Nick's Place has operated in Lawrence since 1986, anchoring its menu around roast beef sandwiches—ordered three ways with American cheese, mayonnaise, and BBQ sauce—alongside party tray pizzas and seafood lobster rolls. The restaurant distinguishes itself partly through its Famous House Dressing, a gluten-free, dairy-free condiment that works as a salad dressing, dipping sauce for calzones, or pizza topping, and also appears on the Famous Nick's Chicken Kabob Salad. The place operates as a full-service restaurant rather than a typical carryout pizzeria; staff bring orders to tables, and the kitchen turns out substantial portions of fried sides like onion rings and fries alongside entrees like baked haddock and buffalo chicken fingers. It's open daily from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and handles catering for events in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
