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 The decor, ambience, menus, absolutely everything is outdated by decades.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

    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.

    Wanted to have just some whole clams and was heading to another restaurant on Route One in Foxboro, when I remembered Nicky's. Price was one half of what the other restaurant wanted. Absolutely delicious.....couldn't get better at a seaside place. Got take out...speedy service and very friendly service. 20 bucks for this!!!

    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.

    I eat at Nicky's a few times a month. Have been for years, it's a nice local very predictable meal. I suggest the Toms House Salad.

    Ordered a small ice cream sundae and was very specific on what was on it. 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.

    After all the shopping we did, we worked up an appetite; not large enough to eat a full sit down…read moremeal, rather, a snack. Shake shack appeared before us, so my friend and I decided to share a burger. I t was his first time, so I stuck to the very basics - a classic single cheeseburger with parmesan garlic fries (okay, the fries weren't so basic). We used their kiosks to order which were very easy to navigate, took a number, and found a table - although all the booths were taken since it was packed. The total was around $15 pre tip ($7.99 + $5.99) which I thought was a bit steep. While we waited, we served ourselves some water and got some ketchup at the counter. We also noticed how attentive the staff were; immediately cleaning up after customers and bringing the food to your table. I typically don't tip at fast food restaurants but I am glad I tipped here since they really work for it. The food came out after about 15 minutes. The burger looked delicious, albeit a little small. I was hoping the fries would have shredded instead of grated parmesan. The fries were okay, and so was the sauce. I would have preferred the regular cheese fries. The burger was also okay. Everything tasted very fresh. I think a double patty would have made it better, but it was not worth paying $2.50 more for a thin patty. The toppings were fresh, and the cheese was perfectly melted. The bathrooms were pretty clean. I think this spot is relatively new at Wrentham and will do well - it's quick good food and there's seating.

    Tried Shake Shack today and honestly it was pretty disappointing. Our order took over 30 minutes,…read morethe trash was overflowing in both the dining room and bathroom, the fries were still cold in the middle, and by the time I finally got my drink, all the ice had already melted. If we had noticed the overflowing trash before we ordered, we definitely would not have eaten there. Definitely not the experience we expected.
