We heard about Nick’s from a friend. We ordered online on a Saturday afternoon, which made it convenient. When we went to pick it up, they were super busy so ordering online was the way to go. We pulled up and our order was ready. Well kinda. We got our food and noticed we were missing a slice of the Peanut Butter pie, which was highly recommended. I had to get their attention and asked about it and they had ran out. It wasn’t posted online as out either like some other menu items. They never told us and if we wouldn’t have checked, we would have paid for nothing. They offered a $5 gift card or another side. We just got a different side but they should have refunded it to us since the side was free but the pie wasn’t. We got home and we were missing a few more things such as sauces and another side. I ordered the brisket platter which was $18 but the portion was small. I feel you get more for less at Mission BBQ or Rib City. The meat was tender and flavoring was good but considering we spent almost $30 on 2 meals, and items were missing, I would tell anyone who goes, check before you leave. If you don’t, you may get gypped and they won’t care because they have your money.

Pretty good BBQ. Really good service! But I have to takeaway one star :( for portions. I know, I know BBQ is expensive, but I needed about 25% more portions on my meats. I kinda felt like I got a kids meal. Other than that definitely worth trying if you haven’t already and make up your own mind here. I would eat here again. :)

Food was really good, some of the better BBQ I've ever had. I know they have only been open here for a day or two so I'm going to give some leeway for them to get things going. But they need to figure out the drive thru situation if that is what they want to be. I'd recommend to the owners to utilize the window instead and have people park in the lot. The line was out of the lot tonight so I couldn't get in to pickup my mobile order. So I had to park across the street and walk. Then got up to the building the girl working the drive through had to come over and ask to help me. Putting her inside the window taking orders probably would have been a better use of her time as she could take and hand out orders. The inside staff ignored me for a few minutes as I stood outside the window waiting. I'll be back, but I hope to see improvement in the pickup/ordering situation. Update: went back tonight, food was good and line was much shorter. Still was an issue but there was a guy outside handling the parking lot tonight.

Wow, This place is excellent; I had the brisket sandwich this time, and yet again, perfection! I would highly recommend. One of the best parts, besides the fantastic food, is that they have a drive-through. I was in and out and under 10 minutes

Had to stop in for lunch and I was not disappointed!!! The food was amazing, the staff is super friendly and got everything I ordered hot and fresh! Will be back for more great job guys!!!

Small portions. I’d be more willing to pay what they’re charging for a better size meal out of convenience for location. Mac n cheese was not for me at all. Smoked Turkey was plain but not greasy or fatty as it’s Turkey. They should deselect the chunks of fat from chopped meat. Verbally Asking for a tip at the drive thru? Tips are for table servers who aren’t paid minimum wage. To ask for a tip on a charge slip when I can clearly see the tip line and I’m familiar with what it is for is inappropriate IMO. It’s a drive up window with expensive small portions in a bag. The only reason I have gone more than once is location. Last night I did a U turn and went up Winkler with many good options for take out service.

Super friendly service and food is really good they do deliver as well They don't have dine in fyi

We love good BBQ so we decided to check out Big Nick’s in Fort Myers for lunch the other day. There is no interior seating but you can drive through or walk up to the window to order. The lack of interior seating may be the only knock on this place. We know if we’re reviewing a place, we should each get something different, however as JD put it, “a BBQ restaurant should be able to do pulled pork correctly.” With that in mind, we both ended up with the same thing. Pulled pork platter with baked beans and their brisket mac and cheese and a sweet tea. We would consider the serving size to be ample, especially when coupled with the sides and the small dinner roll. The dry rubbed pork comes unsauced with your choice of sauce on the side. Options include Memphis Sweet, Western Carolina, and a South Carolina sauce. We I went with the sweet. The pork has a nice, pink smoke ring and good moisture. Sometimes pork can either be too dry or too wet, and this was right where it needed to be. There was a great depth of flavor with the pork, which is sometimes hard to achieve in BBQ, explaining why sauce is sometimes needed at other restaurants. But that’s not the case at Big Nick’s. The pork could very easily be enjoyed with no sauce. The baked beans were a nice blend of various beans in a sweet (but not overly sweet) sauce and infused with some smoked meat deliciousness and onions. When eating the beans, we both commented on how Big Nick’s does not lack flavor. They don’t shy away from making sure you’re getting a flavorful punch in every bite! For our money, We’d much rather have more flavor than less. We don’t want boring food and there’s no chance of that here. The white cheddar brisket mac and cheese definitely has a lot of flavor, but it might go a bit overboard on the pepper. While we enjoyed the creaminess of the mac and cheese blended with the smokiness of the brisket, we couldn’t help but think that many will find the pepper overwhelming to the other fantastic flavors. Of course, some of that will come down to personal preference as we still found it to be delicious. As we were packing up our trash after having eaten under the tailgate of JD’s car, one of the staff came out to take the trash for us and asked us how everything was. We told him it was great and our only regret was not getting a piece of peanut butter pie to try. A moment later, he came out with a slice for us to try. If you like chocolate & peanut butter, this is a must! With the Oreo crumb crust, whipped peanut butter mousse-like filling, and topped with thick chocolate, it may be a reason to stop in all on its own. The mid-week lunch with tip was a little pricey when compared to fast food. Keep in mind the BBQ industry is getting slammed with meat prices, so go expecting to pay a little more if you’re eating lunch. But, in our opinion, it’s definitely worth it and we’ll be back soon!

