Excellent service and great tasting food that always exceeds my high expectations!!! I usually get food to go and it's always ready when I arrive. read more

I have eaten here on several occasions at night. I appreciate that they are open later than other restaurants. The employees are generally polite and helpful - especially the people who bring the dishes to the table. The cheese muffins are to die for and I would recommend getting a dozen of them to take home! The turkey and pork are both tasty, although the sauce is not my favorite. It's a relaxed environment where I don't feel pressured to turn over the table too quickly. Bathrooms are very clean. I recommend it! read more

Food was incredible, service was friendly and efficient, very clean. Would highly recommend.

Being a fan of Jim 'N Nick's for years, it was great to see them recently open a new spot in the Avenue West Cobb on Dallas Highway! Visiting a friend in Acworth, we decided to make our down to grab lunch at the newly opened spot. The space is gorgeous and laid out well. Upon entry you are guided directly to the counter to order. To the left is the bar area with a few booths, to the right is the drink station and larger, more formal dining area. Then outside is a large, wrap around, covered, heated/cooled patio...and while I am normally not a patio person during summer months, those misting fans made it a perfect spot to enjoy the goods! Service was great from ordering to food runners to random staff checking in, one of which was the Manager. Everyone was friendly and helpful from entry to exit. Food was solid, nothing mind-blowing, but it was just what we ordered. I got a combo plate of turkey and cheddar-jalapeno sausage, because I can not come here and not get at least one link! The complimentary cheddar biscuits are a nice touch and always a great compliment to the food. There is a small portion of parking that is convenient and semi-dedicated to the restaurant, but it fills up quick with folks hitting the outlets. Either way, there is plentiful parking around the complex in full. Overall, Jim 'N Nick's is a solid spot and I enjoyed this location! Happy to come back when visiting the area again! read more

The pulled pork sandwich was barely warm, with some meat actually cold, and the beans were also lukewarm. The coleslaw and corn muffins were excellent and the only highlights. A manager did replace and ultimately comped my meal when the server was unavailable, but overall this was a disappointing experience. I would not recommend this spot for barbecue. The manager and server were both very kind - Ps. I really wanted to enjoy my meal, smh. read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Pulled Pork Sandwich with Beans & Slaw - pickles on the side. I ate the slaw and muffins :-( - Barbeque Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Absolutely the worst restaurant in Marietta! If there was ZERO star rating, that is what I would give! We had our order wrong every time we went. We haven't eaten there in a while because of it and decided to give it one more try. DISAPPOINTED YET AGAIN! Order wrong again. Will never order from here again and I will warn all my friends and neighbors. read more

So I've been to this restaurant three or four times and I'm giving it a two for several reasons. First of all, I despise the fact that they ask me for a tip in the drive-through. I mean, what are you doing now people? Do I have to start tipping at Kroger? At Publix? I find it greedy and outrageous. Secondly, I don't like that they come to the car and then they go "it's asking you a question" Instead of saying, we're trying to guilt you into tipping us. that's manipulative. I don't like the fact that you're giving me your dirty terminal and now I have to read and feel pressured to give you a tip and scan my own damn card. That's why I went through the drive-through. The other reason I'm giving them two stars is because the time I did not give a tip my pork was 50% fat and it looked like they poured grease in the container. When I do give a tip, my food is great. Is that a coincidence? I don't know, but I don't like it. And the girl at the drive-through told me that the owner's make them ask for a tip. In this divisive hateful time that we live in, to have someone come through a drive-through you look at their face press you to tip them BEFORE you get your food and then trust that they're gonna go in there and not do stuff to your food. It's just not cool. I don't appreciate the greedy owners under paying their people and then pressuring the customer to tip. PLUS you're charging me $18 for a meal in a drive-through. It's just disgusting and greedy. Shame on you. read more

Haven't had this in a while. This is the first time at this new location and it was really good. Had the brisket and got some turkey.

