Wow! My husband and I just tried this restaurant for the first time. Each of us tried the roast beef sandwich with provolone cheese. We split the gravy fries (kind of like meat and gravy) and a plain fries. All of the food was outstanding. Donna was our waitress, and she the best server that we had had in quite a while. She has a big personality! We met the nice owner, Brian. All staff looked happy to be there, and Donna complimented the owner being very nice. If I were a person who drank alcohol and lived near the restaurant, I would become a regular. When we in the mood for an outstanding roast beef sandwich and fries, we will go here again! The restaurant was a clean tavern. read more

First time for me, my brother swears by Old Nick's, West Chester. Engaging and informative waitress. The roast beef combo was very tasty, and the fries were right on. The draft beer was cold. All in all, it was a pleasant and satisfying experience. Will be back. read more

Sat night 6:30 visit and the place is filled but there is room for two more. We had to try this place passing it so often. Server was friendly and welcoming. Got us two beers quickly and took our orders. I was having a combo with cooper sharp and wifey was having a regular. We also ordered Onion Rings. All came out soon after and were hot and thick and with a little slab or horseradish, delicious. Many games on and a good times noisy crowd. Not a intimate spot, a let's watch the game spot and grab some delicious food. Will be back. read more

I ordered delivery for my sandwiches. I couldn't believe that they would actually think this was ok to send. Please see photos. I had 2 Roast Beef . One had 2 pieces of scraps , they were so small . The other had one full pieces of beef , that one I asked for it to be wet , it was so dry . It looks nothing like the photos they advertise . I called as soon as I saw the sandwiches . The girl on the phone said she'll tell her manager and he'll call you , we are really busy . Never got a call back. read more

A bit disappointed. The sandwich was very unseasoned and did not have much meat. Very thin for $12.72 (just the sandwich. No fries). Not the best value for my money. I'm gonna pass from now on bits not what I remembered it to be. I gave the overall a 3stars because the staff is very nice and Resturant clean and friendly. But I'd only come here for drinks. read more

Good food I tried takeout and dining inside and never had any issues food is always good.

Came here with some coworkers on a business trip to Newtown. They hyped it up and said it was a "must try"... It was just ok and I didn't even finish my sandwich. Odd flavor and WAY under seasoned. Just felt like it needed something else, like a sauce or mustard or something... Waitress was nice and helpful with the menu. It's a pass for me but maybe just a regional thing? In Texas we like our beef to taste better than this read more

The fries were hard/overcooked and very small portion for the hefty price of $5! RB needed some seasoning - very bland and the aujus was watery not dark and savory like should be. read more

Its a Philly stable that made its way to the burbs and we are all lucky it did . It's a weekly lunch trip for me and the guys the beef combo is always great ! it's what a roast beef sandwich should be . All the food is great the services is great everyone is nice and the Beers always cold not much else to ask for. read more

Interesting place, only five selections. Roast beef. Pork, turkey or broccoli rabe. With or without cheese. Several was to customize your sandwich, see the menu instructions picture. Full bar, they made my dad a gin martini that he enjoyed. I had a local draft. I ordered the roast pork combo so it had sharp provolone on it. My dad had the roast beef and the gravy fries. If you look at the menu instructions, gravy fries are a cheese curd away from poutine. I also had the onion rings, crisp and tasty. If I had to list a fault, all the plates and utensils are throw away. And they should keep a bottle of hot sauce around. read more

This place is pretty good. My boss and I went in on a Thursday for lunch. We walked in and sat a high top near the bar. We weren't greeted by anyone, so my boss eventually went up to the bar and asked if we order there and she was told someone would be to the table. A sign would be nice, maybe we just missed one. The menu is simple. Just pork, turkey, or of course, roast beef sandwiches. I think there's also a broccoli rabe sandwich available. You can add cheese, horseradish. Fries on the side. There are a few other variations. They're served on round rolls. My boss went with turkey and seemed to enjoy it. I had pork & broccoli rabe with provolone. Mine was delicious and more than I could eat. I took half home to my husband. The cheese on the fries was a perfect orange wiz. We'll likely return! read more

Old Original Nicks Roast Beef - a sandwich and fries - New American Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Great spot for a simple, quick meal. The roast beef sandwich is appropriately sloppy with just the right amount of gravy, a slice of provolone and an ample amount of beef. Pair it with fresh horseradish and you're left wanting for nothing. The gravy fries are excellent - crisp and piled high with beef shavings. Clean and inviting atmosphere with friendly staff. Side note - when the West Chester location first opened, the gravy was way off compared to the Springfield location. Everything is right where it needs to be now. read more

Old Original Nicks Roast Beef - Roast Beef Combo and Gravy Fries - New American Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

First time eating here since I left the area and was a little disappointed. The gravy fries were still fabulous, but the roast beef sandwiches weren't as good as my past visits. The roast beef itself was dry, and there wasn't enough gravy to make up for it. I don't know if they switched where they get their provolone from, or if they ran out and had to get a back up, but it used to be really sharp and well complemented the meat. This time around I wasn't getting any bite from the cheese at all. I even tried the cheese by itself and it was fine for provolone, but I would never believe it was sharp provolone. The service was great, the staff were all friendly, and our food came out fast. read more

Delicious food and great service. Brian & Megan are great! Love the gravy fries and overboard Roast beef combo!!

