“Many restaurants receive reviews far and near depending on a multitude of aspects that must be coincide to ensure an experience was given to the greatest professionalism and decorum. Nigel’s has overwhelmingly exceeded everything they truly stand for, including an excellent staff with grandiose personalities, good that will replenish an empty stomach with a hearty and flavorful mean, and the atmosphere of resembling the Fitzgerald fairy tale of the Gatsby ball. I would personally recommend ten fold, the customer service is unscathed by some of the most talented crew I’ve ever seen. Don’t just take my word for it, go give it a swing!“

“I tried their red rice for the first time and it was delicious!!! 10 outta 10 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽“

“Okay honest review time---(4.8 stars out of 5- but we can't do partial stars) I got the garlic parmesan wings and fries with the pineapple lemonade. The lemonade by itself is 10 stars, nice and sweet and refreshing!! The wings were great too, super flavor packed and crunchy!! The fries were the only real food complaint, cooked really well but no seasoning, not even salt. They tasted okay but I ended up dipping them in the garlic sauce to make them taste better. They also threw in a plantain and it was good too! Atmosphere is effected bc its a food truck but the lady in the truck was friendly and so polite!! Definitely recommend this place, so good!!“

“Amazing food! Love the egg rolls! Been here twice from Savannah, GA and this place has NOT disappointed me! Desserts are delicious, you cant go wrong as well as the pineapple jalapeño margarita! Next time I will try the Award Winning Shrimp and Grits. The honey salmon was soooo good, too!“

“If y’all need a good southern home cooked meal this is the place to go! We got a meat, veg, and rice plate this perfectly hit the spot! The green beans were delicious and the pot roast I had was so flavorful! I also decided to get a strawberry shortcake cup which was so good I didn’t even get to take a photo!“

“Absolutely incredible food! The seafood mac and cheese is out of this world! The fried shrimp is so juicy and perfectly lightly fried (try it with the boom boom sauce!)! And the seafood egg rolls are spectacular! Everything was absolutely bursting with flavor and the staff couldn’t have been nicer!“

“Best meatloaf I’ve had since my mother passed away. Amazing homestyle food“

“The couple times I have been, Mr Nigel has been very hospitable and present in his building. He introduced himself and I told him I remembered his restaurant on Ashley phosphate. I specifically remembered a food critique from a social media influencer who basically trashed Mr. Nigels livelihood. I feel it is important to speak the truth about Mr. Nigel and his food. I knew this was not my experience. I have never had a bad meal from Nigels or Nolas. All of this to say, whatever experience that influencer had, is not what i had. His food is amazing. I will continue to patronize his restaurant. Only request is to keep that cornbread in stock because BABYYYYYYY I COULD EAT THAT ALL DAY LONG. SLABS OF IT. Thank you Mr Nigel for greeting me, making sure I am taken care of and my food has always been A-1. I wish you much success and I'm glad youre super close to my house. What a great spot! They had a live band tonight. Thank you again to you and your staff 😀 my photos are of the loaded shrimp and grits. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Which has shrimp, crab, crawfish and 2 fried oysters with a bourbon butter sauce and i also got some red beans and rice. I ate the oysters right away and I don't even LIKE oysters. But that flavor of the batter made them disappear quickly...lol..so one photo has the oysters and one doesn't. I ate em😂. ANYTHING YOU GET IS GONNA HAVE FLAVOR! Just a local gal speaking my experience with some good soul food dishes. I had a fantastic meal tonight. Go check them out. They are worth a trip!“

“Small African American restaurant. We white folks just off the plane from NYC were greeted like old friends by the ladies behind the counter. And the food was great. Was going to get just a vegetable plate — the lima beans were fantastic (never thought I’d say those words). The fried pork chop out of this world. The cashier made sure I got the free cornbread. Oh yeah, the bread pudding was out of this world.“

“Great food and awesome service! Will definitely go back again 😋“

“The seafood egg roll and crab cakes stuffed with shrimp was really good. Also had Mac n cheese and Lima beans. Huge portions so could not eat it all but I really wanted to. Their sweet tea was perfect for this GA girl. Definitely on my list for revisits.“
