I've been coming here since I was a kid and so much has changed. The flavored piña coladas are delicious. Go with mango. Everything tastes good but individual preferences matter. The lobster bisque is top notch but don't expect much actual lobster. Lobster cream pasta is worth the wait too. Maybe skip the lobster roll unless you're a fiend for it. The interior is spacious and has nice views. Service was slow but that may be due to the party in the back room

Amazing place to catch some seafood and lunch specials. Had my birthday here and the snowcrab MP ($46) entree hit the spot. While the snowcrabs themselves were slightly on the salty side, it tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. Attentive service and nice view.

I came here for lunch with a group of 4 people on a Saturday afternoon. There's a lot of seating and the tables by the window are definitely the prime spot for the waterfront view of Mill Basin. Three of us ordered the $32 prix fixe lunch deal for soup or salad, appetizer (wings or calamari), and entree (fish and chips, shrimp scampi, salmon sandwich, fried shrimp with fries, burger, or lobster roll with fries) which is an insanely good deal. The other person ordered the snow crab legs which came with a baked potato and corn. I had the prix fixe lunch with French onion soup, calamari, and the Connecticut lobster roll with Old Bay seasoned fries. The portions were large and it was a lot of food. Overall, the food was fresh and delicious. I really liked the French onion soup and the lobster roll. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely come back! It's an excellent seafood restaurant with a great view.

Another great year at Nick's for Valentine's Day. Service & menu was incredible. Thank you for keeping the chicken parm on the limited menu for my partner who hates seafood. I myself got a 2lb lobster. It was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. This is my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn. For a busy night where it's hard to give 5 star service, they knocked it out of the park.

THE OG BROOKLYN SEAFOOD RESTAURANT Nick's Lobster House is a family-owned company that is comprised of a restaurant including an outdoor deck, seafood market and waterfront event venue on the Mill Basin waterfront. They are etched into Brooklyn's rich food history since 1955. It actually is still owned by the family of "Big Nick", the local fisherman that decided to sell lobsters on Flatbush Ave over 60 years ago. Most recently, I came here for a family function and had a good ole time. The service was on point for our large group and so were the drinks. I started off with a glass of the famous "Hurricane Nick" then the table ended up with a quart based on my glowing review. Shoutout to the chef who made the most wonderfully creamy Alfredo that I have ordered at a restaurant in a long time. I also noticed that they offer a $32 Prix Fixe Lunch Menu now so I will definitely be back soon to try it out! I recommend that you stop on in when in the Kings Plaza/Mill Basin area. You won't be disappointed.

Nick's Lobster is a fantastic spot for fresh, delicious seafood with an unbeatable waterfront view! The lobster was cooked perfectly, and the crab cakes were some of the best I've had. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. The only downside was the slow service. It took quite a while to get our food, even though the restaurant wasn't too busy. Overall, a great place for seafood lovers -- just be prepared to take your time. I'll definitely be back!

This is my second time coming here with the family. We always have a great time here. Great vibes and beautiful views. Our waiter Ricardo was super excellent. He was very attentive and super informative with the specials they had that day. There is a variety of food option to choose from. For those who are not seafood lovers they have steak and chicken options. Food is delicious here. Nick's Lobster House is a perfect place to celebrate birthdays, anniversary and date night. Outdoor seating is closed for the season, but the indoor has great views of the marina. You are able to watch the sunset. Drinks and food are both delicious. For starters we started out with the sweet chili Thai wings and fried calamari. The wings are really good. Just the right amount of spice and sweetness. The fried calamari is nice and crispy. Our main course we ordered Prime Ribeye Steak, NY Strip Steak, Lobster cream pasta with shrimp, chicken parmesan shrimp alfredo, Manhattan clam chowder and seafood broil special. For dessert we ordered the Tuxedo Bombe and Divine Chocolate Lava Cake. FYI if you share your experience on google, you get to enjoy a free dessert.

Food- 3.5/5 Service- 4/5 Ambiance- 5/5 This was my first time and certainly not my last, eating at Nicks Lobster House. I had the lunch special which starts at $30 for 3 courses! The first option is a soup or salad, then an appetizer followed by an entree. Nice selection and tasty dishes to choose from. Ordered a Shirley temple which tasted delightful! Started with the chicken soup which had a nice thin angel hair noodle inside of it. Next time I'd get the salad. Then I had the wings which were cooked to PERFECTION! Nice size good flavor great preparedness! The calamari was ok. Lastly I had the chicken parm. Good flavor and tasty. 2 thumbs up and will def. return to try more things
