I finally got a chance to eat at this Calgary landmark. I was honestly a bit surprised. The service was amazing. Very attentive and professional wait staff and the food came very quickly. Unfortunately, the steak was not great, especially for the price. The location is pretty good, and they have some parking bit not close to enough. Come early or spend 15 min circling around looking for a spot until you finally park in a crosswalk... I was a lot of that. Cool place, wouldn't go back. There are steakhouses with better steak for the same price.

The best steak house in Calgary for us! ❤️ First bite of their steak and we knew instantly we’ll keep coming back to Nick’s. Aside from the steak, everything else is perfect too - the pastas, salad and sides are great; the servers are very nice and friendly and the ambiance is good.

Visited Calgary and had a Double visit over Remembrance Day weekend. Philly steak 1st visit. Pizza the second. Seriously... The staff were so genuine, friendly and attentive. This place should be a model restaurant for anyone who owns a dine in establishment. Food was super, and the staff over the top... Can't wait to get back to Calgary again and drop by Nick's...

The food is here is outstanding! The portions are quite big and the quality of the food is excellent. I've dined out a lot recently and found the quality and portions in most places are getting subpar, not the case here. The dressings on the greek and house salad are sooo good! The sausage pasta dish and philly cheesesteak were exceptional! Will definitely be back to try more. Service was exceptional as well. I appreciate that this is an independent and family owned restaurant, too!

This is an independently owned restaurant in NW Calgary. A lot of parking with an overflow lot. The service could not be better. Our server returned several times when we were eating and she was very helpful and friendly. We had meatballs as an appetizer. Obviously homemade with marinara made from scratch. Very flavourful. The "half" serving of lasagna was huge made with the same amazing sauce. The six ounce sirloin was cooked perfectly and with the baked potato came a suite of toppings to choose from. Salad is included with each entree and the lettuce was crisp and tasty. Nick's reminds me of the independent restaurants I went to as a kid. The decor inside is beautifully taken care of. Food is reasonably priced and we will definitely be back. Thanks for an amazing dinner. Update: we came back for a birthday dinner. The spaghetti and meatballs were quite possibly the largest portion I've ever seen served to one person. Meatballs are pork and beef seasoned perfectly. The broiled salmon was served with a Cajun butter. Another perfect dining experience.

This place is a Calgary institution! Service could be a bit quicker over the lunch hour, as 40 mins for the food to arrive made it for a rush to get back to the office. Food was good, pub-quality grub.

Finally stopped by this cozy restaurant after driving by it for years. Food was great, steak was perfectly cooked and chicken came out moist and well seasoned. Portions are quite generous considering their reasonable prices. Will definitely be back. Also huge thank you to Ethan, our waiter, it's amazing to see young men with such remarkable manners. Amazing establishment.

Took myself out for steak dinner at Nicks and ordered a classic steak and mashed potatoes. The steak came out cooked to my liking and the roasted beets and carrots were nice as well, however the mashed potatoes were very watery (would need a spoon to eat😅) when I asked the server they offered me a different side dish but as it was 45min to close they couldn’t do another order as it was just myself. They did offer a slice of cheesecake in place of the side…who can say no to cheesecake😁 I would try going again but maybe not by myself.

We had a great experience. The atmosphere was nice and the service was speedy. The poutine we had was hot and tasty, with good crisp to the fries. The Greek salad I had was as good as Ive ever had, and the veal parmesan was superb. Portion sizes were big too! It was the best food I had in Calgary and I wish I had a restaurant like this where I live.

Despite asking for extra sauce on my 2 takeout pizzas, neither had extra sauce. Also, the Athenian pizza looked nothing like the one on Facebook, or on previous orders, which is loaded with feta cheese. Mine came with a sprinkle of feta cheese. When I pay $76 for 2 pizzas, I expect them to go the extra mile and acknowledge my request. We have ordered these pizzas from Nicks for many years, and they have definitely have gone downhill. Also, I should mention that the sauce on the Athenian was bland, not spicy as it used to be. When I phoned to tell them, they offered to give me a pot of sauce if I wanted to return.

