This place is amazing. The employees were very friendly and the food is always consistent! I got the wings and the rib/chicken platter, large portions and everything was delicious! The fries were crispy and coleslaw was perfect. The bbq sauce is Smokey and they def don’t skimp on sauce, which is very important to me. There’s nothing I don’t like about this spot .

Will right another review but I had to write the the Aroma coming from this place is amazing! Drop off a passenger a block away and I had to find parking to see what my nose was smelling. Let’s see. Stay toon.

Great example of very good pieces not working great together. We got Nick’s special filet mignon sandwich. Very good filet mignon. I guess for the price of $10.25 it was an appropriate amount. Very good sarcone roll but the roll kind of dominated the sandwich. Cheese, my kingdom for more cheese. Very good news for Mike Rant Sr., Kristen from The Inquirer has taken your title as world’s guest eater. She commented that this was a very good sandwich but not a cheesesteak. Good overall experience.

After hearing decent reviews about Nick’s in the past, I decided to give it a try. I don’t know if it was a not so good day? But the food was a major disappointment. The BBQ boneless chicken breast flat as if they were beaten. The sauce tasted very generic, and not home made. The fish sandwich wasnt good either. Didn’t expect my hotdog (for the kid) to be broken in half and on a round bun. And the ribs(not shown) were a big let down. The overall theme. Bland! Bland! And Bland! Everything lacked flavor!!! For the prices I paid, I expected a much better experience. 2/5

Don’t order the ribs. They actually smelled too raw, like poop. I couldn’t eat them. Paid $20 in total just to be able to eat fries and coleslaw.

Good food I tried one of their specials with mignon. Taste excellent.

This place was great. Ribs were fantastic…wings were good but the sauce was not something to write home to. The staff were friendly.

Nick’s Charcoal Pit is great. Their Nick’s Special filet minion sandwich is killer with a side of jerk sauce. Nothing like it in the city. Always friendly service, and quick takeout. Reasonably priced, too.

Initially I tried Nick’s about a year ago, and found my meal to be decent if unremarkable. After recently revisiting it, I was more impressed with my latest order. The boneless rib sandwich is fantastic– the portion size is respectable and it packs exceptional flavor. The BBQ were also enjoyable, however they were mildly overdone and the flavor did not seem to have penetrated the outer layer of the meat. I have it on good authority that the buffalo chicken sandwich is also an excellent choice. I will likely be considering Nick’s as a good choice for sandwiches going forwards.
