    We stopped for lunch on a road trip. First time at Nick's. Perfect lunch place. Service was friendly. My wife had a great Greek salad and I had a club sandwich with fries. All good. Restrooms very very clean. Recommend highly.

    A local steadfast and community hub, this sentinel of Madison is open on generators in the roughest of storms. As a kid I canoed here the morning after hurricane Sandy. This is my it pains me to leave this review. The quality of the food is a 0/10, their idea of an omelet with cheese is a Kraft singles plopped on top. Their potatoes are bland as soap and their hash is both from a can and worse than most types of dog food. Their cinnamon toast is Stop and Shop brand, and somehow not even the good kind. Their prices are the same as better quality local options. Service is decent, two staff today, regular rounds, kindly locals. 4/5. Ambiance is 4/5, the old style was a quintessential 70's diner but the son's renovations have brought it to an early 2010's vibe. It has those gray panel floors from HGTV, you know the ones. There are those posters, advertisements, community wall, it's cute. This review is poor because of the food.

    We went to Nicks Place a month ago, we're still talking about the magnificent prime rib dinner we had. The service was excellent as well.

    This is the only breakfast place I'd ever go to- their prices are the best on the shoreline and the eggs are cooked perfectly every time.

The fireplace perfect on a cold winter evening. The food prepared with finesse. Even something as simple as the fries were above average-likely the oil used. For the portion and preparation and everything the food was priced very fair. The service was fast and friendly. A great place to watch the sunset and they have what looks to be a nice deck when it's not mid winter. We will be back again.

    First of all the staff was friendly and happy despite being busy. The atmosphere was cozy despite…read morebeing at a large table for 6 people. The crab and corn chowder was delicious though lighter in crab than I would have liked. Could have been "the pour" I guess. The Asian Salmon was delicious and something about the basmati was just right. Others got the crab cakes dinner, and the chicken salad wrap w fries, and the cod dinner. everyone was pleased and all plates were empty at meals end. We did notice it was hard to hear at the height of the busy time but wonderful to talk as it cleared out. There is beautiful art decorating the walls. This added to the homey feel. A nice variety as well. I especially noticed the quilted and framed art which were delightful birds and nature scenes. Some appeared available for sale and at very reasonable prices. Very nice spot, well recommended.

    Let's talk about THIS lobster roll ‍…read more Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale did NOT come to play. That buttered lobster roll is fresh, loaded, and worth the market price--every bite hits. I've had a lot in CT... this one is top tier. So good I finished it and said "yeah, I need another one to go" Friendly staff Indoor/outdoor seating Open year-round Now don't leave without dessert. The ice cream is a MUST Oreo sundae for me, Reese's sundae for the kids... no regrets. Summer = ice cream shack outside Off-season = still inside This place is the whole experience.

    This usually is five stars all day long…read more First, let me say that the service was impeccable. Every one of the staff is so nice I sat out in the porch area, and placed my order for Rhode Island clam chowder, along with a meal which consisted of deep fried shrimp and sea scallops with french fries and coleslaw I also ordered the house brand of Sprite to drink. Almost immediately came the Rhode Island clam chowder, along with the soda. This Rhode Island clam chowder is on point and some of the best in the area. Barely 3 minutes went by, and I was just getting started with the chowder after letting it cool for a bit, and the meal arrived. Just poor timing. So there I was splitting time between eating the chowder and the meal The french fries were good, but not seasoned. The coleslaw was as normal as normal coleslaw could be. The sea scallops and shrimp were deep-fried in a very light batter. But the oil they were deep fried and seemed either burnt or too high of a temperature because they just didn't taste right. They were also lacking seasoning. So looking around on the picnic table, I was sitting at, there were napkins, but no salt or pepper. I looked around at the other tables, no salt or pepper. WTF this is a restaurant! Anyways, the meal the chowder and the soda came to $38 and change, I left a $10 tip. I hope you aren't slipping Lenny and Joe's, and this was just an anomaly.
