Attended a birthday party at this restaurant, first ever time being there after driving by it for many years. Let's keep it simple. Food is very good! Flavors are there in the dishes served. Shrimp with pasta Alfredo - excellent flavor, shrimp cooked well (not overcooked). Pasta is great. Shrimp in garlic sauce - maybe scampi. Also excellently made. Fried calamari- not the best ever, but well cooked. Has that crisp that you expect. Marinara is yummy. What I'm not thrilled about, service. Got a table of 14 people. Waiter comes by asks maybe half the table for drink orders and disappears. Bussing empty plates is very slow. Checking on the table is occasional. Far from ideal. They brought dessert but no coffee or tea without requests. A big table needs more attention than a table of 2. Would I come back? Yea probably. Their outdoor deck is nice. Except for the mosquitos. Citronella candles on the table don't exactly set the mood read more

Very nice service. Accommodating as to our table preference. Reservation held on Resy. Private parking lot. Easy on and off the Belt. Otherwise pretty average. Nothing outstanding food or drink wise. 1.7 pound stuffed lobster $81. The stuffing was mostly breadcrumbs but the lobster was fresh and tasty. Baked potato and corn. Hubby had pork chop. $44. Cooked fine. Slightly dry but not awful. Flavorful with cherry peppers and veggies. The steamers were great but the mixture of white and red clam chowder was too thin. Grey goose dirty martini was good as was a mezcal margarita. Didn't stay for dessert. Wasn't thrilled. Was all ok but won't be back. read more

Came here as part of a party of seven to celebrate my mother in law's birthday with family. Great ambiance, delicious food and great service!! We chose Meal Package #2 from the website. For food options, we chose Greek Salad, Sweet Thai Chili Chicken Wings, Fried Shrimp, Penne with Broccoli, Garlic and Oil, Penne with Vodka Sauce, Salmon, and Flank Steak. We added the juice and soda option per person, and as it was my mother in law's birthday they brought out a cake and ice cream plate and coffee and a sparkling candle. That added a perfect touch to the festivities. Daphne and the rest of the staff made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you Daphne. WE APPRECIATE YOU!!! If you're looking for delicious food with a reasonably priced per person option for large groups, I would definitely suggest coming here. I wouldn't hesitate to come back again read more

Hit me here randomly over the weekend and yet again everything was amazing. Was immediately seated near the window for a nice view of the water. Had a mango margarita pitcher, which wasn't too strong (could've been better). Also had some oysters and a lobster roll. Wish the lobster roll had a different sauce, but they definitely gave great chunks of meat in a high quantity of it. I wonder what I'm gonna get the next time I come. read more

Went to Nick's Lobster for a date night with my hubby during Restaurant Week. The location is definitely a highlight, right by the water, and I can already picture how lovely this spot must be in the summer. We would absolutely love to come back when the weather is warm. The service was impeccable. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of all evening. Now, let's get to the food. I started with the Caesar salad, but the dressing was a bit too anchovy forward for my taste, so I didn't really enjoy it. My husband had the lobster bisque. It was very creamy, but there was hardly any lobster in it. We both ordered the grilled octopus. I wasn't a fan, but my husband enjoyed it, especially paired with the lime based slaw. On the side, we ordered the fried calamari, which was one of the highlights. The calamari was tender, and the sauce really made the dish. For our main entrées, I had the whole lobster, which unfortunately was overcooked and lacked flavor. My husband ordered the snow crab legs and really enjoyed them. Dessert was the best part of the evening. I had the red velvet cake and he had the key lime pie. Hands down my favorite dish of the night. I'm not sure if the experience was impacted by Restaurant Week, but between the beautiful location and great service, I'm willing to give Nick's Lobster another try, especially during the summer. read more

Lovely restaurant. The atmosphere and our view from the bar was amazing. I try the lobster roll and had a margarita. Service was outstandin. The lobster roll was fresh and the bread was warm. The Mayo with the lemon gave it a good taste. read more

Came here for restaurant week with my sister in law. The food was delicious! We had a great time. The service was great. We ended up staying and chatting for like 6 hours until they closed! No one chased us out which was nice. We had a great experience. Heads up - there is an additional charge for a credit card. read more

How much is a potato worth??? Two local customers, apparently. We have been Nick's customers for years, having dined in for special occasions and hosting out of town guests. We went in tonight for a birthday dinner, ordering the two lobster dinners with a coupon. We also ordered a dozen oysters, 4 cocktails and a beer, and upgraded the lobsters with "seafood" (bread) stuffing. Total bill came to just under $190 -- including a $6 potato. You see, the coupon was for "two lobster dinners", which we assumed meant two complete dinners. My wife was served her stuffed lobster, a half corn on the cob and a baked potato. My plate had all but the potato, so I inquired about it. The runner said "only one per table" and quickly walked off. I thought nothing of it and asked one of the servers for it and she bought one out to me. We were in the middle of our dinner when our original server returned and stated that only one of the dinners came with a potato, WHAT?! She then asked another server to bring us the check. I then discovered we were charged 6 bucks for the baked potato which she never disclaimed to us. Needless to say I was disgusted by the pettiness of this, including the behavior of our inattentive server. Manager sensed something was wrong and inquired, but by then I already paid and wanted to leave. (I was still classy enough to leave a tip) Not sure if I'd go back... read more

