Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Walked right in, and had an instant greeting from server, Ang. The food wait time estimated under 15 minutes! Great place to grab something to eat and/or recommend for a couples or first date!

The Nickel's Split was excellent. The only thing we didn't love was the smoked chicken breast (might have been turkey breast). The southern greens were fantastic, and the smoked wings and pig wings were great. The brisket and pulled pork were also delicious. The mac...Read More

Got there a little bit late. They were out ribs, pig wings, and corn bread. A little disappointed. But, the brisket was very good. Onion rings and fried pickles are a must try.

Everything was delicious! You can see the smoke lines on the brisket and the ribs fall off the bone. Flavor in the greens was excellent and Mac salad was perfectly seasoned and fresh. You can tell they make everything by hand.
