Karaoke, absolutely amazing bar tenders, beach side, fun atmosphere, good drinks, did I mention amazing bar tenders, and beach side. What else do you need from a fun bar?

Hot dog, fries and skinny marg
Sable S.

I got rained out on the beach and rushed in here. The inside was nicer than I expected. I sat at the bar and the bartenders quickly helped me. The food came out quickly and it was decent. I'll likely return, but the crowd is a bit unusual.

The oysters on the half shell were nice and briny. They came with plenty of lemon. How come I'm not here more often? The bartenders at the outside counter are excellent. Joe stayed one step ahead of everything. The view of the ocean was perfect. If you've never been to Nick's, you have to stop in. The food is tried and true. It's an upbeat atmosphere with great choices for drinks.

Years ago I will come to Nick's and go out to the beach in the summertime in front of Nick's and enjoy the beach. And then walk back to Nick's get some margaritas some conch fritters or some peel and eat shrimp and that was the highlight of the day. It's been a few years since I've been here and I guess what they say is correct, nothing stays the same. I ordered me a margarita and a order of comforters which is usually what I get they were always so good. This time the margarita was good taste about the same as I remember it. The conch fritters we're good but not as great as I remember them. If you are on the beach visiting especially in the summertime you want something to munch on a cold drink then yes I would definitely recommend next for some small bites.

Mango daiquiri
Jennifer D.

Took a late night/ early morning walk down the beach, and got a bit thirsty and since it was 2am not much was open. But then we found Nicks an oasis with a walk up window! We didn't even have to go inside. Ordered a Mango daiquiri with a float of Hennessey it was perfect. Bar tender was fun and attentive. Beautiful view from the bar. We will be back next time we're in town.

11.4.25 This, bar/restaurant is located right on the boardwalk across from the ocean. The location couldn't be any better. It's a very active busy place at any given time of day. It's a spot for the locals and obviously for loads of people vacationingdown here. It holds a dear place in my heart at I've been here dozens upon dozens of times, on and off for more than several years. Any time I've been here the service had always been great. They've always been very happy & hospitable. They're always very active and fast. You can sit inside, or at one of the windows inside looking out at the ocean and/or people watching. You can even sit outside at one of the tables on the boardwalk and enjoy the sunny weather and the food or cocktails. It's always been a great spot to meet up. The food is good, not great, but great service, fantastic location, location location with reasonable prices. Very fresh salads & crisp cold cocktails. They've been here for years and probably will be for plenty of more years to come. Keep doing what you've been doing and keep up the tremendous work you do for many of us who come and enjoy time with you. Thank you thank you.

I came by to hang out with a few buddy's. Parking is ready on a motorcycle. It's located right on the board walk so there's plenty of people watching. This evening was a bunch of people doing TikTok broadcasting. Maria was great as bar tender. She was on top of our drinks very quickly.

Blackened mahi
Michael P.

No trip to Hollywood Beach is complete without a visit to Nick's! Located directly on the Broadwalk with full views of the beach, indoor or outdoor seating and a fresh ocean breeze with both. Live entertainment every night and they are open late, until 4am. The food is always good and the drinks are, as well. You can even get your drinks to go! The blackened Mahi is a favorite entree and the turkey wrap is huge - makes the perfect beach lunch for 2. Their wings are crispy and the garlic parm sauce is delish... Especially at 1 am with a nice cold beer!

Laura R.

The perfect after hours beach front restaurant and bar with a big local following. The two rum & cokes were heavy pours and complimented my chips, hummus, veggies and hot peppers. Sat at the end of the bar with a clear view of the boardwalk. Friendly staff and very busy.

Robert S.

We stopped here for a bite to eat....there were not many 4 or 5 star review businesses on the Broadwalk, so this place was a big contender. We got a table outside and our server was very nice and efficient. We got some Mahi fingers (lightly battered and fried) and a burger. The mahi fingers were not crispy at all and they were very bland...even dipping them in the tartar sauce helped... The burger was not bad, juicy and large...the fries were crispy. Overall an average bar and grill experience on the Broadwalk.

Reen K.

