Amazing BBQ! We missed it for dinner because the wait was over an hour (in hind sight we should have waited). Came for lunch and the food was some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had (and I’ve had my fair share)! The burnt ends were phenomenal, even my wife who doesn’t love BBQ the way I do said they were incredible. My kids (5 & 7) gobbled the pulled pork like it was their job. Hands down would have no regrets waiting an hour to get a table.
Great place to hand out on a nice afternoon at the outdoor bar. Pulled port sandwiches are great with a lot of different sauces and margaritas good.
Excellent bbq place on the main street in Watkins Glenn. It's the sister store of one in Corning. Very good quality and taste, I had the ribs.

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.
