Nick’s Roast Beef

I haven’t been there for awhile, they use to have great roast beef sandwiches, Me and my wife went there on Sunday. I was greatly disappointed, the roast beef sandwiches were really bad the meat was scarce, thick and grisly. At first I thought it was on a hamburger roll, but looking closely I could tell it was a flattened kaiser roll, pretty bad for a sandwich they charge $ 8.50 for. I don’t think I will be going back to this establishment any time soon. It’s a shame that a place could go down hill like that. The beer was good, but they don’t make that there.

Not impressed when you ask if the wings are spicy and you get told no and they are spicy and no where to what you expected.

Staple in Northeast Philadelphia. Known for there delicious roast pork and beef sandwiches along with your typical bar food items. It’s nice to have a array of
Toppings to put on your sandwich. Juicy beef and roast pork and served with a side of au jus.

This place is great. The food was yummy. The roast beef was very tasty. Lots of beers on tap and plenty of TVs. They even have craft beer on tap. I go there as a often as I can. They have parking in the back.

Waited an hour and fifteen minutes for two roast beef sandwiches and 2 kids hot dogs. Roast beef is their specialty, right? It’s in the name of the restaurant. Dinner hour on a Saturday they should have plenty of it ready to go, right?
Came here a few weeks ago for dinner with my two kids and 7 other adults, called ahead to give them a heads up to see if it would be a long wait for a table. They said no, no problem it’s not that busy, just show up. Get there and it wasn’t really all that busy, but they don’t have enough of the same height tables so we get separated between the high top tables you sit at with a barstool and the regular size tables, where my brother and I got stuck with the kids. OK, whatever, not that big a deal. So, the waitress finally comes after a decent wait, starts taking orders, gets to the end of the high top and starts to walk away. My uncle grabs her attention says hey, that small table is with us too. She rolls her eyes and said oh, no one told me this was a huge party, I’ll have to send another waitress for them and just walks away. At that point I’m like WTF, but the new waitress came fairly quickly, so I’m still keeping my cool. I ask her can we just do a new check for us four, she says yeah we were gonna do that anyway. So now we’re not a huge party anymore. A 6 and a 4, the food should come out a little faster, right? Nope. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes for 2 roast beef sandwiches with fries and 2 kids hot dogs. Ordered at about 6:15 didnt get our food until nearly 7:40 When the food finally did come out one sandwich didn’t have any cheese the other didn’t have fries and the dry beef and soggy fries we did get were only luke warm. I told the waitress don’t worry about the cheese at this point, just make sure it’s not on the bill, but we do want the fries. Well, the fries did come out piping hot 20 minutes later, just as we were done eating and ready for the bill.

Very small salad portions for the price of $ 11.99, the bacon on the salad is all fat! The manager wouldn’t even let me use a 20% off coupon from their website because it is for dine in only. However there is nothing stated about that on the coupon.
The manager was rude.
Working in customer service, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
This is not a local business that I would ever go back to.

So my sister and I were too lazy to leave the house for food but didn’t really want regular pizza place food. Luckily for us Nick’s Roast Beef showed up on Grubhub so we were able to get delivery.
In my estimation the price was a little steep. Coming in at $ 38 for chicken fingers, two orders of gravy friend, and a brisket sandwich. But it was really good and definitely a nice change up.
Since I paid I tried one of my sister’s chicken fingers, and they were legit the best chicken fingers ever. Not like fried run of the mill mass produced pieces of crap. They were more like chicken cutlets. My brisket sandwich was very good, and I especially loved the barbecue sauce that accompanied it. While the sandwich was good it was a bit dry, but thankfully I had ordered extra gravy, forward thinking person that I am, so it all worked out. And last but not least, those gravy fries! They were delicious and artery clogging I’m sure. The order was huge and we definitely could have gotten away with only ordering one between the two of us.
The food was quite good and delivery was fast and friendly. Highly recommended! Just don’t forget your side of gravy y’all’s.

We stumbled upon this establishment after a round of golf today. Had the roast beef sandwich with sharp cheddar cheese and mushrooms and a side of onion rings. The quality spoke for itself. It was awesome. Good bread, tender meat, very tasty. The onion rings were perfect. I wish my wedge game could compare. Kudos to the staff. Very attentive and professional. Linda was great! While I had some pars today, Nick’s food and service was better than par, more like a birdie!

Pretty good place to go for a quick bite to eat. The sandwiches here are good and filling. Atmosphere is very corner barish.

Walked in with just me and my girlfriend and was excited to try the food after hearing ads on 97.5 the phanatic. When we got there, no one sat us down or there was no indication that you are suppose to seat yourself. The place was not busy at all at the time, I would expect the bartender to confirm «you will be seated soon», but heard nothing. None of the staff was friendly and I felt like they we lounging around in the back of the kitchen.
After waiting about 10 minutes, we sat ourselves down and proceeded to expect a waiter/​waitress to greet us and give us their menu… We got absolutely ignored. We walked out the restaurant disgusted with how we were treated. this is not a friendly or happy bar environment at all. I would recommend skipping this place for dinner as the customer service was pitiful…

Went here with a buddy of mine and it was decent. The bartender was nice and attentive, so I enjoy the customer service. They have a decent tap list of good craft stuff and also a good bottle selection. The food was okay, but affordable. The turkey club was fine, but nothing to write home about. If I am around, I will probably come back for a drink and a bite.

