The service was good considering there was ONLY ONE employee in the whole place!!! And she was doing everything as best as she could. The management/owner should be ashamed for allowing that to happen. We left her a huge tip, but she should have been pain triple by her boss.

We had hamburger baskets and it tasted like fresh grilled burgers. They have a popcorn machine, free for their patrons which we love too!

The bar didn't seem busy, but nobody waited on us for the first 5or 10 minutes that we were there. So I went up to the bar and ordered our drinks and sandwiches on my own. Two different waitresses showed up after I had ordered to help us, and I asked my wife where they had come from, as we didn't see them at first. Perhaps taking a break or smoking out back? Not sure. But the food and drinks were very good.

Love the elk burger Excellent and delicious
January 28, 2016
We sat at a booth...it was dirty and not cleaned by th waitress when we ordered...there was not any dishes on it, but, needed to be wiped down. She never asked my husband how to cook his burger ( I asked for Med Rare) so he got a Med Rare as well. He likes Med Well.

long wait for the food. I ordered the same thing for lunch the last time I was here and it was fantastic..today, not so much. it was the ahi salad.
November 24, 2014
We went for a fish fry, and they had perch, walleye fingers and generic, all reasonable price. Good taste, not greasy. Pub chips were really good, and cole slaw, though small portion, was very tasty! Much better than average pub fare! Music was a bit loud, but a nice fun bar.

good burgers with gluten free buns
March 22, 2014
Freshest sashimi. Dinner includes soup or salad...generous portions. Appetizers are perfectly seasoned with generous portions, the chicken livers are outstanding.Keiko and Dora are so warm, welcoming, and attentive. Love Nippon.
February 18, 2014
Food was just so-so. Salad was tasty but entrees: pork chops not very tender and the fish had a fishy taste and smell.
February 16, 2014
very good food! but the meat could have came to the table more often. There was times where we were just waiting for the food to arrive.
February 16, 2014
Wait staff was wonderful and food was delish
February 15, 2014
We love this restaurant. The only complaint my husband has is they need some bright lights outside because they always look like they are closed from the dark appearance. We still go though.
February 4, 2014
The staff is very friendly and nice. The old-fashioned are excellent as are the burgers and chippers!
January 19, 2014
The food was excellent. The server was great. Atmosphere was very inviting. A great experience.

Nice atmosphere. Contemporary decor. Family-friendly. Shrimp Bomb and Sweet Mesquite BBQ sandwich were excellent. Complimentary cheesy jalapeno cornbread was a nice surprise and a good appetizer. Will return.

Great time. Will be back!

Fantastic food, very friendly staff and great happy hour....a true Wisconsin bar.
March 20, 2012
I couldn't believe how small my burger was and how nothing came on it. By the time I had LTO added, it was 75% more than the list price on the menu. Unbelievable. Came without side.
March 8, 2012
Food was great - one bartender was awesome another could use some help.....we LOVE Your food!
February 25, 2012
It was very delicious. While they were wonderfully accomodating, I don't think I would bring the kids again - at least not the toddlers. Definitely a place we would go as a couple again.
February 25, 2012
We've been going to the Nickel for years. Fun atmosphere and the food is always good. Prices are competitive. The coupon gave us even a little more incentive...an added bonus, so to speak. We enjoy it there.
February 17, 2012
The menu consists of mostly unhealthy food choices...typical fried and greasy bar food. There were no salad choices on their menu. The restaurant was busy when we were there and there were only two staff, a waitress and a cook, so service was somewhat slow. However, considering how many people the waitress had to serve, she was doing an amazing job. Not sure we will go back because of the unhealthy menu options.
January 28, 2012
Food was OK at best.
January 20, 2012
The burgers are terrific and the chippers are awesome
January 20, 2012
needed more wait staff-very busy at time we were there and only 1 waitress
January 11, 2012
Being the first time in there it was akward because we were not accustomed to the order of things and the waitress acted as if we were regulars.
January 1, 2012
The food was not anything special. Just regular "bar food" with expensive add-on's like lettuce and tomato.
January 1, 2012
Would recommend the restaurant to anyone
January 1, 2012
Don't change a thing! More seating for dining would be a plus.
January 1, 2012
Love the food and drinks. Thank you for allowing us to utilize the coupon.
December 25, 2011
Slow service. Unfriendly staff.
December 15, 2011
we realize the lower quality of food may have been due to the busy night they were having.
December 14, 2011
This was a very small bar and grill. It's not ideal if you have a party of 4 or more people. The food was below average but I suppose it's not primarily a restaurant so it's what you'd expect for bar food. It was definately overpriced though. I will not return.
December 2, 2011
VERY FRIENDLY STAFF. FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND BAR ATMOSPHERE WAS VERY PLEASANT. THEY MADE US (THE CUSTOMER) FEEL IMPORTANT
November 21, 2011
Our waitress was very nice, however she had to handle the bar and food. Way too much work for one person, should have her just handling the food as all tables were full. Again, she was very nice and got to us when she could. She was working very, very hard to get everything done.
November 10, 2011
THE SERVICE WAS GREAT , FOOD COULD HAVE BEEN MORE DONE
October 30, 2011
Always a good time at the Nickel! We'll be back soon!
