Sometimes the meat is more rare than what you see on this sandwich.  Rare or not, the meat is lightly seasoned and very satisfying.

A tradition has developed where customers get their pictures taken in locales exotic, or not, all over the world.  These photos are displayed all over Nick's.

There's a lot on the menu besides roast beef - but most people order the beef.