Dont eat the crab cakes unless you love thanksgiving stuffing because thats all they are. Spinach artichoke dip is a small bowl of cream cheese mixed with spinach gross… wings were typical bar wings. And of course to top all of that we got the wrong Sandwiches.
On the bright side the waitress was a super sweet girl. She could do better then this place blahhhhhh!

Nice place. I sat at the Bar, the Bartender (Linda) was great and told me what was good, she suggested the chicken wrap, I’m not a wrap type of guy but I have to say it was good, I have been there for roast beef and pork sandwiches, Which are good the French fries are great to, hope I helped you out with this suggestions, then again it was all free, enjoy

Great experience! The Cheesestake from the top places (not Pats or Genos) is still a must for visitors, HOWEVER this is an incredible option and sits right there a top the list of alternatives, like a solid roast pork!
Go with the roast beef of course, although the menu is much more vast, with aged provolone, although it could have been a bit hotter! But easy on the horseradish it has a really nice kick so make sure you are ready. Big time brain burn, nice! The onion rings were great and I also went with the buffalo chips, hint think England, there are not crispy, which was a surprise.
Nice craft beer selection but nothing to crazy!
Go if your in the North East!
Oh yeah, Food came out FAST!!!

not that any of you have a google alert for when I post a review, but if you have read through my reviews, you will know that broccoli rabe is like my kryponite. I HATE that shit. Its one of the banes of my existence that it seems to be the go-​to accompaniment to a roast pork sandwich. And so, that is how I found myself eating a roast pork sandwich, with GD broccoli rabe from Nicks one day. Aside from that green atrocity, the sandwich was very good; it came with some au jus and some horseradish, and the fries on the side were perfectly cooked. It DID take a while to get, and it WAS a bit on the expensive side (like $ 12), so it will only be an occasional lunchtime splurge. The inside was nice, if a bit dark, but it seemed like a cool place to take in a game or hang out for a few. Staff was very nice, if a bit aloof.

My husband and I went here to celebrate my pregnancy. I had my baby shower in the downstairs room here and when my daughter was born we came back to celebrate.
While the service leaves more to be desired. The food is really good.
Let’s talk about the service first. It’s slow and sometimes the employees act like they don’t want to be there. I always order 2 drinks up front because I know it’ll be hard to get another one.
The food however is delicious. The French onion soup is the best I’ve had. The buffalo fries and buffalo shrimp are yummy and the hot pork sandwich is delicious.
I’ve also had their BLT sandwich which is really good.

The brisket sandwich I ordered was not what I expected. When I asked the waitress, she said she didn’t know what it was supposed to look like.
My girlfriend had the roast beef. She liked it. The fries came out cold. They brought new ones.
I took one bite, that was enough for me. Matt, the manager did come over at the end and took off my brisket sandwich. He was very nice but I was disappointed.

Ended up here for our regular monthly meet up only because the country club on cottman was super busy .
Waitress was chatty and forgot an item but average food and less wait time than country club.
Standard menu, plus its dark inside but could see us going back again, but not as a first choice.
Super clean ladies room.

I’ve been coming here for years. With that said, it’s not my goto place, but it’s decent and affordable. It’s a normal sports bar. Beer selection is pretty standard, mostly domestics, which is what it is. I dont come here for a night out, just for dinner so I stick with Lager.
Food is good. Buffalo chips are the best thing on the menu. Roast beef (obviously what they’re «known» for) is bland if you don’t use the horseradish or au ju. They’re mussels are yummy. Everything else is pretty standard fried frozen bar food. Not the best but not terrible. Just know what to order.

It’s a really good sandwich. Roast beef and provolone rocks. It is priced right, people I know complain about the cost of the sandwich, but beef is expensive everywhere. I guess the problem is that it is so good that most normal guys might consider a second one, but it is cost prohibitive. More money should be spent on beer at a bar, than on sandwiches. I just made up that «man rule».

So they are top notch on the roast beef. My only question is why do they use such cheap fries? I mean I guess I just prefer more upscale fries, ones that are coated or have skin on them. They make such a good sandwich, where it is obvious that they use quality ingredients, and then there are those fries, I don’t get it. Any way, they still get a 5 star rating for the roast beef, but there are some other things about the bar that need to be addressed, mainly the number of unruly patrons I have encountered on my last two visits, so I need to say, it’s a 4.5 overall. Yes I was there during a sporting event, but I just don’t like to be hasseled, especially because I really didn’t care about the game.
I do like the fact though that in the back section there is a Father Judge Jersey and St Hubert’s Jersey framed on the wall. It makes me remember a time where I’d be at the library with freinds, while in high school, and go for a bite to eat before we went home. Good times.
