I do a lot of travelling and try to avoid mainstream restaurants...the chains...the ones where it always tastes the same. Found Nick's Family Restaurant today...it will be my "go-to" when passing through Jefferson City. I had my own little flashback of going to grandmas to have dinner with each little bite I took. The chicken is remarkable....fresh and crispy and tastes like grandmas - who did the cast iron pan fry method. The potatoes and gravy were clearly homemade...just the way grandma made back in the day....not perfectly smooth.....but having tiny pieces of potato incorporated to remind you they are made by hand and to share some love due to the extra effort needed....no box! Soft fresh bakery bread to sop up the white gravy.....made for yet another flashback. It's nearly 100 degrees today....but the crisp fresh vinegar/oil made by hand slaw cooled you off nicely...and the subtle sweetness of the slaw made you crave more! Lastly....the staff didnt treat you like a "customer".....I felt like I was more over at a friends house having a bite to eat....I felt treated a bit more like family. I give Nick's 10/10 stars...but since this rating is only up to 5 stars.....read this review twice! Restaurant hours of operation are split....so go at the right time and enjoy!

Chicken and fish combo was awesome. Greenbeans were perfect. Mash and gravy super good. Will be back.

The best fried chicken 🍗. I have ever had. Service outstanding. Place clean veary nice atmosphere. Also you can bring your own beer and cooler. Well worth the drive from Columbia. Staff was great. Had to wait for chicken but it is cook to order. I highly recommended this place. Will be back for fish next week. Everything was good. Must try.

Delicious food. This was our first time there and we really pleased with how quickly the food came out. A little pricey but very tasty.

If you want a meal that tasted like your Mom's or your Grandma's, this is the place to eat. Nick's has the best cole slaw and fried chicken in town. I drive past several places to eat at Nick's. You won't be sorry.
