Simply delightful, food is out of this world. Great job with social distancing and other covid precautions. A super staff and great attention from the owners. read more

Food was excellent, solid wine list. Trust the staff, they'll make sure you get something you like! Chef is authentic European. High quality spot. We got the pork loin special and chicken spaetzle. Both great and filling. read more

I spent a few years in West Germany as a kid and fell in love with the schnitzel. I heard about these folks (had their own restaurant in Germany for 15 years or so) and figured I'd take my bride there for our anniversary/Valentines dinner (they're on the same day) I spoke with the owner when I made reservations and asked her if she'd have a dozen roses on our table. They were there! Susannah was great and we enjoyed two different varieties of schnitzel and the spatzle as a side. Wow! It was all wonderful! Then we ordered every single item on the dessert menu. Ha! I've got to give a complete review right? Apple strudel w/vanilla ice cream, crepe brûlée, cheesecake and a raspberry mousse. (We've already been back!). The second time they had a "trio crime brûlée" and I asked for 2 of them "to go". Well, it's not something you can put in a plastic container. Initially the idea was nixed. I offered a $20 deposit to take the dishes home and that idea passed muster. We are everything at home and then took the dessert dishes back and thanked them for their trust. This is a great little family restaurant and they work hard, though effortlessly to make you feel at home. This is a wonderful addition to the already plentiful variety of restaurants in Mt. Pleasant. We're sold. And we'll be back again and again. There are other menu options to try and I've got my eye on those pork medallions. It's not inexpensive, but you will enjoy it and feel you got your value to be sure. Bon apetit' read more

I travel to Charleston for work the last 8 yrs. While there I eat out regularly at fine dining and not so fine dining. This place is awesome and provides exceptional German food that was perfectly prepared with great flavors and care. The inside is white, clean, and fairly modern but small. I was there while it was packed and it was still pleasant and the service was amazing. Reservations are recommended to ensure a table. You can go wearing jeans/Shorts button up shirt and feel normal eating there. Food was 9/10 and the experience was superb. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

Came across this little bistro with German Italian cuisine. Very small inside but warm. The food was very good. We started with the potato pancake appetizer which was very tasty. Our entrees were delicious but my husband's was way overpriced for the small portion he was served. His meal was served in a soup bowl size dish and there were exactly 4 mussels and 2 shrimp in his seafood and pasta dish for $29. Disappointing. We will come back because my meaI was a nice size. I have included pictures for reference. read more

One of the best dinners I've had in a long long time. This is pure and simple comfort food at its finest. My fiancé and I went on a date night with our friends and it was a much needed night out which was made even better by the whole entire dining experience at Nick's. This place feels like home. It's comfortable and the staff is marvelous! The food is impeccable! Myself and my friend ordered the special for that night which was the pork stroganoff. The pork was so tender it basically melted in your mouth! My fiancé had the Jagerschnitzel and our other companion had the lamb. We all highly enjoyed our meals! The gentlemen had German beers with their dinner and they both raved about how good they were. This place is a definite must! read more

Great food and service, many good German beers to choose from and delicious food Closest thing to being in Germany you can get in SC!

Veiner Schnitzel was dry and salty. Would not recommend it. Side potatoes were either over done or limp. Beer, great!! d read more

Seriously? Just go! What a wonderful place! The service, food, atmosphere, all is wonderful. We will be back soon. This is now a once a month date night. read more

Came here for our anniversary, excellent, just excellent. Service was excellent, the food was amazing. You can tell the ownership/management down to the server care about your experience and food quality. You don't need to be a lover of German food (it's my husbands favorite) to just love the good quality food here. read more

Tonight we received a reply from The OWNER of MEZZO Restaurant; regarding our negative dining experience this week. Her reply was defensive and in no way offered a valid explanation or heart felt apology regarding the terrible service that we received. In fact, she really didn't address or even apologize for JR the waiter not knowing how to serve in a casual fine dining restaurant. She didn't address that of the 4 people dining together, She brought our dinners out to the table separately. They served the men first, and then only one of the women. The second woman, my wife was served a good while after the rest of us. The OWNER needed to carry our dinner plates using a kitchen towel which suggests to me that the food had been sitting for some time under heat lamps. The OWNER served out of order and had to ask us "who got what:? The server bounced around when taking our initial order saving the woman for last. I had to ask the OWNER to stabilize our dinner table as it was very wobbly. ( I would think that a NEW restaurant, which is supposedly managed by an experienced restaurateur) would have things like this handled prior to opening the doors to except peoples money. In the past week I have shared our terrible service with dozens of local friends and neighbors. I feel that it is my responsibility to save my friends and the community at large from wasting a night out by dining here at MEZZO. "DON'T LET THE WHITE TABLE CLOTH FOOL YOU" It's a Deny's in disguise. read more

