    Brisket sandwich, macaroni and cheese, and jalapeno cheddar sausage
    Cashea S.

    We love some good BBQ and while we aren't in Memphis often not do we stray from Mission BBQ often, Jim N Nicks is always a win. The cheddar biscuits are life. We love the fresh hot biscuits and the honey butter. We ordered the brisket sandwich (moist) as well as the pulled pork nachos and an extra cheddar jalapeno sausage for $3 extra. The sausage link is worth every penny. It was cheesy and spicy and cooked perfectly. The nachos were filled to the brim with chips and had a great chips to topping ratio. It even came with extra queso! We are the nachos and took the sandwich and sausage home where it reheated great. I am going to have to eat here more often because it is really good and not overly priced. Our whole meal was $26. The server was busy, but on top of it and friendly. We weren't in a rush so we had no problem waiting for her to take orders in between getting a to go box and waters. The restaurant was clean. The bathrooms, not so much. Overall, we will come back if in the area!

    My god I need to find me more Memphis BBQ like this. The Brisket was so tender and jucy and flavorful. It melted i to your mouth and punched it. The pulled pork had their house sause on it which was smooth with a little spice. The smoked turkey had a white sause with it that made it next level. I am not sure what was in it but it had a pepper kick that made me wish I had a drink of it while I had to eat some potato salad to clear the heat. And the best collard greens I have ever had. I will find Jim 'N Nick next time I am in town

    This TX boy wanted some Memphis BBQ as we were traveling through so we stopped in at Jim 'N Nicks BarBQ and they delivered!! The meats (brisket, pulled pork, and sausage), the sauces, hamburger, loaded potato, and nachos were all damn good! The service was great too. I recommend it and if I'm back in Memphis I'll be back for round 2!

    Jim 'N Nicks catered our wedding nearly 10 years ago, and has always been a favorite of ours. We've noticed that some locations have gone downhill and converted their service style, but we were delighted that this location still functions like the OG ones! Full table service, complementary cheddar biscuits hot from the oven with honey butter. We had a phenomenal experience. I love their pulled chicken and brisket options, and their sides like Mac n cheese. The peach sweet tea is also amazing. I love when you eat a meal out and actually feel good about the money you spent on it LOL - and this was a meal that did not feel like a regretful use of our hard-earned dollars. So delicious, kind service, great quality.

    Honey butter, cheese  biscuits yummy .

    Memphis is known for their BBQ so was told this is a good place to go for good bbq and southern side. The atmosphere and decor was lovely clean and family friendly, was seated right away the hostess was very polite service was great, food was ribs were tender and meaty, peas was made like I would have done, coleslaw was good delivered fast but hot The Food was very good. I highly recommend

    Yum food still good second time around catfish plate came with two sides trying this time trying the Jim and Nick greens trying the Jim Nick corner on the cob and I do believe there biscuit is not a biscuit is actually I think it's a corn muffin. It might be a cheese muffin a cheese muffin the barbecue sandwich plate that comes with the catfish as well. And I like to have such flavor in the french fries flavor for french fries for you or for your little one and I totally forgot about the banana pudding y'all but yeah banana pudding

