This is a small town, family dining restaurant, a hidden gem located just 5-10 min from Patriot Place, but worlds away from the crowds and traffic. Nicky's offers straight across the board American breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites, and it does so with comfort, ease, and down-home style. There is a diner counter and a staffed dining room, all very casual and welcoming. The waitresses, in particular, provide superb, friendly, efficient service, and the food is made right there in the visible kitchen. No cafeteria food here. The menu reflects an excellent seafood selection, both fried and broiled, and the chowder is top-notch, made in-house. Their fried seafood plates come with fries, and a heap of the best onion rings you will ever have. They do serve wine and beer, and delicious ice cream anytime. It is my go-to spot for that warm, cozy feeling I used to get at home. Please try this wonderful place for a change any day or as a happy alternative to typical Patriot Place fare. read more

Breakfast was very good and very large! Service was good but delivery of the meal Could have been quicker,,,likely the kitchen was very busy. read more

We both got the whole belly clams fried dinner with French fries Onion rings and coleslaw with tartar sauce. There were lots of clams in the plate. In fact so many that I couldn't finish the delicious onion rings and fries. The clams were juicy perfectly lightly battered and perfectly fried so you could enjoy the whole clam. The hostess was lovely and the other waitstaff were helpful and pleasant. Our waitress was attentive but not pushy at all. In fact she was perfect. We highly recommend Nicky's. read more

We have been going to Nicky's for years never a problem until today. Very busy. We were third in line for quite a awhile when this other couple came in and went up to the booth that states "Wait to be seated" It looked like she gave her name. So I went up to this teeny bopper who was taking the names...which we NEVER had to do there and I told her we were ahead of the couple that just gave their name, we just didn't know we had to give our names as we never have done this before. She was the rudest person I have come across in a long time and shouldn't be working with the public. She basically said too bad. "I can't verify that" She only saw me standing there for 20 minutes! We left. I have never been treated like that anywhere. read more

Service is somewhat slow, but they always have helpers who will get your drinks and drop off your food. The food comes out relatively quickly and it's hot. It's a family diner and that's what you get, good family food, smiling friendly waitresses and irs not super loud, you can converse freely without yelling. read more

Nice restaurant and the three seafood specials all sounded good, baked haddock, seafood New-burg, baked scallops ... read more

Nicky's has been our "go to" place for many years. We knew exactly what to expect: Good diner food, competent staff, and fair prices. HOWEVER last week I ordered the scallops like I have done literally a dozen times, expecting them to be cooked perfectly with an adequate portion size. Not so much! This time the scallops were not as good. They were cut in half and the portion was half the size. The prices keep going up. I actually felt insulted when the waitress put the plate in front of me. I won't be going there anymore. It's unfortunate. read more

Nicky's is remnant of the 1970s. The decor, ambience, menus, absolutely everything is outdated by decades. That's just the beginning... Without question, chef Mike is the head chef at Nicky's. And I don't mean chef Mike by name, I mean chef microwave. Nearly everything is prepackaged or pre-canned. Absolutely nothing is made fresh to order. As clearly visible in the pictures, the beans are canned, the tomato sauce is canned, the gravy is canned, the raviolis are premade the cranberry sauce canned. The only thing that perhaps touched a "chefs" hand is the mozzarella when they either applied a blow torch or placed the food under a salamander to provide the browning to the mozzarella cheese. How this could leave the kitchen, with a culinary trained head, chefs approval is beyond me. Clearly there is not somebody versed in the culinary arts that is allowing this to leave their kitchen without the owners consent. If you are too lazy to warm up some food on your own, do your own dishes, then absolutely, Nicky's the place for you. The food is equivalent to a Swanson's TV dinner nothing more nothing less. No complaints about the service and the pricing is on par with what you would expect. Looking for a cheap, tasteless, mix of prepared, canned foods, then Nicky's place for you! read more

Always good. Great seafood as that's my go too. Always good service too. Nice to have a non chain restaurant that has good seafood

