Run.....don't walk to Springfield Nicks. Brush up on your 4 for 4 knowledge (god what are they going to do w That dead weight Howard), be prepared to talk politics from both sides like a pro, get the full combo w a generous portion of bark w gravy, a pint of Lagunitas from Jeff and shut off your phone. Have an ample stack of napkins in front of the clothespin that has your tab on it, toss on some horseradish and be prepared to just enjoy one of those Bourdain moments. Yes, the sandwich is out of this world.....thinly sliced roast beef or pork that has cooked for god knows how long, simmering in whatever that is #absurdness (buy extra to go) but nicks is more than just a great simple sandwich. Sip your beer slowly to get the full experience and you can thank me later. What makes nicks special is the people, servers and patrons alike, that makes it that place to travel to. Cheers was great...everyone knew your name there, but if inclined, Jeff wants your name and get to know you. Everyone does. Stop by, say hello and enjoy a sandwich, drink and a great experience. Cheers read more

A roastbeef sandwich that is unreal. The turkey sandwich is equally as good. Reminds me of the day after Thanksgiving - all the leftover goodness. A dark and dingy dive with cheap domestics. Did I mention great place to pick up chicks? read more

Great people, great local feel. Amazing roast beef sandwich, get the gravy fries.

This place is everything everyone has written and more. They do three things and do them better than everyone: roast beef, gravy fries and good service. It really is an old corner bar which I love. Six bucks for a sandwich which is better than anything else in the city. read more

I love the broccoli rabe sandwich. We get the "combo" which means they add Provolone. They'll put roast beef juice on it if you want. Sounds tasty, but I haven't tried it. My folks had the roast beef and thought it was excellent. I wish they were open on Sundays. read more

Awesome roast beef sandwiches! Best roast beef sandwich I have ever had. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. This was my first time there and they made me feel very welcome, read more

Best Roast Beef sandwiches and gravy fries in the entire Universe. One major problem - I live in Seattle. When are you going to open a Seattle franchise???? read more

The bartenders John & Jeff are the best always keeping our beer cold and are just great people. The sandwiches are still the best around.

Awesome food! Great service! I died and went to heaven over the gravy fries! Perfect sandwich!

There's not much I can add that hasn't already been written but I'll just reiterate that Nick's has the best roast beef sandwiches in Delaware County. Their gravy fries are also excellent. The beer is cold as possible and the service is fast no matter how crowded they are. But what I really love about the place is that they do it "their way". For example, if you want cheese on your sandwich you get sharp provolone, no other type of cheese is available. And that's because that's all they serve. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. They're closed on Sundays and I applaud that also. They could easily expand the place and open on Sundays but they don't have to because they do it their way. read more

Great food! Have never had a bad meal here. Service is solid. It's a limited menu , little atmosphere and very dim lighting though. Jukebox is killer though!!! And there's always at least two different games being broadcasted. Also, be parking can be difficult and they are sadly closed on Sunday's :-( read more

I was told about this place time and time again until I finally made it there. Truely one of the best Roast Beef sandwiches ever! The gravy is what REALLY makes it, so make sure you either have your sandwich extra dipped or have them give you a little side cup. I also recomment the Birch Beer as this is the perfect companion. read more

Delicious sandwiches! Only thing that holds it back from a 5-star rating is its limited selection of beer on tap.

I take my Yelp reviews very seriously, so what I am about to write is sincere... Nick's Original Roast Beef sells the tastiest roasr beef sandwiches I have ever eaten. If you have never eaten at Nick's, you are missing out on roast beef so tasty that it is almost addictive. But not only do they sell delicious roast beef, they also sell very yummy appetizers (e.g., mozarella sticks, fries, gravy fries, etc.) and a wide variety of beers and alcohol. I cannot recall how many years I have been coming to Nick's... At least 10 years... Perhaps 15-20 years? I've lived in various places throughout those years, intermittenly returning to the Philly burbs from time to time. I always return to Nick's and always live their roast beef and a cold beer or two. My wife and I recently returned to the Philly burbs after living in Harrisburg for 3.5 years. One of the first places we went to was Nick's. And once again, it was mouth-wateringly good roast beef. Five stars. read more

The place is smal but has great roast beef. Never had it before it was very good. Fries were also good. Nice friendly bar to grab a beer and a roast beef sandwich. read more

Great roast beef and gravy fries, don't forget the horseradish! It's better to dine-in than get your food to-go as it'll get soggy if not eaten right away. read more

The service each time we have gone is great, and the food is great. Our favorite thing to order is the gravy fries. They are seriously the best! read more

Sandwiches are tasty but would be nice to get toasted buns. The meat has a lot of juices and I hate it when sandwiches fall apart. The onion rings are really good. read more

This place gets two stars from me only because the gravy fries were good. Their sandwiches are awful. Thick slabs of badly sliced, tough, dry meat....gross. I made the mistake of ordering their pork sandwich once and it was inedible. I tried to bite into the sandwich and couldn't even bite through because of how tough and rubbery the pork was. I don't understand why they slice the meat the way they do but it makes for a disgusting sandwich. The people raving on how good this place is are just locals who have never had anything better. You're better off going to Wawa for a sandwich. Seriously. It will at least be edible. read more

roast beef w/ cheese and a side of gravy fries- hands down on one of the best meals I've eaten. Been going here since growing up in Springfield and I will always make the treck back despite feeling like the biggest fat girl after I'm done. It's simple, you get your sandwhich, you get fries and you get a beer- you don't really need much more than that. read more

Great stuff. Beef n cheese plus gravy fries was recommended and devoured. Be here on the regular when I visit my Philly clients.

Nicks is only a few minutes from my house. I am always picking up roast beef sandwiches. I call ahead and order it, usually takes like 10-15 minutes. The service is good there. Oh, the gravy fries rock too! read more

This place has one of the best roast beef I have ever had in a long time!!! VERY JUICY and VERY TASTY. the beer is also good and cheap!! Can't beat that! but the place is nice to go and relax after a hard day's work read more

Best roast beef sandwich I have ever had! It was a bit messy but worth it. I hope to eat here every time I am in the area.

How times have changed....have not been to Nicks for quite some time, brought my son this past weekend....what a let down! Reminded me of the Wendy's "Where's the beef!" commercial. The gravy was still good but there was little to no meat in the roll and the meat that was there was tough.....not the experience I remember! read more

Amazing roast beef and I have to agree the gravy fries are incredible! Just moved to the area and tried it out for the first time this week. The wife and I will be back for more! read more

Great food with cheap beer. Sometimes the atmosphere is of a local dive bar but the food overcomes that.

Coldest beers in Delco. Roast beef and gravy fries are always solid.

Love this place, great food, fast service! Would be nice if they expanded their menu a little but they do what they know best which is great roast beef! read more

Have seen and heard about this place for some time so dropped by for dinner. Roast beef is as good as advertised. And the gravy fries are not covered with gravy but the pan drippings from the beef... Really good. My only complaint is the bun. Just not a big fan of Kaiser rolls. read more

Food was great! Service was slow at best. Waitress walked off with my credit card for roughly five minutes as she waited on other customers and cleaned tables. read more