Youre paying for overpriced nostalgia. Was there for lunch. The personal size pizza is tiny and poor quality. It consisted of average quality crust, a thin layer of cheese 4 pieces of pepperoni and a thimble of sauce. Supermarket frozen pizzas are vastly superior. My wife and our lunch companions were not impressed either. The ceaser salad was fine. Not bad not great. Atmosphere is what you expect, it hasnt changed in the 40 years Ive been going. To some thats a bonus. Service was mediocre as well, server constantly interrupted our conversations and spent maybe 15 seconds at the table. All efficiency and no charm. Again, not necessarily terrible, but it doesnt add to a great experience. I would expect to pay maybe 60% of what they charge. Totally overpriced for the quality.

Went with four friends from work after a conference. The restaurant was busy as it was supper time. Our waiter was very friendly and quick to take our order and deliver our drinks, appetizer and meals. The steak was delicious and the sides were hot and plentiful. Unfortunately, we had no room for dessert. Would recommend dining here if you are in the area.

September 28: overcrowded+++ Customers allowed tp put several tables together, creating a huge mass of people and noise. The waitresses leaned over our table to serve the mass and had little time for our table. The mass table also blocked the exit, which was the fire exit as well. No action was taken by Nick s staff to reduce the size of the mass rabble, clear the aisle & improve safety. Spoke with the manager who seemed sympathetic but did nothing to improve our experience and improve safety at the exit. Sadly, this very poor experience with dining and safety will deter us from ever going to Nick s again.

Nicks Steakhouse is an awesome place to fill one s stomach with a great meal. When deciding where to go for dinner nicks was the closest option and had good reviews so we decided to give it a try. The meal delivered way above expectations. The steak was cooked/seasoned perfect, the house salad was yummy, portions were big, service was excellent, and prices were well justified. Can t recommend this restaurant enough to anyone that is looking for a great steak meal, even the pasta dishes looked amazing. 5 stars from me!

Nicks is one of Calgarys treasures, and a family favoured tradition!

We came from Winnipeg and were staying close by to Nicks. I remembered going there after the Bombers won the Grey Cup in 2019. Brought the family and we all loved it. Ryan our server was fantastic and the food was exceptional. We left calgary for Banff and Golden with many stops in between. When we returned to Calgary we were staying across town but we decided to return to Nicks for supper again as we all enjoyed it so much. Wouldnt you know it we got put in the same booth and Ryan was there again to serve us. A second fantastic meal was enjoyed and I swear we wouldve gone back every night. Food is out of this world. We enjoyed Greek salad, calamari, spaghetti, kids burger, pizza, veal parm and steak. Top notch.

The food was decent but the service was horrendous. Waited forever to get drinks and we were the only table in there. Upon telling them that the pop was flat both my husband and the other couple with us were treated like it was our fault and was an inconvenience. I don t appreciate spending money in an establishment that the waiter talks down to you. Two people at our table ordered alcoholic beverages and the drinks were forgotten. Again, we were the only table in at that time. So being busy could not be an excuse. The one girl stood up front in her phone while we sat there wanting to order. Even exchanging the flat pop took forever. We asked if all the pop would be flat and and he answered yes probably in a condescending tone. We won t be back unfortunately.

I had brunch with a friend and ordered eggs Benedict, which is one of my all-time favourites at other restaurants. I had to send it back. I asked for the eggs to be medium and they were runny. Also, the hollandaise sauce was a bitter taste and disgusting.I can eat anything so for me to send something back is not normal. My friend had the BELCH And she said it tasted off . They were good about returning it and bringing me Beef dip, which was also mediocre. The place hasn t been updated since I went there for my nurse and graduation in 1989. It feels rundown now. The waitress was nice and accommodating, but I won t be going back.

September 21, 2024

The place was nice, nice staff. The pizza was gross. The sauce was sweet, unexpectedly sweet, instead of savory. The ham and pepperoni was rubbery and the processed texture of the ham mixed with the sweet sauce made the pizza inedible. Im American, Ive had pizza from Italy, maybe its fine pizza for the locals, but it was a bad experience.