Good but kinda pricey for what you get. Beer was reasonably priced. Now im just typing to fill yelps min number of digits

Ordered every combo on the menu! Everything was spot on. Highly recommend. My personal favorite was the roast pork combo with broccoli raab

If you want a divey-type bar with good basic roast beef and roast pork sandwiches, this is the spot for you. I enjoy the ambiance here, nothing fancy but pretty comfortable. Server wasn't overly friendly but not mean either - the perfect Philly balance. She was quick to take our order and bring our food and drink. I appreciate that they offer different topping options. read more

Addicted to the sandwiches! A great iconic place for a terrific roast beef and provolone

There's no reason for this place not to have 5 stars. Sandwiches were freakin awesome. Maybe a little on the expensive side but so worth it. I've had the beef and pork so far and they were so good. No complaints. Going back for the Turkey and ham. I'll have photos next time. read more

Carnivores' rejoice! This is the second Western suburbs location of this family-owned joint. The other is in Springfield and of course the legendary original location is in South Philly. If you have visited the other locations you're going to be surprised at the ATMOSPHERE here. This is an extensively remodeled building that looks and feels brand new. There is a rectangular bar that has one more seat then Springfield but feels bigger. There are plenty of tables including some private rooms. For your listening pleasure there is a Wi-Fi enabled TouchTunes juke box. You can also test your skills on Golden Tee. The CUSTOMER SERVICE at the other locations has always been solid and they have maintained that here, I had three different folks touch me and they were all friendly and competent. If you are into adult libations this is a FULL BAR joint with about ten taps. When I visited, three of them were IPAs. Now for the FOOD. The star of the show is sandwiches especially roast pork and roast beef. They carve their roast beef to order here for every sandwich. There are no slices sitting around getting dry. Most folks will add a slice of sharp provolone and many will also add a Topper of broccoli rabe. If you want the entire experience get a side of gravy fries. Depending on your choices you're going to spend $10-$15 not counting your drinks of course. When your food arrives and the wonderful aromas hit you, take an extra couple of seconds and grab a double handful of napkins. This is delicious but messy food. Expect savory juices to be dripping everywhere. That includes you chin, hands, arms and even in your hair. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little but not by much! The other locations have earned 4-4 1/2 stars with hundreds of reviews and this new location joins them with the same excellent experience. read more

Choose your own adventure at Nicks! First choice: Right for the dining area or left for the bar and to-go. We chose left and were not disappointed! Plenty of tables surrounding a full service bar. Bartender said to sit anywhere for choice number 2! We chose the bench seating and were rewarded when Stephanie appeared and welcoming us to Nicks and offering us yet another choice! Our party chose wisely once more, with this very important choice...What do we want? Onion Rings, Cheese Fries, a bag of chips, and 3 "Combos": Beef, Pork, and Rabe. The "Combo" is yet another choice...If you choose cheese, choose the "Combo"! 60 cents for some sharp provolone, well worth it! The sandwiches were the real deal served on good Kaiser rolls. With the beef, I'd have liked another choice...Rare? Medium? Well? I'd choose medium, if I had this choice...thankfully that is just what I got, without even asking! It was a very good sandwich and I'll choose it again soon...tender, juicy, and delicious! I also sampled the pork and would describe it the same way! So good I chose one to-go as my final choice at Nicks! read more

Old Original Nicks Roast Beef - Someone couldn't wait to try the pork combo. - New American Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

I've only had their food once, and I got take-out. Specifically, I got a take-out roast beef sandwich. It was average. But take-out is different then eating in because of condensation. So it's not really fair to judge them on 1 item once, and, it's take out. I'm read more

Stopped in for the first time to grab a sandwich to go. Ordered roast beef with cheese and horseradish. Ready in just a few minutes and on my way. I was pleasantly surprised to find they cut it in half for me, it's a large sandwich and unless you are used to eating large portions, half is plenty to hit the spot. They also put the horseradish on the side, which is great so you can adjust to your preference. My first couple bites I felt underwhelmed, but before long I realized it was only because the sandwich was so hot, I wasn't quite getting all of the flavors. I finished every bit of that half. It was delicious. I look forward to trying this place again when I have someone to share the gravy fries with! read more

