Big Nick's Bbq - Sylva

Excellent customer service! The BBQ is great and if you're into other foods....you cant go wrong. The burger, fries, chicken are all favorites. Do not miss out on the peanut butter pie! The best in town, hands down.Food: 5/5

We LOVE the food and the employees at Big Nick’s! You know how sometimes you go to a BBQ spot and EITHER the meat is amazing but the sides aren’t? Or maybe the sides are delicious but the meats aren’t? Here, everything is delicious! We are picky (I like to say discerning) eaters from Atlanta. And every time we are up this way for a break from the city, we make at least one stop here! Our very favorites are the brisket, ribs, pork, tater salad and key lime pie. Seriously soo good! i’m a big sauce person, but the meat here doesn’t need sauce IMO. And…if you ever see that they have brisket pimento cheese egg rolls on the specials menu, don’t hesitate on getting those! I wish they’d have them on the menu regularly. They are the best indulgence combo ever!!Each of the staff we’ve encountered has not only been nice pleasant to interact with (read: they like their job and seem to be treated well, which feels rare in the restaurant business since the start of the pandemic) but they are all passionate about the food and the service they provide. Hunter has served us at the counter the last few times and he’s great!The dining room is open 11-8 every day, and they take to go orders from 8-9pm without dining room service. Definitely worth choosing this spot of any others!

The brisket tacos were the best bite of BBQ I've had in a long time. Corn tortillas crisped on the grill, smoky brisket, and some Carolina sauce, I can't rave enough about how good these were!Food: 5/5

The dish that matters most in a BBQ place are the ribs. I bought 3 racks for family and friends and every one of the 10 people who tasted, including me, absolutely loved them. The sides however were ridiculously small for what was paid. Like a joke of a size. Don’t get me wrong, they were good. But that aside, service was professional and friendly, and the sweet tea was great. Would I come back? Yes. Absolutely.

We are from the south so I don’t go into BBQ places thinking I’m going to be wow’ed by the food but Big Nicks really surprised me. I got The brisket taco per their recommendation and they were so right.. it was 10/10 for me. The taco shell was crispy around the edges, brisket was moist and tender, the crema sauce was delicious and creamy, the melty cheese really brought it home though.. a must try! I like to try as many sides as possible at new BBQ places and these sides did not disappoint. The coleslaw was perfect texture and sweetness. French fries were crispy and seasoned deliciousness. Potato salad was creamy and amazing. The baked bean were sweet and saucy with good pieces of pork in there. All the food we tried was amazing. The service was incredible and they were so patient and helpful. We couldn’t leave without trying their homemade peanut butter pie.. also a hit! The restaurant was also very clean and welcoming.
