Nick's Family - Jefferson City

Best Fried Chicken... EVER!. I am serious and often critical regarding dining out and fried chicken. I can tell you as a 60 year old who has to have fried chicken at least once a week that this evening I discovered what many have known for years the best tasting fried chicken EVER is at Nick's Family Restaurant in Jefferson City, Missouri! Not bland and not spicy and not heavily seasoned, but absolutely tasty, flavorful and magnificently delicious. I am a retired Air Force Chaplain and I have been many places in the states and overseas and to my happy surprise the best fried chicken ANYWHERE is at Nicks! Family style sides of green beans, mashed potatoes and chicken gravy, Cole slaw and Apple sauce compliment this heaven sent chicken. Lastly, they serve a generous dish of ice cream to top off your fried chicken dining experience. Customers are happy and laughing and their conversation is only interrupted now and then by friendly and helpful waitresses! Absolutely love and recommend this restaurant.

Special Friday hours. Please note that nick's is closed from the end of lunch at 2 p.m. until they start dinner at 4 p.m.also note that their breakfast sandwiches are served open-face with egg and meat on both pieces of bread, therefore one sandwich is substantial more than what you would get elsewhere

Great catfish dinner. I had the catfish dinner, the fish was very well cooked and not greasy at all. The potatoes and gravy are also awesome.