    The spare ribs were so good,

At the time I didn't know it was a chain , but I found out later. Sometimes that's not a bad thing though. I found the restaurant was decorated nicely and clean. My waitress was very nice and informative since I told her it was my first time here. I got a Half Rack of Ribs with Wet Sauce on one side and Dry Rub on the other side. Bbq Baked Beans , Cheese Grits , Rolls , and Sweet Tea. The Ribs were tender and good. They have 2 Bbq Sauces on the table and I asked the waitress if they have any others and she said yes , a Honey and a Smoky Spicy one. I asked for the Smoky Spicy to try. I liked the Dry Rub side better and with the Smoky Spicy Bbq Sauce on the Dry Rub was the Winner. The Wet Side was Original Bbq Sauce and it was kind of plain to me. They also had this on the table with a Hot Bbq Sauce that was more or less like Texas Pete / Louisiana Hot Sauce. The Bbq Baked Beans were really good. The waitress said they are the best in town and I would probably agree even though I haven't been to any other bbq place in the Memphis area. The Cheese Grits were okay. They used like a White Cheese I think. I love Grits , but they could've did a little better on these. The Rolls were like yeast rolls like Texas Roadhouse , but better , melt in your mouth and you don't even need to put any butter on them. Sweet Tea was just right , not too sweet or not enough sugar. They had a display of their desserts , which looked good , but I was too full to have any. There is also a Bar if you want to have a drink and some appetizers. A wall with lots of pictures of Celebrities who have dined at Corky's is on display. Elvis and Little Richard are sitting at a table above the dining area watching to see how you like the Bbq. They sell shirts and sauces if you want to take some home. The menu is pretty large , so lots of choices for you to try. There is also an upstairs area for dining. If I lived here or was visiting for a while I would come back and try more. I usually prefer a more Mom and Pop place , but this was very good , much better than the Bbq I've had in Oklahoma.

    For some reason, I had been craving (Disclaimer: NOT pregnant) BBQ ribs for a couple of weeks…read more Another disclaimer: I find myself, as I'm getting seasoned, not wanting to eat as much meat as I used to. For some, this is a bad thing, and for some it's a good thing; it just depends on what floats your boat. Nevertheless, lest I digress. After some research, I found this place while traveling in Memphis, TN, called Corky's Ribs and BBQ. So, I invited two colleagues with me and went. Let me say that, truly, it was worth the wait for me. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs with coleslaw, baked beans, and a side of Twice-Baked Potato Salad. The waitress asked me how I wanted them: dry-rubbed, wet, or muddy. I was looking at her like she had three heads, and she explained what each meant. So, I went on the wild side (no judgment) and asked for muddy. My colleagues all ordered the same, and one ordered some Pork Burnt Ends , which were to die for. Ladies and gentlemen, or should I say, "folks," you're talking about some good eating in that place. As much as I wanted to eat all of it in this sitting, it would have been a sin and shame to eat all that food in one sitting. So, I did that ladylike thing and ate half, boxed up the rest to eat for dinner the next day, and called it a day. But wait, she brought out the rolls, which were still in the oven cooking as we were eating. Corkey, you know you are so wrong (in a good way), bringing out delicious rolls like that; are you kidding me? If you are in Memphis, TN, or passing through, check them out. The hospitality and atmosphere were wonderful. BTW, I heard our waitress reading off the dessert menu to a couple next to us, and I asked for my check quickly so I would not be tempted to order some or take it to go.

They both seemed sincerely apologetic and eager to make the situation right for me. In all of their help, neither asked me to remove or change anything about my review. This says to me they truly care about the customer experience. They displayed the type of concern I had hoped for in the beginning. Mistakes happen, so I'm absolutely open to giving this restaurant another chance. The quick resolution did not go unnoticed. Thanks so much ! I purchased a feast for work on December 23, 2025, which was advertised to feed 8-10 people. I picked up the order around 4:30 p.m. Since I work nights, we didn't open the bags until later. Once everything was laid out, I realized a double order of pulled pork was missing. I called the restaurant at 9:48 p.m. to report the issue. After explaining the situation, the associate who answered placed me on hold, which was concerning since the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. When she returned, I had to explain the issue again before being transferred to a manager. The manager, whose name I unfortunately don't recall, was very kind and attentive. He acknowledged the mistake immediately and stated that he would issue a refund for the missing items. He also collected my personal information and said he would be sending a gift card for the inconvenience. To date, I have received neither the refund nor the gift card, and I haven't received any follow-up from the restaurant. While the food itself was pretty good, the lack of follow-through in customer service makes me hesitant to patronize this business again. For future reference: under-promise and over-deliver.
