Top notch roast beef and pork. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Corner bar atmosphere and consistently great service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Been going there for over 20 years read more

Came here for lunch on a weekend and there were plenty of seating available. Service was excellent. We came with our toddler and the restaurant staff were so attentive and accommodating. I've only been to the South Philly location so it's nice to know there is another location that is more spacious and family friendly. The roast beef sandwich is equally as good here compared to the Philly location. I usually order the roast beef combo, overboard (the meat can be a little dry without gravy) and then add horseradish and yellow peppers at the table. My toddler also enjoyed her deconstructed ham combo. The sandwiches do not feel heavy surprisingly, maybe because the Kaiser role is quite airy but also does a great job absorbing the gravy. I can easily finish one on my own. I also really enjoy the gravy fries here but they're a bit salty and heavy so I just stick with the sandwich if I don't want to deal with a food coma afterwards. read more

ALL 4 STARS go to the food... server is rude - miserable and shouldn't be in the restaurant business.

Nick's Old Original Roast Beef - An exceptional member of the team at Nick's Roast Beef - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Pennsylvania

Service is lacking depending on the bar tender you get. Great food though. My experience today was that I waited quite awhile before I ordered. When I did order, I had to ask for my drinks, I guess she forgot. Ordered a regular coke, got a diet. Never got my onion rings. She said I didn't order them. Even if I didn't you don't say that to the customer, maybe something like "I'm sorry I just have missed thst" would be better. It was a small simple order. So I just left my food and drinks and $40 to cover the bill. Best to visit the Bar when Jeff is around. I think I'm an overly nice person, so I just don't get it read more

I was born and raised in Kansas City, MO; I grew up eating Deli foods (all delicious) in Labow's Delicatessen, my mom and dad's place. However, in the city I always had the roast beef sandwiches at 12th and Main, that I still remember as the best beef sandwiches I've ever eaten. However, having lived in Philly area for over 50 years now, I have searched for and found the best roast beef I could find to get "locally" that comes pretty close to the KC sandwiches I had growing up with. I first found them at Nick's in the heart of Philly and now have them about a 10 minute drive from my current home in Springfield, PA. Nick's is the number 2nd favorite roast beef sandwich I have ever had in 77 years of searching for one. Nick's Old Original is the only one to get! I keep looking and trying, but these are still the best I can find. I really miss my KC beef, but Nick's is the only one I can recommend around Philadelphia. There was a great place, Arthur Bryant's, near the old baseball park in KC, MO (where we went to see the KC Blues play in the 1940's and 50's) but I suspect it no longer exists; if it does, try it if you are in Kansas City and post your findings. We used to get a pound of beef and a loaf of sliced bread, and sit in Bryant's making and eating sandwiches before sneaking over to the game and watch it through the chainlink fence around the outfield. read more

Nick's Roast Beef is a family-owned and -operated eatery that has been around the late '30s! They have 2 other locations - one in Philly, and one in West Chester. The menu is pretty straightforward, offering a variety of their roast beef sandwiches and sides (such as fries, mozzarella sticks, broccoli rabe, etc.). We did a call-ahead and did a carry-out from here, ordering: +roast beef - Liscio's Kaiser roll with hand-carved slow-roasted USDA prime roast beef slices and homemade gravy +onion rings I just wished that we had ordered it dry with the beef au jus on the side - probably a user error on my end! Having it with wet meat (meat is wet, but not the roll), still made the sammie soggy; I also think that it would have been more flavorful when dipped in the hot au jus, as when we consumed ours, it was more on the bland side. I am thinking that this is a place where you should order and eat your items right away when it's nice and freshly prepared, because the last thing you want is to heat up a roast beef sandwich! The onion rings were super tasty, with a great batter and it was perfectly crispy. Staff is friendly here, and, boy, does this place get busy! I'd love to return to dine on-site! +eat the sandwiches on site! +tasty onion rings! +friendly staff read more

Great food and service... Love the new addition / ckn.fingers - yummmm [[HIGHLIGHT]]All 3 locations are amazing..[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've personally eaten at all ... [[HIGHLIGHT]]family oriented[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and Springfield has the best bar manager- Jeff Amichetti ( he's my boyfriend ) -definitely knows how to upgrade anyone's experience ... beef is my fav.. love that I can get done well ... read more

Ham combo with gravy is a must. Service was great and food always great. Vibe was awesome.

