Overall, Nipper's is a solid option if you're in the Deptford area, and based on how packed the place gets after 5, it feels like it may be the ONLY place around. There's a lively atmosphere in there, which may be a little too loud for some people, but it's never been bad while we're there. Granted, we've been fortunate to miss the evening rush the two times we've gone, so service has always been good; with friendly servers and the food coming out fairly quickly. No idea if this is the norm, but the service staff are always nearby and seem to be very attentive even when it's busy. As for the food, it's solid pub fare. Lots of sandwiches and comfort dishes. The salads are good, and the sandwiches (chicken parm and shrimp po' boy sliders) I've tried have been good enough that I wouldn't hesitate to get them again. The serving sizes were larger than we expected, so definitely come hungry or order something that'll be good as leftovers. If there's one picky thing to consider, it's that they under salt their fries. I usually don't like too much salt, but they're noticeably lacking. The fries are good, though. With a nice staff, fair prices, bang-for-your-buck portions, and tasty food, Nipper's is worth checking out when your craving pub food and a pub atmosphere. read more

First time here and last time. Ordered a Cuban sandwich and received their version of it I suppose . Slices of pork , a slice of ham , chopped pickles and a healthy overdose of a white sauce and it was served on an upside down sub roll . Yes , slice a roll and make the sandwich on the darker round part and leave the cut inside part on the top and bottom . Any Cuban I've ever had was always pressed or grilled but this was not , it was just sloppy upside down bread . I've never had a Cuban sandwich like this before ! It was a sloppy mayo dripping mess that I couldn't eat because I can't eat mayonnaise, something that should have been on the menu description. When a server popped by I asked what it was and she said it was a mayo- horseradish sauce and walked away . I ate the tater tots and left the sandwich, it was pretty bad . Well my boyfriend was finished his meal and both of our beers were empty and yet no one bothered to ask if we wanted another round . We sat there and waited, looking around at the 3 employees who were just standing there talking ... no one seemed to care. Our server who disappeared after taking our order walked right past us to chat with a couple of younger guys right behind us , they were regulars and she obviously knew them . They were chatting and laughing away and here we sat with empty glasses , an upside down sub roll slathered with mayo sauce and no server . Finally another server came by to ask if we wanted anything else and I said no just the check . She saw the sandwich untouched and I said I didn't know it had mayonnaise , something I can't have . She brought the check back and said she removed the Cuban . Um ....no , we were charged $2.50 for the tater tots which I did eat and $2.00 for the Cuban . What did she remove ? Meanwhile when our server saw we were leaving she finally decided to tear herself away from her conversation with the guys to ask if we were okay ....no but thanks for asking . A drink refill , a stop by to see if we needed anything or how was the food but no , we ceased to exist after she took our order . Overall pretty disappointing experience here and we won't be returning. And we're always very generous tippers but not tonight . Tonight we tipped based on the overall experience.... Food - not good at all Service - pretty much nonexistent Atmosphere- if you're a regular you get treated like you matter , you actually get a server that's not invisible !!! Would definitely not recommend this place read more

awful...just awful...sad...used to be great...the servers are great but the wait time for your food is non-existent....no management on site ...don't waste your time read more

The crab legs were amazing! Best in South Jersey!! The service was outstanding and the trivia night was fun!!

Best neighborhood bar in South NJ, good food and the best bartender Kaycie. Go there.

