I really do love Nic's but I actually don't visit it all that often - mainly before the subcrawl! If you're starting at St Enoch Square, pre-subcrawl scran at Nic's is highly recommended.
This Nic's is pretty wee and there's a small outside eating area. We were in for a couple of sandwiches and the lady working was super friendly and chatty which was nice! She even offered us some subcrawl tips but of course we're experts now. Haha.
I got a Vietnamese Chicken Twerker as I'd tried it at the Byres Rd branch and loved it, and I have to say this one was just as good. So delicious. If you like satay flavours, you'll love this sandwich. Two sandwiches came in at just under £10 which is good value for such well-made and well-stuffed sandwiches! Their menu is pretty imaginative and I like that they do unusual sandwiches that aren't just the basic options you can get anywhere.
The only thing that puts me off this location is the fact there isn't a bigger seating area/customer loo, but it's perfect for takeaway so I'll still give it a full 5 stars. -

I found this place on Yelp (just like I always do for the best-kept secrets just waiting to be found) and I'm really glad I did.
When you go in, it looks just like a normal deli... then you notice the amazing menu (taco bowls, proper dogs, "Triple Bypass" baguette etc.) and the cheeky bottle of Buckfast that's apparently used on Fridays to make some of their food a little more special.
Going back to the food, it did take me a couple of minutes to choose what to have because EVERYTHING looked awesome. Even the SALADS!!! I was guided by the lovely staff who work there and plumped for the Taco bowl. A large, crispy tortilla shaped into a bowl stuffed with salad, guacamole, sour cream, PULLED PORK (this was my topping), covered with jack cheese and some Glasgow Megadeath chilli sauce. Great stuff.
And for dessert you MUST get one of their special donuts... loads of flavours. Think Krispy Kreme but without the nasty aftertaste (you know what I mean!).
If you've never been here, cancel all of your other plans and go here ASAP! You won't regret it... -

This little take away lunch spot popped up late last year on St. Enoch square and immediately piqued my interest. As the name would suggest it's loaded with American style food, don't be down heartened though this is no run of the mill 'American diner' serving cheap hot dogs and yucky burgers from the cash and carry. The food from Nic's is tasty, well thought out and delicious.
There are of course the likes of baked potatoes and sandwiches with lovely looking toppings to be enjoyed. My eyes however were very much glued to the Hot Dog menu where you can try such delights as the amazing Cheesy Pig Dog ( bacon and cheese) or the BBQ Dog (sweet fried onions, BBQ Sauce and dill pickle) or the very tempting Glasga Dog ( black Pudding and fried egg). What makes these dogs in my opinion the best take away dogs in Glasgow is that they fry off their dogs for a few minutes which makes them extra tasty.
I've not tried the freshly made pancakes or waffles yet but they do come with some lovely looking toppings - the Banana Beast ( banana, maple, pecan nuts and ice cream) Peanut Butter Jelly Time (peanut butter and blackcurrant or strawberry jam) or the Sweet Porker Stack ( bacon and maple syrup) these are definitely next on my list to try from the menu.
On my last visit I finally gave in to the cool looking doughnuts. These lovely little clouds of light dough are made in-house ensuring they are as fresh as they come. The base is so soft and flavoursome, the topping is a luscious thick layer of fondant sprinkled with a variety of American style toppings - Oreo, peanut butter cups, smarties, marshmallows......the list is endless. What really excited me tho was while chatting with the girls they announced that they were expecting their doughnut menus to arrive any minute. Hang on! Let's just think about that for a second........a menu......dedicated to doughnuts.......it's the stuff of dreams!
Nic's is a great wee lunch spotwhere they use really good quality food and the girls who work there are all lovely and helpful when trying to make your selection....what's not to love about this place. -

OMG. While sitting eating my fish n chips, I noticed this place. I thought I'd check it out. I asked what donuts they had, they Lou ted to their display. Everyone of them looked great.
I went for the Snicker-Nut. They asked if I had a peanut allergy first. They should have the donut pictures on their window, as that is what will pull people in. Again. Wow. -

I had held of doing this review until I had visited more than once. Reason being is that first time round I had the heart stopper roll and was not overly fussed. It was pulled pork with a tattie scone and coleslaw. It was nice but not fantastic. I would pitch it as being an up market burger van food. But I think that's actually the key to liking this place. Don't think your are gonna get gourmet quality. They are doing lunch time food with a twist and it works. The range of inventive options is mind blowing and it is really really hard to choose. On my second visit I had a BBQ hot dog and it was great. Really tasty sauce, onions and a GIGANTIC gherkin to have with it.
Now on to the Donuts!!!! They do donuts which seem like Krispy Kreme quality. With inventive fillings and toppings. I bought a box of six and they were all brilliant. Favourites were the m and m topped one and the peanut cream filled ring.....
Final standout thing is the staff. Who are extremely friendly and proudly display their recent yelp award. Why 4 stars and not 5? Two reasons. The food is great, but not 5 star quality. Also the lack of seating apart from the outdoor seats in the less than inviting St Enoch square. Some of their rolls can be tricky to eat and I just wish they had some room for seats inside to shelter from the cold.
Still a top notch place and I would totally recommend you give it a try.
