Nick's Original Filet House

"Had been wanting to try this place after reading the glowing reviews, and it certainly did not disappoint! The steak was excellent and the onion rings were incredible. Of course, the Nicodemus was a real highlight also. That being said, it's necessary to get there as early as possible since there aren't many tables and it fills up quickly! The website says it opens at 5:00, but we got there before 4:30 and several customers had already been seated. By 5:00, it was completely full and people were standing outside and waiting in their cars. Despite that, it's definitely worth it!"

"This place is a fun experience. We got there at 5:30p and we waited 45 min for a table for two. They brought us whatever drink we wanted while we waited outside the building. It is a small place, so there were a lot of tables inside that were very close together and no room to wait inside. I had the Nick's burger and added cheese with onion rings. I am really picky about my burgers and ate every bite. The onion rings were a good texture but I did not enjoy the flavor of the batter as much. We also ordered chicken gizzards, but they came out after we were almost finished with our meal. I only tried one, and I did not like the texture of them. I believe they are chewy by nature anyway. However, my husband enjoyed eating them all up. They did not charge us for the gizzards because they came out so late, so we only paid $28 for our two burgers. The wait staff was very nice and I am looking forward to visiting again."

"Simply the best hole-the-wall generational, family friendly, neighborhood steakhouse anywhere. Seats only 45, plus 6 bar stools. A legend known nationwide that's been going for about 70 years with only three owners. Definitely one of a kind."

"Absolutely amazing place. The atmosphere is fantastic. I was recommended to go here by a local and i dare say that filet was the best steak i have had in a long time. Perfection. Perfectly cooked and rested which some place don't do for some reason. The fries were disceptively good. Soft interior and crispy exterior. Even the free biscuits and salad were amazing. I ordered enough to take leftovers back to the hotel and i unashamedly gobbled it all but. I hope i come through here again to have another great experience!"

""Nick's in the sticks" This place is a cute mom and pop restaurant with a great atmosphere. Everything is super cheap. Got the large filet 6oz for under $20 and it was bacon wrapped and well worth it since it came with a salad and homemade onion rings. Plenty of food! Now the best part is the drinks! $2.5 beers ($4 Stella)and $5.50 nicodemus drink was great with 151 proof rum, tastes like Hawaiian punch. Would recommend and hopefully can make it back some day. They stay busy!"

"First time eating here after living in Tuscaloosa for three years. Went with a few buddies and was blown away. Fantastic atmosphere and even better service. Nicodemus drink was awesome. Will definitely be coming back in the near future."
