Crispy chicken cutlet, fried golden and finished with a spicy Portuguese BBQ sauce, served with a butternut, apple, walnut, and feta salad.
You’ve got three more days to get it before we close for the season. Last day of service is 3/29 before reopening for summer.

Golden hour never tasted this good.
Cajun Shrimp Alfredo at the Nickel
Buttery, spice-kissed cream sauce wrapped around cavatappi, loaded with grilled jumbo shrimp and that deep, slow-building Cajun heat. Rich, silky, and just indulgent enough to make you forget everything else on the table.
Come hungry. Leave obsessed.

16oz of tradition.
Our Prime Rib has been a Wooden Nickel staple since day one. Slow-roasted, hand-carved, and finished just right.

A proper bar starts with proper pours.

Classic cocktails, an extensive wine list, cold beer, and Boilermakers, a beer and a shot, starting at just $8 with PBR & Jameson.

Every cocktail on the menu is $15 or less, because a great drink shouldn’t come with second thoughts.

Start wherever you want.