I ordered the thai chili wings on June 1, 2026 for $14.00. It only came with 6 wings, 5 flats and 1 drum, and they were the smallest wings that I've ever seen with no more than 1 or 2 bites for each. They were so delicious, but the price for that amount and size of the wings is absurd. Nobody picks up the phone no matter what option you choose. I tried so many times to call ahead for pickup which is option one, but no answer for that option or any other option. read more

I went there the other night & when I tell you I had an amazing night, I truly did. From the vibes, the ambiance, service, music, location & food, it was all so incredible. Everyone was very sweet & welcoming. The outdoor seating is very nice & had a wonderful view of the water with nice lighting at night. They do however, have indoor seating as well. I also have to commend the staff for being so kind. Our server was very friendly, sweet, attentive & provided an exceptional service that added points to such a wonderful birthday dinner celebration. The drinks, appetizers, entrees & the birthday cake were all so beautifully made & seasoned perfectly. The food was definitely fresh & cooked perfectly. I find the prices pretty good considering the quality in the food & service. Yes a gratuity is already added but we don't care about that since we added more to the tip anyway. It was all worth it & will definitely be coming back. This would be a place I highly recommend. There was also a photographer there who was such a sweetheart. We took pictures & bought a few that were framed in a glass picture frame. Definitely one for the books! Sorry about the lack of photos, I took quick ones but I really just love to live in the moment so I didn't really take my time with it read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and so much has changed. The flavored piña coladas are delicious. Go with mango. Everything tastes good but individual preferences matter. The lobster bisque is top notch but don't expect much actual lobster. Lobster cream pasta is worth the wait too. Maybe skip the lobster roll unless you're a fiend for it. The interior is spacious and has nice views. Service was slow but that may be due to the party in the back room read more

THE OG BROOKLYN SEAFOOD RESTAURANT Nick's Lobster House is a family-owned company that is comprised of a restaurant including an outdoor deck, seafood market and waterfront event venue on the Mill Basin waterfront. They are etched into Brooklyn's rich food history since 1955. It actually is still owned by the family of "Big Nick", the local fisherman that decided to sell lobsters on Flatbush Ave over 60 years ago. Most recently, I came here for a family function and had a good ole time. The service was on point for our large group and so were the drinks. I started off with a glass of the famous "Hurricane Nick" then the table ended up with a quart based on my glowing review. Shoutout to the chef who made the most wonderfully creamy Alfredo that I have ordered at a restaurant in a long time. I also noticed that they offer a $32 Prix Fixe Lunch Menu now so I will definitely be back soon to try it out! I recommend that you stop on in when in the Kings Plaza/Mill Basin area. You won't be disappointed. read more

Honestly was not very hungry when we dined. It was an unplanned visit as we were on the way to another event later on. Just needed a quick bite and noticed that the parking lot was almost empty (they had just opened for the day) . Glad we went in because this place can usually be packed. We decided to sit on the patio since it was nice out and wanted to enjoy the waterside view. We got the fried calamari, organic chicken (buffalo)wings ,Caesar salad and a Greek salad. Staff was friendly and a food came out in a reasonable length of time ( prepared upon order) . Calamari was very fresh and batter was light and crunchy. Dressing on Caesar was yummy. Chicken wings were small ( no hormonal bloat) but delicious. Prices here are on the medium to medium high range. It was enjoyable sitting outside and taking in the breeze ( they also have fans on the patio for warmer times) This is a nice place to enjoy a cocktail and views. They did have a photographer who asked if he could take pics and print for sale to us but I declined. read more

Was here recently to catch up with some of my sorors before we get busy in the chapter again and we had an amazing time. The restaurant is right on the water. We went on a beautiful sunny day and were seated outside. It felt like we were somewhere else instead of Brooklyn! It's beautiful. The establishment seemed well maintained and clean. It's also quite large so a lot of guests can dine here. The service was great and the food was delicious. I ordered the surf n turf burger and liked the flavor and quality. The others in my group had the lobster roll and enjoyed it. The drinks were tasty too. I had a frozen rum punch drink that was cooling in this summer heat. I'd definitely come again. They're open all year round and I'm sure the place is packed on the weekends. Consider a reservation if you plan to check them out on the weekend. I'd definitely return to sit outside by the water again and pretend I'm somewhere else enjoying friends and the food. read more

