Good bbq
We visited here and were cautious because we are from the south where pit BBQ is king, and figured it might not be good. Surprised! It was good. Service was good. Everything good. If you are from the south, order greens. They were fantastic. Brisket, and pulled pork also were great
Food was really flavorful and tasty

Nickel's Pit BBQ Watkins Glen offers delicious BBQ dishes that attract many visitors. The restaurant has an old garage atmosphere, which adds to its charm. The smoky flavor in their meats is just right—tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Their full rack and chicken wings are highlights, and the brisket and rib plate is a must-try, with tender meat that falls off the bone. The ribs are superb, and the house sauce contributes to the exceptional flavor. Sides like mac n cheese, black bean and corn salad, pickled onions, and cornbread enhance the meal. The pickle platter, especially jalapeno pickles, is worth trying. Guests can enjoy the savory burntendwich, and many recommend upgrading to the mac on the sandwich or choosing the premium mac on the side. The portions are generous, and the food arrives quickly. Friendly staff make the atmosphere laid-back and fun, making it perfect for hanging out with friends or family. Nickel's Pit BBQ is a favorite spot in Watkins Glen, known for its outstanding food and welcoming service. Visitors should definitely try the pulled pork nachos and smoked wings. However, vegetarian options are limited, but overall, it’s a place that keeps people coming back.
