Nick & Jake's Parkville

6 stars! They wooed me in with the wonderfully detailed gluten-free menu and warmed my soul with Grandma’s Chicken. I’m not a huge fan of chicken breast, because too often it’s overcooked or under seasoned. But this chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a delicious Gouda cheese sauce. The jalapeño cheese grits were tasty and happily not spicy. I love green beans and mine were perfectly cooked. Hubby loved the well seasoned and perfectly cooked meatloaf with creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes, and buttered peas. My son enjoyed the French dip with creamy Mac n cheese - giving it a 9.5/10. My spaghetti aficionado was happy with the adult size linguine with meat sauce (not on the menu, but they were more than happy to provide). Liberty our server was very helpful and accommodating

Food was great and was out to our table in less than 10 minutes. That's fast for a restaurant that has waiting customers. Service was excellent our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and business. Thanks Meg!

I’ve had several meals here in the past and they were always very good. We came in today for a New Year’s meal with my husband, who had never been to Nick & Jake’s before. Our waitress was wonderful, very attentive and patient while answering all of my husband’s questions. We started with drinks and the pot stickers, which were excellent and absolutely worth ordering. For our entrées, my husband ordered Grandma’s chicken, and I chose the fish special: crab crusted cod with saffron risotto and asparagus. The first plate looked beautiful, but unfortunately the food was ice cold. The fish and risotto tasted like they had just come out of the refrigerator, and the fish in the centre of the plate was slimy. I let our waitress know, and she apologised and took the plate back.

Nick & Jake’s has become one of our regular spots in Parkville, especially for lunch. The specials are consistently great, the food is well-prepared with quality ingredients, and the overall experience is reliably solid. The hosts are always friendly, and the servers clearly know what they’re doing — many of them have been here for years, which says a lot about how the staff is treated. That kind of consistency shows. We also order takeout for dinner often since it’s easier with multiple kids. The kids’ meals are some of the best-tasting and most affordable we’ve found, pickup is always well-staffed, and the food is packaged properly for takeout (which is surprisingly rare). The bar area is also well done — just upscale enough to keep things pleasant, without being overpriced or stuffy.

I travel for work and spend a lot of time at bars. For many, many years. It seems harder to find spots where people are still dedicated and really care about what they do in this industry. I started coming here on my regular rotation in KC in 2018, and this has been my spot since. The food is great, the atmosphere is fun, and there are people working here that remind me why I always sit at the bar. Because sometimes, you find a really good bartender. Andrea operates on a different level. Quick, attentive & knowledgeable. But her, the guy with the beard, the sweet little lady at lunch... these folks have the extra intangibles too. Do yourself a favor... go sit at the bar and ask for Andrea. Thank me later. Well done, Nick and Jakes.
