We stopped in for a quick dinner and were not disappointed. The calamari was unique and delicious, everyone really liked the sauce that came with it. We also got 2 pizzas a cheese and a pepperoni and 1 of us got a lobster roll. The food was great as was the atmosphere and our server was great, I think her name was Jo.

A friend and I stopped by Nick's Beachside Grille for a drink and some appetizers. The interior is on the smaller side, but it is nicely decorated and appears to have availability for outdoor seating. Don't let that deter you though. The staff here is very attentive and super friendly. They checked in often and ensured that we were enjoying the food and drinks and had all that we needed. In addition to this, the food we ordered was cooked to perfection. I supplied some photos of the Garlic Rolls, French Fries, and the Mozzarella Sticks. We eyed the room for what others ordered as well and their meals looked just as good! The meals are well presented and was a pleasant surprise when going to a Beachside grille. If you are in the area and are looking for someplace new to try, I would definitely recommend Nick's Beachside Grille! You won't be disappointed!

I cannot rave about this place enough. For six people, every single meal was perfect. Food was hot, everything delicious. Beyond delicious. It was delightful. The Seafood Alfredo was ...perfect. I need synonyms for the word perfect so that I don't overuse the word "perfect" in this review. Scallops, shrimp, lobster, Alfredo sauce, everything was flawless. The others in my party had a variety of food and everything was perfect. The steak was cooked correctly and was delicious. A well done burger was again cooked correctly but still fantastic, which isn't easy to do. Garlic bread was "melt in your mouth". Fries cooked perfectly. Fish, perfect. The service was A++++. Even at a place with good service there is often one single small thing that might not quite be perfect, but our server was fantastic. This was the best dining experience I've had in many years. Whoever does the cooking deserves a cooking show or should start a YouTube channel.
