    Starving

    My husband had traveled all day to get to Gardendale. He had work in Birmingham the next morning. This place was close to his hotel and he didn’t want to get back in the car after driving for almost 10 hours. He loves BBQ and...More

    Good Food

    I usually go through the drive thru at JimnNick's. I get the family meal: a pound of pulled pork or chicken, sometimes turkey, two pint sides, and biscuits or buns. You can't beat that for a family of 4! Our favorite sides are their fries,...More

    One of the Best

    Jim 'N Nick's BBQ is one of the best things about living in Alabama! Very friendly service whether you dine in or carry out. Drive thru is often quite lengthy. Extremely tasty pie, but pricey.

    Nothing special

    I was unimpressed with the BBQ here. I ordered brisket and chopped pork (Carolina style). The brisket came plated with the house BBQ sauce already applied. The brisket was a little dry. The pork has very little if any seasoning. I had baked beans and...More

    Slow service

    Food is very good but it's overpriced. I can overlook the price but the service usually sucks, it should allways be priority to serve customers in the order that they come in. The wait staff are usually in the corner talking and I have to...More

    Great service. Great food

    We went as soon as they opened up on a Saturday. The biscuits are phenomenal. I had the Carolina shredded pork and my girlfriend had the loaded potato. You can’t go wrong here. The service was outstanding. Try it!

    Description
    Ribs. Pork. Chicken. Brisket. Hell, even sausage. All BBQ has the same three basic ingredients: smoke, meat and time. What makes it different is the amount, consideration and attention to each part of that recipe. That, and some really great bbq sauce, too. At Jim ‘N Nick’s, we pride ourselves on using the right ingredients, taking our time and honoring the traditions that brought us barbecue.