My first time trying this restaurant. I have driven by it several times and have always wanted to try it. Ordered the lobster cream. Added an extra tail with it. Aside from the extra tail that they charge $36 for, there was no other lobster in it. Also paid for double mushrooms. An additional $6. Pasta barely had any. If you are charging so much for a dish, shouldn't it have lobster in it and any paid for extras in it? I won't be back. Overpriced and false advertising. read more

The food is really good, but the restaurant is disgusting. I had hoped I'd find a well-preserved vintage seafood restaurant with dark wood, lanterns, netting, etc. like the Lobster House in Cape May. While I was disappointed to walk in and see it had been updated, I was confused how it could simultaneously be updated and totally rundown. It just seemed kind of gross and dirty. read more

The food at Nick's has always been fantastic. I LOVE the New England clam chowder so much. Can't wait to go back.

This is my second time coming here with the family. We always have a great time here. Great vibes and beautiful views. Our waiter Ricardo was super excellent. He was very attentive and super informative with the specials they had that day. There is a variety of food option to choose from. For those who are not seafood lovers they have steak and chicken options. Food is delicious here. Nick's Lobster House is a perfect place to celebrate birthdays, anniversary and date night. Outdoor seating is closed for the season, but the indoor has great views of the marina. You are able to watch the sunset. Drinks and food are both delicious. For starters we started out with the sweet chili Thai wings and fried calamari. The wings are really good. Just the right amount of spice and sweetness. The fried calamari is nice and crispy. Our main course we ordered Prime Ribeye Steak, NY Strip Steak, Lobster cream pasta with shrimp, chicken parmesan shrimp alfredo, Manhattan clam chowder and seafood broil special. For dessert we ordered the Tuxedo Bombe and Divine Chocolate Lava Cake. FYI if you share your experience on google, you get to enjoy a free dessert. read more

Food- 3.5/5 Service- 4/5 Ambiance- 5/5 This was my first time and certainly not my last, eating at Nicks Lobster House. I had the lunch special which starts at $30 for 3 courses! The first option is a soup or salad, then an appetizer followed by an entree. Nice selection and tasty dishes to choose from. Ordered a Shirley temple which tasted delightful! Started with the chicken soup which had a nice thin angel hair noodle inside of it. Next time I'd get the salad. Then I had the wings which were cooked to PERFECTION! Nice size good flavor great preparedness! The calamari was ok. Lastly I had the chicken parm. Good flavor and tasty. 2 thumbs up and will def. return to try more things read more

First time to be here and was invited for a dinner to celebrate a graduation. I used to lived in a nearby neighborhood for almost 10 years and kinda funny that I never got a chance to try out this place. We arrived a bit early and I got some Iced tea by the bar. Kinda disappointing that the Iced tea is watered down. Taste more of a syrup and no trace of tea anymore. The celebrant/host got us a really good set of food. The lobster tastes good, size are well suited as well and I would say fresh. We had this pasta as well and we all like it. The mussels are relatively small but taste good specially the sauce. I need to figure out that sauce's recipe. =D Overall, the place is good, ample parking, nice staff, bar is below standard (iced tea), the long table arrangement could very well be improved, and that's it. read more

Lots of big chunks of clams. Diced, minced, miced, sliced and super diced!!!. Not much sauce at all. Welll if you're not a sauce guy then it's good. Would have like red sauce but it's advertised as an Alfredo sauce. It's NIT saucey. Anyway. I did like it. But to each their own. It's 34 bucks yooooo go get yours!!!!! read more

In a showdown between Nick's and Clemente's, two seafood restaurants near each other, serving almost identical menu items, offering similar experiences, who is better? Ambiance Both are right on the marina that empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Both are right near the Belt Parkway. Both have on site parking. This is pretty much a push. Edge: Push Service Clemente's carries a bit of a younger vibe, especially in its wait staff. Generally speaking I found the service younger there and older here at Nick's. The service here is slightly faster but also has a bit less people. Less does not always mean more, but they do a slightly better job moving food across the people. It was starting to get busy as the dinner rush rolled on, whereas Clemente's has a nonstop rush. Edge: Clemente's Food I ordered here the fish tacos and a shrimp scampi. While I ordered less here than I did at Clemente's, Nick's I feel does better justice for our nautical neighbors. The food tastes fresher, the respect is higher, and less of a push out. Clemente's threw it in front of me and hoped for the best. Edge: Nick's but slightly Overall What really makes one better than the other is really up to you. If you want a bit of a party and livelier feel, Clemente's has that. For a more quieter, more family friendly vibe, you go with Nick's. In the end, it is all a matter of preference because the food items are identical in many ways. It just depends on how you want it done and what you want out of it. read more

1- The service is subpar 2- The food quality is par at best 3- MOST Importantly!!, be Aware of the automatically included 18% gratuity fee if/when your bill is $200+ 3A- who agrees that a service business it self should decide whether or not the customer pays a gratuity and not only that they also decide the amount? 3B- regardless if the service and or food sucks?? 4- ordered a beer "Yuengling" as stated on the menu, was served a Yuengling black and tan opened after waiting 20mins. read more

Another great year at Nick's for Valentine's Day. Service & menu was incredible. Thank you for keeping the chicken parm on the limited menu for my partner who hates seafood.

