MEDIOCRE food, and a really casual place; I thought it was a little dressier, and felt a little overdressed, but it was our anniversary dinner, so wanted to make it a special night. Started off with the complementary bread. The bread was the best part of the dining experience. It's super soft, tad bit sweet and really tasty! Hot/ fresh and amazing! Hubby and I BOTH got ribeye steaks (cooked as requested) which included 2 side options. We each did a caesar salad and mashed potatoes. The salad wasn't fresh. Had brown/ red discoloration. The mashed potatoes weren't even warm & had to send back to be reheated. Gorgonzola cream sauce got on the side, it was more a crumble! The sautéed onions I had added (at a fee) were undercooked and cold. They were taken off the bill. The waiter was good, kept his eye on us and was attentive. The only disappointment was they didn't recognize our momentous occasion. However, we purchased a Crème Brûlée dessert "to go" & it was good. Prices seemed fair, but quality and experience was below par. read more

Niko's Steakhouse - Margarita grilled chicken - Steakhouses Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Food is delicious as always, the waitress was amazing at catching cues quickly to make the experience wonderful as always, and background noise was not high so we had fun and enjoyed conversation. Can never go wrong with a tomahawk! Giving an average review bc steak first came out raw, which they took care of and had an unwonted visitor at the table that disappeared and management was informed and very helpful. Will of course come back when we roll thru next :) read more

Niko's Steakhouse - Tomahawk ribeye, fries, and a spud - Steakhouses Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I have dined at Niko's for many a business lunch and dinner. I can safely recommend anyone stop by for some good food and great service. All entrees are well prepared and substantially portioned. They have quality drinks and appetizers as well. Every experience I have had here has been very good. The serve Coke products here and there's plenty of parking in the parking lot and surrounding stores. Stop by if you're in town. read more

The only reason why I'm giving stars is because the hostess and the waitstaff were very kind. Shout out to Lilith and David for taking GREAT care of my family and me. The ambience was really chill and quiet...there was barely any people there, but now I see why. The food wasn't the best. Most of our meals were either cold or salty including the Caesar salad, the rice pilaf, and the Mac and Cheese. Below are the individual ratings per item: *Bread: 5/5 *Chicken Avocado Salad: 4/5 *Pork Chop: 5/5 *Chicken Acapulco: 2/5 - very salty *Margarita Grilled Chicken: 4/5 *Steak Burger: 4.5/5 *Mesquite Grilled Shrimp: 2/5 - overcooked *House Salad: 5/5 *Caesar Salad: 0/5 - drenched in salty dressing and cheese *Mashed Potatoes w/ Brown Gravy: 2/5 *Corn: 5/5 *Fries: 4/5 *Mac N' Cheese: 0/5 - it was very salty and watery *Rice Pilaf: 0/5 read more

Many moons ago this restaurant was good. I had not been in here in years. Dont. Minimal staff, minimal clients that I saw in a busy week night. Food was terrible. Steak had gristle and cooked hard as a rock--I asked for medium. Bland sides and terrible mash gravy. Try another steakhouse. read more

Stopped in after a recommendation from a friend. Compared to other steakhouses in town, you get a good value for what you pay. I didn't not feel like I over paid for what was purchased. This spot contains plenty of seating with several dining areas. Great happy hour specials as well. Service was a tad slower than what I'm used to but not too bad. read more

it was OK. appetizers were queso and fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were wet inside and when you bit in to them, liquid went everywhere. Our salads arrrived about 3 minutes before our main courses. we didn't finish our salads cause we didn't want the main courses to get cold. But my fried shrimp was not warm and was very dry and tasteless. Others made similar complaints about their food too. server was nice but noticed she apologizing to other tables for getting orders mixed up. read more

Food is great, service is average at best. Be prepared to wait a long... long time for your food. My experience, two appetizers came out at different times, followed by salads arriving at the same time as the entree. Steak was cooked as requested, but it was served on a plate of oil. Despite the strange service and timings, the food tasted high quality. Good enough to overlook the other issues. The Yacht Rock on the stereo was an absolute plus. read more

The food is great and the atmosphere is relaxing. Service is also great and they are prompt.

