"Ribs and chicken are the biggest draws at Nikola’s family-owned and family-run sit-down restaurant. Everything is homemade, down to the salad dressings. The carryout entrance is in the rear, but on Thursdays there are live jazz bands." - Eater Staff

Made a special trip while visiting Metro Detroit area. Service was somewhat slow although I'd arrived at the wind down of a bus load of people. The food and portions were fantastic. The broasted chicken was fulfilling and juicy as I remembered.

I went with a group of friends after a viewing of a beloved friend. The portions were huge. One plate could probably feed 2-3. The service was great. The atmosphere was good. People were eating and vibing. Awesome overall

The only bad thing i have to say about this place, is on the weekend, they are packed. That just means they have good food, right? They give very generous portions. You will definitely enjoy your meal.

I had the Big Shooter and highly recommend it. It was a lot of food and took most of it home. Ribs were meatty and flavorful. The grilled pork chops were tender. Kara was a very good server and made good recommendations.

RAW chicken. I ordered this as a carryout tonight on my way home from work. We started eating the pork chops (overly breaded) and then made our way to the chicken which was RAW. The ribs were tough and not tender. The pasta salad seemed slimy and low quality. We won’t order again. Disappointing as this is one of the few places around that makes this kind of food. I miss Brass Pointe!

This was our first time dining here but definitely not our last. Food was amazing with generous portions. My boys are picky eaters but this was not an issue here as they devoured everything we ordered. The Wingdings were our family appetizer but I would definitely order them as a meal just for myself next time. The breading was the perfect amount of crispy and the sauce was exceptional. I absolutely love the garlic bread. It’s huge! The staff could not have been nicer. Our waitress was great and the entire staff was welcoming and kind.

BBQ restaurant with a friendly comfy homestyle feel and large deliciously cooked portions. Be prepared to take a doggie bag home! All of our food was just wonderful - I can't say enough! Staff were great too

Portions are excellent. Service is great. Pork chops taste like it's cooked in shrimp batter. Ribs were decent. Greens were bitter. Candied Yams we're not sweet, pork chops shouldn't taste like shrimp ijs man d*mn. Salads were on point though!!!