Family-friendly, homey atmosphere. The food took a little longer to come than we wouldve hoped (hence the 4 stars). But Pizza was great; they werent shy with the toppings! The server was polite and seemed to genuinely care about us and our experience there. Kid-friendliness: Our kids liked it there. We didnt have to worry about them being too loud or anything like that, because there seemed to be quite a few families with kids there. They were given an activity sheet with some crayons/markers to occupy them for a while. The waiter asked if wed like their food out ahead of ours, which is good if your kids have a hard time waiting and take a long time to eat meals.

We visited Calgary in the summer of July 2024 and figured we had to go to a steak place for the Alberta beef. Found Nick s and its rave reviews via google search. The place is not much of a looker very old school and dark colours. But man, the steak??!! You can tell by the look on my son s face how excited he was to eat the 12oz ribeye. So juicy and perfectly medium rare. I would visit again and again if I lived close by. Dan the man was our server and he really *was* the man. Dan was awesome, so attentive without being hovering or intrusive. He took the time to make sure we were well cared for. My oldest has a severe gluten allergy and Dan recommended some gf dishes. At first he said the rice was safe. But then he came back after checking with the kitchen to let us know there was traces of gluten in it (probably due to the chicken broth it is cooked in). My son ended up getting the salmon and baked potato. Overall I give this place 5/5. Classic example of don t judge a book by its cover. It s not a looker, but you will leave super happy with satisfied tastebuds and full bellies.

I do forget being here that portion sizes are huge! So be prepared for big meals and leftovers!

Nicks Steakhouse and Pizza is simply awesome! The staff are so friendly and you cant beat the food, even the size of the meals that come out of that kitchen. I think they thrive with the chaos on Stampeder game days with lineups and the amount of food coming out of the kitchen. Theres usually not too long of a wait either. My husband and I usually share a meal before heading over to the game because of the big portions. I dont think weve had a bad meal there. Ever. I just ask for light cheese because I cant handle too much. Other than that, we both highly recommend checking this gem of a restaurant out because we love going there! Parking: When going to the football games we usually park a little ways up the street on the same side of the road at the Church parking lot where they charge $10 and proceeds go the food hampers so we always pay $20 because it goes to a good cause. Kid-friendliness: We see families of all ages there at Nicks, They even have birthday parties there. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes the restaurant has wheelchair accessibility.

Our server Eric could have been a radio announcer, very nice voice. Calm, polite, kind with children. The steak was good, portions generous, price reasonable. My son got a free cheesecake for his party as well as a little song from the waiters/waitresses. The atmosphere is perfectly retro, brown, orange and solid wood are in the spotlight. Thats what we wanted. It feels like its 1970, without the cigarette smoke, very satisfied.

A classic Calgary spot. Food and menu are tried and true and good quality, and the service is good. The decor is what it is - reminds us of the good ol days, a comfortable environment to dine in. We like the lasagna, so we get take-out when we want to grab something on the way home, but the portions are now smaller and the price is higher - same thing with every restaurant in town, unfortunately. Nicks is still a go-to place for the family, and our out-of-town guests have really enjoyed the food. Highly recommend.

Charlye was great. She kept my water glass full, was cheerful, polite, friendly. My liver was very good, ordered without the gravy. The portion was large, ordered the one piece. Next time Im in Calgary Ill be back, really want to try the pizza.

We liked everything about this place: the atmosphere, it was not too loud - you could have a normal conversation without yelling, the music was nicely playing at the right sound level in the background, the service provided by Dan was excellent and so was the food that did not take long to come. You could sense a good entrepreneurship. If there were more places like this we would definately go out to eat more often.

came here for the first time yesterday. wasn t busy, it s a spacious big restaurant. our server gave us a lot of time to decide on the menu and never made us feel rushed. we decided on bruschetta to start, which came with sliced baguettes. it was tasty! for mains i went with the full sized lasagna, and that came with salad to start. the salad came first. it was peppery but i liked it. the lasagna was a little liquid-y at the bottom, as they usually are. the server topped it with as much parmesan as we wanted! i think it will be tastier the next day as leftovers! for dessert we had the oreo cheesecake! it mainly tasted like chocolate cake tho, not really like oreo. would ve needed that certain crumble base and maybe some bits in the cake. as a chocolate cake it was great. we saw the servers all enjoying a meal together after which was nice to see. we sat talking for a while after our meals, actually didn t realize we stayed past closing by 10 min! our server never mentioned they had closed!! overall everyone was so kind and we had a great time here!

