticed that other people coming into the restaurant received a basket of bread when they were seated. We did not. My boyfriend had to ask our waitress outright for what everyone else was getting as soon as they sat down. This pattern of ignoring us (or nearly so) continued shortly after our food was delivered; our waitress zipped by our table and commented that everything looked fine instead of asking us if we needed anything. What was so pressing in a podunk restaurant in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon that she couldn't actually stop at our table? To complete the picture, the food was horrible. My boyfriend ordered a fried lobster special and was disappointed by the chewiness of it. He also noted the absence of cocktail sauce on the table, which should be a given in a place that specializes in seafood. I had the baked shrimp special, which was OK, but the portion was very small (only four shrimp came in it). The Italian zucchini that came with my meal appeared mushy and was so repulsive in its look and smell that I couldn't bring myself to try it. Ordinarily, I really like zucchini. The only thing good about Nicky's was the lemonade. I would never go back there again. read more

Nicky's is really good. The food is always good and fresh. The prices are insanely low, I think they forgot to index their menu to inflation like 20 years ago. Give it a try you'll like it for sure. One more thing. I brought all of my kids and nieces for ice cream one night.....it was like $9 for 10 ice creams, the kids cups and cones were $.90. Crazy read more

The food is simple but good , the inside is pretty updated and the waitress we had was great. Our one drawback was the vibe that you got between the wait staff. There were two younger servers and one older woman who's name I believe I overheard was paula. We witnessed several interactions between her and our waitress (which somehow I didn't catch her name. My mistake.) that were absolutely uncalled for . She waltzed around as if she owned the place always with a malicious look on her face. She bumped into our server multiple times in their station, wasn't courteous to what anyone else needed to do in that small area and was giving some major attitude to the gentleman who must have been a manager of some sort. We like to look at things like these so we know who to ask for when we come back which we will because the food was delicious. Overall a good experience ! read more

The food is ok, nothing great. steak was over cooked, vegetables were either canned or way overcooked. Positives: the prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was good for kids. read more

Service is great - long term hand picked staff who treat you like you are a guest in their kitchen (as opposed to their dining room.) Daily breakfast, lunch and dinner specials are usually very interesting. Certainly NOTHING to complain about! If you aren't happy, tell your server (nicely)and she'll fix it for you (although we've NEVER had to send anything back.) This is an unpretentious place, badly in need of aesthetic remodeling, and the right place to stop when your hungry. Not a "date night" spot - and they don't want to be one! read more

Yuck.....but that is what you get when you have high school & college kids in kitchen window. Save your money....McDonalds would have been a better stop. read more

They have the best onion rings hands down in the world. They are light and fluffy and amazing. They also have wing dings my favorite. The burger is great and the seafood is always great. Whenever I am in the area I stop by. Everyone is always so nice and they offer great service. The milkshakes are great too. I cannot say enough for this local business. read more

We eat here almost once a week lately! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner the service is great, food is delicious and prices are sometimes shockingly low ($4 for a burger and fries?!). I tell all my family and friends they need to try this place.....their fried clams are a favorite! read more

Checked this place out today for lunch. I ordered clam plate and my husband ordered scallop/clam plate. Only the fries were acceptable. The whole clams were terrible. I had to spit out one rubbery clam into my paper napkin as there was no way it could be chewed. My husband agreed about the clams and added scallops weren't any better. The rolls with butter were bad also. How could any restaurant serve stale cold rolls? What a disappointment. I cannot imagine how anybody could tolerate eating here. What a waste of money. I was so tempted to just pay the check and leave my plate of food almost full. I tried so hard to give this place a chance. How could they honestly serve food so terrible? I am rating the food at this place one star as I cannot choose anything less. We won't be going back again. read more

This is an older place that tries to do it all with stools and counter, ice cream stand and regular seating. Been there for breakfast. Great service from friendly staff. Fairly inexpensive with just average food. It's tough to screw up breakfast. Nothing is going to blow you away. I've had lunch specials a few times. Decent portions but fairly bland. Today I went in for some takeout sodas and witnessed something that accounts for the low score. I saw what looked like the dishwasher come from kitchen to refill his soda. Coughed several times into his hand then proceeded into kitchen, picked up bread and made a guests sandwich. No hand washing. One draw back of an open kitchen.... It may have been an isolated incident but makes me question ever eating there again. read more

i just watched a waitress pick some fries off of a plate and eat them. place isn't too dirty but food has also been sitting in the same spot for 3/4 minutes without anyone bringing it to a table. fries were cold, burger was frozen- had no juice to it. was ok. read more

