Had a rough day yesterday so I decided to stop by Nick’s to have a drink, bet on some ponies and talk to my favorite bartender, Chelsea. Chelsea was off so I had the opportunity to meet Heather. She was one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met and made my day a lot better. She was the only one working and was very busy. She made time to have a great conversation with me in between running drinks/food, taking orders and giving all of the other customers the same personal touch she gave me. If you go to Nick’s make sure you ask for Heather. Guarantee she will make your day better.P.S - Chelsea is also great!

Crab cakes were delicious! I have no clue about horse betting. It was fun to watch the races. Great place.

They were offering cold sandwiches only on a Friday night and the supposedly had karoke but it was the hosts friends only. Worst experience ever. Will tell everyone I know to never come

I was disappointed in the food. Clam strips tasted like frozen ones from the grocery store and the calamari wasn't much better. The soft crab sandwich was decent but my daughter ordered salmon which was over cooked and dry. The lettuce in the salad and on my sandwich was wilted and soggy.

It is what you'd expect from a grill by the track. Good fish and shrimp. Quiet on weekdays.

We held an organization event here and had a wonderful experience. The staff was awesome and provided accommodations beyond our expectations. The food was awesome and the bathrooms were very clean. I look clear to my next visit.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options

We went into the bar today at 4 and sat at the bar for about 10 minutes. Saw that the cook saw us and was pissed that we were there. The place was empty. The bartender came and told us they were closed. Damn , the cook runs this place.

Located at the Maryland fairgrounds. We were here for a private event. The space was great and ideal for the occasion. Bartenders were responsive and professional. Food was pretty good...I liked the spinach dip.

Great Friday night at Nick's. Crab cake and pit beef were wonderful. Great service from Molly. Karaoke with Mark Bishop was delightful. Didn't make any wagers, but still came out a winner!

Went for Charm City trivia... the trivia was a great time, the food was ok, the service was ABYSMAL! We'd love to go back for horse betting and more trivia but what would have been an amazing time was just soured.

Only one waitress for the whole place and the quality of the food was sub par. Can't say that we'll return!

Nice little hidden place, karaoke on Friday nights is fun. Food is decent, and priced right. My fiance got an amazing soft shell crab sandwich, and the oysters tasted amazing. The only negative was the icy cocktail sauce, as they probably keep the little cups on ice. We ordered 6 blue point and 6 Chincoteague and got 7 of each!

Subpar food and even worse service. It took 10 minutes for the server to bring the menus. After order was placed it took 20 minutes to bring one cup of soup, then another 20 minutes to bring rest of the food. The salmon was bitter and dry, took another 15 minutes for the server to come and check on our table and take the salmon back. Rest of the food was mediocre at best. Had to walk to the bar to ask for a check. Place was not busy at all.