Stopped by Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q the other day around 5:45 PM for dinner. Right off the bat, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which set a good tone. This location operates as an "order at the counter and seat yourself" setup--but with a twist. We were told we couldn't sit down until our full party had arrived, which felt a bit restrictive, especially since there were plenty of open tables both indoor and out. The biggest disappointment of the visit: they were completely out of ribs and coleslaw --and this was before 6 PM! For a BBQ place, running out of one of your staple meats that early in the evening is pretty surprising and definitely put a damper on the experience. We ended up trying a few other items. The pulled pork sandwich was flavorful, but the portion was on the small side. Each meal comes with their signature cheesy bread, which was a nice touch, and you can order more on the side if you want (you probably will). The fried catfish was a pleasant surprise--crispy, well-seasoned, and not overly greasy. The Mac and cheese made for a great side dish. Overall, it's a decent spot with friendly service, but in a city with tons of great BBQ options, it's tough to stand out--especially when you're out of ribs by dinner time. read more

Good flavored marbled brisket sandwich. The fries were also good. Sat in the far right corner booth and the AC was kicking. The chips were the thick kind. Honey habanero wings had a good flavor. I thought they would be spicy but they were not. Onion rings were also good. They were the crunchy type. read more

The bar is full on the inside and they won't allow anyone to sit on the outside bar and open the windows. Why have it as an option. Asked a manager and they said no. Poor customer service. read more

This place just opened a month and it is always busy! We finally went tonight for dinner. We had a party of seven, and the staff helped us get a table with special attention to my elderly mother-in-law. I appreciated the staff's helpfulness and friendliness. The food arrived quickly and was fresh and hot. I got a quarter chicken which was very moist and tasty. My husband said his pulled pork and baked beans were very good. I will say I wasn't a fan of their barbecue sauce, but that's a personal thing. I did think the prices were a little high and the place is loud making it hard to hear normal conversation. But all around, we had a good dinner and an enjoyable evening. read more

We are in town visiting relatives. They told us about this great new BBQ place that just opened around the corner from them. We went for a late lunch. We walked in and the restaurant is really nice. It's got a nice decor with a lot of photos that looks like a history of Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q. You walk up to the counter to order your food and then you go take your seat to wait for your meal. I ordered the 3 meat combo meal. I paid an upcharge for the brisket and another upcharge for spareribs. My third choice was the jalapeño cheddar sausage. I really don't care for spareribs so I asked if I could get baby backs instead, the guy taking my order said he didn't know why but I couldn't swap the two ribs. As sides I got the beans and coleslaw. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich and she got one side which was the mac and cheese. When we sat down, the wait staff brought us some really good cheese corn muffins. When our food arrived, it was presented very nicely. First my wife's meal. She loved the mac and cheese. She also really liked the pulled pork. I tasted it and it was nice and tender with a nice smokey taste. As for my meal. The brisket, I wasn't thinking when I ordered I was asked if I wanted either lean or moist brisket. I got the lean. First, I had to wipe the bbq sauce off the meat. I typically don't like sauce on my bbq meats. If it's cooked right you don't need sauce on it. This is just my opinion. Because I got the lean brisket, it was cut very thin and it needed to be because it was dry. This explains why they sauce it right from the kitchen. The taste of the brisket was good but the next time I would get the moist meat. The spareribs were good, but again these were a little dry also. Now for the jalapeño cheddar sausage. This is a different story. This sausage was absolutely amazing! It was cooked perfectly. It was juicy with a nice amount of heat from the jalapeños and a really nice amount of cheese. I highly recommend the sausage. For my sides, you either like coleslaw or you don't. This was a more vinegar type coleslaw, but it was very good. The baked beans, these were just canned beans with maybe a little extra onion added and maybe a little bbq sauce added. They were just ok. As for their sauces, the regular house sauce was very weak and tasted like ketchup. Not very good. I also tried the Honey Habanero sauce and the Carolina Mustard sauce. Both of these were good. Again, this is my opinion on the sauce. I don't like sauce on my bbq, I just wanted to try them for the sake of my review. Jim 'N Nick's is worth stopping in and trying. I would definitely stop back for the sausage and to try the baby backs. read more

