The service was great, the food was delicious and the atmosphere is family oriented and has such a hometown feel to it.

First of all, the food is outstanding. You'll be delighted no matter what you order. The service was perfect (very attentive). The ambiance feels like a small home town vibe. Very comfortable! The best part was sitting outside by the water and enjoying a cold beer and nibbling on leftovers.

Best view of any restaurant in the area. Diane and brittany gave amazing service. We love the view especially the cute little chicken running by outside by the water. I highly recommend their coleslaw. Delicious. You can't go wrong with Nicks.

This is a true local fresh catch seafood joint!! Amazing!! Like no way you can beat it

Nicks is along a remote section of the highway and by the amount of cars in the lot we figured it had to be decent. Mostly locals, it seemed. There was a table full of officers who were finishing up their meal when we arrived. There were lots of families, kids of all ages. The walls are lined with some really great pics and memories (maybe of the family?) and also some pretty impressive w trophies from hunting and fishing trips. There's lots to see. I didn't get a pic but my husband had the fish sandwich. It was huge. Three large pieces of fish. Would be enough to share. I ordered a half pound steamed shrimp. It was very tasty. We also ordered a fried shrimp platter that my son and daughter shared along with a grilled cheese for my other kid. The side of hush puppies was more than i realized.... They were really good too. The food was all seasoned well. Only one complaint.... Service was pretty rough. We got there around 1:45.... Waitstaff was frazzled at the hind end of a lunch rush and tho we were seated fairly quickly, we sat quite a while waiting for someone to come address us. Maybe they were just having a bad day? If we were locals, we'd definitely be back. The food was great and the casual mood was just our style. I'd go back with low expectations for a warm welcome tho....

We swung by Nick's Seafood on a random weeknight shortly after Christmas. The weather outside was chilly and windy, but inside the restaurant was warm and cozy. Decorated with all kinds of evidence of small town love, this casual restaurant was one of the most welcoming places I've ever been inside! The items I would recommend: *Fish of the day - We got a blackened trout (which was the fish of that day) with two sides. The fish was cooked to perfection and fantastic. The sides were delicious. The mac and cheese side was yummy, but the side of okra with tomatoes (cooked together with pieces of bacon/sausage - sorry, not sure which - for a meaty boost in flavor) was my favorite. *Shrimp - I also recommend getting a grilled or blackened shrimp. It's one of the most tender shrimp you'll eat. So succulent, you'll be tempted to order more! One thing to note, this restaurant is really reasonably priced. You would pay way more across the bay for the same meal. The portions are also very fair and it'll fill you up for sure. Some fun facts about the restaurant: *Captain Nick (owner) closes the eatery to go fishing on Mondays and Tuesdays. Anything he catches then will be served at the restaurant during the rest of the week, so you know the seafood here is local and fresh. *A lot of kids living in the area get their first jobs here, and it's been that way for years. They all seem to be treated well here, and the kids that served us did a wonderful job! *We got to meet Captain Nick and he was one of the nicest and sweetest people you'd ever meet (so were the customers!). He gave us a grand tour of the land where pigs/piglets, turkeys, chickens/roosters are kept in the back of the restaurant. Some of the animals were free-range and friendly. It was fun to see! All in all, Nick's Seafood is well worth the drive from across the bay. Scenic roads all the way to the restaurant, scrumptious foods and the most lovely people to greet us at the end, we drove from Destin and we'll definitely be making the drive again!

Good food, friendly service, cute inviting atmosphere! We ordered a few things including fried shrimp, fried fish of the day (tile fish), and hush puppies which are delicious. Also we had fried green tomatoes and crawfish, each very good as well. There are little piglets and chickens roaming the area outside which is so cute and fun for the little ones. Overall great experience, recommend!

Super local spot! This was our first time trying this place out. We didn't really know what to expect. We stopped in on a Wednesday night, it was pretty busy but we were able to find a spot. We got the tuna dip appetizer. It was delicious! The home made pita chips were a great addition. The food took almost an hour to arrive, probably because there were so many other patrons. The food arrived fresh & hot. It was super tasty and I felt it was affordable. I got fried fish, okra and French fries. Delish! What a great view too.