Bartenders were rude and acted annoyed the minute we walked inside. Won't be going back

First time here heard good things. Apparently a new menu which waitress wasn't familiar with, as I ordered the Fried Fish Sandwich and asked for the Remoulade sauce in place of tartar...she said, "we have that?" I replied, "yes, it's on the shrimp Po'Boy." And I received a shrimp Po'Boy...haha it wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't what I originally ordered, it was delicious though, so no complaints on the food. Service was a little slow, but I can live with that. I'll definitely come back, look forward to trying the wings, which I've heard are very good...just wasn't in the mood today. They also have a decent craft beer draft selection for a small bar. Stop in and check it out. read more

Nipper's Pub - Shrimp Po'Boy...not bad. - Pubs Near Me - Westville, New Jersey

My son moves to the area so we stopped in for a bite to eat. Small quiet place that looks like a local spot, that has both an inside and outside bar and seating area. We decided to sit outside on a hot but beautiful sunny day. They have umbrellas on all tables. We ordered drinks and a few appetizers to start. We ordered wings that I truly enjoyed, and grilled shrimp in a garlic ptarmigan spice that was really good. The waitress and bartender were both great, they made sure we were doing ok and didn't rush us to order dinner. This place has a lot of specials, but we just ordered burgers and steak quesadilla. No complaints from anyone.. We will definitely be going back when down on the area again. Maybe next this time we will hang at the bar for a little while. read more

Nipper's Pub - the menu for the restaurant - Pubs Near Me - Westville, New Jersey

Ordered a black n blue burger, no tomato and fried onions. Got a burger with blue cheese dressing (was supposed to be crumbled blue cheese), got tomato (which I am very allergic to) and no fried onions. The restaurant was not very busy and it was a small to go order. The potato chips were good though Very disappointed and will not be patronizing the establishment again. read more

Friendly company... nice spot to watch sports... pretty female staff... good jukebox!

Bartender doesn't have the iq of a dog. So one night i'm tired it's been a long awful day so i decide ill get a burger and beer sounds good. Ive seen this place (Nipper's Pub) on my way home many times so i stopped by. I sat down and got ignored for a while and then the bartender of my nightmares comes over. "Can i help you?" "Yes,ill have a Budweiser." I say. "I.D.?" From her as expected. I give her my i.d. And she walks away. I immediately knew what was happening. She comes back a few minutes later. "Is this fake haha" hands it back "no why" i got a response i could never imagine. " well i just looked for a picture of it in my book and i cant find one that looks like yours" (continues to hand it back which ur not suppose to do if its a fake) and she walks away. I just sat there for 5 minutes contemplating what just happened and a different bartender comes up and asked me to leave. Bottom line don't go here if your under 50 and not divorced. You'll ruin the vibe and scene. Wish I could've enjoyed it seems like a cool spot for my future. read more

As someone who works in the industry I always try to give businesses the benefit of the doubt, pulling up to Nippers they have a nice exterior and a cool outdoor bar area. the interior itself reminded of your classic pub and i thought i was in for a treat. it took me 15 minutes for the waiter to even acknowledge us, if it were busy i'd understand but she was standing at the table beside us facing us and having a conversation, we ordered our apps and entrees but the kitchen decided to send everything to us at the same time. the food wasn't the best but I also wasn't anticipating a five star meal, what really is driving me to give such a low rating is the service. not once did the waitress come over to ask how our meal was besides when she dropped off our check. this place has a ton of potential but when the attitude of the front of your house isn't positive and willing to provide a good experience then it really becomes an uphill battle read more

They refused service to us with my friends registered, legal service dog. We even asked to sit outside and the bartender said no. For the rude bartender please read this: "Under New Jersey's Law Against Discrimination and the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), people with disabilities may bring their service animals to all "public accommodations," such as hotels, restaurants, stores, museums, and more. These laws also require those who operate transportation services to allow service animals." We would have a great legal case on our hands if we wanted to go ahead with that. Please don't support places that don't respect people with disabilities. We went to Clancy's instead. read more

Typically I have a great time here and the staff is always pleasant. Last night we had a server (didn't catch her name, blonde girl) who was pretty rude and rushing us. My friends ID was two days expired but she had the paper showing it was renewed. They wouldn't serve her (I don't blame them, not their fault), but the server had such an attitude about it. She came back and said "I'll give you some time to decide what you want to do" (meaning stay or leave. We came for wings, drinking wasn't the deal breaker). She came back and snatched the menus up so fast, we told her we wanted to order and she acted like she had an attitude we wanted to stay. We all got sweet chili nuggets and they were pretty flavorless compared to all the other times. We had to keep asking her for refills and finally she just randomly brought the check over without asking if we wanted anything else and walked away. read more

