Nik's Steak & Seafood Restaurant

I had lunch here about a month ago on a Saturday. Yelp brought me here as I was in the area. It's located on the corner of a strip shopping center with parking in front. Nik's is a casual table service restaurant that looks very nautical inside with its decor and is small inside. After looking at the menu that consists of steaks and seafood dishes I realized it's quite affordable too. In fact, steaks are a big part of the menu. I ordered a combo type meal of a 5 oz. sirloin with 5 blackened shrimp and mashed potatoes for $12.99. The meal came out in less than 15 minutes. I must say that the sirloin was outstanding! Seriously, I can't remember eating a steak that was more flavorful and tender as those 5 ounces were. It was better than most filet mignon's that I have experienced. However they do it, the steaks here are legit. I want that steak (no, need that steak) again and soon. The blackened shrimp were tasty and enjoyed too. Finally, I was impressed with how creamy and smooth the mashed potatoes were along with the delish gravy on top. For $13 this meal rocked! Finally, my waiter, William gave excellent table service. I don't live near or frequent this area often however I want to come back. This meal was an easy 5 but after just one experience I'm hesitant without trying something else and think I should give a 4 for now. But that steak was soooo good.....

So second trip here....not by choice. Anyway had the catfish basket since was not very hungry. I took it fried. First it was HOT thanks. Next it was salty and fishy. My side was the fried corn on the cob. The corn made up for the breading but it was not as salty as the fish. Anyway the place had only one server so would cut them some slack but the dining room was messy. For me this is a 2 star

It's in a strip mall, and the inside is basic, but the food is great. The service is also friendly. They have a varied menu. I have been twice and gotten the shimp po boy grilled and fried. Both times I have gotten it with the side salad, which is a nice size. The shrimp has been cooked really well. Everyone I have been with has seemed equally pleased with their choices. There is lot's more on the menu that I want to try, and plan on going back regularly.

Get the fried shrimp. It's the best batter in town! I also tried the mashed potatoes because I saw a previous review that said they were good and they were awesome! The husband had the hush puppies and said they were excellent. This was our second time and we are adding it to the regular rotation. You won't be disappointed.

We were driving by and decided to try it. It's a small, cozy place. When we got there, there was only one waitress. An order for 6 people came out of the kitchen so she served them first and it took her about 15 minutes to serve us our drinks.I decided on a cup of gumbo, 6 piece fried shrimp with fried corn on the cob and vegetables. Husband picked the 12 oz. steak with coleslaw, onion rings, plus 3 grilled shrimp.After about 10 minutes, she brought out the coleslaw. Hubby and I both liked it. Five minutes later, she brought out the gumbo. When I saw it, the first words out of my mouth were, "Somebody needs to learn how to make roux." It was very soupy. I took a sip of the soup and there was a party in my mouth. The flavor was very good and husband agreed.Another 10 minutes later, we got our food. The fried shrimp and vegetables needed some salt. I liked the very light batter on the shrimp. The fried corn had the same light batter and I also liked it. I had some of the onion rings and those were great. The grilled shrimp had too much pepper on it. The cocktail sauce had sriracha sauce in it. That was different. I didn't try the steak. I will come back for the gumbo and onion rings, for sure.

This restaurant is really a gem! Small family-owned restaurant that serves great tasting meals. Great prices for good quantity of foods! If you don't need giant brand-named fancy steakhouse restaurants, this would be the place for what would be like a homemade steak made on the grill or in the old-fashion style of a cast iron pan. We shared a 12 oz ribeye steak with sides of broccoli, Cajun-style rice, fried shrimp & fried oysters. The ribeye steak was perfectly cooked on a grill. We requested a medium-rare steak. Steak was super tasty! Cajun rice was delicious and the steamed broccoli still had a good crunch & not mushy. The fried shrimp & oysters had a light batter coating and was crunchy & tasty. This was a great meal that was shared between 2 persons and cost us about $25. Loved the staff! Attentive and friendly! Restaurant has a few tables and always has customers. Highly recommended this little place!

Very delicious dinner. Fried ShrimpWas great as usual. Baked potato was very soft and tasty. Hush Puppies were just as good. Grilled veggies were not as good as usual but are one of my favorite sides.

Listen up Yelpers! Myself and two others stopped here yesterday for lunch. It's hidden in a strip center off 2920 in north Houston, so you have to look hard to find it. Our waiter ( Maureling) was very professional and polite in all aspects. The food was crazy good!!! We had jumbo wrapped shrimp brochettes and salmon with a baked potato. SERIOUSLY, it was delicious. The little restaurant was clean and pleasant. Give them a try, and ask for Maureling! You'll be glad you did! Peace.

Finally went to Nic's for dinner with my husband. We were pleasantly surprised how delicious everything was. Every item is cooked to order. Ordered the calamari fresh and perfectly cooked. I had the catfish poboy, delicious and surprisingly steaming hot. My husband ordered the grilled pork chops with two sides. The customer service was excellent. Pretty young lady that served us always had a smile on her face. Highly recommend you try this place. We will definitely be back.

Great place to eat. We go here 1-2 time a week. Friendly staff, they know their food. I definitely recommend dining here.
