Nicky’s Smokehouse — Restaurant in Tulsa

Seems like they've moved into Mother Road Market. I've been interested in visiting ever since I saw them post in a reddit thread about great BBQ finds in Tulsa. You know someone is in it for the love of what they do when they aren't afraid to appreciate others in the industry even though they're competitors.

Anyways, into the food: I got a great assortment of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and slaw. Some pickle and ginger, slices of cuties, a tortilla, and a Hershey's kiss included.

A tier: the ribs and brisket, both just delicious without being overdone with sauce or anything. Just soft, fatty, and stands on its own without sauce.

B+ tier: Mac & cheese. Pretty great, not outstanding. Maybe just needs a tad creamier or softer?

B- tier: the pulled pork wasn't quite a soft or moist to be A tier for me, but in the slaw or with sauce, works out great.

Overall, really enjoyed the food...

We were staying in Tulsa for the BOYS FROM OKLAHOMA show in Stillwater. We wanted to check out classic places like Cain's & the Mercury Lounge. While checking out a killer band at the Mercury, we met a local named Matt. Over beers he suggested Nick's. We hit it up at 11am on Saturday morning. Thank God we did as there was a Helluva line soon after we showed up. We chose the Texas Plate as it promised a little of "everything". Result? A spectacular introduction to Oklahoma style BBQ! Brisket, Ribs, & Chicken were on point and the smoked Mac&Cheese was excellent. The biggest suprise was the thick cut smoke bologna! Skeptical? So were we, but it was culinary success. This place is only open until they sell out so make sure to be there when they open & the Burnt Ends are available! Nick's nearly worth the drive from Michigan in and of...

My husband and I have tried almost everything on the menu, and I honestly can’t pick a favorite item. The Okie cheesesteak is ridiculous, brisket is arguably the best in town, and the burnt ends… well I’m going to keep this G-rated. Lately we’ve been getting the 3 meat, 2 side option with OBVIOUSLY the brisket, and ribs, we change up the third meat. We’ve had the sausage and chicken (both insanely good, especially the chicken), but today we got the burnt ends. Just incredible. The sides are equally impressive. Mac and cheese is money and the grits… right up there with the burnt ends in my humble opinion. If you haven’t been by Nicky’s yet, get on over there and...
