Standout dish:

The bacon-wrapped filet, a delicious, tender steak that costs a reasonable $21 for a larger amount, is the star of the show at Nick's in the Sticks. It comes with your choice of fried or baked potato and a small salad. A customer favorite, the melt-in-your-mouth filet gains a crispy, smokey edge from the bacon wrapper. Many people complement their lunch with a $4 glass of wine or beer to make it even better. Even though the restaurant isn't well-known for its ambiance, the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere makes for a very lovely dining experience.