Love love love this place! Amazing prices and great food. I come here most often for the chicken dishes, even after they raised the prices it's still a great deal for some really quality food. They have one of the best Caesar salads. Service is always great never had a bad experience. The ambiance is also nice it's not super loud, and the lighting is low, perfect place to eat and talk with a group. The steak is good too! read more

Visited Niko's twice and I had an amazing experience both times! The service is awesome - our server was very attentive and quick with any needs we had. The food was flavorful, and the price for the quantity of food you get is insane! Highly recommend their Spinach & Artichoke dip appetizer and their New York Strip. We finished the night with their Molten Chocolate Lava Cake, and the size of this dessert is easily something that can be shared with 3-4 people! Great atmosphere to hang out and grab a couple of drinks. When I am back in Corpus, I will definitely come to eat here again! read more

I ordered the potato soup, but it was spoiled. I called to inform the manager, and after being placed on hold for over 25 minutes, I was told the manager was too busy to take the call. The staff showed no concern about the fact that they were serving spoiled food. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about food safety and customer care. read more

My party and I waited about 5-10 minutes to be seated. Wait staff are nice and the restaurant is clean. I ordered the lunch menu chicken with mushrooms that came with rice pilaf. It was soooo salty. Even my side caesar salad was extremely salty. The only thing I had that wasn't salty was my sweet potato mash. Maybe if I had ordered something else from the menu, say a steak, I would have been better off... read more

Very dim inside this restaurant. If I have to pull my phone out to turn the flashlight on to see your menu, it's a bit too dark. Ordered prime rib...asked for medium rare and was brought out medium well. It was ok until I tasted the salty rice. That's when the rating took a turn down to 2 stars. Staff wasn't able to make the situation better. The restaurant seems to be pretty busy most days, but maybe I came on a bad day. I'll try again at some point. read more

We had a big party of 13 and was told wait time 30 to 45 minutes. We waited an hour and still nothing. Someone from our party talked to a hostess and then a manager who was rude and told her that the wait was an hour to an hour and a half. We were not told that. There was also a table available to fit our party and we had to point that out and then was told no server available. We finally got our table. My steak and my boyfriend's steak were dry and so was my grandmothers. We had cake because we were there for a birthday and our server didn't offer us plates or forks. For the price they charge and the 20 percent gratuity added to our bill, I would get better service and steak somewhere else. Very disappointed. Won't be going back. read more

First good food, terrible service, ignored by wait staff, Kipp GM came to address our concerns but just made excuses and said we didn't have to come back, and brought us bathroom paper towels instead of Dinner napkins⁉⁉ so Embarrassing to me & my first time, ordered desert to sweeten the HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, BUT TOO LATE⁉ steak lovers, go to a n Establishment that provides good service for your hard earned money ⁉⁉⁉ read more

Thought I would give them another chance. Quickly regretted it. Arrived to the restaurant and was quickly seated, but once I got there, I sat there for a long time while staff stood in the kitchen chatting. Never came to my table although next to me constantly had somebody coming back-and-forth to them. Got up, walked out I will spend my money somewhere else. read more

It was all the above, food, service, and ambience. The whole place smelt really funky, like old smoke. We order steak and shrimp with mac and cheese, and corn. The shrimp was good but a bit too sweet. The steak on the other hand, was horrible. I ordered medium well and this is was i was served (picture below). It was so unappetizing to look at much less taste. The mac and cheese was a joke. It was old and tasted fake. And the corn tasted like cheese! I needed up paying 50$ for a 23$ plate, drinks are also 3.49, and mozz sticks are 7.99. So, for these prices I expected better. The waiters were! also very rude and unhelpful. I also kept getting weird stares from all the male managers. Just creepy vibes!! Save your money and go somewhere else!! read more

