Nick's Restaurant

Nicks has been well known for years. Came in mid day on a weekend, it was already busy. We got seated 'outside', which was like a big tent. Was hoping for actual sky, etc. It was super loud with football blaring and everyone shouting to talk. Got the NY strip, mashed potatoes and green beans. The green beans were the best part of the meal. They were very good. The steak was just meh . After a few delicious steaks at Nicks over the years, I was disappointed.

Amazing food! We had wings for an app and oooph, the sweet to heat was I had the Reuben and it was the best I've had in a LONG time! Hubs had the burger and he really liked it. Service was amazing! The place overall was really good!

Wow! We were in town to see the lights at Clifton Mill and Yelped "chicken wings", this place popped up. Wow were we surprised how huge this place was and it was hopping on a Saturday night. They were able to seat us quickly and Penny was our server. She was fantastic, making recommendations and refilling drinks quickly. We had the pork rinds which were amazing! I loved the house salad dressing made from green olives (my favorite). We also had the potato appetizer, it was decent, too. The star was the chicken wings, we got both naked and breaded and the sauces on the side. The sauces were all amazing and made in house. We aren't in Xenia often, but Nick's may be a great reason to swing through. Thanks Penny for taking such good care of us!

A friend told me about this small bar with a great patio and good food so we checked it out twice in one week. First we went for lunch and I got the breaded chicken tenders with their house chips....so good! My husband got the buffalo wings and he loved them! We sat at the bar which is small, but it's a really old bar with a lot of character. They have several different beers on tap and a full bar. The next time we went for dinner and I got the pan-fried walleye over rice pilaf. The walleye was hot and huge and the meal came with two sides as well. Very good amount of food for the price. Nick's is a hidden gem!

Highly recommended so we stopped for lunch today. Very crowded which I was not thrilled with. Server seemed irritated. Ordered the fish special and a bowl of chili. Food was slow to arrive and not worth waiting for. Chili was cold and the two thin pieces of fish weren't great. Server disappeared so couldn't even ask for some hot chili. Won't darken their door again.

Phenomenal food. Great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very "local pub" feel and absolutely welcoming!

Great food and service. Next time we will have the frog legs and chicken livers. Or maybe the live and onions.

Our first visit here. It's in the neighborhood now too. Really kitchy place! Got a nice comfy vibe too. We sat on the patio. There was really great music too. Service was solid and we were well attended to the whole visit. The food was good and arrived timely and hot. My chick got the veggie quesadilla and I got the house club. Nope, we weren't disappointed at all. The quesadilla was chock full of fresh veggies and was nice crisped without being so overdone (you know what I mean). The club was a very nice surprise with a warm toasted pretzel bun and fresh veggies and proteins! We sampled some of Nicks custom cocktails and loved them too. Overall a really solid first impression! We see why the place is usually packed! We'll be back to sample more since we're close by now.

I had two large group reservations for Nick's in October 2024. I made the reservation almost a year in advance. I stopped by a couple weeks before our reservation to ensure we would be comfortable and they still were prepared for our large parties. The first reservation we came and it was pretty cold and rainy outside. We had a party of 20 people and were sat outside in the patio area. Which would have been fine, but there was no heating outside and was told that they couldn't heat the patio area until after November 1st. This was not what we were originally told by a manager earlier in the month. We spoke with the general manager who did ensure us that the next night when we had 50 people coming, there would be some type of heat to make it comfortable for our guests. We took their word and returned the second night. They did have maybe 5 residential heaters in the patio area, which was not sufficient at all for the temperature. We did reach out to the owner via the website and was told to take our business elsewhere. Well, I will certainly do that and will NEVER return to Nick's for a meal again. It's truly a shame, as the food is pretty good and the restaurant was one of the best in Xenia. Obviously, they don't need people to stop by and eat there from the attitude received from the owner. I will ensure that I tell everyone I know my experience and will not return to Nick's as long it's under its current ownership.

Nice family restaurant. Large patio and lots room inside. Convenient to the bike trail. Good service and good choices on the menu. I'll be back.