A group of friends and I stopped by Nippers Pub after a roller derby competition! We ordered the tots, seafood fries, a round of beers and margaritas! I ordered the seafood fries and enjoyed them to the fullest, lol! They were extremely tasty! The staff is very friendly and did amazing job making sure all of the patrons were satisfied. I will definitely be back again! read more

3 times with bad crabs. I won't be back. I have tallked to the staff left a Message for the owner to call me back but it hasn't happened. Its very disappointing to pay to eat out when its poor quality food. read more

Horrible experience at this establishment!! Place is at 100% occupancy during covid. But the much bigger issue is this place doesn't welcome African Americans! My husband and I was totally ignored and never given menus Or waited on! Waitress totally ignored us! Please don't DINE here! read more

Love this bar food is really good and our waitress was extra nice and friendly!! Highly recommend.... but I have to say after reading another review I'm alittle upset .. I'm a huge supporter of service animals and it pisses me off alittle that service was refused to a person with service dog read more

The wings were fine, but not something that I would seek out, on par with any other small bar like this. The drinks are cheap, our server was friendly. It seemed like a quiet crowd during happy hour on a Friday night. Most of the people at the bar appeared to know one another. Seems like mostly locals, in fact it seems like a lot of people walk to the bar, as there were far fewer cars in the lot than you'd expect for the number of people in the bar. There is nothing particularly wrong with Nipper's, but I can't really see much of a reason to go there if it isn't within walking distance. I prefer Schileen's a bit further up Delsea Drive. read more

One of my favorite places to get AYCE crabs. Cheap beer prices, great food, nice atmosphere. Easy to get in and out of. Friendly staff

Best bar food in South Jersey. They have $1 tacos on Tuesdays, half priced wings on Wednesday's, all you can eat crabs two days a week.

Love this place, the staff is friendly. Food is very good and we enjoy the different types of entertainment they have every week :)

Y'all. Check out the Nipper's Fries. You see that, right? Bacon, melty cheese, ranch dressing and a three cheese blend, all smothering a large platter of fries. Orgasmic doesn't quite go far enough. I'm pretty sure these took a couple years off my life by clogging my arteries at least by half. But hey, I'd do it again. Because, damn! So gooey good! Every bite is like a hadouken of creamy ranch cheesiness. Like a kamehameha wave of sinful pleasure. Is that too far? It's not! It's that delicious. read more

Second visit to Nipper's was last night. Went for drinks (which are super affordable). ended up ordering Nipper's Fries. Last visit had wings and a perfect cooked burger! Crowd is a mix of locals with some young kids mixed it. read more

Happy St Patty's Day! A night out with friends! Great bar friendly staff! Music! Friendly crowd! Perfect drinks!

I went into nippers pub when it was taco night. Each taco was a dollar or so but the meat was cold and it tasted very bland. I've been back and had other items which are good. Stay far away from the tacos though. read more

Worst service every! Waited for a half hour for crabs. Didn't complain just asked for our check to pay what we had (fries and 2 beers). Then the waitress is going to argue how long we were there and say we always have a problem. Use to like this place. Never again. Sorry Kelly. read more

Great place for lunch during the week. Very cool little place to stop in in the middle of the day and have some good food and a drink. Food is phenomenal. I would definitely recommend the hot roast beef with roast beef gravy and horseradish on the side. I've been here a couple of times for lunch but never for dinner or the weekends but they have a very nice menu. Can't wait till summer time comes so I can hang out on the deck bar. read more

