If you’re craving Italian food, there’s no other place quite like Nik’s.The food is delicious and doesn’t leave you feeling lethargic or in a food coma.The portion sizes are more than enough for one person and the dishes are reasonably priced. The service is fantastic and Camren, forgive my spelling if it’s incorrect, always treats each table with diligence and compassion.The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. I highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan with the Jalapeño Lime sauce as the entree.The Longhorn Ravioli is also a great appetizer.To finish it off, you MUST get the Bananas Foster otherwise you’re missing out!

Thank you so much for the kind review and for choosing to dine with us! We love Kameron, too, and it looks like you've hacked the menu with your suggested menu items, those are some of my favorites as well! We hope you can come see us again before March 24th, it will be our last day open.
We love love Nik’s.Please don’t close it down 🙏 Buzzy vibe. Has the feel of a neighborhood bar and restaurant too Good looking bar with multiple large TV screens. Solid cocktails Terrible ordering system.Poor service setup.One person running all over the place.Felt bad for him. Legendary - probably as good as it gets • Spicy Mexican Tini Loved - must order again • Mexican Martini • . • Penne mushroom chicken pasta *** • Vodka chicken pasta - ask for a little less red sauce • Jalapeño chicken pasta - ask for fresh instead of pickled jalapeños Liked - not all that bad but not super • The bread

Thank you for the review and your patronage! We are really sad to be closing as well, but I hope you can come dine with us again before March 24th.The support from the community has been overwhelming as we close this chapter.Thank you again.
We ended up going to Nik’s on a Saturday night because they didn’t have a wait.The atmosphere inside is great.It’s clean and well decorated with a beautiful little outdoor sitting area.We were promptly greeted and led to a table.That’s where things took a turn. They lack a waitstaff and they ask you to use a QR code and order from your phone.You order drinks at the same time so you only have water as you wait. Menu was a mix of cuisines- minor Italian pasta dishes that appear very basic (which you add ingredients to after for an up charge- meat, veggies, seasoning), some American fare like burgers, Mexican food, and the oddly placed pot roast nachos!? Prices were decent and kids menu was good. Food was very lackluster.Meatballs seemed store bought, boiled with no flavor and sauce tasted tinny and plating was messy.Staff that brought out the food was very nice but nobody ever checked on your table forcing us to reorder and recharge our drinks just so that we could get a refill (extra charges were later taken off) Probably would not return, but decent if everywhere else is full.
