FOOD IS SO GOOD! Me and my family have stopped in here a couple of times to eat, and it is so good every time! Once you get seated, they give you complimentary cheese biscuits. They are addicting. They are soft, fluffy, hot, cheesy, and delicious. I always get the chicken tender basket, with either fries or Mac and cheese. The tender are big, juicy, crispy, and hot. They are so good when they are paired with the honey mustard. The honey mustard is like a sweet-dijon. So good! The Mac and cheese is always creamy, and the noodles are always soft (not stale like some places), and the fries are always fluffy and crispy. The tea could be better (It is pretty weak), but the food makes up for it. The service isn't always the best (it depends on who you get), but they are never mean. Some of them just act like they just have somewhere better to be. Yesterday, they were short staffed and our server had to cover the whole bar (it was full), and several booths and tables, so I can understand how busy she was. Still, she did a great job for the amount of work that she had. If you live in Charlotte or the surrounding areas, are driving down I-85, or live in Concord, PLEASE stop in at Jim 'N Nick's. It is a more modern-family-feel restaurant, but is still super good and fresh!! read more

Decent BBQ with Solid Food, Average Service I recently ate at Jim 'N Nick's BBQ in Concord and overall had a pretty decent experience. The food was definitely the highlight -- everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The BBQ had good flavor, and the sides were solid too. We.ordered a platter to share with ribs, shredded chicken and lean brisket with the coleslaw and potato salad. You can tell they take their time with the smoked meats, which is what keeps people coming back. Common areas were clean and the vibe was family friendly. The service, however, was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything special. Staff were polite, but things felt a bit slow and not very attentive compared to what you'd expect at a place like this. Overall, I'd still come back for the food since that's the most important part, but improving the service would definitely make the experience better. read more

I really come for the cornbread muffins and the chicken finger dinner. The muffins were a little cold which was a little disappointing. Besides that, the server was friendly and quick. The tenders were fresh, hot, and big. The collards were sooooo tasty and the Mac was good. I also ordered a Southern Peach drink that had bourbon and a peach puree-- it was so good. I'll be back read more

Great food and service!!!! The brisket and turkey was so tasty and the Mac and Cheese was so delicious! Everyone was very nice and welcoming! Will be back! read more

I have been to Jim 'N Nick's a few times before. They were always pretty good. Everything was good. I had the Collard Greens and the pulled pork. Overall an 8/10. The servers were friendly and fast. The ambiance is chill, very casual, and not too loud which is great chatting with friends or on a date. read more

We stopped in at Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q and were not disappointed! We started with the deviled eggs, which was such a fun surprise--I don't think I've ever seen deviled eggs on a restaurant menu before. They were creamy, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. Then came a basket of their cheese biscuits... oh my goodness, those are to die for! I ordered the pork with their house barbecue sauce and chose collard greens and mac and cheese for my "trimmings" (that's what they call sides). The collard greens had a nice spicy kick, and the mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. Two of my colleagues ordered the brisket and said it was the best they've ever had--I was almost wishing I'd ordered that too! We wrapped things up with banana pudding, and let's just say the plate was practically licked clean. If you're anywhere near Charlotte, Jim N Nick's is definitely worth a stop--great barbecue, friendly service, and those cheese biscuits alone make it memorable. read more

Our server was on top of it. The food was delicious. The portions were large. Enjoyable atmosphere.

I don't remember being this disappointed the couple times I've been here a few years ago. Something must have changed in management or staff, but we were very underwhelmed. Lots of tables available but still had to wait 20 min (which we were told would be 10-15min) so probably not enough servers. Our server barely came to check on us, and even though we ordered immediately after being seated, things were still so slow. The brisket was dry, not much flavor, and definitely not marbled, despite confirming with our server she ordered marbled for us instead of lean. It's hard to mess up pulled pork, but this tasted like nothing. Best part of the meal was probably the corn and the cheese biscuits. Even the second batch of cheese biscuits took a while. Our mistake for coming here instead of any of the much better bbq options in Charlotte. read more