We visited Nicks for the first time this past week. Upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant offered a nice ambiance but was a bit on the loud side due to the close proximity of other patrons. As for the food, we ordered the Pilzknodel - (a Bread Dumpling) for a starter and Jaeger Schnitzel for the main course. The dumpling came out covered in a heavy mushroom sauce. I never had one before to compare it to, so it was just ok. Having been to Germany many times, I have had the opportunity to sample great Schnitzel at various restaurants. What I was served at Nicks, was two "very" thin slices of overcooked, pork tenderloin that did not appear to have any breadcrumbs coating; just floured, fried and covered in the heavy mushroom sauce. The side of Spaetzle was fine. As it was our first time to Nick's we didn't know what to expect but, we left quite disappointed with the meal. read more

Our first visit here. There is a paucity of German restaurants in our area so this a welcome relatively recent addition. Easy access and parking in the shopping area off Hungryneck and the IOP connector. It was a summer evening but the breeze was nice enough to sit outside. A nice varied selection of German beers was a bit pricey..but these are not otherwise widely available. Plus, knowing that small restaurants like this one depend on liquor to help their bottom line makes it worth the premium. The single bratwurst over creamy sauerkraut and roasted potatoes was billed as an appetizer but easily could have been a small meal on its own. Very flavorful! We split the main course beef stroganoff over spoetzle which, after the appetizer, was plenty for us. The meat was tender and the creamy sauce was one of the best stroganoffs I can remember, so the $32 price made it a good value even after the 2 dollar fee for spliting the plate. Our dining partners (who have travelled to Germany frequently) each had different schnitzel which they pronounced quite good as well. If you want to venture into a something other than the usual low country fare or have not had a chance to try German before this is a good place to start! read more

The best I have had ever. We went there because we missed the German place we use to go to in Tulsa, this was better and had more selections. Worth every dollar. read more

My third time visiting this great find in Mt. Pleasant. I love the European feel of this place. The tablecloths & candles set a wonderful tone for eating here. The original menu is small, and should be expanded with obvious frequent choices. However, their "chalk board" offers a little bit of various European dishes, Italian, German, French", so I'm sure you can find something to choose from. Everyone chose a different dish and all were happy. The hospitality stands out with this small place. The chef & hostess/owners go out of their way to ask for comments, service, and hospitality. In the company last Sat. with 6 Dining Divas, and if you can make 6 women all happy, you're doing a great job. read more

A cozy restaurant with excellent food and very attentive staff. Recommend it for special occasions.

Food is great but service is abysmal. Had a reservation (confirmed) and they couldn't find it. Then they "found it" and seated us. Then 5 minutes later asked us to get up because the table they gave us "belonged" to someone else. Unbelievable! Then they asked us to wait another 20 minutes at the bar so we could be seated. Do not bother with this place!!! Never again! I should note that we chose to leave Nick's and go to Burton's Grill where we had a great meal! Won't be back there again until they can get their reservations fixed. read more

Very good food. I had the pork Schnitzel mit Schpetzles. Added a side of Red cabbage. The place is a little small so you really need to get a reservation. They have a wine and beer license. I had a very good German Pilsner beer Bill S read more

Fantastic evening. Our server helped with menu selection, didn't rush us, and got us multiple plates without having to ask as my friend and I split our apps, main, and dessert. Small and upscale feel for the dining room. Pretzel and the potato dumpling - awesome! Spazle - both veggie and the salmon special - awesome! Ice cream for dessert - awesome! Only minor critique, but probably my taste was the Apple strudel wasn't what I thought. It was a thick roll and inside was chopped apples and raisins and way too much cinnamon that made it dry. Will definitely come back! read more

Nick's was wonderful! How could we have waited so long to go?? Food was great, service was excellent, ambiance was great - sat outside on a chilly evening, but the braziers and lap robes they provided were perfect. I'm ready to go again!! read more

Fantastic restaurant in every regard! If you have not tried Nick's German Kitchen, you should - it's fantastic in every category: food, service and ambiance. Traditional, high quality German food without the gimmicks. The owner, Nick is personable, knowledgeable and friendly. The wait staff is fantastic, full of smiles, attentive and helpful. The kitchen is the best - well made traditional specialties that are delicious...from the starters to the desserts - it was literally perfect. We will be back! read more

After traveling around town we saw this little restaurant. We had heard about this restaurant and decided to try it. We were very impressed with the food and service. We will definitely come to. read more

Small restaurant but excellent, authentic German food (my wife lived in Germany and knows the real thing). Fantastic friendly service. We were likely the only tourists in the restaurant. Appeared to be a locals' favorite. Nick is a great host. Highly recommend. read more

OMG the BEST ... the ONLY German place here. Service ambiance and the entire menu were superb.

