It's been quite a few years since my last meal at Nicks. He really knows his craft and we were served excellent food. I went with friends for brunch and the food was amazing. Fresh, local and prepared with love and attention. The server was attentive and friendly, we had very little wait. The restaurant is clean, well adorned and utilizes wall space tolerate intimate dining areas. The brunch menue extended beyond the usual egg based fair as well as more lunch like offerings. Nick knew one of us and he sent along some little extras. The parfait was delicious and a small plate cookie finished the meal. The eggs. Oh my the eggs.Local and so good, the fried potatoes were so tender and crisp. The biscuits was to die for....The stuff dreams are made of!​ read more

Oh my gosh this was tooo good. The food was so fresh, you could tell they made everything in house from a local farm. The biscuits were so good. We also got the bread & butter, which the bread & honey spread was a 11/10. The food did take a little longer to come out, but I believe that's because they make everything fresh, which is so worth the wait. Super cute place with an outside patio as well! Go and try this place!! read more

Nicks has my heart!!! Usually my partner and I just order to-go brunch items, but the past few occasions we have dined in which has only solidified my love for this place & everyone that works here. The atmosphere is very welcoming and you can tell that people here do love what they do (for work/career). The roasted oysters are actually life changing, usually I like them raw with a little Tabasco. It was my first time trying roasted oysters and... wow these did not disappoint. Great selection of drinks, bloody mary's were super tasty. Cannot wait to keep dining here!! read more

I went to Nick's on Broadway for lunch. I sat at the bar. The restaurant was clean and the weight staff was friendly. I ordered the fish and chips they were were pretty good but were way too gourmet for my liking. I mean this is New England. Just give me a slab of fried cod over a bed of greasy fries and I'll be happy. This service was good and I thought the bartender was nice. Overall was a really good dining experience. I just feel like they're doing too much trying to make simple meals fancier. read more

My fave breakfast sandy in Providence remains undefeated: Honey chili chicken (gluten-free) biscuit sandy with double the greens on the side. Pro tip: 1 sandy on the weekend is about a 20 minute wait for takeout on average. 2 sandies on the weekend is about a 45 minute wait for takeout on average. read more

If a restaurant were a person... This would be someone you would want to spend time with often. Cozy will not being overbearing, friendly while respecting boundaries, elegant without being intimidating, curious yet not nosy, welcoming, but not insincere and uniquely friendly while holding space for you and those around them. The chef's counter is food ASMR. Steadily paced while not being frantic, efficient while taking point of pride in their work. Watching your meal being prepared is part of the experience. The food is always absolutely delicious. Filling, comforting, wonderful and satisfying. The service is also exceptional. Great timing, friendly people, solid cocktails. read more

Continues to be worthy of my Sixth Star award. A last minute lunch date, seated at the Chef's counter. Rigatoni boloñeses and fish sandwich were utter perfection. Staff is delightful and the place always ALWAYS has a great vibe. A MUST stop on Federal Hill. read more

Nick's felt like a warm hug...cozy, quaint, and full of heart. My sister-friend Kerline told us it was like a second home for them, and I totally get it now! I'm a super picky eater with a cinnamon allergy (epi-pen ready!), but they nailed it. I had the Breakfast Plus with well-done bacon, and let me tell you, the biscuit and blood orange jam stole the show. Everything was fresh, local, and full of flavor, right down to my Granny Squibb's organic tea. Husbae devoured the rhubarb-strawberry pancakes, chicken sausage, and home fries. We also tried a yogurt parfait that was missing the granola based on how it was described beforehand, but it was so good, I didn't ask for it! I loved hearing the kitchen crew communicate. I even heard my allergy mentioned, which gave me so much peace of mind. Our server was an absolute gem: kind, efficient, and totally on point. Bonus: they knew my friend Kerline but had no clue that I was Yelp Elite there to review. 10/10 from walk-in to walk-out. Keep shining, Nick's! read more

WOW-The accolades are so well deserved here. I had a delicious solo birthday brunch. The veggie scramble (add chicken oat sausage) was absolute perfection. Sparkling rose and espresso martini were perfect. Great play list and I LOVE that you arent sitting on top of the next table. Service was great. Cant wait to come back with the hubs and friends! read more

Absolutely incredible! We were regular here while staying close in the area. This is one of the best brunch places in Providence. Best tomato crostini on the planet!. The service is always pleasant and quick. We sit in the back, they have nice bistro chairs/tables. read more

Outstanding food. We had the black bean egg bowls with chicken, their special eggs and a sandwich. Everything was incredibly fresh and creatively presented. We also shared the crostini which was so delicious either savory and sweet notes. Our server was fantastic. She was knowledgeable about the food and stirred us in the right direction when we had questions. We will definitely come back! read more

