We live about 1.5 hours from here and came on a recommendation from a friend. We got the rib and brisket platter which come with 2 sides per platter and a bread roll. The sides, their sauce and sweet tea were really good. Hush puppies and Mac and cheese were great, and the waffle fries were probably the best I've ever had. However, the ribs and brisket were not what we expected. I live in the South and frequent BBQ places often, and I've never had ribs with as little meat as were on these. I scooped off the meat from my 3-bone platter and could easily fit all the meat in just the palm of one hand. The picture of the ribs my friend showed me he had were meaty and looked phenomenal, mine looked like soup bones. The brisket was good and you had more meat than the ribs, but were a little tough. It seemed to be left under a heat lamp for a little too long. I know the restaurant business is tough and there are off days, so we may have just showed up on an off day. We may try Nick's again because you can definitely taste that the flavor is there, but there needs to be more consistency with the product delivered. The one thing that is consistent is that the drive to Murphy is beautiful. You won't be disappointed getting here!

Just passing by i smelled the food. I had to turn my truck around. Which was a good idea because I found parking. I had the turkey sandwich with a side of beans. I really enjoyed it and I will return for another meal in the future. Enjoy

My wife and I decided to stop in today for the first time. I will say that I think my food was really good. I got the pork platter. However, the portion of meat was very small. Felt like a portion for a toddler. And, it was $14, so not a good deal at all IMO. Not sure if the platter has more meat vs the sandwich, but I was so disappointed to see how little meat there was and such a tiny piece of bread with it. They did give a lot of waffle fries though.
My wife got the pork tacos and she told me that she didn't like it at all. I was going to do 3 stars after she told me how much she disliked it I went to 2.
Also, I'm guessing the guy a the register is the owner since he was wearing a gun. But I have never seen that in my life and I am almost 50. And while he was friendly and respectful, I just find that to be a very odd thing to do serving the public.

Absolutely amazing. The only banana pudding I’ve ever enjoyed. The pulled pork was incredible with some coleslaw.

The ribs and brisket was amazing. Try the baked beans and potatoe salad they are unique and delicious

Good portions for the prices! The BBQ was cooked well, tasty sides, and sauces were delicious too!
My husband and I stopped here on our way to our honeymoon, and everything was wonderful! The food was delicious, and the service was amazing. They even noticed we were newlyweds and surprised us with a free dessert!

The fried okra was the best I’ve ever had, ribs were on point. The strawberry banana budding was surprisingly delicious
