I love the retro feel of this place. The staff is very friendly but I wasn’t so impressed with the pizza. I’m not a fan of the sweeter tomato sauce and the flavour of the toppings was a little lacklustre, but the crust was pretty good.
Let’s do the Time Warp, again. Where to start? This is like stepping back into a different era, when Calgary was ALL steak and pizza and baked potatoes loaded with sour cream and chives — chives were so exotic then, and dainty. This place was really coming of age and with it, our tastebuds. And good old Nick, your letchy uncle peering from the menu, the omnipresent Zorba the Greek and a symbol of perseverance and determination in a new, urban and swishy Alberta emerging from a half a century of religious fundamentalist rule. Just look at the hair. We can imagine the white shirt opened down to a hairy chest. Ahh, the freedom! And the memories. Yes, good old Nick’s. I’m not even sure if he’s dead by now, if not he’s probably in some palliative care unit at the Foothills Hospital. But it doesn’t matter, he’ll be forever etched into the collective consciousness off all who have called this city home before oil money came in and wrecked it. Some things don’t change and some things shouldn’t .
Had always drove by this place going down crowchild tr.. finally got to try it with the in laws. I got the 8 oz center cut sirloin. It comes with a tossed salad, garlic toast, veggies and your choice of sides: rice, baked, mash or fries. Got the baked potato and they brought out the condiments of herbed butter, sour cream, green onion and bacon. Made the baked potato really good. The steak was marinaded well and cooked perfectly as requested medium rare. Hubby and I shared the mud pie. Would definitely come back again.
Finally decided to try this place after driving by for years. Definitely not dissapointed. The decor is 70s and true to form. I loved it. There was nothing stuffy about it. Very true to itself.The service and the server were fantastic. We had the lamb chop and the veal. The meat was exemptional and the vegetables were perfect. The mashed potatoes were a bit bland but that was it. Enjoyed it and will be coming back.
Ordered pizza and wings. Fast delivery. Pizza pretty good, tasty, wings were frikken awesome. Would definitely order from them again. Yummy.
I had never been to Nick’s but since moving to Calgary I’d heard much about it. It used to be, supposedly, a place where any dish on the menu would be amazing – you just couldn’t go wrong. Well, I gave it a try with my husband and honestly I doubt I would ever go back after that.My first impression was it’s very dark and gloomy, the decorations and lighting seemed dated and not in a charming way once you really started looking around. It looks like it was built in the 70s and never grew from there.The server wasn’t super helpful with recommendations so I ended up ordering a classic Chicken Parmesan with baked potato and vegetables. The vegetables were bland. The potato was so tiny – I’ve had bigger baby potatoes. The only thing that saved it was the topping tray with sour cream, bacon bits, green onion… at least the potato was cooked through. The chicken parm was overcooked, I’d hoped the garlic toast would be useful in soaking up the extra sauce that should have been there but there was so little that the breading on the parm had absorbed most of it by the time it hit the table. There wasn’t much cheese and it wasn’t the soft delicious coating it should have been.After the bland, overcooked, disappointing tasteless meal I’m not sure I want to bother trying the pizza they’re famous for. If this restaurant was a gem once, it’s come down a long way and needs to revive some of its lost quality if it wants to stay around much longer on more than just a name. It would be nice if they find someone who cares enough to revive it.
We; as a family of 5 visit Nick’s 4 or 5 times a year, usually for a birthday or a special occasion, or just to go out for a meal, we have been visiting this restaurant for the past few years, we have always had a great experience, the food has consistently been excellent, the service is always superb, we will continue to go back to Nick’s in the near future, would definitely recommend to anyone, they do have a variety of different types of food.