Nick's is consistently very good and has excellent service so if you are dining here you will not be disappointed! My go to is the overboard beef combo with a side of gravy fries. The beef is flavorful and tender and the fries are smooth in the beef gravy with pieces of beef and the crispy ends. read more

Always a nice atmosphere. Good music and they also have sports on the TV. Roast beef combo is my choice with gravy fries. For an alternative I do the pork combo with broccoli rabe. read more

Nick's Old Original Roast Beef - Gravy frys and on the out roast beef sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Pennsylvania

The beef sandwiches are out of this world but they're rather dry, unless you pay more than you should for a tiny cup of au jus. Depending on your server, you may be made to feel as if you've just asked them to open a vein when you ask for that cup. read more

My only criticism of every Nick's location is their toilet paper-esque napkins. Everything on the menu is delicious (Yes, you've never gotten the roast turkey have you? Guess what it's also delicious) but how have they not moved around funds for better napkins? read more

This is the one and only genuine bar roast beef sandwich that I grew up with, and still taste the same. They're so good I personally can eat two and most people that try them for the first time may agree, that one more bite craving is real and order another. Growing up in South Philadelphia Nicks was a shot and beer bar that had the best roast beef,sandwiches. No fries back then and there was no other place to consider. This was the best. read more

I was out in the area late and looking to see where I could grab some quick food befor going home at night. It was around midnight and I happened to see Nick's was open until 1:15am and it was a 5 minute drive from where I was. Popped in and it was fairly empty with probably some locals around the bar and music playing. I thought I was relatively hungry and ordered two roast beef sandwiches and an order of gravy fries to go. Guy at the bar was friendly and the guy working the kitchen was fast. Fresh basket of fries dropped and I was watching how the sandwich was made. A large hunk of beef that looked to be a cross of a roast beef and a pot roast. It was all handsliced, he was so fast and he was slicing amazingly thin. And he just kept stacking! A quick splash of gravy over the meat and on the inside of the top part of the roll, then wrapped in foil. Fries were put in a little paper tray, then got a huge scoop of shredded/chopped beef and the gravy. My ride home was about 35 mins (food smelled amazing in the car) and the food was still relatively warm when I ate. While the beef was more well done, the way it was sliced made for an incredibly tender sandwich and the juice/gravy was just the right bit if beef/onion/garlic. Fries had soaked up a lot but there was so much meat with them as well. Eyes were probably bigger than my stomach at that hour and I saved the second sandwich for the next day. Ate it cold out of the fridge and it was fine like that. Definitely going to pop in when I'm in the area. read more

See all

Rolled into Nick's with a teen son about 10pm on a Friday following a Phillies game. We were greeted at the bar immediately and placed an order for take out. Bartender said about 7 minutes and he was right on. Two sandwiches with cheese-and 2 fries. Gravy is preferred but we were traveling so just went plain. These are clearly the best roast beef sandwiches around. The fries are fantastic as well. The 15yo knocked his back in record speed, raving about how good and ready to go back. read more

Dependable beef and beer joint. Limited menu of spot on hot sandwiches. Friendly staff. My go to for the occasional indulgence. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Games on the TV too in the laid back atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The best around. Perfect spot for a great roast beef and cold beer. Service is always top notch.

