Nick & Tom's Is A Classic Westside Cincinnati Restaurant

In order to become a true classic, a restaurant has to hold high standards for quality and go above and beyond expectations for quite some time. There are quite a few restaurants in Cincinnati that match this description and one of them is a local legend on the westside named Nick & Tom’s Restaurant and Bar. This family-owned, casual eatery has been serving the community since 1988, and the location has been around even longer than that. This classic Cincinnati restaurant is inviting and delicious and deserves a spot on your dining bucket list.

Nick & Tom's has been a westside tradition since 1988, but you may not realize that its roots actually go deeper than that. It was first known as Alpine Inn and functioned as a hotel, then as a reception hall, and eventually became the neighborhood restaurant that it is today.

The atmosphere and decor have changed over the years, but Nick & Tom's has always had a comfortable and classic Cincinnati vibe. The beautiful wooden bar is an ideal place to relax with a drink and meal, chat with friends, and feel right at home.

The remainder of the restaurant is just as welcoming. You'll feel very comfortable dining here on your own, as a couple on a night out, or with your entire family.

The menu at Nick & Tom's has always been a combination of classic entrees, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, and chops. In more recent years, the quality has improved even more with a focus on making things in-house from scratch.

Lunch is a great time to try Nick & Tom's, and their sandwiches are all satisfying. They are also known for their soups and chilis, so don't forget to give those a try when you visit.

It's often difficult at a delicious restaurant to save room for dessert, but you'll want to at Nick & Tom's. Another interesting menu item to mention is the Brussels sprouts on the appetizers list. They are like candy and simply must be ordered.

Brunch is a fun and tasty meal at Nick & Tom's and is available Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Choose from a small but impressive menu of brunch favorites and start it all off with the Bloody Mary Bar.

Nick & Tom's is one of those restaurants that you've either enjoyed for years or always meant to try but never have. If you fall into the latter group (or if you've never even heard of Nick & Tom's) then add this classic westside restaurant to your Cincinnati dining bucket list immediately.
