    Good scallops, cole slaw needed a kick
    Jay M.

    Was in the area and wanted scallops at Red Wing but they were closed on Saturday afternoon while website said opens at 4pm... wtf Saw Nicky's and cooked to try . Ordered fried scallops dinner. Came with onion rings, fries, cole slaw Scallops were excellent, fresh and abundant Onion rings I needed a few more and less fries Cole Dias needed a better creamier with some pepper or spice as taste as bland The young girls serving all friendly hospitality oriented. Nice restaurant and the three seafood specials all sounded good, baked haddock, seafood New-burg, baked scallops ...

    Chicken parm and a turkey dinner

    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 The decor, ambience, menus, absolutely everything is outdated by decades.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!

    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.

    The food is delicious and the staff are great. The breakfast menu often includes a new dish. I just tried the Pumpkin Eggnog Texas French Toast, oh my gosh amazing!

    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.

    Look at that plate
    Dan U.

    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.

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

    Their service was horrible and the prime rib special was so tough you almost could not cut it. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

    Hands down one of my all-time favorite ice cream spots!…read more I've come here a few times with my coworkers, and The Ice Cream Machine never disappoints. The menu variety is incredible--they have endless flavor choices and tons of ways to order, whether you want cones, cups, frappes, or specialty sundaes. My absolute favorite is a small sundae with the Cookie Monster flavor. You get a huge portion for a great price--seriously, the sundae in my photo loaded with whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry was just a small! I ordered and got my order in just a few minutes! There's 3 lanes open so the line moves fast. There's plenty of seating on site, but if it happens to be packed, it's super convenient to just walk right across the street to the park. I'm always telling my friends we need to plan a trip here. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out!

    There's a reason why The Ice Cream Machine has been around for a long time and there's almost…read morealways a line. It's because they make darn good ice cream!! I'm pretty fussy about my ice cream and there are definitely lots of great options around and I'd put them right up at the top in RI. If you go here often enough you'll have some great batches with lots of fillings and flavors and some OK batches with a little less, but it's always good. Rich and creamy without any artificial feeling. Lines can be long and sometimes they go slower than others. I'm not usually in a big hurry when I'm going for ice cream so it doesn't bother me. I also don't find it any slower than other favorites in the area like Lincoln creamery, Wright scoop, west end creamery....etc. Last time we visited we had black raspberry Oreo and strawberry cheesecake and they were both great. It was a cooler night with a few drops so it was pretty quiet and we were in and out quickly.

The young lady called the…read moreorder and I looked at it surprised and said I ordered a sundae it's supposed to have whipped cream and a cherry. She looked at me like I was a jerk for asking. Said nothing walked away came back with the whipped cream and a cherry. She handed it to me with a rude look on her face and said nothing. The whipped cream was the least amount she could put on without it being so blatantly obvious she was nasty. I threw the cherry out. I will never come back to this place again.

    Yelp has the name as "Summer Scoops," but I'm guessing that was the presale name. Now it's called…read more"Scoops Ice Cream," and if you're finding your way there using Waze, you'll see it's listed as permanently closed. The phone number list 877 984-2824 gets you to The Hatch Group which has nothing to do with the ice cream shop. I'm guessing that was the previous owner. Why they don't remove their phone number from the ice cream store is a mystery. I'm guessing an oversight. I've been on a mission this summer to sample chocolate frappes at as many places as I can. The reason I rate the frappe here 10/10 is good price, thick chocolatey flavor, & served with a large diameter straw. No way you're inhaling this using the usual size straw. Since you may think they are permanently closed, here are their hours. Monday - Closed Tuesday - Friday 3-9PM Friday 3-9PM Saturday 12-9PM Sunday 12-9PM As their saying goes: Life's short, get the second scoop."

    The best fast food locally !…read more The Foxborough Dairy Queen is a family owned franchise. The son who took over is one of the hardest working businessman I have ever meet. Over the years, I have seen him doing every aspect of the job. He is a great example to his young employees. The meat is still flame cooked in the Dairy Queen tradition. The French Fries are always crispy. The ice cream is classic soft serve and the crew strives to met your requests. This location will also personalize a ice cream cake for you. This great food and service is now available year round. Initially, they closed in the winter, however, the dedicated staff suggested they could cover that and now it's open throughout the year. Speaking of great staff, Rhonda has been wonderful over the years and reflects the dedication, warmth, and professional service. The facilities have been updated a number of times in the over 20 years of our visitations. The bathrooms are clean and modern. The inside eating area is air conditioned. The outside are is great in the summer and is decorated for the holidays in winter. There is an ample parking lot with outside benches. The demand was so great over the COVID era that they added a 2 lane line for the drive through. If you like good "fast food" and respect family businesses, consider stopping by. We will be returning to a site of some of my son's best childhood memories !