Portions bigger that could humble the hungriest diner and price tags to match. I found the food decent although it wasnt for me. The service could be better; our table of 4 adults and two kids were looking for the staff for beverages or whatnot several times during our visit. We visited on a non-Stampeders day and parking was not plentiful.

We were looking for a nice steak house to celebrate after a university graduation and Nicks was perfect in every single way! It is the type of place thats been in business for decades with consistent service and menu. We had the steak, pizza, Philly cheesesteak, and appetizers and all ranked at the top of our lists... And we have eaten out a lot! The service was amazing. 10/10 recommend!

Im a former Restaurant owner and Chef so I may be more critical than others. Ordered the large Lasagna and a Petros pizza. The pizza looked good when it arrived first bite I could taste garlic butter, the kind that comes in the big commercial pail tastes like margarine and garlic salt, I didnt care for it. The sauce was tomato sauce not the meat sauce as advertised although there was ground beef on top. The meat was OK but the cheese was low quality. Lasagna was a bunch of noodles topped with sauce and cheese, mediocre. Disappointed, I expected better for the price. Wont be back

Great place with lots of sports memorabilia on the walls. We came with our track team and they were very good about separating our cheques and being patient with our crew coming in. The staff were fantastic. As a dairy free vegetarian they were able to give me spaghetti with just red sauce. It was a tiny on the blanks side, so would have been nice to see some better options or more flavour but overall an excellent place!

Nearly 20 years ago, I attended a conference at the University of Calgary. I had dinner at Nicks one evening, and I, a Texas born and raised, son of a cattle rancher, had what still ranks as the best steak I have ever eaten. Years later, Im still trying to find reasons to get back to Calgary and visit Nicks.

Nick s is a staple, and since moving to Banff Trail, I ve come here a lot and never been dissatisfied. It s a classic example of if it ain t broke, don t fix it. The 70 s style is so nostalgic, the music isn t too loud so you can actually have a conversation, it s casual, but you can dress nicely if you want and you ll fit in just fine. And the food is delicious. Prices have gone up of course, but you still get a full course meal cooked to perfection and it s absolutely worth the price. I brought my mom for her birthday today and we had an amazing meal with beautifully seasoned steaks and to die for mashed potatoes. Our server was Jeremy and he did a great job of being attentive and not invasive.

Ate here with a large group of 25. They had one server looking after the entire table and he did a pretty good job but drinks were slow. And when the food came out every plate was auctioned off instead of being handed to who ordered it. Steaks were really expensive and my friends who had them thought they were average. I had lasagna with meatballs. The meat balls were great. Flavourful and moist. The lasagna was more like beefaroni than lasagna with a very bland meat sauce. It was buried under a ton of mozzarella. Not layered, no ricotta or bechamel. Very average food but again, prices are very high. Not sure I ll try again given the feedback from others at our table.

Service was exceptional, I noticed their waiters were mostly that of teens or young adults which was a lovely change and not something you see everyday, I brought my elderly mother there for her 76th birthday, she loved it, and she loved her food as well, I brought my kids as well and they loved the atmosphere as well, the service was really the part that stuck out for me. You leave feeling good after being waited on like they do there. Highly recommend, if you ask for your steak well done, they will give it to you.....very well done. Only part I wasnt fond of but not their fault, more mine and Ill be ask for med well next time instead. Kid-friendliness: They are very kind to kids :) Wheelchair accessibility: I would say yes a wheel chair could go here but its a very tight squeeze to move around the restaurant.

The keg and Earls are much better IMO.