"I don't like roast meat sandwiches." - Me, before having Nick's. My husband ordered Door Dash from Nick's. He got a roast beef sandwich with cheese, broccoli rabe, and horseradish. He also got fries with a side of cheese. Additionally, the order sat for 20 minutes on our stoop before bringing it in because he was on the phone. I couldn't have been more un-interested in his lunch. And then I saw the French fries, which were deliciously crispy and seriously the best take-out fries I've *ever* had, even after sitting outside in the cold. Once I had a taste of those amazing fries I thought, "lemme taste this sandwich." And holy moly, it was SO GOOD!! I wanted to order the next day from Nick's but they were closed. I'm obsessed. The portions were perfect, the taste was great, nothing was soggy at all. I just...I loved it. A+! read more

Still the best Roast Beef Sandwich in all the area. They hand carve their beef and place it on the roll. When I order takeout, I usually watch them make my order as I am paying, so you know it's fresh, My go to is extra gravy on the side so I can dip my sandwich. The fries are crispy and delicious. Still have beer specials and the TV's have been updated since my last review. Closed on Sundays which I still do not get cause they would make a killing but hey they are not hurting for business. read more

Came here for take out a month or so back so I could properly get roast beef sandwiches again. Really, really good. We got both roast beef and roast pork sandwiches. Fries were good even the next day, it may have been the roast beef wrapper they were in. If you've never been, check it out. When you're able to dine in, I recommend getting the roast beef with horseradish and fries with beef gravy. It's terrific. read more

The sandwiches at Nick's Original roast beef are the best . Along with some gravy fries add some horseradish, broccoli Rabe, and banana peppers Boom a great sandwich. read more

Nick's Old Original Roast Beef - Hot roast beef with gravy fries. - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Pennsylvania

A roast beef combo (on the out) with gravy fries, a shot of Jameson and a Lager. My ultimate meal, my last meal I want, the best thing when you're having a tough day, a great day, a cold day or a hot day. Nick's in Springfield is awesome. I always grab a seat at the bar and get the same thing. I like to throw a decent amount of horseradish on my sandwich because I like the heat!! There's a lot of places in Delco that claim to have the "best roast beef" but in my opinion none of them can come close to Nick's. Grab a sandwich (learn how to order it special), get some fries (even better with gravy). When you take that first bite...you'll see, they are the best! read more

Kind of run down, food isn't what it used to be expensive for a Kaiser roll with some beef n cheese.

One of the best beefs and pork sandwich's in the world! Sadly people try to copy Nicks in Springfield style But They can be imitated but never duplicated out of all the imitators like West Chester or Cottman ave nicks in Springfield stands on top to be the best! the sandwiches are always hot just make sure to get it extra wet with a side of Gravy and don't forget the beef fry's and a birch beer and a Italian long hot with the beef and the pork! I give it a 9 out of 10! read more

Nick's Old Original Roast Beef - Roast beef with extra gravy poured on top! - Sandwiches Near Me - Springfield, Pennsylvania

Got the regular roast beef. The beef is a bit dry. But the smoky flavor covers that up a bit. And with a lot of gravy it's still a good sandwich. The bread is soft and fluffy. read more

Nick's offers inside seating and a bar and is decently clean. The menu is very straightforward: roast beef, roast pork, baked ham, or turkey sandwiches. I ordered the roast pork sandwich with a side fries. For some, the prices may be steep (like $12), but the quality of the meat is delicious. My server was very friendly and on top of the things. It looks, feels, and tastes like what you would expect from a Delco sandwich shop. read more

This place makes the BEST roast beef sandwiches, hands down. I am not a bar type person so I sit on the porch at the Springfield location. They don't hold up so well to go, so I don't get over there as often as I'd like, but when I do I go all out. Roast beef on the outs with provolone and horseradish, and gravy fries! Of course I fast for a day before to fit all that in! But it's worth it!! read more

Been dining here and ordering from here for years. Roast beef sandwiches are to die for, but that's not the only thing on the menu. Nah, just kidding. Get the roast beef sandwich. read more

Best sandwich worst service. Ordered a sandwich and a birch beer thin paper plate smaller then the sandwich and no birch beer because the lady filling in behind bar to busy chatting with the waitress on break the. 3/4 of sandwich gone finally she stopped and check and realized no drink . It wasn't even busy. To be a good bartender or waiter you need to periodically make contact with the patrons to see if they need anything or they need to get a hold of you not just have a personal conversation at the top of your lungs read more

Worst service ever The waitress with the brown hair in a ponytail Was being sarcastic acting like a brat people like this waitress ruined peoples businesses really can't believe the way she acted food was cold if it was hot and would of have the peppers and horseradish from the start would of been much better read more
