    I’ve been here a couple of times now, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. The prices are great, the service is always on point, and the food never disappoints. I usually play it safe and order the baby back ribs because the portion size is perfect for someone like me who eats a lot. This time I decided to take a risk and try something different, hoping the portion would still be just as satisfying and it absolutely was. I ordered the breaded chicken from the house specialties and honestly can’t wait to get it again. Also, the kale salad is surprisingly amazing and definitely worth trying. Nick’s continues to impress every time.