This location is a joke. Completely mismanaged. The owners need to fire the management and start over. They cannot anticipate their food needs for a Saturday dinner hour. Order and pay for one thing and then they bait and switch you into another because they are out of what you order. Of course, they don't tell you that until you have paid and are seated. Don't waste your money at this location. Go to Hiram instead. read more

Exterior Located in the very front / left of the Avenues shopping plaza - they are easy to find (former Chili's location). Lots of parking but they have been super busy so dependent upon day / time, you might struggle to find a super close, nearby parking space. Interior Clean. There's a bar upfront and they have those huge windows that swing up and out that a lot of barbecue restaurants are now using. Honestly, I don't find these windows practical because it makes it difficult to eat and keep flies off your food. In fact, I was only able to eat one my little mini corn muffins because a fly landed on the other one while I was eating the first one. And I know, I know ... multiple flies probably landed on muffin #1 well before it made it to my table - but just like I tell my brother, it's one thing if I don't KNOW what craziness happened to my food before it made to my table ... but if I see it - ARGH - I just can't do it - it's an appetite killer. Customer Service Ok ... so ... customer service was NOT great. You order with a cashier, then a team of food runners bring your food to your table. The cashier (young white male - did not get his name) was on his cell phone when I approached and he kept glancing at his phone while I was attempting to ask him questions / place my order. I arrived around 4 / 430pm on a weekday. I thought I was gonna beat the crowds / dinner rush. During my ordering process, I was the only person in line, but the parking lot was full and the place was pretty busy. Once I placed my order, I had questions about other items (I was contemplating ordering a rib plate for J) and pretty much every question I asked was met with a "I don't know. Do you want me to try to find out?" Um. Yes. I would LOVE for you to try to get an answer to the question I asked. More on this below. Price / Value Sadly ... also have to say I wasn't bowled over by my food. I ordered Mr. Jim's Combo plate - 2 meats and 2 sides. I opted for brisket, chicken, collard greens and french fries. I went with fries because wasn't thrilled about the side options (they call them trimmings). The mac n cheese is the 'creamy' aka soupy / Velveeta style mac n cheese and I prefer the firmer, casserole style. I don't eat potato salad or baked beans and I can't have corn, so aside from greens, my only options were french fries or coleslaw. Lol. My fries arrived to the table cold. My brisket was room temp and a tough. My collard greens were just slightly above room temp and bland. My chicken was a combination of white and dark meat. I don't love the taste of dark meat, and had no idea (menu doesn't say and cashier didn't ask my preference. When I managed to snag one of the food runners to inquire, they said they didn't know whether or not I could request white meat only. A manager came over and he said I could, but that I should have indicated this preference during ordering process. I apologized and explained that I didn't know. He took it away and had another portion of white meat only sent out. He also replaced my cold fries with an order of coleslaw. During our conversation, he expressed surprise when I told him I'd never dined at a barbecue restaurant that didn't have an option of lean or fatty - when it comes to brisket. (I asked because I admit I was convinced that the cashier had informed me incorrectly during the ordering process. Lol.) While I don't love barbecue sauce per se, I absolutely love smoked and grilled foods - so I typically eat at barbecue restaurants 1 - 2 times per month (if I'm lucky) and I'm not exaggerating when I say I have NEVER encountered a restaurant that ONLY has lean as an option. The manager who eventually came over to my table was rushed, clearly a little overwhelmed, but polite and did his best to take care of me. He even offered to get another order of greens but since I'd decided to just box everything up and leave, I declined and heated them up later. Overall Overall, I enjoyed the white meat pulled chicken. I know they don't microwave anything - and that's great - but I definitely think they have some growing pains / bugs to work out over the next few months. Staff should be better trained on menu / offerings and they'll figure out how to get food to the tables at appropriate temps. I will check back in 6 months - or more to see if things go better. read more