After that other place across town that's not worth mentioning - we sped away from that shop - JNN made me feel like we made the right choice. I felt bad pushing my friends but we needed food and the other place just didn't give a mac. Well, at JNN, the server actually greets you, brings you water, takes your order, and checks on you! Normal server things! Yay. JNN feels like Mission BBQ inside - rather bright, music playing, but not overly kid-oriented (no loud birthday celebrations for example, I heard a waitress wish someone a happy birthday and that was that). Good southern taste. Those cheesy corn biscuits that came right out to the table, oh. my. goodness. I'm so sad that we drove out past the drive-through and it said you could order them by the half-dozen or dozen! I so could have taken another bag of those home with me. Creamy, fluffy, sweet, perfection. The special mac n cheese balls - very good, maybe a little too greasy and over-fried on the outside. Kinda masked the taste inside. As for the entree? My first bite of chicken was a little tough, but it got better as I ate into it. If you can handle a little twinge of heat, ASK FOR THE HONEY HOT BBQ SAUCE. One of the best sauces I've ever come across. It went on everything, though the chicken honestly stood on its own merits. Of the sides, I think I overdid it with the mac and the app. The collards are tasty with their meat included, but not quite cooked down enough - still crunchy. My friend enjoyed the baked beans and their meat. Well, with good service, atmosphere, and food, I had to walk out of there with the dessert. Dark molasses, pecans all the way through? That's my vibe. And of the many north Charlotte BBQ places, I vote that this should be yours as well. read more

I had a fantastic experience. I ordered the 3 meat combo, Brisket, chicken and Carolina pork... Mac n cheese and baked beans. Everything was outstanding! I can tell you... the owner really CARES about your patronage. read more

No complaints! Delicious food- moist chicken, ribs were okay my husband said middle was delicious but end was a little hard and the Mac n cheese was delicious! I always enjoy a Mac with a crust! My favorite has to be their cheese biscuits! Our waitress was nice and attentive but not in the way lol which was perfect. The place is fairly large which is nice especially if you have a small group you won't have to wait long probably. The music was nice all in all a nice spot to eat. read more

Went for lunch recently. The cheesy muffins are addicting. I had the ribs, brisket combo with collard greens and the brisket chili. Catfish sandwich, and pulled pork and sausage also all very good. Excellent service and plan to go back read more

Jim N Nicks is the BEST! The best bbq ever. When traveling to Charlotte we always stop at Jim n nicks bbq. We've never had a wait, and the one time it was crowded we sat at a the bar, easy! I love their bbq, the bbq beans are amazing, and the cheese biscuits are out of this world! A cool thing is their seating and ambiance. There are booths up higher like bar table height not a booth. And the same ones lower. The are booths open on both sides. It's easy for people to come and go. But the food!!! read more

Despite being understaffed during our visit they still managed to serve up some of the tastiest bbq I've ever had. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was outstanding. Stayed in a nearby hotel for a concert and I'm so glad we ended up here for dinner. The honey habanero sauce on the wings was to die for. I meant to buy a bottle on the way out but forgot. Will definitely be back next time I come to a show at PNC Pavilion. read more

Service and staff were amazing. My server was super helpful and everything came out fast

One of the best barbecue places in the country! I used to come here all the time when I lived in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, I was thrilled to see that there was another location in Concord because it's literally the best! Everything from their cheesy biscuits, from their pulled pork sandwiches, deviled eggs, mac n cheese and brisket, you literally cannot go wrong here. The service is always amazing and the waitresses are always so sweet, they all treat their customers with genuine southern hospitality. If you're looking for good barbecue with good service, this is a spot you do not want to miss out on. read more

This one will be short and sweet... Great burger, in regard to taste, which is why I drove to this location and ordered to-go. I had a combo with a side of fries. I had to remind the person at the window that I was due a drink because only my food was given to me. When I get home, I have enough fries to count in an oversized container that's clearly intended for more... and they were barely luke warm. If I were in the restaurant I would request a hot (full) side of fries. Essentially I paid $13 for a burger, cold fries and a drink (that's mostly ice). read more

Used this location for a large catering order and they did not disappoint! Large portions, good quality and they even called the day before to ask if they could do anything else for us. Great location! read more

The spare ribs and brisket were good. They give you a lot of food so come hungry or share with someone. The onion rings were good and hot and I was pleasantly surprised by the cheese cornbread. I tried several sauces and decided they weren't for me (to much vinegar or sweetness). The staff was friendly and helpful with deciding what to order and how it was prepared. read more

Great restaurant for BBQ and smoked meats. Quick courteous service and great for family/group meals. The Korean chicken wings are amazing and the brisket melts in your mouth...oh my the cheesy corn muffins are a must have read more

Amazing food at amazing prices. Costs less to eat here for 2 adults and 2 kids than it did at Chick-fila.