Absolutely the worst dining experience ever. EVER ! The place is dated beyond belief, like 70s decor. The veal cutlet seemed pre-fabd from ground veal, with a far from crisp, outright soggy, breading. Accompanied by 2 asparagus spears, and potatoes that were such a mix of hot & cold as to suggest that they were microwaved out of the frig. The hollandaise sauce literally separated on the plate. Cant comment directly on my other guests meals, but suffice it to say that none of them, not one, finished what they were served. And the table next to us was carrying on what appeared to be some sort of laptop webinar meeting. Annoying if it was clientele, but it was A FRKN STAFF MEETING !!

I have been going to Nicks on and off for almost 30 years. Recently, sunday, Feb11/24 my wife and I decided to go for an early valentines dinner. upon arrival, the hostess was speaking on the phone,, and gestured to us,2, and then proceeded to point at one of the the EMPTY restaurants booths. I thought that to be a little off, but we went and sat down. the waitress, a young long blond haired girl, that did not introduce herself, then came to take our order. we started with greek salad, that was anything but a greek salad upon arrival. we had LARGE tomato wedges, Large pieces of green pepper, an over abundance of Cucumber, and it all sat on a bed of lettuce with some sort of dressing that my wife and I are still both trying to figure out what it was! and we expected feta cheese and instead, there was some sort of crumbled cheese on it,, I pretty sure was just parmesan. the steak was expensive, my rib eye,, supposedly 12 ounce, was thin and over cooked, I asked for medium rare and was handed medium well. my wife says her steak was acceptable, however, it, as well, was no where near the 8 ounces she ordered. the accompaniments, a soggy piece of broccoli, and a beet cut in half, not sure if it was even cooked, and two pieces of what we think to be parsnip! the baked potatoes, which were actually boiler size, not baker size were cold and hard! and when I tried to explain what we felt wrong with the meal, we were immediately snapped at by the waitress, and at that point my wife just gestured to me to not even waste my time. Just to close, after we had paid, and gotten up, I was still waiting for the Whipped,,,BUTTER??? to melt on the half on my baked potato. all in all one of the WORST dining experiences I have ever had in my 68 years. I do not know what happened, but Nicks has gone downhill to a place that should be closed and torn down!!!!! and the waitress should be let go right away before she starts a fight with one of the customers over a cold potato!!!! Parking: it was quite empty at the time we went and not much to our surprise, after our meal we realized why

I ve been visiting Nick s since my university days when I had time in between classes. It s been awhile since I visited so my husband and I were in the mood for a pizza that we could eat at the restaurant. Happily after many years I found Nick s quality of food and staff service still on point. Although the restaurant was packed , our waitress Katie delivered exceptional service , was very knowledgeable about the menu and was upbeat and friendly. Looking forward to visiting again soon for our next sit down pizza !!

I only discovered Nick s because family started working there. I was there on Valentine s Day. The host/hostess was super friendly and directed me to my table where I found a dozen roses on the table and a bottle of the Grayson Cellars Cab Sauv with two glasses, how romantic! (My husband did request this). We then were served by Taylor who introduced herself with a great smile and charismatic personality who also insured we were comfortable and cozy. She is a long hair blonde girl who is a pleasure to be served by. We started with the Nicks Greeks salad with home made house Greek dressing. By the way, so delicious. The feta on it is so outstanding! We got garlic prawns as an appetizer and steaks as a main cooked to perfection. I had the filet and my husband had the strip-loin cooked to perfection. Came with a salad and steamed veggies as a side, not to mention the baked to perfection BAKED potato still wrapped in foil to hold in the heat to melt my whipped butter then topped off with sour cream in house made bacon bits and chives. I was so full after the Nicks portions that I had to take my dessert to go. But I must mention that the dessert we got was cheesecake and it is make in house and my oh my it s so fluffy and tastes great even the next day. Our server checked regularly to make sure our meal was good and to our standards and held up the Nicks reputation. This was one of my best dining experiences as are all my nicks steakhouse visits in all of my life. Nicks has exceeded the reputation they hold countless times on all of my visits and my employees are exceptional. Our waitress Taylor was personable and friendly and had lots of knowledge about the menu. I will be dining again. Nicks is romantic and family friendly and can accommodate any occasion. Can t wait until my next visit.
