I'm guessing either there's new management or they've taken these reviews to heart.
We stopped in after a day caving, tired and hungry. Â $2.75 for a draft pint was a great deal, and the food we ordered was great. Â The salads were especially good, and $9 for a plank of salmon on a house salad sounds like a deal to us. Â Our waitress was attentive, yet the food was slow to come out, which was the only negative for the night.
We had a variety of food: salads, quesadilla, fried fish, and french dip. Â Nothing to complain about there. Â It's mostly simple food (though some of the salads are more experimental), and we had a great time.
Bumping from 3 to 4 stars in relation to our experiences at other restaurants in the area at this time, where every place seemed to be out of their signature items.
I checked the reviews before choosing this place while in Linville at the Highland Games. I love other ppls opinions but sometimes you got to find out for yourself. I thought Nicks was a great place. Beer specials and good food with super fast service. I will definitely go here again while I'm in the area. Don't let the negatives scare you off, I'm glad I didn't.
