Had some not so great meals here over the years since my initial review, but today's meal reinforced my rating. I was usually in this hood after midnight and the de facto food option was always Gepetto's(Nick's being closed to night owls). They have since demolished Gepetto's and Nick's again rules the Clifton roost(conspiracy?).
Today me and the pooch ventured out for Arby's and I thought, you know what I bet Nick's makes a cheesesteak of some sort. They do, and it's pretty good. Came with au jus and fries for the price some shitty Arby's would have cost me. Just had to wait ten minutes. Also got a half sheet plain for my veggie wife. While the area is basically a potholed, torn down buildings warzone presently, by the time of the summer Clifton Arts Fest, I see a very attractive area coming to life. And Nick's will hold it down like they have for decades.