I have ordered seafood from here several times before and it's usually been ok. It was never very tasty as they don't season the batter well but the seafood was fresh which is the most important for me as a consumer. This last time I ordered a seafood plate and didn't eat most of it. I grew up in a restaurant that served fresh seafood plates so I know fresh seafood and I know when my scallops were cooked, sat around, then thrown back in the fryolator to reheat it (no thanks!) I will bet money that the scallops were recooked. The fish itself tasted fishy. I did not eat it. I gave it two stars for the other times I went and the seafood was fresh enough. I will never be back there again. read more

Nicky's has been open for over 50 years. They are obviously doing something right. Nicky's is a family restaurant that draws a steady crowd. They're known for their fried seafood and ice cream but have many other offerings, including breakfast. This is typical to a lot of places we grew up with having an early closing time. My friend and I were in the area and we were both craving seafood. Our waitress was very attentive. My friend started with a Shirley Temple and I had a Raspberry Lime Rickey! Delicious, brings me back to my childhood. We both got a bowl of Clam Chowder. The chowda was filled with clams and potatoes. We both thought it had a nice flavor but was a little bland. Salt completely fixed that. They might keep the sodium low for their customers. I had one of the specials, it was a Baked Seafood Trio. This was baked scallops, shrimp and haddock in their basic stuffing. The scallops were huge and cooked perfect. The haddock itself was cooked perfect, the stuffing in the fish had very uneven temperatures. Shrimp were cooked nice, but extremely small. The Mashed Potatoes and the Carrots were cooked right. Overall I did enjoy the dish. For the price, the juice was worth the squeeze. If you are in the area it is definitely worth stopping at. read more

While on a trip up there, friends took me to Nicky's and I was overall satisfied and impressed with the establishment. There is nothing fancy either on the outside or the inside of this restaurant, which I think is part of its charm. It is a simple New England restaurant with a friendly staff and good food. Nicky's has a pretty straightforward menu that you have seen not only throughout Massachusetts, but throughout New England. This is by no means a negative thing, but rather a positive attribute. New England has some great seafood, particularly fried seafood, so that seafood is a great option. All in all, Nicky's is a great option for a meal that makes both the people from Massachusetts and by further extension, the people of New England proud. I would definitely recommend here and I give it an overall rating of five stars. read more

They should take the "Steak" off the menu. 1 of my boys doesn't like seafood so he ordered the $20 broiled10oz Strip I tried to steer him away from it and told him to just get chicken fingers but he was having it. When It arrived it was paired with instant mashed potatoes and canned green beans. He took one bite and said it didn't taste right, said it tasted like pool water then gave me a piece to try (oh joy) typically I like when my food has some type of seasoning on it but thankfully there was nothing to mask the meat was bad with a strong metallic flavor. Our server was super nice and understanding and took it away. Just happy my boy didn't get sick. read more

So happy we stop here .... I got a double cheeseburger with french fries with a side of brown gravy. Verry good service was great nice and friendly sat at the counter diner vibes/ice cream parlor. My second time here me and my family will definitely be coming back. read more

The seafood was freh and perfectly prepared and our server was friendly and met all of our requests with a smile.

I was in town on business and wanted some whole belly clams and clam chowder. I came across Nicky's and they had decent reviews so I decided to give it a try. When I walked in, the place was packed so I figured it had to be good. The first impression was that it was a very old diner that was in desperate need of a face lift but usually these hole in the wall places have great food. It only took about 10 minutes to be seated but then it seemed like I was forgotten for quite a while although it seemed like they were short staffed. The wait staff that was busy running around did not appear that they any interest in being there but they finally came and took my order. I ordered a large side of whole belly clams, a cup of clam chowder, and a side of fries. The clam chowder came out first and it was hot but it was very runny, bland, and very little clams. The taste vastly improved by adding some salt and pepper but I have had better chowder elsewhere. The clams and fries came out next. The fries were warm at most and had no flavor at all but the clams were absolutely great. The clams were big, lightly breaded, flavorful, and fried to perfection. I would definitely go back to Nicky's to get some great clams but the other items definitely need a lot of improvement. read more

