Nick's BBQ & Drive-In — Restaurant in South Carolina

I came here on September 24th on my way to Charlotte to fly back to Las Vegas , which also was my birthday. I grew up in Bennettsville and one of the things I love to get when I visit the Carolinas is Chicken Bog. Well , when I was in Myrtle Beach I guess I missed all the places that serve it only one day a week , usually Friday or Saturday. I called around and no one had it the days I stayed there. So when I stopped in Bennettsville I started calling places in Charlotte to see if I could get some before heading out , nope. Half the places I called who called themselves Southern Restaurants or such , didn't even know what Chicken Bog was , what !

So , I looked up on Yelp and Nick's came up. I called and the lady I spoke to said they make it everyday. So I drove the 30 minutes to get some since I still had time to get to the airport. The place is small , but clean , and seemed pretty busy with lots of people calling in their orders for pickup and a few diners like me. The 2 ladies behind the counter were nice and my order was received pretty quickly. The menu is pretty large for a small bbq place. If I lived close by I would've liked to try more things they serve.

Well now to the Chicken Bog. It was a big helping and came with hush puppies. I could've got more sides , but I just wanted to be simple to eat and run and I got a bottle of Pepsi. It looked pretty much like the usual yellow rice with shredded chicken. I did notice that there was no sausage and I asked one of the ladies and they said they don't put sausage in theirs which most times I've had it does and sometimes small pieces of green and red peppers which weren't in there either.

So it was a little more bland than I'm used to. It was almost more like Campbell's Cream of Chicken with shredded chicken added to it. I'm not trying to be mean , but it was a little disappointing. I added some pepper to help it out a little bit. The Hush Puppies were pretty good. I'm sure more of the food is probably better since the place seems to be pretty popular. I will also be making a YouTube Short of the place and I hope it gets them a little more business and gets the word out about them. One of my classmates who lives in Darlington now saw the pictures I posted on Facebook and she said she had never heard of this place and asked where it was. So I sent here...

The only time I don't like Nick's is when it's closed! Ha! This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. For a family of five price for quantity (and quality) is important. Nick's meets that need for us. Order the chicken bog plate with macaroni and cheese and string beans and you'll easily have enough for two. Or if you want to get a low cost, quick meal grab the grilled cheese with fries...better than mamma makes it! They often have great specials! If you have more time and want to eat in, enjoy a juicy BBQ sandwich and some southern sweet tea that is mixed to perfection and refilled with the kindest of employees. One of my family members moved away and he brings up Nick's all the time. There just isn't anything like it! It's delicious, affordable, friendly, and usually fast (occasionally they get backed up because they are so popular). If you have any issue, believe me when I say they will greet you with a smile and make it right. I'm a very picky eater and it takes a lot of consistency for a place to earn my repeated visits, but I could eat Nick's every. single. day. I mean it. Everyday! I love this place and the owners are good people- salt of the earth- kind and caring. Don't just take my word for it. Give them a try! Tell them Laci sent you and don't forget to grab a large sweet tea...

I Dont eat here and decided i wanted to try ! I call to order and ask for a half and half plate ! She ask wat will my sides b and i ask her wat were the sides ! This woman said “ The same sides we have everyday “ 😒! She then named the sides but i was so heated after that i said never mind ! HOW AM I TO KNOW WAT YOUR SIDES ARE ‼️

That was very rude and impolite! U never know who’s calling to give u business! I was very disappointed because the day i decided to eat local this was my experience!

I MADE A Fb POST AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ENCOUNTER ! Thats not good for business at all but maybe u feel ubdont need it!...
