Thank you. This is huge news so I copied to a new thread. Do you know when Nick's will be opening? Have you talked to anyone in the family?

Please tell me this isn't a joke?  

My car and it's tires won't know what to do, now that I can walk to Nicks again!  :clap:

I just hope a certain someone will bring his "white lightening" to the new (old 30A) Nicks......;-)

When I talked with Frank the other day, he was planning to open the 1st of November; but, there are a few changes to be made and they may not get completed by then. All I can say is: Life is good, again!

I am so happy. Fond memories of many many parties there.  Right Seagrove Girl?

You want to sample the old south flavor for seafood,I recommend Nicks in SoWal or The Captains Table in St.Andrews.You cannot go wrong with either.
The original Nicks is located a few miles west of Freeport on hwy.20.

For those of you that have missed the news, JC's Off the Hook closed for good this evening.  Nicks is going to take it over again.
