Nicks Restaurant & Pub

Reviews & Tips

  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.  $2.75 for a draft pint was a great deal, and the food we ordered was great.  The salads were especially good, and $9 for a plank of salmon on a house salad sounds like a deal to us.  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.  Nothing to complain about there.  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.

  Not sure why the rating is so low. Ate here after asking a few locals. The food was so good. The burgers were definitely hand made. And I had the best potato salad I've ever had. I wish it was near my house so I could be a regular here. I will be back.

  Stopped in because of the lack of options (Banner Elk in early spring is DEAD).
  
  It was 8p and we were limited to generic options from the fryer which the waitress said were from Sisco (frozen food). As expected, it tasted like fried frozen food.
  
  We were literally the only two people in the bar and while the bartender was nice, over shared a bit too much personal info...
  
  I appreciate it being family owned but I expect more and can't honestly recommend it.

  The service was lacking in that I had to go to the bar to get a refill on my soft drink not once but twice. The food was burned and they left a door open to the outside thus nullifying the air-conditioner. In their defense they were slammed at the time I got there and it was the weekend of the Scottish Games and the music festival at the same time and I honestly font think they were prepared for the influx of people.

  Service was terrible.  Veggies had a rotten spot and when we asked for the manager, we instead received first a bartender and then a drunken employee who cussed and berated us.  We asked for the check and instead were left sitting while the drunken employee yelled at us from the kitchen.  Literally rotten food, horrible service, nasty people.

  Stopped by after time at Grandfather Mountain. Service was on the slow side and the restaurant could use some updating. The carpet was sticky and looked like it had seen a lot better days. The food was very good though. We had wings, French dip and tuna salad and everyone finished all of their food.

  It's kinda crappy looking - kinda like the bar the snowboarders hang out at in "Out Cold". But the service was ok, the beer was cold, and the wings and fried mushrooms were delicious.  It's a good place to stop after a long day of skiing at Sugar Mountain or Ski Beech.