Awesome! The atmosphere and express absolutely awesome. The server's are attentive, polite and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and prepared perfectly. The standard menu is small because their daily special menu is extensive. We had items off both and were not disappointed in any way. The soufflé needs to be ordered with dinner because it takes about 30 minutes to make and it is obvious why. We will definitely be back to Mezzo. read more

Made a reservation for 2 for this past Friday night...545pm. Glad we did since it was full by 6pm. Cool little place. Black forest schnitzel and the wurst trilogy plate were ordered. Fantastic on both entrees. Will return! read more

Food is excellent! Dining area is a little crowded. I'll go back next time I'm in Charleston.

Fabulous food!! Wow I loved my lumberjack schnitzel. It has all the things I love... bacon, breaded pork, potatoes, fried egg, and sauerkraut. Our waiter David was excellent and we loved dining outside. They had a heater and blankets and it was super cozy. To finish off the meal we got the Apple strudel which was very authentic and great. My husband especially liked it because it wasn't overly sweet. Definitely worth trying this great restaurant! Tuesday and Wednesday is schnitzel night by the way so you get a few dollars off. Also, the German beers on the menu were an experience. I got the hard Apple cider and really enjoyed it with my food. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! Five stars. read more

Good food. Traditional pork dish with german dumpling with pink cabbage. Hearty. Heated up easily the next day as portions were large. Owner welcoming and friendly. Good beer. Pleasant service. Busy. Small staff but attentive. Ambiance is pretty minimal read more

Nick's German Kitchen is AMAZING! The food is SO good and is now our family's favorite restaurant in the area. I had the Lumberjack and is was spectacular. This restaurant far exceeded our expectations and now goes to the top of the list to our #1 choice when we vacation in the area. Absolutely everything in the menu is delicious but make sure you leave room for apple strudel...yum! read more

The food was great. Service was very slow.I think they were understaffed. I would go back

Best German food I've ever had...even compared to the same entree in Germany! Highly recommend!!! Excellent service, chef checks in on everyone, great atmosphere! read more

Born and raised in Munich, it's hard to get me to eat German in the States. We discovered Nick's a year ago when we first moved from NJ. In my 35 years, it's the only German restaurant that I have gone back to, not once but as often as I can. Nick is amazing, his staff is professional and the food is incredible. When we walk in the door it's like going home, smiles greetings and they know my name!!! If you want great food.....Nicks is the place. read more

My reservation for 2 made 26 hours in advance requesting inside seating was denied even though there was an open table literally next to me when checked in. Offered either belly up to the bar or go outside. Opted for outdoors and seated next to a parking space in the lot. The was a bush there, which turned out to be good since the lizard living there got to snack on the constant flies all over the food and drinks. The $26.00 Frankfurter Schnitzel had stone cold melted cheese sauce on top of it and when asked the server about it she was surprised I was shocked. The only item still warm were the potatoes underneath the pork patties. After 7 hours on the road, I'd eat anything! The $10.00 Pfannkuchen Pancakes dessert were made with hershey syrup. At least the crepes were warm enough to melt the ice cream. I wrote a text message to the company and their response was "Thanks, we appreciate your feedback". Somehow I don't really think they did. read more

Small, nice comfortable authentic German spot. Food was great- and plenty of choices. A bit expensive, so not for a quick meal, but worth it for a nice dinner out. read more

Authentic German cuisine. We had appetizers and entrees that were excellent. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal.

Great food and great service the chicken spaetzle was amazing and the desserts we good as well.

Our new favorite restaurant!! We weren't expecting an experience that left us saying to ourselves wow, what an amazing place! I'll start with the service, Stephanie our waitress made us feel special and spoiled and we felt that same welcoming feel from all the staff. Kudos to the management for that! The restaurant is beautiful inside and has outdoor seating as well. The lit pillar candle, red rose and white table cloth gave a warm and romantic ambiance. Now for the food, it was exceptional! My husband requested a substitution on his dish and it was easily done. Their menu is small and my husband is a pescatarian but their daily specials are extensive and almost doubles their menu. We left with full bellies and happy hearts! It's not often we go out to eat and leave feeling joyful of our restaurant experience. THANK YOU!!! read more

The only authentic German food in Charleston! Everything from the food to the ambiance to the customer service is superb. We love Nick's!

Where do I start.. this place is a hidden gem. I found it on google and saw it was new without a lot of reviews. We thought we give it a chance. The ambiance is very cozy and romantic. I am originally from Germany. I thought that if I want this kind of food experience I have fly back. Until now there was no place in Charleston which blew me away like this one. I had the fettuccine with shrimp and my husband had the veal dish. Absolutely on point, both dishes solid 5 out of 5 stars. My personal highlight was the Apfelstrudel with refreshing vanilla ice cream. Amazing! My standards for food are very very high and this is in fact my first long yelp review. One day you will have to wait for a long time to get a table here. Stop by and see for yourself. We will be back and try the Schnitzel and the Spätzle next! read more
