    Pork Sandwich with beans
    Jon N.

    A solid BBQ spot. A party of 6 dined for an early Tuesday dinner. Service was good, the place feels like a Roadhouse BBQ, and the food was very good. Nice sized portions. Little cheese muffins were so tasty! No frills bar. Good choice if you're in the area.

    Fatty pulled pork
    Stephan G.

    I really wanted to like this place, but our visit was a letdown from start to finish. The service was the first red flag. It took almost an hour and a half to get our food. When we asked about the delay, our server, Justice, apologized but explained that he had to make drinks for other tables, so we'd just have to wait. The restaurant was dead when we visited, yet we still sat there largely unnoticed for far too long. When a place is that empty and you're still being ignored for 90 minutes, that says a lot. The food didn't make the wait worth it. The pulled pork was fatty and unpleasant, and the barbecue sauce was bland and watery -- not what you want from a barbecue joint. To make matters worse, no additional sauces were offered even when we specifically asked. The sausage came out burnt. My son ordered lean brisket and got a plate that was essentially all fat. Another son tried to order ribs, only to be told they were out. The one bright spot was the brisket chili, which was genuinely excellent -- but one good dish can't carry an entire meal. The fries were fine, nothing more. The value doesn't add up either. A combo plate at $24 that doesn't even include brisket is honestly a little absurd for a barbecue restaurant. Bottom line: between the poorly prepared food, the missing menu items, the questionable pricing, and service that left us waiting nearly 90 minutes, we would not recommend Jim N' Nick's and won't be coming back.

    Very warm welcome and exceptional customer service from start to finish. Justice was both my bartender and my server and was so helpful in walking me through the menu and explaining all dishes. Highly recommended!!

    Baby Back Ribs (4/5): I just really like ribs so I liked these, but they weren't anything special. Maybe a step up from Chili's. Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage (4/5): Good flavor but very dry and not juicy at all. Maybe a little too salty as well. Collard Greens (4/5): Pretty solid. Meat bits were mostly the bad parts though so that was a little unappetizing. Fries (3/5): Not crispy enough. Mac n Cheese (3/5): Flavor was there but the texture was very mushy. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Cheddar muffins
    Blake A.

    We brought the whole family out today and left completely blown away. This place is the real deal no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just serious barbecue done right. Chill vibe inside. We went all in on the meats: smoked chicken salad, spareribs, pulled chicken, Carolina-style pork, and BBQ brisket. Every single protein was fall-off-the-bone tender with that perfect smoke ring and deep, layered flavor you can only get from a pit master who actually knows what they're doing. The brisket deserves its own paragraph buttery, juicy, and sliced just right. The sides are not an afterthought here, and that alone sets this place apart. Cheddar cornbread muffins are no joke. mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the baked potato was loaded and generous, and the onion rings had a satisfying crunch. The baked beans had that slow-cooked depth, the collard greens were perfectly seasoned, and the coleslaw was crisp and refreshing ,a great palate cleanser between bites. And then there was the brisket chili. Smoky, hearty, and packed with chunks of real brisket , it's the kind of bowl that makes you wish you saved more room. Everything came out flavorful and cooked with obvious care and pride. the quality was consistent across the board, and the whole family left happy and stuffed. This is the kind of BBQ spot you tell your friends about and then bring them to the following weekend. Absolutely coming back.

    We were traveling in the Charlotte area and someone told us "you have to go to Jim N Nick's Bar-B-Q". So we did.... Now just my opinion! What I ordered I didn't like. My wife ordered the same thing and she loved it as well as four other people in our group said the same thing. The difference between mine and their's were mine came out lukewarm and everyone else's came out hot. I ordered the OUR FAMOUS BRISKET CHILI - Homemade chili made with our smoked brisket. I just didn't care for the flavor.... One of the guys in our group ordered the chicken and he went nuts over it! He said "this is the best chicken he has ever had" which is saying a lot because this guy cooks, smokes and grills a lot of chicken and for him to say that was the best chicken he has ever had is saying a lot. I personally didn't try the chicken but several other people in our group said the same thing. Definitely recommend this restaurant! Everyone was very nice! Everything was very clean. * The people in our group would give this restaurant a 5 star. My food and what I ordered is what my review is based on.

    Corn bread

    It is really unfortunate that this brand cannot keep consistency among stores. I have been to some that were really good and some that were just OK. This one was really bad. I had the rib, sausage and turkey platter. It came with 2 sides, I had beans and fries. The ribs were tough and undercooked. They were cut huge so that probably caused that. The turkey was OK but the sausage was cooked to the point that it was dry and hard. I really did not enjoy this meal. This experience probably pushed me over the edge to not eat at Jim N Nicks again.

    Pulled pork, potato salad, and collard greens
    Elisa A.

    It was one of my first meals after moving back to NC- delicious! I missed NC's pulled pork a lot, and this definitely was a hit! Potato salad was delicious as well, and the collard greens too! Definitely recommend this spot!

    My family and I visited here when they came into town and it was just okay to me. The ribs were good even though they could use more sauce. I wasn't a fan of the collards however I appreciated our waitress was kind enough to let me swap for another side. The baked beans however were a much better choice if you're visiting in the future. The Mac and cheese was also good. I will say they do give great portion sizes that will be more than filling. It honestly just comes down to side preference.

    Today while in Charlotte we decided to try Jim N Nicks to go. Everything was so good! I especially loved the deviled eggs and cheese rolls. Definitely a must try if you're planning to order from here! I also recommend the chili with brisket. So good! Next time I would like to eat at the restaurant as it looked pretty nice and the service seemed good as well. Definitely recommended!

    Brisket, corn on the cob and brisket chili very good brisket very lean, and the chili delicious. Service was good and smooth and friendly. Ambiance was good and comfortable.

    That's a $9 bowl of chill to go ! Nit even 1/2 full ! Absolutely ridiculous!
