Double Nickel Steakhouse

We took our son here for his 15th birthday. If requested they will acknowledge your birthday. Our waiter forgot so we don’t know they do. Make sure to remind them. I ordered the Double Nickel salad. It was tart, but if you like sweet tasting salad it was good. We order crab stuffed mushrooms and they were phenomenal. Lots of yummy sauce to enjoy. We ordered the Bananas Foster. They lit it at the table. It was fun to watch and delicious. The establishment definitely makes you feel like you need to dress up and act “proper”. However, I did see people in shorts and casual wear. The hey only enforce the “no hat” policy. Wear your Sunday best! The prices were through the roof so it’s definitely a special occasion experience for the working class.

This place is old school fancy. No hats on in the building. Drunks are fantastic,food is out of this world, and the services matches. The desserts are all HUGE and very good, and they will even light the bananas foster on fire at your table if you want them too. If you ask for a to go wrap instead of a box, they wrap your leftovers in foil and make a swam out if it. I've never been anything but 100% pleased with my experience at the Double Nickel.

We made reservations for my son’s birthday for 5:30 on 9/23. We were warmly welcomed and immediately seated. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We ordered the bacon shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms. Both appetizers were delicious. For my entree, I got the ribeye “double nickel” style topped with lump crab and shrimp with spinach rockefeller and sautéed mushrooms. My steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were delectable. But the best part of our evening was the bananas foster! Not only was it the flambé fun to watch, but the dessert was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. It was a night to remember, and a great way to celebrate a birthday. We had a good time!

The appetizers were excellent. The wedge salad came with toasted bread and tomato slices... The toasted bread was crunchy and firm, yet easy to break. And the Bleu cheese dressing was one of the best I've tried. Not to mention the absolutely crispy bacon on top of it. The steaks were thick cuts of beef expertly prepared. And the service was just impeccable. The real challenge here is finding something to complain about.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience overall. We were greeted as soon as we entered, and we notice the place had a low light atmonphere with some Jazz in the background. A perfect start for a birthday dinner celebration. Once we sat on the table we waited a litttle too much for the waiter to come and ask for drinks. He gently filled the cups with water and asked for our drinks. We ordered two drinks; however, one came first and the other one came 5 minutes later. First mistake, please make sure you bring the drinks at the same time, that way none of us has to wait, and we can toast together. We ordered the beef points as appetizers, they were delicious! The sauce was amazing. Then, We decided to share the New York Strip for two au poivre (pepper sauce) - If you like pepper you must try it! I ordered a baked potatoe and asparagus for n my sides, and my girlfriend ordered Loaded baked potatoe and cream corn. The presentatioj of the plates was amazing. The waiter served a plate with the sides first, and then he brought a wooden board with the steak. He cut the steak in pieces and then served to the pieces to the plates. The steak was cook te perfection - medium. However, We both feel the sides were not hot - especially the potatoes. They were hard and not soft and fluffy. They were undercooked, it seems the plates were outside for too long just waiting for the steak to finish cooking. That didnt bother us though, the flovor of the steak could outshine any judgement of the sides. We ordered a couple more drinks, but only one came. Then we ordered the mandarin orange cake for dessert. Before arrival, the waiter kindly removed the crumbs and place new spoons for us. After a.couple minutes, the waiter brought the cake, and it was delicious! Very moist and flavorful - just perfect to switch to a sweet flavor. Now comes the check. Well, even though it was a good experience we feel it was overpriced. When you pay $75 for a Stake it's not anymore about how good the steak taste. You are also paying for excellent service with the best sides the kitchen can cook. And we honestly feel there is room for improvement. I will give a chance to this place again. It has been the best service we have had in West Texas.

Many problems with Double Nichol Staff - too numerous to even go into detail~~~ Beginning with an unprofessional Reservation squad that totally gets the evening off to terrible beginnings….. Staff removing your cocktail glass unfinished & sending the message it’s time to leave. Food good - Staff needs Professional Polish to live up to a fine dining establishment…… Poor service can Break the Deal!