Stopped in to visit since I am moving not too far down the road. Place is always packed and had to see for myself what the place was all about. It sits across from Lake Pearl on the Wrentham/Norfolk lines. They serve Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and it is a pretty welcoming place, with a very nice staff that are all quick on their feet. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but it is pretty large inside and has room for lots of people, nothing fancy but seems is very family friendly! Menu for breakfast was a large array of egg dishes, omelettes and pancakes and waffles. Coffee was great and blueberry pancakes were just right. Plus the prices are decent and we will definitely be back for ice cream and lunch since the menu looked delicious! read more

Excellent breakfast. Prices were reasonable and the service was attentive. The dining room was clean and quiet. I've driven by this place many times and now regret not trying it out sooner. read more

Wish you could give this a zero ....... food and service was way below average, no personality from waitstaff. just keep driving if you're in the Wrentham area. read more

They have a great burger and the onion rings were awesome. I think the onion rings were hand battered, yum! Fast service and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend as a great lunch or breakfast spot. read more

Meh. Dirty old diner that needs serious refurbishment. I've lived down the street for the last 11 years and I almost never go unless it's a last resort. The food tastes like it came out of a can or a bag, nothing is fresh made, the only reason why it's still in business is for pure nostalgic purposes. The rolls were disgusting, the food is way too expensive, and the staff was mediocre. Needs new management and a breath of fresh air. I don't even want to know what the back looks like considering their dining area is filthy. The end. read more

I usually come here for the seafood. It never disappoints. Always tastes fresh, never greasy. The portion sizes are generous for the price. Specials are updated daily for both lunch and dinner. If you have room for dessert, the ice cream is delicious and the sizes are meant for a giant. Only down side would be no free refills on the drinks. They do however sell beer and wine which is a plus. read more

We went to this restaurant on Sunday 1/31/2016 we were totally ignored and treated like we were not there. We have been regulars on Sundays but this time we not even served for well over 15 minutes so we walked out, not sure why. Hope it wasn't because we were two men and perceived as gay. Me and my partner felt totally discriminated, I hope this is not the case in this say and age but we will never go there agian read more

Another great takeout dinner tonight...last week baked stuffed shrimp, tonight Roast Beef for me, meatloaf tonight , roast beef last week for my mom..cooked to perfection, delicious, good value, friendly people...been going here for years, love it and psyched to find out doordash delivers for them yahoo...although drive from Medfield not a long one....planning next week's meal... read more

Classic food. It was always a special place to go with my grandfather as a child and still never disappoints. Food is great, simple and done well. And who can go wrong with some awesome ice cream after a delicious meal. Staff is always friendly and ready to please. read more

Great food, great service and the prices can't be beat. I love the Chicken Parm dinner and when they have the turkey dinner special, it tastes like home cooked. The hot fudge sundaes are very good. The hot fudge sauce tastes homemade. They always have a chalkboard full of specials read more

Used to go to this restaurant a lot. But lately the service leaves a bad taste. Early morning when they open the waitress would rather have stayed home then wait on a customer with a to go order. Then this evening arrived just to get ice cream 10 minutes before they closed and was told they were closed. read more

Hadn't been here in a bit. Was looking forward to some good seafood for our late lunch. The hostess was pleasant and amiable while seating us right away indicating that Karen would be right over to to take our orders. It was good that she told us our server's name because Karen didn't introduce herself and only 'greeted' us with a 'what can I get you?' Iced teas came unsweetened (a plus) with lemon without having to request it. We both ordered the scallops (mine with the haddock combo). About a minute into our wait, my wife noted a fly perched on the top of my booth back. No big deal as long as it was flying solo and didn't target my meal when it arrived. No such luck. S/he had a couple of siblings or cousins in tow. Distracting and annoying to the point where we ended up asking for our orders in carry out containers. Tried to get a couple of ice creams from the counter on the way out, but even though 3 workers acknowledged me standing there a few minutes, no one came over to help me. Bummer. The food was still pretty good, but don't want to have to bring mosquito netting in there to enjoy it. read more

Usually pop in on Sunday's with the guys, around 10:30, after playing a couple hours of basketball. Food is always plentiful, extremely tasty and quickly prepared. Eggs are always cooked perfectly and fairly large. That is big for me as there is more to soak up with my toast! Waitresses are usually great, down to earth and join in our conversation to keep things lively....except 1...she is very tough, unsociable and seems like she doesn't ever want to be there for some reason despite being there for years, but no names. The wait can be tough too, but I guess that great for business, right. Our regular stop on Sundays! read more

Have been coming here for 5 years and never had a bad meal. You can't beat their breakfasts or their prices. Good, efficient service, too! Dinner is the usual diner type comfort food, but everything is good, especially the clams. It's also the place for ice crème and milk shakes! read more

Best breakfast around! Been coming here for years. Never had a bad meal...EVER. I have to laugh at the bad reviews.....we're you people at the same place? Or are you just so picky that you are insane? I have also had many items from the lunch menu.... DELICIOUS!!!! read more