Awesome food I love their RB sandwiches totally worth the price get it with extra au jus and provolone

Really good roast beef sandwiches at Nicks. I love how they are no frills. The sandwich comes on a paper plate. It looks pretty simple, however it could be served in fine china, because it is that tasty. There isn't any special secret here. They make great sandwiches at reasonable prices. There is a bar attached for your drinking pleasure. Great spot for a quick lunch read more

2.5 stars. Stopped here last one night around 11 PM. There was only a single customer drinking a beer at the time. I got a roast beef sandwich with provolone and a side of long hots to go. The total was nearly $11 and the side order of long hots should be called a 'long hot' because it contained a single pepper. I got home and the sandwich was just subpar. The roll didn't taste fresh, the beef was cold and dried out, horseradish was watery and bland, and the long hot was mediocre. It wasn't a good sandwich and not worth $11. Hoagiefest at Wawa is charging only $5 for a large sandwich this month and arguably has better hot sandwiches than this particular one. I might go back another time to try the roast pork but I won't be stopping here again for the roast beef especially later in the evening. Just might wait to go to the original Nick's in South Philly instead. read more

Ordering through DoorDash. Be prepared to WAIT! I'm a doordasher. This restaurant is notorious for making us wait for customers food. This is a disservice to your customers and very disrespectful of us doordashers time. We don't get paid hourly hlwe get paid per delivery. We also get reviews that we must keep up so we can rank for the next month. I've been here plenty of time and each time you make us wait way over our original pick up time. Staff needs to call doordash and change their prep time for orders cause this is unacceptable. We shouldn't be waiting 20 minutes pass the pick up time. I wouldn't be leaving this review if this wasnt such a regular occurrence but it happens way too much. I ve stop coming here but today decided to give you another chance. I waited 20 minutes total 10 minutes pass my pick up time and left out to my car. Then you guys chased me saying the food is ready. I saw that bag sitting there but ya let me sit there the whole time when I asked 2l3 separate times about my order being ready. Response not yet. But iwlt was sitting there the whole time. Another incident I came to pick up after you guys had close. I only been assigned the order for 4 minutes. One your staff proceeded to try and scold me for making you guys wait. We don't know how long food been sitting ready to go. All we know is that we get assigned and gotta come pick up. If you guys got food out on time maybe dasher would come pick up instead of avoiding you. Smh Do better. *updated in response to owner. Call doordash for business support and have the prep time fixed. It's an algorithm if we're showing up to fast that means doordash the company and computer does not know how long the food really takes to make. It's you business specifically and one other outback steakhouse that has this problem because we're showing up do to a wrong factor on time in their system. Have the expected pickup time updated! Responding "yes you will" is so authoritative. I'm not your damn employee and don't act like I am. No I won't just wait each time you guys just feel like wasting our time. Just like I did yesterday. The long wait don't hurt you it hurts our rating when the customer is mad and wondering why their food is taking forever. That out of our control. But it's good to see your ready to exploit us on-demand app delivery drivers and have no disregard for our time because were working too. read more

Old Original Nicks Roast Beef - New American Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

We were looking for a late night place to eat some non fast food, and this place greatly surpassed our expectations. We all got the A combo (Just roast beef with provolone on a bun), and it was perfectly simple but had a great taste. I loved the fries. They were super crispy, which is what I prefer. Service was great, no complaints. It's a Phillies/eagles/etc. bar and a Phillies game was going so everyone was getting into it. Great environment I would say. Anyways, overall extremely pleased. Kinda sad that I won't be driving through this part of PA anytime soon again, because we loved this place. read more

I really enjoy good roast beef, so I decided to stop into Nicks for a quick lunch. I'm honestly shocked that many people posted rave reviews about their sandwiches, since mine fell flat. My sandwich came out cool. I told the waitress what happened and she said she would 'go get me a new one'. But, I got a bad feeling that they would simply re-heat the sandwich in the microwave since Nicks isn't exactly the Four Seasons or anything. Lo and behold, my sandwich came back out in five minutes or so, apparently 'just made', even though the roll was almost too chewy to eat and the cheese was greasy and floppy rather than properly melted. The beef was also chewy in the center, confirming it was microwaved, and had barely any flavor. There wasn't any broth served with it, either. ( I don't think they could have even if they wanted to, though, since their sandwiches are served on doll-sized plates!) As for ambiance, choose to sit on either a rock-hard chair or a stiff wooden bench in the dining room, or get blasted away by lame hits near the bar. I also had the good fortune to sit near someone who blew their nose every 10 or 15 minutes throughout the entire lunch that sounded like a foghorn in the entire dining room. If that isn't enough to sour your appetite, I don't know what is. Even if you love divey bars, please -- just skip Nicks. read more

