My in-laws are big fans of Nick's and Nick's II. I really don't know why. I can't figure out what the attraction is for the older crowd but there is a wait every time we come here as the restaurant is packed with older folks. Perhaps it's the large portions at cheap prices that has them overlooking the fact that the food is really not that great. The salad I had on our recent visit to Nick's II was a plate of romaine lettuce with a slice of tomato with 2 kalamata olives. Seriously. The veggie wrap didn't have any dressing or sauce with it and was so bland it was ridiculous. I asked for some balsamic and the server looked at me like I was crazy...and the balsamic never came. My husband had a ham and cheese sandwich that you would think would be hard to screw up...but again...blech. They used hand carved ham which SHOULD be WONDERFUL but they gave him the fattiest pieces on the ham so all he was chewing was huge hunks of fat. Not appetizing. The staff were all on edge because Nick (or at least who I think was Nick--older guy speaking with an accent wearing a Chef coat) was eagle-eyeing what the staff was doing in the dining room and critiquing. I wish he would spend more time in the kitchen and work on that dish-soap flavored chicken lemon rice soup or perhaps get creative instead of using frozen products to pass off as homemade. \n\nAgain, I don't know what the attraction is to Nick's or Nick's II but I will be doing my best to avoid both locations. You get what you pay for when you pay for cheap food....
