Nick's Family Restaurant

Food is always good. Very consistent. We typically lean towards the Mexican and cannot complain for northern Wisconsin. The staff is friendly and quick with our order

Busy family restaurant with quick service. Water is good, large variety on the menu. The breakfast is hearty and tasty. We enjoy stopping here when traveling through.

They ruined a time worn tradition. Nicks has been known for years for their pizza burger. The menu says "traditional " pizza burger. NOT EVEN CLOSE. They cook the onions with some weird spice, over loaded the burger with them and slopped some crappy sauce on it. Why would you mess up a good thing? Disgusting.

I loved my grilled chicken salad. The homemade mint chocolate cream pie with Oreo crust was to die for. My cousin said her chicken noodle soup which was good but would probably select something else next time. Our server was very nice and efficient. Recommended

Don't listen negative reviews from people. Very nice establishment and good service. I plan on eating here every time after racing chequamegon mtb 40 from now on when driving home.

I was told they had really good pie. The pies did look great. BUT, if you want pie eat it first. I had the French Dip. Huge sandwich. Excellent and very tasty. Fries were real good also. I didn't get any pie. Next time Pie first Sandwich second. The service was also very good. Picture next time.

For nearly 40 years Nick's has been an occasional stop for us on the way back from a friend's cabin near Mercer. Over the past decades, the appearance has changed very little if at all. The decor as such could be called utilitarian. The rest rooms could benefit from a renovation. But mitigating the drab surroundings, and despite routine turnover, the staff has consistently been friendly and capable.Regarding the fare, my wife enjoyed the homey, traditional hot beef on bread w/ mashed potatoes and gravy. She found a half order more than satisfying. Son liked the Nick Burger and our daughter the grilled cheese from the "Just for Kids" menu. As they grew older, son moved up to the 1/4 lb cheeseburger and daughter would often opt for a soup & salad combo.Nowadays my trips up and back are generally solo. The other day, another old friend also driving back by himself and I decided to make the trek to Nick's.Over time, my order has never varied. I opt for 1/2 broasted chicken, broasted potatoes and a side of coleslaw. No need this time for novelty. The piping hot chicken was coated in a crispy batter and was moist and flavorful. Potatoes crunchy on the outside and had the consistency of a baked potato on the inside. Slaw was sweet and creamy.I saved room for a slice of tart rhubarb pie topped with whipped cream. Pies in general are worth the extra calories. I often had mine boxed to go.As mentioned, service has always been prompt and accomodating, even in times past when a dozen of us, caravanning back from the lake might have descended all at once.Nick's is a classic family diner. It may have had its ups and downs. But this latest experience confirms it as among the best places to enjoy modestly priced, well prepared comfort food if traveling between Northern Wisconsin and Minneapolis.

Food is subpar, service is minimal at best. They have tables scattered around with a poor flow through the place.

The service was HORRIBLE took forever to even get my bacon cheeseburger Didn't get any refills. The buffet was out of plates poor food choices not enough. Server was snobby as we walked inI would not recommend this place.

service was awful. Sat for 14 minutes with starving kids. Not once did a server come over. we left.
