I had the BBQ Chicken & Baby Back Ribs combo platter which consists of 6 ribs and 2 leg & thigh quarters, plus FFs and tasty cole slaw. Well cooked meats with ample amounts of bbq sauce. Do they offer other bbq sauces? I need to check next time. Need to try their fillet mignon sandwiches too. Good service, relatively quick (15min), and clean establishment. Definitely recommend.

The food is passable, not the greatest. Will just enough fill a crave for ribs. They will only start cooking once you come in. I called ahead and they told me. Parking in the area is really rough. Nearly impossible if you have any car larger than a sedan. It is freezing outside and preferably I would like to just pick up the order and not deal with parking, but they are not that accommodating. Some sides are good and some are just very dry.

Nicks BBQ I ordered thru Grubhub on 11/07/2020. The rib and wing combo was quite delish and delivered hot for $16.95. Be prepared to wait 1 hour and 30 mins. Their tasty meats were cooked and sauced perfectly. I prefer my bbq cooked like Nick does it, old school, but my bf prefers the extreme smoke with a dry rub. The rib was my fav, it brought back nostalgic memories of great fam backyard bbq’s. The wings were good but whole wings are not my fav and they were tiny. I suggest buying the next size up. To my surprise, the fries were still crispy but there was soo few, only about 13 fries? I want more fries next time, Nick! Also, their well-known filet mignon sandwichy was good. Keep in mind, filet mignon costs about $6 more a pound that great cheesesteak meat, therefore don’t expect the meat

6/13/24…Nick’s was closed for awhile and I was happy to find out they are opened. Ordered a country salad with crispy chicken and a filet mignon sandwich with sweet peppers…so very good. Very nice customer service and fast delivery. 6/30...ordered a half rack of ribs, the country salad with crispy chicken and onion rings. Delivery was fast and food was delicious! One of my personal favorite sandwiches from Nick's Charcoal Pit is their Buffalo Chicken sandwich. The chicken is tender, it has the right amount of heat and blue cheese dressing. We also ordered a cheeseburger and onion rings and they were tasty! The burger was cooked just right, had a lot of flavor and the onion rings weren't greasy.