Well there are pluses and minuses. Good juke box but the volume is so low you can barely hear it. Sometimes they have some good small bands and that's fun. There are two or three regulars, including one older guy, who literally commandeer the television remote, complain whenever you want to listen to some music and act like they own the place. Annoying as hell. Time to send them on their way. Bartenders seem like hustlers. Can the smiles be any more fake? And they mysteriously disappear, even when things are slow. I have sat at the bar 15 and more minutes with literally no one staffing the bar. Off smoking joints in their car? Oh, and I am pretty sure the bartenders rip the place off. Lots of drink politics: free drinks for bigger than usual tips, nod, nod, wink, wink. Who wins in the end, really? Just cut the beer prices a bit and stop the bartenders from shaking down the customers and the establishment. Oh, and the cops need to stop staking this place out. The stops without probable cause are unconstitutional and disgusting. All in all, though, glad the place is around. Usually good place for some drinks, sports and music. Old dude, though, please get a room at the assisted living center. You are not better then anyone just because you are there six nights a week nursing your one Budweiser over hours. Someone needs to rip the remote from his hand and tell him that, no, we are not turning down the jukebox. We are cranking it up. read more

Love coming here. Been for years. Drinks are well made. Staff is very friendly. Great servers! Love the outside patio. But c'mon, owner of Nipper's, put some money into maintenance! Dark inside (get rid of those cheap paper blinds) and brighten it up! Look at the front door entry! Place looking shabby! read more

Came for the all you can eat snow crabs on a Monday, was not disappointed. Crabs were great, staff was running around like crazy trying to keep up, and did a damn good job of it. read more

Not a bad seat in the place. TV's Everywhere! Awesome outdoor patio, perfect for phils games! Food was great too! I liked it.

This place was a second home growing up, now I still enjoy either stopping in for a drink and some wings or just getting wings for takeout, they are awesome read more

Walking in to Nipper's is like walking into your best friend's house. You are greeted by the staff with a smile. The only thing I would tweak would be the lighting. I like going out on the deck when the weather gets warmer because inside is a bit dark. The food has always been good, drinks are served in big people glasses not sippy cups. Absolutely love the feel of this place...that is why I go once a month or more. read more

Great neighborhood bar with tasty food and friendly staff! Nice deck and great wings - half price on Wednesday!

I've been here a few times before and never had a problem. Today, on the other hand, there was nothing but issues. The waitress was rude. The garlic parm boneless wings I ordered were sitting in a puddle of oil and overloaded with garlic. The chicken itself was bland. Wouldn't recommend the wings to anyone... read more

Been coming here for years, but don't get there quite as much as I used to, but still enjoy going there when I want a few beers and maybe some bar food that is close to home. It also can be fun to people watch at this place. I also only go on weekends. It's a good, solid unpretentious, locals bar that has been around for years. It attracts all ages with a more middle aged and older crowd earlier in the evening, and as it gets later the clientele gets younger. The crowd can look a little rough around the edges at times. It is not a place that attracts the hipster, yuppie, or soccer mom crowd. It gets a more old school, south Jersey crowd. The staff has always been friendly and quick to get you another drink when you're sitting at the bar. They do have pretty good food, and some of the best wings around IMHO. Prices are on the cheap to average side. They offer a decent selection of beers but don't expect to find a selection of fine wines or fancy cocktails. In the summer they have a fun, little patio bar. The place has plenty of big screen TVs to watch the game. They occasionally have small bands, and when they do it can get very crowded. Other times it's either a DJ later in the evening, or the jukebox for music. Overall, it's a decent, locals south Jersey bar. The fun, unpretentious, solid blue collar type of bar that is getting harder to find in this day and age. read more

Nippers is the best most awesome place ever! I like to stop by after work as it's on my way home from my hotel. Everybody misses me when I'm not there. I can't wait to take my best friend Mike there. read more

I went here after work around 12:30am. Place was empty, but there is never a crowed that late on a Wednesday night. At that point they were ready to close. Any other place would make u feel uncomfortable about being "that a hole" that's keeping the place open, but the staff was super nice and personable. Def an awesome local bar. Can't wait to go back read more