Decided to eat dinner here from recommendations from people online as we traveled through. We arrived a little after 7pm. Our waitress took our order, brought our wine about 10 minutes later. We ordered 3 raw oysters as an appetizer, and the broccoli, mushroom and tomato cavatelli and chargrilled black bird farm beef for entrees. Grossly disappointed is an understatement. We did not get our oysters to the table until 7:45pm and the entree didn't get to our table until 8:15.. an hour and 15 minutes for a pasta dish and steak and potatoes is insane. Our waitress did not come to the table one time in the hour and 15 minutes we were waiting for our food. And to top it all off it was over $100 for pasta that needed salt and pepper (which was not provided on the table). Only good thing brought out was the wine and oysters. Do not recommend and definitely won't be back. read more

One of my all time favorites! Best eggs benny i've had in my life! The whiskey sour is also top notch! I love how almost everything is locally sourced! I'm very big on farm to table! A gem on Broadway!! read more

I feel like you know when your meal will be good when you see a small menu, intimate setting, and an open immaculate kitchen. We came here right before a show in Rhode Island and food did not disappoint. I had the cauliflower soup and roasted fish. It was my first time having fluke and it was perfectly done on a bed of lentils and vegetables. The finishing touch of warm chocolate banana bread with ice cream was perfect. I would definitely come back again just for this dish. Service was great, food pace was wonderful, and watching the chefs prepare the meal was a show in of itself. Will definitely be back for chefs tasting read more

Years ago I lived in Providence and I came to Nicks every now and then for brunch, but haven't been back in years. After seeing a post on their Instagram about a special birthday prefixe menu, I figured it was a perfect excuse to come back and take my husband who had never been. We made early reservations and were seated right away by a very friendly hostess. Our server was great, making sure we had what we needed and refilling our glasses throughout the evening. The food was some of the best I've had in a long time, the courses were served in perfect timing, and we left fully stuffed (and in my case buzzed from all of the great drinks). Can't wait to go back to order off the regular menu and try more. read more

Several people have recommended Nicks on Broadway to me and my only complaint is that I didn't go sooner. The atmosphere is definitely an upscale eatery so I would definitely plan to dress cute casual. We went for Sunday brunch and it may be my go to brunch special occasions. Let me first give a special shout out to the hot chocolate. My favorite hot chocolate in the world is at Harrod's in London and all other hot chocolate is a distant second until this one. I think this at least equal if not slightly better so well done! The pancakes drizzled with caramel on top were also fantastic. The pancakes are thin, almost like crepes but definitely like pancakes. They're amazing. Their flavor was so complimentary with the caramel. My husband ordered oysters which he was very happy with. He said the flavor was excellent and the presentation was just beautiful. I would highly recommend going in! FYI they do take reservations. read more

Brought a couple friends visiting from out of town to Nicks along with my own family on Saturday morning. It was awesome as usual. It's always fun to see what Chef/Owner Derek is carving up in the wee hours of the morning online for the next day/s meals. Even better to have a chance to have the Vermont Cheddar Polenta & Summer Vegetables with the add on of the fish of the day in one of his posts. In this case a perfect Blue Fin Tuna delivered by the fishermen, caught it a few hours before. I can't ever make great tuna at home but this was the best I've ever had and I've had my share. If I didnt know better, I could have been convinced it was a great piece of Waygu cooked rare, seared and seasoned on the edges. The Polenta was equally perfect. The best way to get a grumpy three year old grand daughter to cheer up was to have her dig into the Fresh fruit Parfait with house honey oat granola, Aquidneck honey & Narragansett Creamery yogurt. It's never not a 10. As usual service perfect. I just hope when James Beard awards elevate Nicks and Derek from the usual finalist nominee to winning I can still get a seat. If Michelin did Providence, Nicks would already be in it. read more

This was my first trip to Nick's. The food lived up to the hype, service was great and we loved sitting at the Chefs Counter. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is the price. Brunch for two came to $130+ before tip. Will be back read more

Limited menu. Which is good, no messing with bad dishes. No chicken dish.. my wife "loved it". All of it. attention to detail, food, service, plated food, atmosphere, her meal, her drink, etc... so did my daughter. I thought it was ok. Huge wine selection. read more

Nicks can be good for brunch but this last time was a little disappointing it took about an hour to get our meals which included two Benedicts, one special breakfast, and the apple pancakes. The Benedict's weren't that great the biscuit did not have much flavor, the grilled ham gave it a different smokey/grill taste, and the hollandaise sauce was bland. The special plate has scrambled eggs which were fine, and the potatoes were overly done and greasy, the bacon was good but a little charred as well. The positive here was the apple pancakes were good, light, fluffy with a nice apple compote filling on top. For ambiance it's a little loud for talking in the main dining area and the air was blowing on the tables making it a little chilly. We have had great meals at Nicks but this missed the mark. The service was insanely slow making the entire experience a big disappointment. read more

Never comment on breakfast because we can all fry an egg. But when it's exceptional and over the moon you got to let folks know. We came just for a couple of eggs and a coffee. What we were served was very fresh eggs, great bacon and biscuits. This place is really, really good. The staff and the vibe are also enjoyable. We will be back for more and you should too!!! read more

Fresh, innovative and delicious. Service was exceptional and would highly recommend! Parking on street is limited.