Been in Fort Myers for a couple of years and haven't found a great BBQ place and I have tried probably 6 different ones that are decent but this brisket melted in my mouth and the hush puppies were on point. Definitely my new place to get good BBQ, little spendy for the meal but honestly worth every penny. Will be going back for sure and anyone reading this should give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

It's a drive through. Very good value THICK with delicious tender pork freshly made FAST I got waffle fries. Couple dollars more than a Big Mac but wow way more healthy type food cooked up fast and HOT for you. Took a chance ran over there on my short short lunch break and it worked out great.

The food was great. We had the brisket and turkey and both were outstanding. Sides were good too and the peanut butter pie was as well. However, the eating situation is bizarre. We knew before coming that this was a to go restaurant. We pulled out from the window with our food and parked in a spot. However, one of the employees came out to our car within 3 minutes and told us that we could not park there and had to leave. Really? Definitely not acceptable.

Had the best Food from this awesome little BBQ restaurant. The brisket was fantastic and I highly recommend it. The Mac & Cheese was so good and my family loved the pulled pork. Their Ribs juicy and the meat came right off the bone. The kids loved the chicken tenders! (Hand Breaded). We are here visiting from NC and I think we know our BBQ. The staff was super accommodating with our order and the Manager was kind enough to explain to us why it was going to take a little extra time for our order to be completed. Many items like the chicken tenders are made to order fresh. I suggest you give this place a try you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent service, excellent people, impeccable BBQ! If you want BBQ executed the correct way for a good price, BIG NICKS BBQ is where its at! Fort Myers finally has a real BBQ joint!

Soooo delicious. ordered online, easy drive through pick up. So close to my house, I plan on being a regular. Burnt tip platter and peanut butter pie. AMAZING!

If there were dine in space, 5 stars. Brisket BBQ was tender, moist and flavorful. Carolina style sauce (my choice) added to the delightful sandwich. The Smash Burgers are really special. I left off the cheese, and the waffle fries were cooked properly, just shy of overpriced. No starchy taste. What a great place and prices are reasonable. Order takers are informative, attentive and polite. Great place!

Maybe the best waffle fries I've ever had. Got the brisket sandwich which was a bit small but priced right for the size. The brisket was tasty and the sauce was good. I think they're operating on a limited menu due to the recent hurricane. Staff were very pleasant. Overall a tasty no frills spot for a quick lunch.

Was very surprised that this was only drive thru. Quick service, pretty good bbq. Brisket was on the drier side but the sauce helped with that. Pricier than what I would expect for the portion size at this drive thru- I ordered a 2 meat platter (pictured) with 2 orders of brisket and there was 3.5 slices of brisket (other 0.5 of a slice was all fat). Will likely be back since that peanut butter pie looks good 👀

Well, I do have to say we tried 6 items on the menu. It was all excellent. I can't even make a suggestion to make it any better. The quality and taste are exactly as one could hope for. However the sides are tiny.... tiny Baked beans 3 bites. Potato salad 3 bites . Which came with a meal we choose 2 sides. But was Excellent wanted to order again next day.

Fries and BBQ sauce were excellent and the "tater" salad was one of the best I've had honestly. The brisket was good, but will try the turkey next time. Also tried the brisket Mac n cheese. The first bite is initially AMAZING, then, pepper hits you in the face like they added a shovel full ;) We'll be back!

This was our second time ordering from Big Nick's, the first of which was great. We chose then to pick it up. This time we chose delivery, scheduled for 6:30 pm. I ordered a full rack, a half pound of brisket, and 6 wings. My only issue was the brisket...clearly dry...even soaking it in some of the au jus, did not remedy it. I'm going to attribute that to having been late in the day. We'll give it another go some time soon.

Nice little spot in Ft. Myers. Ordered the brisket, wings and ribs Brisket was dry, but the rub was very tasty, peppery with a little spice. Wings were nicely done, slightly sweet with a little heat. The ribs were very good. Pulled off the bone very well, perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Great food, the brisket and pork was great. The ribs were tender and juicy. The mustard sauce and the vinegar based sauce are great. The amount of food was good, the wFfle fries were crispy.

This is probably the best bbq Ive ever had! The pulled pork is delicious. The baked beans are absolutely amazing and the brisket mac & cheese is what I would request as a last meal - it is THAT good. 🤤

Had the burnt ends platter with okra and baked beans. Ends were very tender and tasty. Sauce was a little sweeter than I like but hubby really liked it. Okra, awesome and beans were also. The beans had a little more spicy sauce which I really liked . It's a drive thru only.

Finally great BBQ in SW Florida. I have search for many years. Big Nicks is the real deal. A must have is the brisket Mac-n-cheese. The brisket is amazing. I liked the sauce but the flavor of the brisket was too good to add sauce. The peanut butter pie is great but sells out fast. Easy to find. It’s like going to Culver’s minus the microphone and speaker. Pull up to window. You are greeted by a friendly smile, order, pay and pull up to a parking spot. They quickly bring your food to your vehicle. I only write reviews if amazing. Enjoy!
