Nick's Steakhouse & Pizza

Great food, amazing ambiance, classic family restaurant. This place should be a Calgary landmark. An applicable 90's quote, "I'll be back"

Stopped in here based on its proximity to our hotel and will definitely be going back. Nick's is a throwback for any 80's child. As soon as we walked up to the restaurant I knew it was going to be amazing. It was like the place came out of a time capsule. The red vinyl benches in the booth took me back. My wife said she knew what the menu's art would look like before she even opened it and I knew exactly what she meant. It was nostalgia.

Our server and the wait staff were all friendly. It was a quiet Wednesday night, so we had a very attentive waiter that made sure everything was just right. I'm sure if it were busier we still would have had a great detail of attention paid to us.

Portions here are on the larger scale. Make sure you ask before you order too much! We had a small lunch for 5 the next day based off of our leftovers.

Any place that is a steak and pizza restaurant has to have good pizza and the kids loved theirs. The pizza bread was cheesy and fantastic, with more than a paper thin crust. The meat sauce to dip it in was thick and tasty, seasoned perfectly. And portion size was on the larger size. The pizza was a nice thick slice with ample toppings. No skimping here.

The house salad was tasty, if not a little over dressed. I'm a little different here given recent weight loss goals, but if I had to find fault it would be that the salad dressing was a little much. Tasty for sure, but a little too much of it. But don't get me wrong, I still finished the salad!

My wife shared a full rack of ribs with our daughter and the meat was top quality. A little saucier than I would normally like, but tasty. They tossed more fries than they ate, but not because of taste. Even the fries were fantastic; nice and thick, looking like homemade.

The Creole Chicken was tender, nicely seasoned and spicy as advertised in all the right ways. The baked potato came still wrapped in the foil and you can have as much topping as you like with your server at the table side offering them traditional garnishes.

Nick's tries to support local, using beers from the area while offering popular national brands too. Their desserts are in house or come from the area pie shop, which is a nice touch.

The bill came in lower than my expectations and that's probably the portion size muddling it. Bang for your buck, this place is better than the Canadian national chain sit down pizza joint that families flock to, and that I grew up eating in.

This is a special place that I look forward to going back to. It's a hidden gem. Can't wait for our next trip to Calgary.

Okay... I've been here many times but never have I been so disappointed. First, our server was extremely slow in the beginning. Took over 15 min to get our tea and beer and put in our order. I ordered the veal and hubby ordered the steak. We shared the meatball appetizer. Nothing to write home about regarding the meatballs except they were not anything to write home about, lol. Ok. Then, the veal. It looked like a deep-fried breaded pre-frozen veal patty, and that was the texture and taste. Covered in gelatinous hollandaise sauce (for some reason?? - never seen that before!), with mashed potatoes covered in lumpy gravy, accompanied by 1/4 of a beet which was more than al dente and soggy, wilty red peppers. I know it's not that expensive (about $30), but soooo disappointing. I could have gone to McDonald's if I wanted a frozen, breaded main dish. And then to charge over 1/3 of that for a glass of wine?? Don't think so! Will NOT be going back. It has really deteriorated. A slight bump over Denny's who has better food, by the way. Pick up your socks, youngsters, and do better!

Open since 1979 and haven't upgraded anything since then. The burger was like a hockey puck and the fries were soggy.
The server was real nice but that doesn't make up for the food.

Hometown fave Nick's Steakhouse (est 1979) is the perfect family-style restaurant for any occasion. Always great service (thanks Tandy!) and high quality meats. Try their lamb chops, absolutely huge serving size and the best in flavour. I definitely want to try their steak and lobster combo but not for the $90 price tag when there's better in competition for that at other steakhouses. The Nutella gelato is locally sourced and absolute fire.

Awesome！Steak is so juicy!
Highly recommend taco salad!
Steak is medium rare so tasty!

My oldest son treated my husband & I to dinner at Nicks Steak House on the weekend . We haven't been here for several years. It was a Sunday and lots of people were enjoying dinner out . I ordered the lamb dinner , husband had a steak sandwich and our son had the steak and lobster . We had appetizer of calamari which was tender & excellent. And an order of garlic shrimp in a delicious sauce . They brought extra bread to soak up the tasty sauce . Our meals were generous and we were so stuffed , there was no room for dessert .
Our waiter was very friendly and always attentive to our needs . We enjoyed our dinner out and hope to return again !

This was our first time eating at Nick's and even though there are so many great food choices in Calgary - we will definitely be back the next time we are in town. The menu was extensive - and there was something for everyone. Each of us was thrilled with our meals - they were delicious, steaks were cooked perfectly, and the prices were more than reasonable. The portions were very generous and we wrapped up quite a bit to take home. The servers were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. We would highly recommend!

Went to nicks for a nice dinner, got 6oz top sirloin and a lobster tail. Steak was very good but the lobster tail was so over cooked it tasted like a pencil eraser. So rubbery couldn't even eat half of it and we tried since it was $40 a piece. 3 of us all ordered the lobster and all 3 was in edible. Very disappointed as we spent $300... if you go there DO NOT ORDER LOBSTER, might as well go to the keg for a fancy lobster and steak. Good think it's called nicks steakhouse not steak and lobster house.

First time using their new delivery service and it was excellent!
The steak was hot, the salad crisp and cold, the garlic toast was perfect and all trimmings were packaged well. My ribye was delicious.
It was delivered quickly too.
I already live Nick's Steakhouse and there extended service reflects there high quality.

I love this place. I am never disappointed when I visit Nick's, the food is always hot and made to perfection from scratch. Staff is always friendly and provide amazing service and are always friendly.

We had a classic burger on this visit which was amazing and a homemade patty. Caesar salad didn't disappoint either.

The atmosphere is so classic for an old school restaurant of this style. I grew up going to restaurants like this and always loved them as it's not a chain and if you food or service is lacking you just wouldn't survive.