Very good brunch in Providence! I came on the weekend right when they opened and didn't have any trouble getting a table. There was a line out the door waiting to get in though, so definitely a popular place - make a reservation if you can, and if you can't try to get there early! Street parking as per usual. Pancakes are a must get here. Their addition of seasonal fruits on top makes it even better. Will always come here for their pancakes. Savory dish ordered was the hot chicken biscuit sandwich - was okay. Not bad, not outstanding. Chicken is grilled. Biscuit and sauce are good. read more

Ordered The Special over easy with a side of smoked ham. The biscuit came pre-buttered, the ham sliced to perfect bites, and the micro greens made the plate very pretty!

We came in for brunch for the first time and it was great! The food was so good, the mix of sweet and regular potatoes for the home fries was such a smart idea and it was so good! My mom had ordered a couple things because she couldn't decide on one thing. The server was extremely accommodating and we were so appreciative of how they were willing to take care of us. My sister had the tomato and pesto grilled sandwich, she LOVED it. The bread was toasted so perfectly. I ordered eggs benny, i liked it. the hollandaise sauce wasn't really a hollandaise sauce so it was a bit confusing and the biscuit was on the drier side. but as far as flavors go everything was extremely tasty. inside was nice. we sat right in front of the kitchen. i loved seeing our meals all be prepared while we watched. would definitely recommend. and will definitely be back! read more

Nicks on Broadway is an elegant feeling restaurant with an open kitchen. I recently enjoyed an excellent diner from the restaurant week menu with my friend. She has a nut allergy and we heard them noting that as the order went through the kitchen, which is always reassuring. We both had the summer salad to start, and then she had the tuna as a main while I had the Bolognese. For dessert we ordered the vanilla panna cotta and the warm dark chocolate crumble. We enjoyed each course. The bolognese in particular was excellent. It was a little spicier from a flavor perspective than other bolognese I've had, and was served with some extremely fresh ricotta cheese. The panna cotta was also excellent. The staff at Nick's is also goes above and beyond. Our main waiter was funny and attentive. At another point, someone else came to bring a course and accidentally knocked over my friends almost empty wine glass. She refilled it with about a half glass to make up for it. And then as we left, one of the chefs wished us a good night. We were the second to last table there, and they weren't rushing us at all. read more

A classic brunch spot off the main stretch of Fed Hill, Nicks on Broadway is near impossible to get a seat on weekends but a good option on a weekday. I have fond memories of an eggs benedict I had here a couple years back, which sadly is no longer on the menu, so I opted for the Honey Chili Chicken Biscuit instead. The biscuit was great, with a cripsy exterior and lushly fluffy interior, and paired very well with the cheddar and chipotle sauce. I am a huge fan of Baffoni Farm chicken, but sadly it was slightly on the drier side in this dish (but was thankfully offset by the sauce). The back patio is much more of a casual ambiance than the main dining room/bar area. Service was friendly. read more

Great service; a very nice place with upscale cuisine. The Eggs Benny is NOT a typical benedict, though! If you are craving eggs benedict, this might not satisfy your desire. The eggs are fried, not poached, but more importantly the sauce on top is NOT hollandaise, but rather a mild cream sauce with herbs. It is good, but very mild in flavor, and the biscuit it comes on is a bit dry. Just a note to benedict lovers that this is a different concoction, so don't be suprised if it is not what you would exoecr! Otherwise this place is very nice! read more

I sadly did not get a picture of the amazing meal I had here, mainly because I was too busy enjoying it! The Eggs Benny were the best I have had in my life.

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Their brunch is 100% worth the wait. read more

The gluten free biscuits--go there just for this! I wish they were more accessible though so I can bring my elderly mom. Service awesome!

I had looked up places for breakfast on TikTok and Nicks came up so I decided to Huber it a try. The staff was immediately friendly upon me stepping even my pinky toe into the door. I was seated at the chefs counter, where I had a view of the goings on and could hear "yes chef" as orders were called out. I witnessed how the food was prepped like a 5 star restaurant. Evening was cooked with care, eggs were freshly cracked, and those potatoes were oven and pan roasted they used tongs to apply garnishments! I could overhear the camaraderie amongst the team as well. The chef randomly checked on customers to make sure they were satisfied, which everyone was It was just a great experience. The food was top tier! Those potatoes were roasted and seasoned to perfection, with a little bit of crunch on the outside but soft on the inside. The eggs were perfectly over medium, just like I asked. The bacon was not crispy but it was delicious. The fruit salad was fresh and had about 4 or 5 fruits. If I lived in Providence I would be here regularly. I highly recommend checking it out. read more
