“ On our way home from vacation, my family and I stopped in and tried Big Nick’s BBQ. The food did not disappoint! We tried the chopped pork, the brisket, a cheeseburger, the brisket mac & cheese, the potato salad and a slice of the peanut butter pie and all were delicious! The sauces and the service were wonderful as well. We will definitely stop through again! ”
“ Best chicken strips/fingers I've ever had in my entire life. They taste like they're cut, battered and fried when ordered. Not greasy at all. I even had one left over, cold in the fridge and it may have even been better than when it was warm. Idk how they do it, but they make some of the best food around. Brisket mac is award winner worthy as well. ”
“ Great Food for a weary Traveler! When I travel I make it a point to try the local BBQ in the town where I am staying. Some are are good and some are great and then Nick blew my mind wit that smoked turkey! The brisket melted in my mouth and the meal had me full to the point of explosion! Traveling from Garner to Murphy NC is a haul. Eating at a place like Nick's makes it worth the drive! ”
“ I have known the manager Hobbit for over a year now and everyone has talked about how amazing this place is but for some reason it took me this long to try it out. Boy was I missing out! I expected it to be money well spent but I did not expect to have one of if not the best southern style comfort meals I have ever had. We ordered the half rack of ribs with brisket mac and cold slaw and the pulled pork sandwich with bacon and cheese added and it also came with brisket mac. Both meals were immensely satisfying down to the last detail. The meat was succulent and flavorful. It had substance but also melted in the mouth. The Mac had bits of pork in it and was delicious and the slaw was crunchy and refreshing with the perfect taste. My sandwich was perfectly balanced and the ribs fell off the bone and were delicious with perfect flavor. To top it off the sweet tea was on another level. It had that taste that only the best sweet teas have that almost taste like a Thai tea if that makes sense. I have lived in the south for seven years now and have only had a sweet tea that good one other time. This is without a doubt the best thirty three United States dollars that we have spent in the area since I moved here. Props to Hobbit and his crew here at one of the best places to eat in Murphy! The customer service was also top tier. Hobbit explained in detail and with a smile everything we needed to know and handed us our food with a smile. Big Nicks is where it's at. ”
“ This place takes a minute to get your food but it is so good! My favorite are the brisket tacos! ”
“ Oh my gosh this place was amazing!!! Wish we would of visited sooner. The place was so clean inside and out and the food was great!!! You won't be disappointed. Friendly staff!! What I did love is how they post the grade from the health department and this place was a 100, everyone should have to do this as I'm from Florida and they don't. Can't wait to come back and get some more of that wonderful, brisket mac-n-cheese and smoked turkey. ”
“ Great food and customer service, got the pulled pork, fantastic edges, good smoke. Side of brisket mac n cheese was awesome. Beans were tasty and the strawberry banana pudding for dessert did it. Really good bbq. ”
“ Went through drive thru. Very nice & efficient. Food was excellent. Ordered pork BBQ, hamburger, coleslaw, fried okra & fries. Will return often. ”
