Many, many of our guests said it was the best brisket they had ever had and all the pulled pork was eaten! Tyler was on-time and set up in 30 minutes for a great dinner event. Everyone said it was the best party they had been to in years (thanks to the wonderful BBQ food). Very cool to have the food truck right in the driveway and tables and chairs set up in our 3-car garage for easy access to the food! Tom M.

*** Reviewing for the Cape Coral location ***…read more I love to support small businesses and I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. I ordered a brisket, ribs, smoked wings with mac n' cheese and baked beans. Brisket - Fantastic. It's a good amount of fat on the meat where it's juicy and not dry. Super flavorful, didn't need any sauce and tender. By far my Favorite. Ribs - Great. It has good texture and flavor and I enjoyed it. Smoked wings - Smoked and cooked to perfection. The sauce they toss it in is what made it unique too. Mac n' cheese and baked beans were good too! If I recall, I believe the beans had brisket pieces in it too. Service was great. The cashier and owner himself were Super friendly and nice. Whenever I'm in the mood for barbeque, I would genuinely come back to support this place. I rather here than go support a terrible chain bbq place. This hidden gem is located in an apartment building near downtown Cape Coral. Free street parking but also free public parking next to the Dollar Tree located across the street.

Big Nick's BBQ: Big Flavor, Tiny Portions…read more If you're the kind of person who likes their BBQ served with a side of financial regret and lingering hunger, then Big Nick's BBQ is your spot. Let's get the good stuff out of the way: the food tastes great. Smoky, well-seasoned, and cooked with care--whoever's manning the pit knows what they're doing. The burnt ends? Delicious. Tender and flavorful. Even the sides were tasty... all three tablespoons of them. Yes, I measured--because how could you not when your mac and cheese comes in what looks like a hotel shampoo cup? But here's the rub (pun fully intended): for what you pay, you'll expect to leave full, maybe even waddling a bit. Instead, I left wondering if I'd just finished the kids' sampler. The portion sizes were shockingly small--like, "am I on a tasting menu?" small. I didn't expect Big Nick's to serve tiny tapas with Texas flavor. In short: Big Nick's is an expensive date that flirts with your taste buds and then ghosts your appetite. Come for the flavor, but eat a sandwich before you arrive--or be ready to swing by a drive-thru afterward. You've been warned.

We got a huge tray of brisket, burnt ends, baked beans, and mac n cheese. We had about 40 people in attendance and it was more than enough food (with plenty of leftovers for the next day). Everyone was raving about the meats... my two year old even approved! I can see why locals say that this is the best BBQ in the Cape!

There was a guitar playing singer who was very loud and not very good. They didn't appear to be anybody eating food. It seemed like the entire collection of customers, which wasn't very large to begin with, was barely legal or under age people there to drink. We only stopped there because we didn't know they had taken over pelican Larry's and we will not be going back. We chose not to eat because we couldn't tell if they were even interested in serving food plus the music was so loud it would not have been enjoyable.

We received extremely welcoming and friendly service at the cooked meat counter while deciding what to take home for lunch. The staff took the time to walk us through the different cuts, from Brazilian-style to brisket to top sirloin, and even let us sample a few. We ended up going with 1.5 lbs of brisket for four people, sliced medium to thick for sandwiches at home. They also had freshly prepared sides like coleslaw and mac and cheese available in the refrigerator case. And don't skip dessert. Be sure to grab a key lime pie, they even have mini ones.

... 09 March 2026 …read more.. We were hungry. So "we" ( me ) decided to go to near by Rib City. The 3 of us entered the restaurant and were immediately greeted and seated. Menus were presented to us by our lovely and sweet waitress, JOSLYN. She gave us enough time to peruse the menu and to decide what we were going to order. Two of us ordered the combo of half slab of Ribs and half order of shrimp along with Cole slaw and bbq baked beans. One of us ordered a combo of Ribs & Chicken dinner. When our order arrived I looked at my half slab of Ribs and thought that these are the smallest Ribs I've ever seen. I was contemplating registering a complaint but I was too hungry to do so. I dug into the baked beans and was surprised that though a small order they tasted pretty good. I then moved onto the Cole Slaw and that was rich and creamy and tasted pretty good too. Next I grabbed one of those tiny little Ribs and placed it in my mouth and it was oh so good ( surprise ). Even the garlic toast was delicious. I was completely disarmed by the savory taste of the food. My complaint was quickly dismissed. As for how small the portions were I was surprisingly full midway through dinner. My 1 star review quickly became a 4 Star review. I subtracted one star cuz the Ribs were small. When they called them "Baby" Back Ribs , they were not kidding. They were "BABY" back ribs. ( But Good ) Nevertheless, After all is said and done I might consider a return visit to Rib City. Cuz this visit was hmmm hmmm good. So good.

To be honest, the only thing that was worth coming back for and tastes good is the ribs! I mean it should right?! So we are going again and I am just getting a rack of ribs .

But yeah the potato, green beans, other sides not big deal, but the ribs, oh man!! Our waitress was ginger and she was amazing! She even brought over a mac and cheese for mg five year old ad he wasn't eating much and she wanted to make sure he ate something. So sweet! She is a mom and gets it!

We stopped by Oak & Stoney while visiting, and honestly it turned into one of those meals where you…read morekeep saying "okay this is the last thing we're ordering"... and then order something else. First, the food was great. We tried the mushroom burger, the smash burger, and a quinoa bowl, and everything was really good. The burgers were flavorful and satisfying, and the quinoa bowl made us feel like we were making at least one responsible life choice that day. But the real star of the show was the self-serve beer tap wall. They give you a wristband, you tap it on the machine, and pour whatever beer you want. Then you just pay for exactly how much you pour. Which sounds responsible... until you realize you can try a little bit of everything. We ended up sampling several different beers because it was just too fun not to. Tons of variety, and everything we tried was excellent. The only suggestion I'd have: it would be amazing if there was a small tasting station so people could try. When there are that many options, choosing can feel like a very serious life decision. Overall though, great food, a really fun concept, and a cool atmosphere. 10/10 would absolutely come back... mostly to "responsibly" test more beers.

They have good sweet tea, which is always a plus for a BBQ restaurant. We will stop by again.
