Snagged a brisket sandwich on a whim and cannot wait to try more of this food. Melt in your mouth brisket. Green beans are to die for. Absolutely see why they’re world champs.

Freshly made pork rinds!!!!!!!... that's all I'm going to say. Okay I lied... thickly sliced brisket, cannibas infused sauce. You'll fall in love with them even though they dip out to bbq contests fairly regularly without much notice and leave you jonesing. Lol.

Complete trash! I had been hearing a lot about this place, mixed reviews for sure so I decided to give them a try & see what the fuss was about for myself. However As you can see from the pictures they did me bogus! So wrong... I paid $15.35 for 1/2 lb tip dinner 2 sides no drink. I got about 7 or 8 dry, over smoked, jerky chewy, hard pieces of "rib tips" that were so hard they were inedible. The Macaroni & cheese had potential but it was mostly burnt cheese & inedible, I also got the cornbread as a side & it was ok but unfortunately I couldn't enjoy the meal. I called and complained, the young man that handled my call was very kind and sweet, he offered to remake the order and insisted I got a bad batch of tips (laughable & far from the truth I wouldn't feed that to my dog.) I kindly declined and requested my money back. Took the food right back, got a refund & I will never return! As kind and sweet the young man was at the counter, he really tried to make it right I appreciate the effort in the second attempt but it should've been good the first time. I also must mention that the feeling I got was they were going to sell every crumb right down to the burnt, dry inedible pieces and they were hoping that whoever got it would just chop it up as a loss and not complain or bring it back! (This was from the vibe I got from the folks standing in the back kitchen, they did not care at ALL) So spend your money here at your own RISK! I'LL NEVER GO BACK!

We stopped by to get some of the food it was amazingly tasty and the smoked BBQ was awesome. It was a bit pricey and they seemed to be out of some things. I am a travel nurse, minister and author of 7 Christian books.

I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures of the food... This was my first visit here (Not my last!) and I feel confident in saying Rockford has some great BBQ in town! You could smell the meat smoking from the parking lot! If you have been to Dickies BBQ, try this place and you will never look back. Dickies uses smoke 'Flavor' and you can easily taste the difference. Little Nicks seems to be expanding. They bought a new building and they even got a new food truck. This is one place to look forward to seeing the food truck in your area.

Sitting at home thinking "I need to eat something", so I jumped in the car to go get something. I remembered I wanted to try Little Nick's BBQ, so I turned onto Auburn St. and pulled in. Talked with Jerome about what he recommended, ended up getting the 2 Meat Dinner. Opted for pork and brisket, and Cole slaw and corn bread.Now I love me a good hunk a cornbread. But some are good, and others... you know. But when I saw the menu said "Smoked Gouda and Jalepeno Cornbread"... Well ya! Let me tell you, it didn't make it home! So good!The pork and brisket were amazing. Great smokey flavor, and I went with the mild BBQ sauce because I'm Norwegian and that's just how it works. Kevin don't do hot. Meats were tender, excellent. You have to try this for dinner! Stop in and tell Jerome that Kevin told you to come! You'll love it!

From the super friendly and helpful cashier who took our order, it only got better from there. We had the Que for two which included ribs, chicken and brisket. With almost all the sides. The jalapeño cornbread was really good . We added pork rinds which were brought out fresh and still crackling. Seasoning on them was excellent. Brisket was very tender. Alot of food for a great price.

Ordered rib tips today and they were very good ,just not happy I was told there would be 12 to 16 tips and I received 9 ,the French fries were horrible, , tasted burnt and also Ordered 2 mac n cheese , 1st one was very good 2nd container was scraps from the bottom of the pan, they should never had been sold to any customer. ALL IN ALL, The ribs are very good ? just wast the amount I was expecting
We were visiting from Arizona BBQ was fantastic & they give you enough to get full off of it. We loved the fact that they offer daily specials. We'll definitely be going back our next tripParking: They do need better parking & access to the building. You have to park on the sides of the building or in the back. Signage also letting customers know if it's a one way or not easy to have an accident if you're coming from westbound heading east & cars parked on the side of building

I had the ribs, the briskets and the chicken. My favorite was the brisket. It was very juicy and not too dry and the owner is a nice down to earth guy. It was worth the trip. If I go back next time I'll just get more brisket and this place is only take out. No dine in. This is not wheelchair accessible restaurant

FANTASTIC! We had Little Nick's cater our 5/28/2022 wedding near Roscoe, IL. We tried several area BBQ places and it was apparent that his food was the best right away. We got rave reviews from our guests, with several of them saying that it was the best wedding food they've ever had! In addition to the awesome food, "Little Nick" catered the food himself and was so personable with our guests. Would recommend for a wedding any day!

Tonight we tried the Que for two. The ribs were good.They were out of chicken. So we got some of the pulled pork. And that was all really good. But the Brisket Was to die for. I would definitely recommend for everyone to at least try something at this establishment.

I deliver for GrubHub and been meaning to order from here! The people are amazing, super friendly and I have NEVER had a problem with them! Decided I better order for myself today, since I was working I unfortunately didn't get to eat it fresh, BUT you always know good food if you can eat it cold and it's still good! And it was! It was amazing! Definitely plan on eating there more!
