Alabama: Nick’s Original Filet House (A.K.A. Nick’s in the Sticks)

Located at 4018 Culver Rd, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401

Cheapism said, “Since 1934, this humble-but-packed-to-the-rafters steakhouse with dollar bills tacked to the ceiling rocks it with Crimson Tide fans. Nick's is famous for a ruby red Nicodemus cocktail and mouthwatering onion rings that accompany a staple bacon-wrapped filet. No fancy sauces, just straight-up meat and sides presented on a wooden charger in old-school steakhouse style.”

One thing is for sure: Bite This! agrees with Cheapism about the mouthwatering onion rings. The bacon-wrapped filet is a complete win in our foodie books.

A Bite This! favorite is chicken livers, loaded baked potato, house salad, and, of course, onion rings to share (or not).