A recent arrival from their roots in Alabama, they bring a different and tasty spin to NC BBQ. The restaurant is spacious and bright, and the staff friendly and well-informed. The menu offers a good variety of options, so you're sure to find something for whatever hankering you have. Try it, you'll like it! read more

It's a very nice establishment, and the service was great. The food however left a lot to be desired. Even for Restaurant bbq this was sad. I've never had tough brisket until this plate. The Brisket was tough had little to no smoke ring, had zero bark on the ends and was cut the wrong direction. The pulled pork was mushy and bland The sausage was delicious on the inside but over cooked by a lot on the outside. Beans and coleslaw were nothing special. Just canned beans. The corn "biscuits " were the best part of the meal sadly. read more

Jim n Nicks is usually on point with anything I order, inside & drive thru. When ordering drive thru I usually only grab a dozen biscuits and 95% of the time they're hot and fresh but the last 3 times I've ordered them they've been pretty burnt to the point they're quite tough & inedible. I don't know if they're giving me the rejects or what but they definitely haven't been up to the standard I know they can achieve... read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile now but it was always pretty busy when I was in the area. Decided to order takeout. This loaded bbq potato was definitely loaded. It lacked flavor and didn't seem to have any seasoning on the meat. I would give them another try tho and order something different read more

Today, there was a long wait to be seated at Jim's N Nick's. Once seated, our server wasn't very good at providing service, to the point where another server came by, tood drink and food order even though she was not our server. She checked on us frequently, even bringing our appetizer and food while our server was dealing with other tables. Finally, our assigned server came by and said she was behind and couldn't take our order or deliver the food but she was very quick to bring us the check. I tipped the crappy server 5% and gave the server who actually gave us great attention a cash tip, thanking her for thinking of us, and taking care ofcthe situation, even though she didn't have any obligation to do so. read more

Completely trash no flavor bland no smoke flavor at all. Get better BBQ out of a bowl from the grocery store. Completed waste of $50. They need to close the doors of this is the trash they are selling WTF read more

The service was ridiculously poor. They were not so busy and the greeter could make a decision where we could sit. After ordering my food arrived before my drink and I was told that the bartender got backed up. Again, I say there were not that many patrons in the restaurant. The biscuits are no longer good. Not sure what happened, but they're not cooking them long enough. I guess. Maybe it's a different mix. We had to wait 10 minutes to flag down our server to be able to pay the bill so we could go home. read more

This place was so good! It did not disappoint, from the cheese biscuits and the white sauce on the wings I just couldn't leave without it, so we bought a bottle of white sauce and a bag of the cheese biscuit mix! Everything was delicious! Service was great and great atmosphere! Quite a bit of people there so you know it's good, especially when they have a drive thru!!! Highly recommend! read more

Our favorite barbecue place when we lived in Alabama, same experience at the Concord location. Cheese biscuits are incredible, too.

This place is just good. A particularly stressful situation compelled me to get takeout from Jim 'N Nick's because I knew the food would be amazing, great portions and I could eat it a couple days and the flavor would still be in tact. My absolute fav is the smoked turkey! And if I'm feeling adventurous I go for the smoked wings, yum! Boy was it ever! Since it's right off the highway, it was easy to grab quickly and the staff is friendly and fun to chat with! read more

Went for lunch for the first time. Our server was awesome. Complimentary cheese biscuits were fantastic. We all got BBQ sandwiches. The portion of meat included I thought was kinda small considering the price with only one small side. Still a nice place with adequate BBQ. The Mac and cheese side was really tasty as well. Figure for lunch about $25 per person with tip. Not the best BBQ in Charlotte but still a nice place to try. read more

The food was excellent. The server SOPHIA was awesome. She suggested the best menu items!!!! Great time
