First I love in the interior. It was clean and spacious and the natural love made me happy. I got the 1/2 chicken plate with collard greens and coleslaw. The chicken was delicious. Cooked to perfect and it was coming off the bone with my fork. The cornbread was phenomenal. I usually don't like cornbread because it can be dry but let me tell you, Rodney's was far from it. I wasn't a big fan of the collard greens but still that did not stop me from enjoying everything. The staff were very nice and I think about the days of coming back.

The Alabama 16 and the white sauce are my faves. Smoked turkey breast was fork tender. The beans are good, as is the potato salad. Comes with a sweet cornbread muffin. My wife had the rib sandwich with a side salad. Ribs were tender and there were 4 on bread. Everything was fresh and tasty. Great tea. Nugget ice. No complaints.

I ordered Mr. Jim's Combo Plate with two meats: the turkey breast and pulled chicken with mac & cheese and baked beans for my sides. Everything was really good, but surprisingly, the mac & cheese was a standout. And listen, not all mac & cheese is created equal, so I was impressed! But I can't forget about those complimentary cornbread muffins with honey butter. SO GOOD! I could've eaten a whole basket of those for dinner and been completely satisfied. The service was exceptional as well. I wish I would've gotten our server's name because he was so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

Had lunch today at Martin's BBQ Joint located at 3029 Pump House Road in Vestavia Hills, Alabama…read more It's actually in the Cahaba Heights area off of Highway 280. You order at the counter, which can be a little hectic for a first-timer. Luckily for me, I knew what I wanted and quickly found it on the big menu on the wall beside me. I later noticed that people were looking at handheld menus as you entered the restaurant. There was no one in front of me when I entered, so I didn't see those. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful in answering my questions. I ordered the pulled pork shoulder tray with two sides. If you have read my reviews, you know I only eat fries, so I doubled up the fries. You are given a number and can sit anywhere in their very big (for a BBQ joint) indoor dining area, or you can sit on a patio or outside. The walls are COVERED with pictures of old movie posters, country music stars, album covers, car tags, signs, and even a picture of the NWO (IYKYK). I didn't see the required Alabama BBQ joint picture of The Bear, Alabama football coach Paul Bryant, but with so many things on the wall, I'm sure it has to be there somewhere. There is a separate 'To-Go' spot for placing orders on the run. This also looked like a bar area as I saw advertising for alcohol. They also offer T-shirts and hats for sale if that is your thing. The menu consists of burgers, tacos, brisket, chicken, catfish, smoked chicken wings, BBQ nachos with just about any kind of side you can ask for, and pie for dessert. My order was brought to me in a timely manner. The BBQ is West Tennessee-style whole hog that Martin's cooks low and slow over hickory wood for up to 24 hours. The pulled pork is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, topped off with their special Jack's Creek BBQ sauce, on the table, which is a sweet vinegar and pepper-based sauce. I did see other sauces behind the counter, so I'm sure you just have to ask. The portions were just right for me. The fries are real cut potatoes that have been peeled. I doubled up, and that was enough to feed a family of four. Next time I will just ask for one side so as not to waste fries. The Jack's Creek sauce was great poured over my fries; it is water-based and not thick, and that is how I like my sauce. The sweet tea wasn't as sweet as some places, but I'm not complaining; it was good, and the day was hot. There seemed to be a lot of staff working. I guess it can be busy on Saturdays for lunch. I visited around 2:30 pm, and it was not crowded when I arrived but picked up as my time went on. The staff didn't have anything to say as several walked past me while doing random things. Not that it's a bad thing; I just always acknowledged customers with a "how ya doing?"--little things. The music was a mix of classic rock, soft 70s to hair metal, set at a decent volume. I don't mind being able to hear the radio, but maw maw and paw paw may complain that it was too loud. The parking lot may fill up with a big dinner crowd as there is a business next door that shares the parking lot. There is handicap parking available. Overall, Martin's offered a cool atmosphere for BBQ and a relaxing meal. They offer live music some nights (check their website), and it seems to be a great place for socializing in a casual setting. 5/5 -Kevin

The first time, I ordered the turkey plate with the side of the day, sweet potato casserole. The portion size was incredible. There was enough turkey for two meals, and it was so tender and flavorful. The sweet potato casserole was delicious as well. On another visit, I tried the chopped BBQ plate. Once again, the portion was generous enough for two meals. Everything was fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. A special shoutout goes to Linda, who was working the drive thru. From the moment she greeted me through the speaker, she was friendly, upbeat, and genuinely pleasant. Some people simply have a gift for making others feel welcome, and Linda is one of them. Her positive attitude added so much to the experience. Great food, generous portions, and wonderful customer service. I'll definitely be back!

He kept the adult drinks flowing, anticipated our every need, and delivered such great service that I'm convinced he has barbecue-related superpowers. Between the fantastic food, friendly atmosphere, and Justin's outstanding hospitality, this was less of a meal and more of a religious barbecue experience. Five stars--and an extra biscuit for Justin! I have traveled throughout the South and Jim &Nicks is hands down the best Barbeque. EVER! Now if Alabama could only beat the Buckeyes in football, Justin would say Roll Tide more convincingly! All joking aside, this place is the best!

You walk in and the aroma of smoking meat surrounds you. The open kitchen with the BBQ pit in the back is surrounded by booths and tables, creating a warm and casual setting that is perfect for a family meal. The staff were universally friendly, not just our waitress but all the other servers and kitchen staff. They greeted us all with smiles and interacted kindly with my baby and toddler. The food was hearty and homey, with generous portions. We enjoyed a burger, pulled pork sandwiches, a corn dog, fries, baked beans, and a fried peach pie with vanilla ice cream. The burger was cooked fresh and perfectly grilled. The pulled pork was smoky and tender, but the sauce was a little more vinegary than I prefer. The fries were perfectly crisp and golden. My kiddo gave a huge thumbs up for his corn dog and the beans were a hit with the baby. The peach pie tasted like something my grandma would have made, warm and sweet and comforting. And if you like sweet tea so sweet you get cavities just looking at it, Archie's is the place for you (I had to do half and half myself).