I've been to Nick's several times and the food and drinks are great. We ordered wings, shrimp basket and etc. The waitress was very nice, the bar is stocked well, the food is deliciousand the employees are really nice. We will definitely be back soon.

Food was great, bartender had attitude issues. The service was good food came out fast. It was casual and easy going.

Seafood salad wrap and seafood dip
Cherie W.

Nick's Bar & Grill absolutely nailed it. The seafood dip was amazing--rich, flavorful, and perfectly creamy--and the seafood salad wrap was just as good, packed with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. Great food, great vibes, and a perfect stop on Hollywood Beach. Seating right out on the boardwalk too. Highly recommend.

You can see by all the reviews I wrote about this restaurant, that we are very good customers. And…read moreI tried to be fair about the meals I get there. We are very please of the quality of our food and the servers. Yes a few time I had to write négatif reviews, because I like to tell the true story. Last week we hit the jackpot with the wonderful server we had. It is sad that most the time he works in the evening , and most our outing are at lunch. So, this time he was our lunch server . His name was JOSE, I can say, after all the time we eat at that restaurant he was one of the best servers, he had nice personality, we could see that he liked Is job, hope next time I go back , that he will be working, beside the great tuna lunch we had , he completed our nice outing . Bravo JOSE .

Sadly, we were disappointed with our experience…read more I decided to bring my mom here for her birthday dinner, and we came with the whole family. Making an online reservation was effortless, and we were seated promptly, so our visit started off on a positive note. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was underwhelming. Our server was friendly, but the service overall was very slow. It took quite a while for him to check back with us, and he wasn't very familiar with the menu. We had to remind him of the side options that came with our meals, which was surprising. While he was pleasant, the level of service just wasn't what we expected. The food was average and didn't really stand out. We all ordered the three-course special. We started with the tortilla soup and the chili, but both arrived only lukewarm, which was disappointing. For the entrées, my steak was tough, not very tender, and also wasn't served hot. The mashed potatoes were actually the highlight of my plate--they were flavorful and well prepared. The ribs were tender. The salmon entrée was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant wasn't busy during our visit, which made the slow service and long wait for our food even more surprising. We also noticed other tables that had been waiting even longer than we had, with meals taking an unusually long time to come out. Overall, this just wasn't the birthday dinner experience we were hoping for. While the staff was courteous, the slow service and average food make it unlikely that we'll return. Hopefully they're able to improve, because the restaurant has potential, but unfortunately this visit missed the mark for us.

Classic American ice cream parlor with creative and amazing flavors for everyone to choose from!!…read more Every time I'm back home in South Florida, I always make it a must to stop by here for a sweet treat. I've had their ice cream sundaes in the past and they're delicious! They even offer ice cream by the scoops (cup or cone), milkshakes/malts, ice cream sodas, and freezes. We stopped by last week after craving a sweet treat on a hot and sunny day. Our son has been into cookies and cream milkshakes lately so we decided to get two milkshakes. What I really like about this place is that they have a take out window for quick and on the go orders. I've dined in a few times in the past which the restaurant is so nostalgic with all the decor. The staff are friendly and efficient. We didn't wait long for our milkshakes. Our son absolutely loved his Oreo cookie milkshake. I have to admit that I've never tried their savory dishes but it definitely gives us a good reason to come back the next time we visit. We will be back!

I am not someone who typically leaves negative reviews, but this experience really upset me…read more We had heard this was a historic ice cream parlor, so we decided to go out of our way to check it out. While we were waiting in line, my 22-year-old daughter and her 19-year-old friend went inside to look around and browse the items for sale. They were approached by a female employee who rudely asked what they were doing. Fortunately, a nearby gentleman spoke up and said that they were clearly just looking around at the merchandise. My daughter ordered a double scoop without realizing how enormous it would be. The $14 double scoop on a waffle cone was literally about to topple over. Because the line was very long, I didn't want to cut in front of other customers just to ask for a cup. Instead, I stepped inside and asked an employee if I could have one to help save the ice cream from disaster. He gladly handed me a cup, and I politely thanked him. As I was transferring the ice cream, the same rude employee came outside and told me that I should have gotten back in line and waited for a cup. She barked, "The cups cost 50 cents extra." I responded that I would have been happy to pay the 50 cents, but we were having an ice cream emergency. Her response was, "Next time, wait in line and pay for the cup!" Keep in mind, I had just spent $38 plus a tip on two cones and a malt. I'm pretty sure I could afford the extra 50 cents. Needless to say, we won't be a next time. Ever. People who don't like dealing with customers shouldn't be working in customer service. Oh, and according to the girls, the ice cream wasn't life-changing, either.

