This was a very good place to eat. It was two of us and we had the steak and crab cake, no drinks just sodas, and some crab bread. When we got our bill it was one hundred dollars not a family budget place. It could have been marked up also for bike week. more

This restaurant looks like Adams Ribs (lots of wood, Tiffany lighting) and we loved it. Food was excellent, the service great. All the drinks are served in Mason jars! Go before 6pm and no wait (true of most restaurants in OC) We (including the kids) loved it and will return. more

Fromm the drinks in the mason jars to the crab cakes/ribs it is a very good place. Just get there early so you can be seated because it is so good. more

Wonderful waitress who was obviously busy but always made sure... more

We ordered carry out last weekend...we've had much better ribs. They were charred/burned with not much sauce and just not very flavorful. We didn't get any sauce in our order, maybe that would have made a difference? No one in our family of four really liked them. The baked potato was very good, kids liked the steak fries, rolls were... more

We have been going to Nick's for as long as I can remember. The food is always consistent and delicious. We always take our out of town guests there and the ones that don't get ribs get the crab cakes and they rave about them...I finally tried them...they are the best in my opinion. I like them better than the... more
