Nick's Airport Inn

Quite disappointed. Low quality shrimp, small portions, and an inattentive waitress. The tuna was bland and clearly not great quality, and the "crispy" mushrooms were burnt.

Location: just off of I 81 north of Hagerstown and south of the Pennsylvania line. Famously located on the end of the runway of Hagerstown airport - pilots have been known to fly in to eat here! Operating in the same location since World War II.Service: in my experience over 30 years eating here the service has always been professional and great. We've eaten there twice recently for romantic getaways, and our experience was great. Shout out to Stephanie our server both times and a wonderful and fun professional. She really made us feel welcome. The owner and managers are always present also and often visit each table.Facilities: it's a big place - 10 dining rooms of various sizes, and a popular piano bar/atrium that the locals call "the lounge". Group and office lunches are very popular here. My wife and I enjoy going on weekends to the lounge for great seafood to the accompaniment of American standards on the piano. Noise levels are lower in the main dining rooms, but we love the buzz and atmosphere of the lounge. White table cloths, crystal, and martini glasses, - It's all very old-school in a very nice relaxing way. Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin would've loved dining here - and I mean that as a compliment! Value: recently, our entrées were in the $30-$40 range, with great appetizers around $12-$15. Drinks were only nine dollars or so. Our bill for two with two drinks each was about $130, so not a cheap night out, but much less than I would expect to pay for anything comparable in any metro area! Nick's steaks and especially seafood are great. Nick's crabcakes are deservedly famous. Another reviewer said they had too much filler - where was he eating? Nick's lump crab meat cakes have almost no filler at all. See photos attached below and on their website. What you see is what you get! I've had a hard time finding equally good crabcakes even on Maryland's Eastern shore. People don't typically think you should come to Hagerstown to eat crabcakes, - but they should!Pro tips: dinner starts early and the busiest times seem to be around six 630 for dinner. The kitchen closes at eight! So come for cocktails and stay for an early excellent dinner. Dress is generally classy/casual. No coats or ties, but nice shirts, dresses and slacks. On a recent summer visit, everyone in the lounge looked like they had come from the yacht club! Lots of polos and Hawaiian shirts, bright prints, and Sperrys, and sandals.

Visiting a friend in the area who suggested this plane. I couldn't have been more surprised and pleased by the service, quality of food. Everything we ate was phenomenal and the prices were way less than expected for such amazing food.

1st time In Hagerstown, MD on business and Nick's Airport Inn came highly recommended as a great place for a dinner meeting. It did not disappoint! We started with the oysters Rockefeller, clams casino & fried Buffalo oysters...can't tell you which I enjoyed more! Followed up with a cup of an absolutely delicious creamy crab chowder and then came the main course....Parmesan encrusted veal porterhouse! The service was super friendly & extremely attentive. Love the place!!

Delicious food. Our teenage grandsons even enjoyed their choices. Excellent service. Our server tended to every one of us so kindly.Gracious hospitality. A group photo was taken for us to commemorate the occasion.

The appetizers, main course, and dessert were all delicious. They have friendly staff and the service was great. It had a nice atmosphere.

My husband and I eat at Nick's 2 times per week. The staff is accommodating to my dietary needs and goes above and beyond to please us. Their food is very good and fresh. I have had a dish or two that were not cooked to my preference and they immediately addressed it and replaced it with the correct doneness. Everyone is polite and eager to please, especially the bartender! Please do not let a couple of disgruntled patrons keep you from enjoying such a lovely restaurant. We have been going to Nick's for 43 years and this family owned business is one of our favorite places to enjoy an evening with friends!

This review is in response to Opa and Cupcake. My husband and I were celebrating our 31st anniversary at Nick's Airport Inn and we witnessed a horrible scene created by Opa and Cupcakes table. Nothing the staff did would make this group happy. I witnessed the server try to accommodate them all night long and they continuously complained. As we were leaving, we witnessed a man pointing his finger at the manager and cursing at him creating an even uglier scene for the rest of the dining room.Thanks for ruining my anniversary dinner but on a side note, our service EXCELLENT or food was beyond delicious and prepared exactly the way we ordered. I cannot recommend this restaurant more!!

Should be NO stars. We gave this place a 2nd chance and that was a mistake. Place is awful, manager is mean & aggressive. The bartender threathen my husband, saying, "If he was not on the clock, he would take my husband outside!" What employees acts that way and threathens a customer???We were a family trying to have a wonderful birthday dinner and all the food was awful. Steaks were rare, mistakes with orders, berated an 86 year old guest(s)of ours. His order was verbally placed by a family member and waitress argued she put in what he 'pointed' too. They brought out the totally wrong meal and said they were OUT of what he wanted. So, she knew what he wanted and up charged him for this meal and did not ask him. So the meal he wanted was $35 and was charged $55! This disgusting place should give up. There is no way a chef is cooking these meals. I have traveled all over and this was a disgrace. They do NOT care about the customers satisfaction and get posturing and aggressive behavior when approached with an issue(s) One of our guess cried at the table due to how the manager spoke to her and his agressive tone. The manager was arguing with her that her steak was not salty and both HIM and the chef TASTED her steak. Why? Why would they taste a steak that a customer was eating. The owners of this establishment need to know what is going on with this place. We asked multiple times for the owners name and phone number and it was not given to us. THANK goodness for a wonderful Italian restaurant down the street that saved our night! Wonderful owner of the Italian restaurant(Cafe Roma), wonderful food, and amazing employees. The owner of (Cafe Roma), made us feel at home with his welcoming establishment, personality, and staff. After what we experienced at Nick's Airport in this was refreshing and our nerves had calmed down. We weren't feeling the threatening atmosphere of Nick's and their employees. I wanted to share this review so no family endures this behavior. To the owners of this establishment, wake up!

We made a reservation for my birthday. I ordered my food with light salt. My fillet and food were extremely salty and cold. I told the server and the manager came out and said your food is not salty, I tasted it. Omg gross. He was so rude to me I cried at the table. My sister and brother in law's steaks were raw, they sent it back and they were returned outside was burnt but inside still raw. They were rude to my family also. This was upsetting to my family and my mom was just recovering from heart surgery. The bartender threatened physical violence against my brother in law in front of the manager. He said if I weren't on the clock.... We left after that due to we are not physically violent people like Nick's staff. We later went to another restaurant and they said they get many, many people from Nicks with extremely bad experiences. This restaurant ruined my birthday dinner!!! Beware Nick's is awful!!!!!!!!!!
