Nick's Barbecue

My opinion has really changed. It's right near my home, so I went there frequently and tried to confirm my impression. Recently placed a large order for guests to my home. It was terrible. Chicken was dry as shoe leather. Portions have shrunk. I used to love this place, but not anymore.

The following might be an inaccurate assumption. Use with caution:
The, I am assuming, 20-something  son now manages the place. Like many people who have inherited Dad's business, he failed to inherit the same effort to please which made Dad successful in the first place.
Now, when I walk in, all the help are very attractive young ladies and the (assumed) son presides like a king over his harem. His demeanor to customers is unfriendly and indifferent. You just don't get the feeling that he values your business.

I could be wrong and unfair with this harsh assessment,  but this is my impression after multiple visits. I don't go here anymore unless absolutely necessary, despite its convenience and proximity.

Food is always excellent.  I think the beef is one of the best around this area.

Restaurant is always clean and they always have more than enough workers to handle the business.

The only thing that made them loose a star is the drivethru menu.  It is soooo long that you need to drive back and forth to read the entire menu.  In the meantime, the person on the mic is waiting for your order.

Food is ok.  The only thing worth having here is the curly fries.  Food never really tastes good.  Definitely good service and nice staff though.
