The best bbq I've ever had, and I've had a lot of bbq. I…read moregot the 2 meat combo, which comes with 2 sides and cornbread. The cornbread was a giant slice, moist with delicious honey butter slathered on top. Ribs were very meaty with a great char, not too much fat. Pulled pork was delicious and not much fat. Mac salad was super creamy and the perfect texture. Tator tots were super crispy with a tasty dry rub dust. Help yourself station with 3 choices of sauce and little cups. All were tasty. I also ordered a side of white Alabama sauce, it was so delicious. Plenty of seating inside and a ton of varied seating outside with a lot of shade from sun. We almost left when we saw the long line out the door, so glad we stuck it out. We waited about 30 minutes just to order. Then the sign said "45 minutes to get your food after you order". Thankfully ours came in 20 minutes. Worth the wait if it took longer though. I would go back frequently if it wasn't a full hour from my house, but I'm already dreaming of going back. Leftovers heated up perfectly the next day. (Full disclosure, I ordered some pork hash rice and it was so gross. It reminded me of dog food. My husband ate it though, and liked it, so I can't judge.) I love you, Smokin' Pete's.

Only complaint was that the trays were too small for the sandwiches! The onion rings were sweet..a little greasy, but I'd order them again...great on the Little Butchie sandwich! Dylan served us so efficiently and with a positive attitude this afternoon. He always had a smile on his face, got our order correct for our party of 6, and offered us take home boxes at the end of our meal. Bathrooms were clean and neat too. Don't miss this great spot!! You won't be sorry!!

Nickels Pit provides three or four sauces you can put on. The tater tots were crisp and hot. The corn muffin was large and tasty, with a coarse crumb. The greens had some sort of cheese sprinkled on. I liked everything I ate. I ate as much as I could, and had the cold leftovers two days later for breakfast. It was still good. The service was great. I was the only person in the restaurant (Monday night in winter) and the server was very willing to help. He improvised a hot toddy for me, which they don't have on the menu, and it was very pleasant. Cost was $51, including tax and the toddy ($8), but leaving out tip.

The like was long - post even about 45 minutes but it was expected. got a buzz on my phone and it was off to the proverbial races !!! Nice combo indoor/ outdoor bar with patio with an open face to the building and architecture. Drinks while waiting were strong and affordable. Our waitress was warm and welcoming. She made us feel VIP the entire evening !!! The Bbq brisket and ribs were delicious and the Mac and potato salads were very tasty. I recommend the corn bread with the maple butter. Lots of sauces to choose from. The meats were a riot of Smokey goodness. If you're in Watkins be sure to stop in. PS. Probably the best most thought out to go packaging I have ever seen. I really appreciated the thought behind it. No plastics, no wax cups. Cardboard with vents so your food doesn't get soggy on the journey home also included a bag to put it all in without asking. Top notch. picture included.

Walking in the smell of BBQ hits like a roadside stand in the middle of no where. The place is…read moreclean and wasn't real busy on a Friday afternoon. The waitress was really friendly. We tried the 1/4 lb platter. With fries and potato salad. The pulled pork was amazing. Great flavor and very tender. The smoked sausage was as good as any smoked sausage I have had in upstate NY. The chicken was also very tender and had a good smoked flavor. The ribs had a lot of flavor and were not over cooked like some places do. The brisket.... Was brisket.... Maybe it wasn't made today which is fine. It tasted more like a roast than a brisket. My wife and I differ on our opinions of BBQ houses. I like to try the meats before I put any sauce on. My wife like it covered beforehand. This place doesn't smother it but does put it on before I got a chance to try the meats. The potato salad was ok but not bursting in flavor. The pieces in it are cut fairly large. It was ok. Fries are fries. A little over salted. But they did have malt vinegar. We might try this place again.

I was not happy with the food here. I ordered pork ribs and brisket. The brisket was nasty:…read moregrayish, and unpleasantly fatty. (It's supposed to be fatty, but not like how it was.) I wondered if it had really been barbecued. I didn't finish it. The ribs were okay, but not enough to make up for the brisket. The only part of the meal I really liked was the broccoli, which had been cooked with bacon. The plate below, with ¼ pound each of ribs and brisket, cole slaw, small corn muffin, and broccoli, was $47 including tax and tip. Price, service, and atmosphere were all acceptable, I have no complaints there. But the food was not good enough to bring me back.

We started with Taiwanese chicken bites as an appetizer. These (picture attached) were piping hot and the dipping sauce was ok but the bites themselves were pretty tough and chewy. They were 'crispy' but so chewy and tough that they weren't very enjoyable. The side salad was very nicely prepared and generously sized. It was pretty hard to eat because the small square plate it was served on was overflowing. The best thing we ordered was the vodka sauce pasta with shrimp. It was rich and flavorful. The other entree was a beet salad with chicken. The beets and chicken were fine. I didn't understand raw onion slivers on the salad and personally, I think onions and dried cranberries are both odd for a beet salad. What is classically on a beet salad and missing from this one was some form of cheese. Goat cheese would have been really appreciated. Overall I liked the feel of the Racalto's but mostly didn't enjoy the things we tried.

The interior is a bit sad- we took our food to a nearby park near the water to eat which was much nicer. The Brisket itself was okay but had large chunks of fat and there was hardly any meat.