Clean is the very last word I would use!! After i saw a worker pick up a bin on the floor and put it on top of a tray with food in it, uncovered, I walked away. I should have called and had them shut down. I live close and wish it were good. Or clean. But it's not . read more

This is the BEST place for breakfast. My best friend and I meet here once a month because it is half way for both of us. We can each have coffee and breakfast and the entire bill is $11. I took my husband and son out to another restaurant and it was $30!!!!!! Great food, great prices. read more

While out driving my husband and I stopped at Nicky's for lunch. My first impression was, not a very clean place to eat. Bathroom sink had a crack in it and mildew mold all around it. The floor had black dirt all around the edges. However, the toilet was clean. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan dinner, and for the most part it wasn't bad. However, I ordered broiled sea scallops, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The mashed potatoes tasted like powdered potatoes, the green beans were soggy over cooked canned green beans, and the scallops must have been frozen, they had no flavor what so ever and they were over cooked and rubbery. The waitress was horrible, she was more concerned about her granddaughter that was sitting eating at a table nearby with her mother. We kept having to ask for our drinks we had already ordered, then again for a straw to drink it with. She seemed totally disinterested about serving us. Mind you she wasn't rude or anything like that, she just couldn't be bothered. Over all not a good experience. Will never go there again! read more

Went to Nicky's for the first time.. Definitely will not be going back!! Had breakfast and food was ok.. Place is small and very busy. I didn't mind the wait for a table or for the food. My issue is with the waitstaff and hostess!! They were not friendly at all!! They looked like we were bothering them when we asked for something!! read more

I went shopping to the outlets and decided to look around for a place to hace dinner, when we found Nicky's. We weren't sure about it, but we gave it a try. GREAT service. We had garlic bread for appetizer and it was really good. My husband and I ordered NY sirloin steak with corn and pilaf rice; it also came with a soup. The soup was delicious; the steak and rest of the food too; the portions were really good and the price is excellent. We paid $12.95 for the plate and it was worth it. For dessert I had lime pie which was delicious and my huband had an apple pie a la mode...OH MY GOD THAT WAS GREAT!!! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they don't have diaper stations and changing my 10 month old diapers was a challenge. read more

It's like going to the Cape! Great seafood!! Very pleasant staff- it was great!! Already planning my next trip over there- we had a side of meatballs so that's on the list to try!!! read more

My daughter And son-in-law bought a house in Franklin about a year ago. We pass Nicky's on our way there all the time. We have wanted to try it, so last night we did. I got the fried Lobster plate,which tasted fresh,but not too much lobster. My husband got scallops/shrimp. He said the fish tasted fresh, but the crumb topping was tastless. My daughter got fish and chips and thought the haddock was fishy tasting and her chowder was watery. my son-in-law got grilled chicken on spagetti/sauce and just said "eh". The food wasn't bad,but nothing that would bring us back...... read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. I ordered the broiled haddock with mashed potatoes and green beans, and could barely touch my plate. The haddock tasted as though it was very recently defrosted. The green beans were overcooked and looked brown (not green). The mashed potatoes were simply inedible. By the time the waitress came back to collect our plates my plate was still so full that she assumed that I wanted to wrap it up to go, but to be honest I wouldn't even take it to feed a dog. However, they have very good mozzarella sticks and a decent Tuna salad. My two stars mainly come from the waitress who was incredibly nice and sweet. I would not come back here. read more

We had the worst , most Humiliating dining experience there this evening. We ordered prime rib special, which came to our table basically raw. We sent it back, and received in return a piece of steamed shoe leather that we could not even begin to eat. When we complained, we were told by the owner that there would be no reduction in check charge, no offer of dessert or compensation, not even an apology, in fact he said to us...no one else tonight has complained if you don't like it don't come back! Never have we experienced such rudeness and poor customer service. You don't treat your customers that way! Out first time there, and definitely our last. read more

I'm surprised to read so many other bad reviews. Went with a friend, I got their scrambler (3 eggs scrambled with homfries, peppers and onions and cheese). It was good, nothing mind blowing but tasty and only 7 bucks. My friend ordered 2 eggs over medium with homefries and bacon. she also got a blueberry pancake. She enjoyed hers as well. We had no problem with the service, they were prompt and friendly. And the restaurant was clean, unlike some others reviewers experience. It's a good, decent breakfast for a good price, we would come back. read more

We have been going to Nicky's for Sunday breakfast for years now, even though there are several other places closer to us. Don't know how they make the eggs taste so good. Good homefries, too. Very consistent quality every week. Friendly and fast service, they come around at least 3 times to ask if you want more coffee. Crayons for the kids always on the table. And: best prices anywhere. read more

I eat at Nicky's a few times a month. Have been for years, it's a nice local very predictable meal. I suggest the Toms House Salad.