Old Original Nick's Roast Beef in West Chester gets the "A-Ok" Yelp rating from me. The most appealing aspect of their newest location, is that this is by far the kid friendliest of the three. This location is also their largest and provides a nice dining room far away from their hopping bar scene. With that being said, there are some simple and easy improvements that could be made here. The standard menu caters to their adult audience, ice cold beer and hearty sandwiches, however there are no real good menu options for the kids outside of mozzarella sticks and fries. A simple addition of chicken fingers and/or Mac and cheese would go a long way and make this a more appealing family destination. If they lose their stubbornness and adapt a tad they could really take advantage of their bigger setup. As always, the gravy fries were uncompromisingly delightful! The roast beef on this particular night was the toughest we have experienced at a Nick's. With this being our first trip to Nick's West Chester I hope we just caught them on and off night because this was not up to the standard set by their Springfield and city locations. The prices at Nick's are reasonable. I love that they provide hot peppers and horseradish on the table as well as honey mustard. Service was friendly but slow during this particular visit. We look forward to coming back and hopefully bumping them up to a four! read more

Old Original Nicks Roast Beef - Much more kid friendly than their Springfield location - New American Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

After many trips to the Springfield location, I decided to check out the new West Chester store...I went on Saturday afternoon and discovered it's just as good as I expected it would be be. The bartender, John, was on point, witty and quick with my drinks and a joke. The food tasted just as good as always. If I closed my eyes I would have thought I was in Springfield. I have dreams about their delicious hand-carved sandwiches and and gravy fries and my meal on Saturday lived up to them! I was told by John that the beginning was a bit rough due to numerous problems beyond the owner's control, but were quickly resolved. If you live in the area, or if you have ever been to the Springfield location, I suggest you check out Nick's., you won't be disappointed. The bar is beautiful and I checked out the back dining rooms which are REALLY Spectacular, offset from the bar which makes them a good family option. The staff is friendly, helpful an efficient. I will DEFINITELY be returning soon. read more

Food good. Girl bartender needs some customer service training. We won't be back. The guy bartenders so good at conversations and service.

OH SWEET JESUS! The best roast beef sandwich you'll ever have. So tender and juicy. Get the combo which has the cheese. And throw on some horseradish. So tender it melts in your mouth. Fries are pretty good too. And it's a mecca for Delco people if you're into observing their loud ways. Don't go Sunday's because they're closed. read more

Let's begin with how overpriced this place is. The amount of roast beef in their sandwiches is what you would expect from a fast food restaurant. They also use paper plates and paper knives and forks like a fast food restaurant. They offer sweetened and unsweetened iced tea, but the problem is they don't offer you sugar for the unsweetened iced tea. I asked our waitress about this she said the owner won't buy sugar. She said the waitresses are embarrassed when customers ask for sugar so they bring in sugar packets from other restaurants. For example the two packets of sugar she bought me for my iced tea were from Dunkin' Donuts! You better bring your own sugar in case the waitresses don't have any. I like a slice of American or cheddar cheese with my roast beef sandwich but this place only offers provolone cheese. I also asked the waitress about this and she's the owner will only buy provolone. Not everybody likes provolone cheese why not offer other options? At place it is provolone cheese or no cheese. The bottom line is you go to a place called Nick's Roast Beef expecting a really great roast beef sandwich. Instead what you get is a very average sandwich no better than what you get at a diner. read more

Expensive and disappointing $50 for 2 sandwiches broccoli rabe and 2 cocktails. Nor worth the money. Mediocre at best. Should have gone to Stone Tavern instead. Ugh! First and last time at Nicks read more

One of the best sandwiches Ive ever had. Beef was done perfectly. Outstanding roll as well Will definitely return read more

Not quite what I was expecting from a roast beef place. Pros: Onion rings were good Key points: The gravy is very watery/greasey lack luster goop. Small menu VERY LOUD Serfvice is ok/meh I went to Nick's with family during a cross country visit. Most of us wished we'd gone somewhere else. The roast beef isn't very flavorful and a bit too fatty for my taste. Others had the turkey combo (turkey gravy prov) and there was minimal turkey involved, mostly cheese and gravy, they need smaller buns or more meat. The food is something I'd expect from a greasy food truck and doesn't really quite cut it for a restaurant experience. As well the menu consists of minimal sandwich options and sides, which isn't great for families. (I didn't know this going in) The floor layout for the building creates very very loud areas and would be more suited for a finer dining experience. Our server was very nice, but partially absent and there was much waiting around - also not good for people with kids. I think nick's would do very well in the borough with the college crowd but for families its not at all a fun experience. If you're looking to get drunk and have some over priced slop quell your appetite, then I'd recommend. Otherwise steer clear. read more
