    Out of town visitors - Jim N Nick’s BBQ was recommended by family. So glad we went. We ordered a (not-so) little bit of everything. Catfish, ribs, and onions were the best! What really made this 5 stars was the exceptional service!! Thank you for a wonderful experience

    My first time ordering (Ubeteats)from this restaurant. I was really pleased. I ordered a couple of dishes, as opposed to a "dinner meal". Since I'm new to area, Iam trying to experience various restaurants. I had the Brisket Chilli, chicken tenders, coleslaw, and potato salad.

    Better experience than last time, albeit mid pandemic at the time. Waitress was friendly. The ribs were great, although seemed like the cut was wrong. Fries with chili brisket is good. The place was clean and the ambiance is fair. The TV's seem like a good idea, but need some upgrading (small).

    As an African American woman potato salad means everything. When I tell you the potato salad at Jim N Nick's tastes like your southern mama made it 😋 ,I'm not kidding. The potato salad is so good I wondered if my mama was in their kitchen. The cheese biscuits are better than red lobster but back to the potato salad. You can order it for a party it's that good Jim and Nick's should have already started selling this potato salad in the grocery store next to Bob Evans because Bob Evans has nothing on this potato salad trust me so if you're stopping through or you're in the area try to potato salad get those cheese biscuits I am not steering you wrong.

    I ordered here twice and both times were to-go orders so I really can’t speak too much on service. When I’ve come to pick up my food, there wasn’t anyone at the register but a few minutes wait they would get my name and bring my order right out. Each time I placed an order online, the food was ready on time. My first visit, I ordered the two meat plate. Short ribs and pulled pork. Huge box of food. It comes with two sides. I opted for the Mac n cheese and collard greens. With the two meat option, you can choose what kind of sauce you want for each meat that comes on the side. I ordered the regular bbq sauce which was a little sweet and tart. The pulled pork was dry and not much flavor. The short ribs were delicious!!! The Mac n cheese was average and creamy. The collard greens were also delicious. The star of the meal was the cheddar biscuits OMG!!! They are little mini biscuits but they were so fresh and soft, a little sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed those biscuits with my meal. The second trip, I got the short ribs with double fries. It comes with like 3/4 ribs but they were chopped up so it seemed like more. The fries were okay. One would have been enough for me, I just didn’t want any other sides like baked beans, slaw, Mac n cheese or greens. The ribs were good without the sauce but I did put a little bit on a couple of the ribs. The ribs are a good size and worth the price. Again, it comes with two biscuits and they were fresh and delicious. A consistent flavor on both visits. I will try the brisket on my next visit. Definitely has become my go to spot for ribs and biscuits.

    For 7 yrs.of being regular customers (except the pandemic shut down time) services are declined, constantly. Last visit in October was our last time and we wont be back. That female staff who only took care the table next to us, but not us was the last straw. We sat at the patio for 15 mins with no waitress and no water. Turn out the one that served the table next to us, served us too. She was just walked, walked, and walked pass us for 15 mins even asking a word if we had anybody helped us. No more Jim n Nick for us. Pic I posted was the back of the receipt that my husband wrote before we walked out.

    Jim 'N Nick's food is always delicious. But, I was definitely surprised when a single 2meat dinner came to $30. While I understand that everything costs more, charging $20.49 + $2.99 upcharge fee + a .79 impact fee is just excessive!

    Waitress was lovely and made us feel at home, cheese biscuits are supplied before we got our drinks. Drinks were tasty, water has really good crushed ice. Deviled eggs were served very quickly and were big yummy bites. I’m not a big fan of carolina bbq as I just learned, it’s very acidic and has a lot of vinegar. Same with the coleslaw, I prefer a sweeter coleslaw, especially to balance out the meat. I hope to next time give 5 stars after trying another meal!

    3 stars only because our waitress was super sweet. Had to send both mine and my husband's food back because it was luke warm. Biscuits were cold.. Brisket & Pork had very little flavor. Pretty disappointed. We used to love this place when we lived here and finally made it back on a visit. Unfortunately, we were disappointed.

    Came during lunch on a weekday not busy at all, which I liked. Got a brisket sandwich, which was great! Everything was so freaking yummy. The collard greens, Mac and cheese and fries were so good. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich. AMAZING HE SAID! Decently priced for lunch but kinda overly priced for dinner items if you want that real BBQ! Speedy and talkative staff. Good customer service!

    Good chicken, turkey! The brisket was overdone but tasty. The sauces were good! Service was excellent! No sausage though... offers by the pound takeout! Pulled pork was moist also. It's a good place for BBQ. The sides were really good. Try the beans!

    The half chicken was out of this world. It came with the perfect portion making sure you're full when you leave. Probably one of the best BBQ places to visit.

  • 2/5 Tonshay B. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good but I am definitely disappointed with the portion size of the banana pudding now. It’s dem dwindling down to nothing since Covid. It’s now about 2/3 whipped cream & 1/3 actual pudding. The price has gone up a little too for less of it. Purchase only if you like to have a lil pudding with your whipped cream, not because you actually want banana pudding:( See pics of serving & how it comes in the container.

    First time here. Seated immediately, served within 10 min. Got the classic pulled pork BBQ with 2 sides. Server attentive, loved the casual relaxed atmosphere. Recommend!

  • 3/5 Amy H. 4 months ago on Google
    Service was exceptional but the food was just okay. I ordered ribs and pork bbq. The ribs could have been better. It was difficult to get the meat off the bones. If done correctly, the meat should fall right off. The macaroni and cheese was great, as was the baked beans. Again, the pork bbq was just okay. There were a few fatty pieces in it.

  • 5/5 Eric B. 6 months ago on Google
    The collard greens and mac & cheese are great, but the cheese biscuits are incredible! Try the homemade lemonade! Service is solid. You might have to wait a while depending on the time of day, but the pulled pork and brisket are worth it!

    The best BBQ I have I ever had eat… I don’t like Mac and cheese, but theirs was just delicious! Everything was so amazing, the flavors all combined made it so yummy. The bbq sauce omg!!

  • 5/5 Donnie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Waitress was very nice. We asked to be sat on the less populated side of the restaurant and we still hot great service. The food was amazing. BBQ chicken, catfish and brisket. I thought the chicken was best. The potatoe salad was also very good.

    Went here for dinner last week with the family. Never tried this place but it had great reviews. What was weird was I had a reservation and then when we got to the restaurant we were told we all couldn’t sit together. Minor hiccup the manager took care of, no big deal really just a little odd. Everything we ordered came out fresh and hot. I ordered the ribs with potato salad and collard greens. Presented well but the ribs were really fatty. Overall I’ve had better bbq but the interior was inviting.

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