Menu states the salmon is Alaskan. When our server asked the owner, Niko, the answer was no it's actually Atlantic. Huge deal breaker. We used to frequent Nikos and their other restaurant, Ol' Steak House, just for the "Alaskan" salmon. Too bad their menu doesn't reflect what they are truly serving. Felt bad for our server. Pretty sure he was embarrassed. We live here and go out 6-7 x per week. Won't be back to either place. read more

Service was excellent and the steaks were perfect I don't really have 85 words to add. You should try it yourself read more

Service was subpar and no explanation of the menu or what's popular etc. Food was horrendous. Coconut shrimp were raw and was served with an overly sweet coconut sauce. Ribs were ice cold and tougher than an old rubber boot. Mojito was just sugar, mint and lime they must've forgotten the Bacardi. Save your money !!! read more

Niko's Steakhouse - Steak and mashed potatoes - Steakhouses Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

My husband and I opted for the bar as there was a wait for a table at 6:45 on a Saturday night, great sign! The bar service was quick with Angela, she was friendly and made great cocktails. My husband enjoyed a HH gold margarita and enjoyed the taste so he had 2, I liked the Tito's martini with HAND stuffed bleu cheese olives!!! Loved that :). The cocktail prices were incredible. We ordered a happy hour appetizer for 5.99 I believe, the fried mushrooms aren't hand breaded so they carry a lot of water from being frozen, but not terrible- what I would expect for 5.99. I'll try the hot lobster dip next time. I had a 6 oz sirloin and quail, both fantastic and you could taste the mesquite grill that was used to prepare the food. The Caesar salad dressing is delicious definitely house made and so was the ranch on my hubs garden salad. My hubby had the Florentine chicken and really enjoyed it. The chili is also a must have. We will be back on Wednesday for the martini special and hopefully Angela will be working as well. read more

The ambience was spot on, the food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Our first time dining at Niko's but it definitely will not be our last. Glad to have another nice restaurant in Corpus to share with our out of town family and friends. ~Drs. Greg & Rita Sawyer read more

Outside was nice and the interior has a decent atmosphere. The young lady at the entrance was a bit abrasive and gave the vibe that they are not working by choice. After a short wait, got seated but the service was nonexistent. Finally Samatha decided to take our order. Which is great, because dehydration was overcoming me. On the front of the menu, they list best of with a list of supposed accomplishments. However, for a steak house, you are really limited in how you can get the steak cook. Why can't they do a derivative of medium, like medium well or medium rare? My theory is the grill has a fixed setting and the robots are programmed to turn the steak at specific times. Apparently the artistry of cooking is not happening in the kitchen of Niko's. Obviously, I chose chicken rather than chance how my steak would be cooked. The flow of food was off. Waited forever then the salad & bread came. Hint: you have to ask for a bread plate. That seems odd to me. The salad was dry and asking multiple times for additional dressing was not successful. I was successful in getting charged seventy nine cents for two ounces of dressing that I couldn't get at my table. Before I could choke down my salad, the main course came. Slightly later the side came. The chicken was flavorful, the rice wasn't. The mashed potatoes may have been better but they were dry. I figured I was also being rationed on gravy. Plus who wants to pay probably two dollars an ounce for additional gravy? Tried dessert and that was my mistake. It was another ridiculously long wait. To sum things up, you don't get a choice in how your steak is cooked, the food is hit and miss and you need a lot of patience to get service and to be charged for extra dressing you will never receive. I definitely will never be back. I expect service and taste for these prices. read more

Ambiance was good. The food was excellent today! We do eat here often and sometimes it is a hit or miss depending on how busy they are. We started with the cheese sticks and cordon bleu poppers as appetizers, followed by the Hawaiian chicken and ribeye steak. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. Our waitress was attentive, polite, and made sure we were well taken care of. However, the experience started on a sour note due to the rude and unwelcoming attitude of the hostesses. If you can overlook that initial impression, you're in for an enjoyable dining experience. read more

