Legit ! Legit BBQ in Watkins Glen! This is NOT your typical chain restaurant where your meat is smoked by amateurs and sits under a heat lamp until served. It’s locally sourced meats , prepared by a pit master that obviously knows what he’s doing. Portions are generous. Menu is vast. Meats are so flavorful that there’s really no need for sauce. ( They offer 4 ) . Best brisket I’ve had in a long time. Sitting here with a beer ( drink menu and bartenders are fantastic too ) and the meat sweats as I write this !!!
Next time I’m bringing my dog

My wife and I have had much better BBQ, we have traveled the country. The brisket was not up to par. The only saving grace was the sauces were great. But the BBQ is all about the meat. Pulled pork tasted better than the brisket

Amazing gluten-free food! The wait staff were very attentive and friendly. Prices were reasonable and the food was great. Almost everything except bread and cornbread is gluten free, including the sauces.

This was an ok experience for us.
The water in the area is disgusting so the waiter gave us the soda on the house which I thought was good. I really liked our server, he was helpful and fast.
The corn bread was moist and cake like.
As someone who smokes meets often I thought that the meats lacked flavor and the salt balance wasn’t there for me.
The loaded tots were fabulous

So happy we found this little gem! We were staying at Glenora, about 10 minutes up the lake and their restaurant was closed due to staffing issues. Nickel’s was open later on a Sunday so we got takeout and it was absolutely delicious. Best part…they told me they have a separate fryer for their wings and fries so I didn’t have to worry about any cross contamination. I could safely eat gluten-free there which was just amazing!! If you’re in Watkins Glen, definitely give this gem a try!
