Nick's Steak house one of my favorite places to eat in Calgary- A fantastic family owned restaurant with some of the BEST pizza around and awesome steaks; This place has been around for over 30 years, a testament to the great service and food offered here. The food is undoubtedly comfort food but the menu is diverse enough to please most tastes. I cant get enough of their pizzas, pastas and steaks as well as the Sunday & Monday prime-rib special. The service is great with a welcomed absence of any self-entitled servers that think they are above their jobs (common here in Calgary)- Nick himself can be found bumbling around making sure everyone is happy.
The ambiance is a beautiful part of this restaurant. It appears some reviewers seem to think if the place isn't replete with modern finishings, granite bars, top 40 music playlists or servers in tight dresses then its ugly and run-down but really, one should really appreciate the charm of this place with all the awesome old school fixings and decor giving you that comfortable and at-home vibe . The place is clean and well maintained while keeping the vintage nature of it alive and well. This is an awesome place to go before Stampeders games, or afterwards as their have a great bar/lounge. Nicks also has a nice outdoor patio both in the front and back.
Although Nicks seems to attract an older demographic, its really for everyone and a superior alternative to the trendy/glitzy places found elsewhere that cant compare in food and service. They serve dinner untill 11pm so its a great late night spot as well.
