Nick’s on Broadway

A better than average lunch destination, Nick’s provides a unique menu with fresh ingredients. Their Rueben sandwich is excellent, but I would like to see a more complete plate for the price. Perhaps they should strive to serve a healthy side of french fries, salad or something else. I just felt you were getting a good sandwich for about $ 11+.
Enjoy Winnipeg.

Had the special: meatloaf sandwich. Flavorful, not dry, and the bacon was crispy. Staff was friendly. I came during the lunch rush and once I got through the line, it was over 15 minutes for the sandwich to come out.

This place is terrific! Small and stylish with a funky menu including veggie sandwiches and a pork one that’s got a Korean influence, it has a trendy vibe but also delivers on the standards. Case in point, I had a grilled Reuben and it was delicious – filling, not too greasy, and a perfect blend of the classic flavors for that sandwich.
Also, don’t miss the beet salad – that was the star of the show, actually: beets, greens, goat cheese and crème fraîche. Can’t explain it, but somehow the whole was so much greater than the sum of its parts.
Highly recommend this place, and it’s super convenient if you’re staying at the Fort Garry Hotel.

Value wise, I think Nick’s on Broadway gives you the best bang for your buck relative to the two other sandwich shops in the city (King + Bannatyne and Sherbrook Street Deli). For $ 8 you can get a hot pastrami sandwich served with hot mustard and city bread rye with a pickle and coleslaw. My fave is their red star reuben ($ 11) pastrami, russian dressing, sauerkraut, swiss cheese on city bread rye; this sandwich is done panini style so a little different from the classic reuben but very good.
They have lots of side/​full orders of salads and soups for $ 2.5/$ 4. The house salad — mixed greens, apple, feta and cheese — even a side order felt fairly generous for the price. This was a great light salad to balance off the heavier meat sandwich. The salt potatoes — baby potatoes, kosher salt, garlic butter and parmesan was served whole and probably would have tasted better if the baby potatoes were cut up more so the garlic butter and parmesan can coat more of the potato.
Nice breakfast/​lunch place on the corner of smith and broadway in a newly renovated location. The space is very angular and doesn’t offer a ton of seating; it’s not the most comfortable space but it’s really a place for a quick breakfast/​lunch. You order and pay first and then pick up your order so no table service. Everything is served in disposable boxes so it has a bit of a food court feel. It’s open Mon-​Sat 8:00AM-3:30PM.
