Hubby and I had dinner here one night during our visit in Finger Lakes.
Nice vibe, good service and pretty decent BBQ. The weather was nice on a Sunday evening and all outdoor seatings were occupied when we arrived, we were seated indoor with no wait.
The drinks and food came out pretty quick. We opted for the combos which come with 2 sides. Hubby had the brisket & rib, and I got the brisket. The meat was flavorful and tender, a very satisfying dinner.

We have planned trips around visiting Nickles BBQ. The dry rub pig wings are what BBQ dreams are made of. Definitely over order so you have some leftovers. It’s worth waiting in line! My last picture is of our leftover sheet pan lunch the following day.

I was planning my brother’s bachelor party and wanted to get a catered BBQ dinner for one of the nights. I ordered a catered delivery for about 16 people and the food was a huge hit. The team was great in reaching out to me to confirm the order and the logistics. The food was delivered right on time and the brisket was still perfectly juicy and the tots perfectly crispy (and seasoned) considering it was about a 40min drive from Watkins Glen. Highly recommend if you’re looking to feed a large group a great meal.

We stopped here while on vacation and we’re so glad we did! The place was packed and we didn’t have reservations but we were able to get seated within about 20 minutes. All of the staff were super attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and we loved all the BBQ/hot sauces we tried. We will definitely be stopping by whenever we’re in the area again!

I can’t remember ever having better BBQ than I ate at Nickel’s! The meat was so incredibly tender and the sauce with molasses was amazing! Drinks were tasty and our bartender Chris was awesome! She was super friendly and added to our experience.

Food was very good to excellent, but some serving sizes seemed small and poor service.
Highly recommend the ribs. Perfect tenderness and no need for sauce. The 1/2 rack seems small. Cornbread muffin and dill pickle potato salad also highlights.
“Smoked” wings were really good, but didn’t detect any smokiness. Pig wings (fried ribs) were ok. We preferred the regular ribs. Ordered a la carte and $5 for a small side of fries was overpriced.
Service was great at the beginning, but after ordering and receiving our food, which came out very quickly, our server didn’t come back. We eventually had to wave her down to get the check.
Nice outdoor seating, which allows dogs. Also nice indoor atmosphere.

Exceptionally delicious food. Great service and overall experience
We walked in and put in our names for a table on a Friday 5pm summer evening, and got a table within 10min.
server was super polite, patience and even suggested to us a drink (berry sparkler minus the bitter) and it was an amazing drink with dragon fruit
We also got the tater tots with burnt ends – amazing, loaded with good food and enough for our family of 3 to share
We also shared a brisket combo with beans + Mac n cheese and it was also delicious. Great sauces served at the table, too.
We would gladly visit this place again.

Best bbq in town. They dont accept reservations, so if you have a large group, be sure the whole party is there or they won’t seat you until they all arrive. Friendly staff, and you get generous portions for your sides. We had the whole menu and the pork and brisket combo. The whole menu comes with pulled pork, brisket, half rack of ribs, burnt ends, and the BBQ of the day, which today was half smoked chicken. You also get all 11 sides, which includes the premium sides. The collard greens were a bit salty, and we didn’t care for the potato salad, but all the other sides were very good. The corn muffins with cinnamon butter were yummy. The whole menu costs $99 and will easily feed 5-6 people. If you go with the pork and brisket combo for $29, you get a large piece of brisket and a pile of pulled pork along with 2 sides. The combo is enough for 2 people. We added a corn muffin to the pork and brisket combo, and it was plenty for 2. They have a full bar and a nice selection of local craft beers as well as seltzer and other drinks available. Stop in and try it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

I came on a Saturday dinner rush and was able to sit at the bar right away. Food didn’t take long. The BBQ meat is delicious. The sides were okay, some salt and acid would take the corn and beans salad to the next level. Prices are decent. Service was good. Overall I would recommend.

I have been to Watkins Glen Porsche DE track events multiple time and this my first time trying this place. I sat at the bar and the ambience was festive. It was a Friday night and quite busy. I ordered the onion rings and brisket with burnt tips. Both were excellent and almost as good as Terry Black’s BBQ I had in Dallas. I will definitely visit again
