Old Original Nick's Roast Beef — Restaurant in Springfield Township

I was out in the area late and looking to see where I could grab some quick food befor going home at night. It was around midnight and I happened to see Nick's was open until 1:15am and it was a 5 minute drive from where I was.

Popped in and it was fairly empty with probably some locals around the bar and music playing. I thought I was relatively hungry and ordered two roast beef sandwiches and an order of gravy fries to go. Guy at the bar was friendly and the guy working the kitchen was fast. Fresh basket of fries dropped and I was watching how the sandwich was made. A large hunk of beef that looked to be a cross of a roast beef and a pot roast. It was all handsliced, he was so fast and he was slicing amazingly thin. And he just kept stacking! A quick splash of gravy over the meat and on the inside of the top part of the roll, then wrapped in foil. Fries were put in a little paper tray, then got a huge scoop of shredded/chopped beef and the gravy. My ride home was about 35 mins (food smelled amazing in the car) and the food was still relatively warm when I ate.

While the beef was more well done, the way it was sliced made for an incredibly tender sandwich and the juice/gravy was just the right bit if beef/onion/garlic. Fries had soaked up a lot but there was so much meat with them as well. Eyes were probably bigger than my stomach at that hour and I saved the second sandwich for the next day. Ate it cold out of the fridge and it was fine like that. Definitely going to pop in when I'm...

I went there yesterday and this girl working there was giving me an attitude.i never had a problem like this with anyone else anywhere else and it wasn't that big of a deal either.she gave me the check and said have a nice day before I paid her and I laughed while saying" hold on I still have to pay you " she immediately started giving me dirty looks while condescendingly looking at me like what are you talking about?

I tell her I have a $50 bill I need change back so I can tip you gives me an even dirtier look and sayd ooookaaay

So I explain to her it's not that big of a deal I'm sorry if I came off like I was insulting you but you don't have to talk to me like that and give me an attitude

Then she tells me I'm not allowed there anymore.i had 2 beers ,a sandwich ,was there for no more than 20 minutes and a nice conversation with three other patrons.

In no way do I deserve that kind of treatment and and after she told me that I let her know that she's making this place lose business . Unless she owns the place she needs to realize why she's there and what her job is and that's to make people feel welcome and to help this place make money not...

As an American, or maybe more as a Pennsylvanian, it is a god given right to have a roast beef restaurant/bar within 30 minutes of your home. If you live in the West Chester, PA area. Nick’s Roast Beef is your spot.

The roast beef sandwich is simply perfect. Ask for the combo and you get cheese on the sandwich. They only carry sharp provolone because it compliments the roast beef. Get a cup of gravy on the side if you like it sloppy. Apply horseradish to suit your taste. Even though I don’t always layer on banana peppers, you have that option available.

Odds are if you look around you might see someone with a small vessel of fries smothered in something. That is the gravy fries. Pick whatever meat you want on the fries and they will chop it and top it. I opt for the turkey gravy fries. It taste like the best chicken noodle soup you have ever had, then step it up a level with turkey. Once that matrimony of gravy occurs, the fries come in like an extramarital affair. Leaving you full of flavors you have not had in a while, or...
