A down-home, casual kind of neighborhood place that is cheerfully noisy and comfortable. If you love lobster and wings, at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. My daughter, son-in-law and I (all self-professed foodies) went for the lobster special and the wings-- and we were not disappointed. We ordered one of the lobsters and shared it. It was outstanding-- tender, succulent, and fresh, as good as any I have had in Maine. The onion rings that came with it were great-- crisp, not soggy, and the batter stuck to the onion when you bit or cut into it, in other words the onion slice didn't slide out and leave the batter shell behind the way most onion rings do when you chomp into them. The salad that came with the lobster was okay, nothing fancy, but fresh and enjoyable. The corn on the cob was drab, a little chewy, could have been better. We also ordered the large platter (about 25--30?) of medium spicy wings and they were awesome-- crispy, flavorful, not greasy, just the right amount of kick and not overdone and dried out at all. Yum! As for the fried clams appetizer, although we did eat them all up they were the least favorite part of the meal-- overfried and sitting in a pool of greasy butter. I definitely would not order them again. Overall, we were very happy with the experience, left feeling pleasantly satisfied, and the service was great. All of the above, plus two iced teas--all for $57 dollars for 3 people, including tax and tip! Really, you can't beat it. Not fancy or gourmet, just solid and very tasty and good! A must go for wings-lovers and...
Read moreFor the first timer experience I would have to say hands down the best spot for service, hospitality, ambiance, and sporty events. I saw the hole team being very diligent on cleaning and serving the patrons with efficiency. I will most definitely be returning. Took the wife here to curb her craving and was not let down. A friend of mine told me about this place and now I'm telling you about it. Take it from me. If you want a great meal cooked to your preference I suggest taking the drive to Nicky's. The bathrooms are decent and clean and the seating is covid enforced. My server was a delight and pleasure to have. She was on point with everything we needed and had a very friendly attitude. They had sports on the tv's so of course I was happy. The ambiance is of a sports bar but also a cozy restaurant with space and comfort. Have yourself a treat and visit Nicky's you won't be let down. Enjoy and stay safe. I will see you soon for...

Ordered two burger platters, one buffalo chicken wrap and one full size order of hot wings.
Asked for a medium burger and a rare burger. They were more medium rare and raw but hey, they tried. All we did was pop it back on the heat.
The buffalo chicken wrap could have been spicier, I was anticipating it..but it was on the very mild side on the scale. I did enjoy the blue cheese dressing that came with the wings to dip my wrap in.
My sweet potato fries were limp. I would suggest if a restaurant is to serve any fried foods to-go, to put them in a paper bag to keep them from steaming and becoming soggy. I had to crisp my fries up and we live 2 minutes down the road from Nickys.
Wings were good. Ordered hot from mild, medium or hot. Would order the wings again!
Overall, it was a good meal for something nearby and...
