Old Original Nick's Roast Beef

When I think of “Philly Food”, Nick’s Roast Beef is one of the first things that springs to mind. It’s a delicious signature sandwich that’s served soaked in gravy, which seems to disappear as soon as it hits the table. Good thing the service is fast. They also have a Broccoli Rabe Sandwich, which is very good.

Best roast beef, turkey, pork and ham sandwiches. Great bar/restaurant that has stood the test of time. It’s my home away from home!

I felt compelled to write this review because of the terrible service my husband received at this restaurant. I needed a chiropractic adjustment across the street so my husband decided to meet me on his break at work so that after my adjustment we could get lunch. We always wanted to try Nicks Roast Beef so we parked there in the lot and went across the street to get my adjustment and then to come back to Nicks to get lunch afterwards. As we were walking across the street to my adjustment a woman with a blonde pony tail ran outside and yelled at us that the parking was only for people eating at Nicks. We said we understand and will be right back after the adjustment as we were gonna get lunch afterwards. She basically gave us attitude, gave some sort of hand gesture and went inside. We wen

We tried to get Arby's early in the day and it was dripping in hot sauce. I was not asked & did not order hot sauce. I can not tolerate it. It takes my breath away. My Son took me to PA to the Original Nick's Roast Beef. It was so delicious. I could only eat 1/2 until later when I got hone and finished every bite. His wife took me a few years ago to a different Nicks. I still remember the great taste & quality. We had 1 server for the whole dining room. I felt like helping her & maybe teaching her a system. She forgot orders & when brought orders she forgot who got which dinner & drink. Maybe with practice she will improve.

Service is lacking depending on the bar tender you get. Great food though. My experience today was that I waited quite awhile before I ordered. When I did order, I had to ask for my drinks, I guess she forgot. Ordered a regular coke, got a diet. Never got my onion rings. She said I didn’t order them. Even if I didn’t you don’t say that to the customer, maybe something like “I’m sorry I just have missed thst” would be better. It was a small simple order. So I just left my food and drinks and $40 to cover the bill. Best to visit the Bar when Jeff is around. I think I’m an overly nice person, so I just don’t get it.
