    The best crab sandwich in my opinion. It a has a nice light flavor to it. Very fresh and the bread they chose I think pairs perfect with it. Also the fish and chips is a must. The crab cakes are super yummy to so defiant order those! I love the vibe inside the restaurant. It definitely give iykyk vibes. You can see the beautiful ocean outside from sitting inside the restaurant. They also have a bar on the opposite side of the dining room. The staff that work there are always super friendly and can always recommend something if you aren't sure what to get.

    3.5 stars. The food was decent. Over priced. The view depends on the time of day. The place is a bit outdated and chaotic. The service was good.

    14 of us came here for dinner and dancing on a Friday night. We had a reservation for 5:00pm. I wasn't so hungry so ordered a Cesar salad while my husband had raviolis entree in red sauce. The salad was a bit overdressed but the raviolis were hearty and excellent. We ended up dancing to live music at Nicks after. The singer had a great voice. A young waiter was busy filling all the patrons water glasses in the bar area. It was a packed Friday night. The tiled floors in the bar area were extremely sticky. It was difficult to dance on. My recommendation is that Nicks put in a nice wooden floor suitable for dancing.

    Old school spot with an AMAZING waterfront view. Got the famous crab sandwich with onion rings and a side of clam chowder -- and I was very happy with my choice. The crab sandwich was huge, so I only ate half and saved the rest for lunch the next day. We also go the garlic bread, which was so buttery that when I took my first bite the butter oozed out and dripped down my chin! Generally, the food is greasier than I typically eat, but it's fine every once in a while (especially for the view!).

    Opened almost a century ago! Good service, good food, nice rustic atmosphere. We enjoyed their fish & chips, fried calamari, crab salad and ample desserts: New York Style cheese cake and "Mud Pie" (Wait till you see these pictures) Great food selections and a full bar. Huge plus is plenty of parking!

    My husband and I love hiking at Rockaway beach, we have passed by Nicks so many times and this last time we finally came in! Everything we had was short of amazing! We had drinks at the bar. Yum. They had live music playing, the band was pretty good, the people super nice. Very nice older crowd. The food was AMAZING. Definitely coming here as often as we are in this area!! Check them out!!

    Nick's Seafood Restaurant definitely delicious. A little pricey? Maybe. A little dated on the decor? Absolutely. Memorable? You betcha! Fabulous friends wanted me to experience Nick's and their delicious dungeness crab sandwiches to which they are famous for. Thankful Mike C coordinated a gathering here! We started out with breaded and fried calamari, the most delicious onion rings I have ever had, and their noteworthy clam chowder. When it came time for me to order my main, I got temporarily blinded by the whole dungeness crab entree. At about the same price as the sandwich, I couldn't resist. So glad I didn't. Even tho I could only finish half of it (remember we had appetizers!), thoroughly enjoyed the marinated dungeness crab... so much so that I snuck back about a month later to do a repeat of that whole and marinated dungeness ! Lovely Restaurant to enjoy seafood and an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean! Attached onto rooms for rent, and l a rge parking lot, one could really enjoy the filling seafood and a nap after while rubbing a contented belly!
