Nick's Spaghetti & Steak House

We eat here often.  I personally think that the broiled and fried seafood combo platters are the best you can get within a 45 minute drive.  The owner is very friendly and is interested in ensuring your food and service is good.  I've tried other dishes that were ok, so I've learned to order the seafood combo platters because they've never disappointed.  They give you large salads and do not charge you extra if you want extra dressing (like some restaurants do).  The venue and decorum is a lot more open and spacious than Tony & Georges Seafood Restaurant in West Point and I've never understood why people go to T&G when the food is no better and you are jammed up on everyone else inside the seating areas.  For us, there is no choice; we will always choose Nick's over T&G.

Went to lunch with friends. Two of us had rib eye sandwiches and two had soft shelled crab. Both were cooked perfectly and were really great. The service was really good and the server was very personable. This is an old establishment. For the most of it, it was clean. Prices were very reasonable. We would definitely go back.

Overall:  2.5 stars.  We stopped at Nick's on the way back home from Yorktown beach--casual attire (clothing over bathing suit) was fine for this place.  Our waitress was nice and the food, pretty average, tasted pretty good because we were hungry!  We both shared an order of calamari (so so) and the seafood dinner which included popcorn shrimp, a crabcake and flounder.  A salad, bread, coleslaw and hush puppies were included too.  We both brought the fish home since we were stufffed.  I would say the most off-putting thing about the restaurant is the carpeting.  It needs replacing....badly....now.  Very  badly stained.  The rest of the place was very clean looking.  The menus, too, needed to be reprinted.  Mine was stained with a lot of different things and it looked like gum had been stuck to it at one time.
