Nippers is a quick stop and shop fast food take out hub for those in a hurry. The service is great and the food is good. Prices are good also. Burgers, hot dogs, sausages and fries for lunchtime workers are available. I recommend Nippers for those in a hurry with a good appetite.

In my humble opinion, this place has the best Thunder Bay style coney - bar none. The service is excellent and the staff is friendly. I went there for lunch once and forgot that they only accept cash and all I had was my debit card. I tried using the ATM, but my card wasn't working for some reason. The guy behind the counter said "It’s okay! Just get us back the next time you come in". I had never experienced that kind of kindness from a stranger before, and was happy to drop off the cash to them the next time I was in the area. Great place. Great people. 👍🏼 EDIT: I'm happy to report that they are no longer a "cash only" business - they accept debit now!

I gotta give this 5 stars. The bacon cheese burger is my goto. Melts in the mouth. Fast, friendly and clean service. A must see place to get your eats on. Better coneysauce anywhere in thunder bay. They only take cash, but there is an atm inside. French fries are great too. I will start making my way thru all the menu items. Pleanty of standing room and ample parking. A personal fav.

So I ve been coming here for over 25 years. Honestly it s been so long that I ve lost track. Nippers has changed owners over the years, but it s maintained it s quality and taste throughout. The prices aren t bad either even with the rise in cost of everything everywhere in recent months. All the guys are super friendly and treat everyone with respect. My fav is the double cheese no cheese burger (inside joke) and the fries are the best especially loaded with vinegar. I just wish they were open later some days.

I absolutely LOVE this place. The food is awesome, the menu keeps growing, the owner is an awesome, outgoing, and extremely friendly guy. And the staff.... they are GREAT!!!! The customer service provided at Nippers is probably the best that I have seen out of any restaurant that I have ever gone to. If I could rate this place from 1 - 100 ... The rating would be off the charts.

After years away from my hometown, decided to make the rounds and see exactly which was best. Nippers, McKellar or Coney Island. Had a burger and hotdog from each and this one is hands down the winner. Sis got large fries which were more than enough for 3 even 4 people. Friendly guys behind the counter worked like a team and got the orders out fast. Get them now tho. They are closed for 3 week in Sept 2020 (not sure why with everything just getting back to norm)

Ive lived in Thunder Bay my whole life and i gotta say nippers has always been the best place for coney dogs, burgers, and fries in town. Greeks, and coney Island have went downhill quite abit and dont even come close these days, and McKellar is just awful. Id recommend nippers over any other place that sells coney dog and burgers in town.

★★
December 23, 2019

Staff are friendly and its reasonably priced food...but incredibly greasy/unhealthy stuff. Its also closed an awful lot. And they dont accept bitcoin. I guess its better than nothing, but this neighbourhood deserves a healthier choice, though I understand that keeping the price point low is important.

Grew up on Rowand St. in the 90s and went here all the time just to get a small fries from them in a doubled up paper bag. Recently went back a couple of years ago since I dont live in Thunder Bay anymore, and found that they hadnt changed a thing, and they still had the same great taste that I once remembered!