The bartender that i had was more interested in taking to the people that work here than paying attention to the full bar!! I waited 20 minutes for a drink! He didnt even say his name when the nice lady during lunch left! I will be back because of her but if the guy with the kinda long hair is working I will leave!! This is ridiculous i am here to eat and spend money but instead I had one drink and decided to leave!! If he is your bartender might as well get a table or leave!!! read more

Someone I know has been talking this place up for years. After years of skirting around going, we finally went and I could tell he was disappointed in how things turned out. We provided a lot of leeway because it seemed there was some kind of emergency happening in the building. I will start by saying that the reason this is a two-star review at all is the service was at the very least responsive to our concerns. They wound up removing the appetizer and alfredo mentioned here from our bill without us requesting that they do so. We got one hot-dog-bun sized bread for a table of six people, well after appetizers had hit the table - more never made it to us. We had two side orders go missing. The crab-avocado stack included overripe, yeasty avocado and under-ripe tough mango. The queso arrived cold and grainy. My baked potato could not melt butter. No one at the table finished anything aside from one person who finished a dessert. A chicken alfredo went nearly untouched by someone who was looking forward to it. Baked potato soup was noted by three folks at the table to have a "funny taste." I have had many steaks cooked in a variety of ways that provided a smoked flavor. This steak had the distinct taste of a steak that uses liquid smoke or other food-additive smoke flavoring - this was not present on the steak of another person at the table that ordered a "black and blue." The person mentioned at the beginning of this review tried it and remarked that it was odd and not what he'd had before. This means that the steak itself cannot stand alone with regard to taste, it relies on mild but coating Cajun seasoning. Unfortunate because I expected the steak to be great for the misses with everything else. What was good? The Caesar salad that was one of my sides had a nice amount of flavor. I would have liked some pepper for it but none was available. The waitress was friendly when she arrived to the table and working on a larger section of the room, so I think she was dealing with what she could. I don't know if things here have changed over time or if it was just an off night. read more

Also perturbed that neither of 2 male employees at front kiosk helped me open the doors to exit! Am on crutches! Thankfully another customer helped me thru both doors! read more

I don't know where to start! The food was delicious. Nothing disappointed! Our waitress was too notch. Very helped and accommodating. We started our the with Cordon Bleu poppers, and the Fried Mushrooms. Both were a meal on its own! She recommended the country gravy to dip with the mushrooms, and it was 10/10. The poppers were yummy our favorite. You get this nice cheesy surprise with bits of ham when you bite into it. It didn't even need any dipping sauce, but it was nice to have the ranch just in case. My husband got the Black and Blue Ribeye, it was beautifully seasoned and cooked to his liking! He got the Mac & cheese as his side. The noodles were a little over cooked, but still yummy. I got the Prime Rib with a baked potato. Everything was absolutely delightful! The meat just melts in your mouth, and the baked potato came right off the skin when I was scrap the insides. To end our meal, we got the creme brûlée! I'm a little biased when it comes to this because it's hard to impress me with this dessert, but I would honestly come here just for this! It wasn't too sweet, the custard was creamy and fluffy, and the caramelized sugar was perfect! To come to our surprise we didn't spend too much either. I feel like places like Outback, Texas Roadhouse, and Saltgrass are much too pricey for what they serve. On top of that they're chain steakhouses! Niko's is now going to be our go to steakhouse! read more

I've always heard this was a great place and it is not. We sat in a booth near the bar and the sour smell was overpowering. I ordered a 12 oz ribeye and they brought out a steakumm. It was paper thin and obviously way overdone. I asked the waitress about it and she said it was what I ordered. The manager came over and said the same but offered a replacement. Was better but not worth the price or the hour drive. read more

The food was good but our server was extremely rude to us our entire dining experience. We had to consistently ask for water refills, our order wasn't correct when delivered to the table but she made it seem inconvenient to her to fix it, anything we asked for she rolled her eyes and had a snarky remark for us. read more

Great food and amazing waitresses. She was very quick to get us our order and very friendly