I visited on SAT evening. Here is the break-down of my points: Food: 2 stars - appetizer mussels were too salty. lobster roll was burnt and hard. Drink: 2 stars - wine was stale Waiting: 1 star - I waited about 40-45 min for a table for 2. Had to wait another 30+ minutes for food. I didn't get to eat for about 1.5 hours after I arrived. Parking lot: 1 star - space is intentionally way narrow to pack more cars. Service: 3.5 stars - not bad Location/ View: 4 stars - Outdoor deck right on the water. Great atmosphere. Overall experience: 2 stars. they seemed too busy. the food was mediocre at best. waterfront decor is the best thing going for them. wouldn't go for 2nd visit. read more

A solid 3 stars reviews. Ambiance - 10/10 Food is 7/10 I had a white sauce paste tasted extremely bland and the clams had a lot of sand in it. The portion size was big but for the price it made sense. Skirt steak - ordered medium rare but came back as a medium . Flavor was there 7/10 Calamaris - 8/10 Calm chowder soup - 6/10 - very liquid and no clams, mild flavor. Octopus - 8/10 - the best of our meals Lobster tail - 8/10 - decent sizes Food took forever to come but it was fine since we were eating the appetizers . tips - Becareful when you spilt the bills amongst your friends. The % of the tips is based on the entire bill and not based on the spilt bill. You would have to do customized tips and calculate the tips based on the spilt bill. read more

I came here for lunch with a group of 4 people on a Saturday afternoon. There's a lot of seating and the tables by the window are definitely the prime spot for the waterfront view of Mill Basin. Three of us ordered the $32 prix fixe lunch deal for soup or salad, appetizer (wings or calamari), and entree (fish and chips, shrimp scampi, salmon sandwich, fried shrimp with fries, burger, or lobster roll with fries) which is an insanely good deal. The other person ordered the snow crab legs which came with a baked potato and corn. I had the prix fixe lunch with French onion soup, calamari, and the Connecticut lobster roll with Old Bay seasoned fries. The portions were large and it was a lot of food. Overall, the food was fresh and delicious. I really liked the French onion soup and the lobster roll. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely come back! It's an excellent seafood restaurant with a great view. read more

We came Saturday night to celebrate my sisters last chemo treatment. We were ambivalent about going because the last time we're were there it was during the end of covid and it was awful. What a complete turnaround! Service was outstanding as was the food. We both ordered 1.4 lb lobsters oreganata and they were incredible. Juicy, succulent and flavorful. Perfectly cooked. We actually got lobster forks this time too. We shared a salad as well. The salad was a green salad with goat cheese, almonds and cranberries. It was pretty small for the price but everything now seems overpriced. The lobsters were @ $56 per pound. Dinner for 2 came to $200 - no drinks no desserts. read more

04/06/23: It's been years since I've been to Nicks. On a recent trip to Kings Plaza needed a spot to fill hungry bellies. They must have renovated I don't remember it being as large and various seating arrangements. Greeted graciously upon entering and was seated within minutes. Drinks Frozen Margarita with hibiscus syrup: wasn't to my liking the flavor didn't work for me. Megroni: my friend enjoyed Appetizers Grilled Octopus: great flavor, consistency just right. New England clam chowder: creamy, potatoes, well balanced also enjoyed Clams Oreganta: just ok for me needed a bit more flavor to make it pop. However, there was sauce that increased the flavor. Additionally..don't judge..we added cocktail sauce. It definitely elevated the taste. Shrimp Cocktail: firm, fresh and tasty with the cocktail sauce. Mains Branzino: wasn't expecting entire fish but afterwards our server stated I could have asked for it to be fillet. For me needed a little bit more spice and I felt it could have been cooked a little longer. However I added some of the sauce from my friends Halibut and taste definitely went up a few notches hence I asked for some on the side. Accompanied veggies and potatoes had a nice flavor. Halibut: well seasoned, flaky not fishy as other places. The sauce delicious. Lastly we had a complimentary sample of Guinness cheesecake yes you heard correctly. It was tasty had a chocolate taste , but not being a chocolate fan wasted on me but my friend enjoyed and I think chocolate lovers would appreciate that unique twist on a cheesecake. With our seating overlooking the water, Alejandro our amazing server, good evening had by all! To top it all off it is listed on seated so earning cash back always a winner.
