The Nickel Sandwich Grill opened in March 2001 as a deli-style sandwich and salad shop in Houston's Fifth Ward. The menu has since grown into what the owners call an eclectic mix: barbecue dinners, seafood po'boys, boudin, and the signature Nickel Burger sit alongside sides like dirty rice and greens.
The restaurant has built a loyal customer base that reaches well beyond its Lyons Avenue location, drawing government workers, educators, and business owners from the neighborhood as well as regulars from as far as the Woodlands and Katy. It has stayed tied to the Fifth Ward community, supporting schools, churches, and local organizations over more than two decades.
The Infatuation scored it an 8/10.
