Nickel’s Pit BBQ Corning

Best bbq I think I’ve ever had! The brisket was my favorite, turkey runner up! We got a platter with everything. Small place but cool vibes!

Great vibe right here! Super friendly customer service with a not too complicated menu! The very freshly smoked pulled pork melting in my mouth I was in heaven! The barbs ur sauce choices were all very tasty, but you don’t really need it as the smoked meat is so fresh and tasty that I was enthralled with it... although there are no ‘Burnt Ends’ at this location, I have no doubt that they are excellent! The chili was delicious and the coleslaw was perfect! This is a must stop location for any BBQ aficionado!

While staying in Corning this was a great little BBQ spot right on the main strip in town. Our server was a fellow Philly sports fan which was nice to see so far from our home in PA. I really enjoyed the pig wings with the hot BBQ sauce. My wife raved about the brisket chili which I tried and it was very very good. We decided to split The Yard which was an assortment of their smoked turkey, brisket and pulled pork. The turkey was out of this world. Hands down best smoked turkey I've ever had. The brisket was juicy and flavorful and the pulled pork was a great vessel for their house BBQ sauce. Each of the tables have 4 of their house sauces for your enjoyment. As far as sides go the macaroni salad was the perfect compliment to the meats. My only beef, no pun intended, was that the smoke flavor was a little lacking in the pork and brisket and the sauces were a bit underwhelming. Overall though we would definitely go again if we ever come back.

Absolutely amazing! Brian Sprague was an amazing server, gave great recommendations, everything came out quickly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our meal by bringing extra napkins without being asked. The food is out of this world, the meat is tender and juicy, French fries have such a perfect crisp, and the sauces are next level. This was such an amazing experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who can visit.

Super Delicious food with generous portions and affordable price One of the best meals we had since coming to US. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff! Highly recommend. For any foreigners visiting make sure to park in the direction of the traffic haha!!

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Walked right in, and had an instant greeting from server, Ang. The food wait time estimated under 15 minutes! Great place to grab something to eat and/or recommend for a couples or first date!

My husband and I each get The Butchie sandwich for take out. It NEVER disappoints! The bun is soft and lightly grilled, the brisket is tender and flavorful, the bbq sauce is sweet with a little kick that’s perfect, and the cheese and real onion rings on top make it amazing! I get the fries which have a nice light crisp and a fabulous coating of seasoning. My husband gets the tots which he enjoys as well. If you haven’t tried it, go! It’s the best sandwich I’ve ever had! The only bad part about it is you eventually take the last bite and get full!

A Meat Lover’s Dream! Tucked in the heart of downtown, Nickel’s Pit BBQ sets the bar high for authentic, smoky goodness. The warm, rustic ambiance with glowing string lights instantly draws you in, setting the stage for a proper BBQ feast. I went all in with their Pitmaster Combo, and let me tell you—it’s a carnivore’s paradise! This tray was stacked with: Brisket – Perfectly smoked with a gorgeous pink smoke ring and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The bark had a deep, savory crust that locked in all that juicy flavor. Ribs – Fall-off-the-bone tender with just the right balance of smoky and sweet glaze. Smoked Wings – Juicy, sticky, and packed with bold flavors. Paired beautifully with the creamy dipping sauce. Pulled Pork – Moist, well-seasoned, and delicious with or without sauce. Collard Greens – A great contrast to all the richness, adding a slight bitterness and fresh bite. Macaroni Salad – Creamy, tangy, and a perfect BBQ sidekick. Pickled Onions & Cucumbers – The acidity cut through the heaviness, adding a refreshing crunch. Nickel’s Pit BBQ delivers on all fronts—flavor, portion sizes, and quality. Whether you’re a brisket fanatic or a ribs enthusiast, this spot is a must-visit for serious BBQ lovers!