My first time visit was amazing. Our food was served hot and delicious. The fried clams were served perfectly and the onion rings are the best I've had in a while. The tartar sauce is absolutely outstanding. Service was friendly, very much a family and welcoming atmosphere. I did not have a chance to taste the ice cream, but they had many various flavors to pick from. read more

Great meal for the value! Good list of specials updated on the website daily. Not my first choice for the area but would still go back

I love a LOCAL IWNED family business that stays current and still makes amazing food. I have had the ice cream here and breakfast here and so much food with decent portions every time. Today it's wicked hot out and I wanted big belly clams and that is exactly what Nicky's sells. The owner welcomes ya when you come in and shows you the new COVID set up and I am impressed. High back boards and removed tables and it looks like perfection for healthy eating. I sat in my booth scanned my menu and I already knew I wanted clams& lime Ricky. Paula who has been here for years big smiles asked how I was doing and made me feel at home. The plate was covered in big belly clams ! Crispy fries and ginormous onion rings. I had to hold my iPhone in both hands so I didn't chow on my lunch. So hot so flavorful and sooooo gone I love this place and reasonable prices too. read more

Went there for breakfast this morning ( about a week or so when restaurants were allowed open during pandemic) . My wife , who deals in infection control everyday at work , noticed the waitress was bussing own tables , then serving food without any hand washing/sanitizing. Informed owner / manager about what she had witnessed and his response was ," go somewhere else if you're not comfortable here". Lost a customer forever , enough said read more

Usually dine here for breakfast, but we came here for a Friday night dinner so we would be near the high school for an evening football game. Place was busy, but we landed a corner table for three. Place is very basic, could use some redecoarating, but the service and food are good. We had a fish dinner, a fish and clam strips dinner and a stuffed pepper dinner. Fish was great, nice batter, large fillet, fries, slaw and a couple of onion rings. Peppers was okay, carrots way over cooked, but baked potato was excellent. Definitely best fried fish in the area. read more

Just got a fisherman's platter today Aug 19th 2023 all 4 whole clams were burnt and tasted like old burnt oil. 4 falling apart onion rings, 4 oz piece of haddock cooked to death wow. Little pieces of fries come on people for 32.00 dollars and this was the start of the day at 12:15 pm. The whole belly clams got to me 4 and burnt time to get a new cook and adjust portions. 0 stars just because I just thru 32.00 dollars in the trash. Have the cook go to a real seafood restaurant to see how to prep and cook seafood read more

The breakfast is delicious and cheap, so is the ice cream! But the lunch and dinner options are not the best. So if you go, go for breakfast or ice cream. I had to deduct a star because when they say they close at 8:00pm they close at 7:00 or 7:30pm. read more

We've been here a few times in the past. Went last night and got the lobster roll. Huge lobster roll (waitress said 6 oz. of meat, I don't doubt it) served with fries and rings for $22.95. What a deal. Meat was mostly knuckle and claw with just enough mayo to hold it together. read more

Where to start. GJ for trying I guess. Service was good but the food was Very Disappointing . Restaurant overall was clean'ish. We ordered a fish sandwich, kids-chicken fingers, and a Haddock with shrimp plate and 2 small clam chowders. The haddock was good, but the onion rings were burnt and the fries were soggy. Fish sandwich was as equatable to a slight step up from McDonald's Fish Sandwich, and the clam chowder was runny, tasteless and disgusting . Now the best part was the shrimp which is hard to mess up. I will attach a picture of what Nicky's version of a shrimp is. Overall if u like buffets like Golden Corral and have no real expectations of a good meal then this is your place. For me, I would rather have a microwave dinner from Walmart. It is very obvious the cooks and owners have no pride in their food or restaurant. Save your money and cook at home or hit McDonalds. read more

I had the fried whole belly clams and my friend had the scallops broiled and both our dinners were delicious.

Pros: you get lots of food for your money. Cons: it's awful, usually wrong (but if you say something they don't do anything which is unique - well actually they'll argue with you and tell you it's right so maybe they do something but I digress), and brought to you with service sans any smile. Low quality food in a place of questionable cleanliness. Can't wait to not return unless my elderly parents make me again. read more
