Nick's in the Sticks - Tuscaloosa

it's so close to football season.  and i hate saying anything good about the university of alabama, but i will.

this place is pretty good.

we went there over the winter, because B just had to have his iPhone and we had to travel forty-five minutes for it.  and once upon a time, an awesome friend of mine (although she is a crimson tide fan), told me about this restaurant that was hidden from the main drag, and seriously out "in the sticks."  and she also told me that this "nicademus" drink will pretty much knock you on your butt.

and it did.

we had two.  then they stop you.

p.s.  poor photography quality is apparently what i'm all about.

this sign is not facing the street.  it is facing the door on the inside of their patio.

nicademus...is there alcohol in it?  sure doesn't look like it.

dolla dolla bills on the ceiling y'all...

homemade salad dressings are the shizz.

onion rings are my fave.

inside bar.  you can't really see how packed out it was, but it was.  and on top of that it was a super small place.

baked tater.

you can't really see the filet due to my awesome iPhone photography, but it's there.  with a piece of bacon wrapped around it. 

and please feel free to tell me if you've ever seen natty light in a bottle before.  we hadn't.

all in all, you pretty much get what you pay for.  there really wasn't a wait when we went there.  school was out, and it was pretty late on a week night.  i've heard the wait can get pretty long, and that sometimes the staff isn't so friendly.  i will tell you that they can definitely tell when you've never been there.  but all in all, it was a pretty good experience.

even if it wasn't, i would really remember it.

thanks nicademus.

oh, and having auburn stuff on the back of your car is probably a bad idea too...
