Nick's Original Filet House

Top choice in Alabama


Also known as Nick's in the Sticks, this rickety back-road joint is a Tuscaloosa classic. Nestled in the trees about 5 miles out of town, with a flock of signed dollar bills stapled to the ceiling, Nick's does tender filet mignon and excellent ribeyes on the cheap, and they fry all parts of the chicken (think livers and gizzards).

Oh, and about that Nicodemus. Well, it's a drink. Beware the Nicodemus.