We've seen their sign for a couple of years now on Federal heading north between Hollywood and…read moreSheridan. The name never landed with us as it sounded like a standalone food court. It was the sign underneath that read, "Too tired to cook today?" that made us take notice. Looking at the online menu we found that it was not only a who's who of Latin dishes of different nationalities, but they also served bar fare - chicken wings, burgers, quesadillas, etc. Not knowing what their specialty was, we never committed to it. But today was one of those days where we felt like something different and we took a chance. The gamble paid off big. The menu was all over the place, so not knowing what direction to go in, I addressed the waiter who was all too ready to help. He pointed me to some of his faves: the Bandeja Paisa, Lomo Saltado, and Ropa Vieja. I'd had my eye on the Lomo Saltado, a popular Peruvian stir fry dish. The Bandeja Paisa is Colombian, and the Ropa Vieja - Cuban. I asked him what the nationality of the ownership was, when he revealed it was Colombian. I was immediately skeptical of ordering the ropa vieja - being half Cuban, I could not fathom the idea of a Colombian-owned restaurant pulling this off. So Joe took one for the team there. The waiter assured me that everything he has tried has in fact been delectable. But hey, what else is he supposed to say? But no, he assured me these were not marketing words, but words of experience. So I went for the Lomo Saltado which was served with black beans and rice, and french fries. He didn't hesitate to vouch for the black beans... I think he sensed my Colombian skepticism. Joe had replaced his fries for sweet plantains, so I took his cue and substituted my fries for tostones. But, not before warning the waiter that I would be particularly particular about the quality of my favorite plantain dish. He gave me a confident nod - so I played along. Joe's dish came out a few seconds before mine, and being the impatient carnivore that I am, I (let's say borrowed) his ropa vieja before he had a chance to pick up his fork. I was very pleasantly surprised. On par with any old clothes I have tried at any Cuban restaurant... and even better than some, albeit in longer strands than I've experienced. However, extremely juicy, full of flavor and tender. Then came my Lomo. I'm a first-timer, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was fan-tastic. A bit charred outside with a juicy medium innard that cuts like butter, and to my relief, deceivingly tender. The lomo napped on a bed of sautée-charred veggies whose sweetness was a nicely balanced contrast to the savory meat. The black beans were definitely on point and seasoned with Colombian love. And those ten-ton-tostones!!! By far the thickest fried medallions I've had, but with a brutally loud crunch and still a real easy chew. And unlike John Travolta in a black T-Bird jacket, totally Greaseless. Often times, tostones of this variety are tough and as chewable as week-old yellow paper mache. Nope, these are some of the best tostones I've had in a couple of years. But by far the best of their kind. I also borrowed one of Joe's sweet plantations which once again left no trace of greased lightning and were rendered a perfect dark brown with a nice and plush sunshine yellow inside. The portions were more than generous and the price was comfortably modest. I expressed my deepest gratitude to our waiter for his patience and his spot on recommendations. He also swore by their burger which he had just sampled for the first time and which is made partly with Colombian chorizo and served with a side of chimichurri. Chorizo and chimichurri for little cha-ching.... I'm sure I'll be chowing on that real soon. Food Corner is a cornucopia of Latin influences, and so far, it's also a master of two of them.

I will say the only thing that is stuff about this place is how crazy it can get and difficult it may be to find a table. But once you have a table you can order everything at the bar and they'll bring it to you. They have seasonal beers as well as year round beers and everything that they make, for the most part is made in their Brewery aside from their guest pours. I recently was here and tried a couple of the October seasonal beers and let me say their pumpkin spice latte beer was out of this world. They also had a marshmallow Style Beer and it had a nice little peanut flavor. It basically tasted like a liquid fluffernutter !