We've been waiting for Jim 'N Nick's to open in the old Chili's location. It opened on Wednesday and we decided to give it a try, this evening. As expected there was a large crowd. That's expected for a new restaurant and on a Friday night. But even while waiting, there were hostesses available to answer questions and the wait was efficient and the staff was welcoming. The quick-moving line, helpful hostesses, and friendly team set the tone for a positive visit. We chose--catfish and the Pulled Chicken BBQ Sandwich. They hit the mark, and the fresh sides and addictive cheese muffins really elevate the experience. The fact that there were no hiccups, especially in a brand-new restaurant, speaks volumes about their preparation and attention to detail. I have to recognize that every person that was working the restaurant was kind and attentive. They really took things to the next level. I look forward to trying some of the specialty cocktails, once the liquor license kicks in. Jim 'N Nick's West Cobb is off to a great start. I can easily see making this a regular spot. read more

Ribs were terrible. Fatty, grizzly, sauce mediocre. Pick up was a bit haphazard. Apparently BB ribs are offered but not mentioned on the ordering site. read more

We are regulars at this place and we love it. We have never had a bad experience and the food is very good. Some of our favorites include the quarter chicken meal, the sausage nachos, the pulled pork, and all the sides. Sweet tea and banana pudding make it all complete. It's always clean. It's always consistent in the flavor of the food. The management team runs a tight ship which plays out positively in all aspects for customers. The employees also seem glad to be there. It's our go to spot for holiday meals also. We are fans! read more

This visit was lack luster. The food was good, but the potato was hotter than the pork. No one really acknowledged us when we came in. I had to wait a bit for the two people at the register to finish their conversation, again, no initial acknowledgment. It felt awkward to interrupt them. I left my Mom at the front, as she uses a walker. No one greeted her. Someone brought our food to the table and asked if everything looked good. And that was it. I went to the counter for to go boxes. On our way out I snagged a bag from the server station. It felt like "stealing". If the restaurant was busy, that would be a little understandable. It was not. I could see at least six people stationed on the floor, plus the one girl who brought our food. Staff members walked by a few times, but we were invisible. The main dish was cool, the experience was cold. read more

I have to wait 30 mins for cold meat and those cheese things they give u are butt this is as bad as Fortnite

I love the food at this place. I've been here many times and will continue to come back many times in the future.

There was A LOT of food especially the ribs. It was well seasoned and came hot that's a plus. I definitely will buy again

The food was great! The service was top notch! They couldn't have made it any better! They seem to Really be trying hard.

Good food, friendly service and nice atmosphere. I've had better food but this pretty good too

Don't order the Southern Salad with Smoked Chicken unless you really like that smoky flavor and fake bacon. Barely edible. We also got the Pork Plate, which from all accounts, my dining partner said was very good. The bill was $60 including tip for a meal that was not worth that price. But one shouldn't expect much when you order a salad at a barbecue restaurant. On a lighter note, the staff was very friendly, although not very versed as of yet on what the menu contains but the restaurant just opened so one must give them a break. The best thing about this whole experience is that they will have a full bar starting on January 6 that should give anyone looking for relief from ordering the wrong food or bad food. A cocktail will help ease the pain. read more

Service terrible. After waiting for our food at the table, realized it was not coming out as fast as the others. They checked on our food and was told that it was accidentally deleted.

I've been a Dave Poe's fan for many years. They're just a little too far for me to drive however. So I was happy when we got a BBQ restaurant in West Cobb. They went big. They set up in the high-priced Avenues on Dallas Hwy. I've seen restaurants come and go by putting their best foot forward with a ridiculously good staff just to see that staff move on to other new stores and leave mediocrity in their wake. That doesn't look like the case with Jim 'N Nick's. The menu is so solid. I started with the basics, coleslaw, corn on the cob and ribs. Oh, and I threw in a few deviled eggs. I ate at the bar and Kayla (she's adorable) served me a couple of John Dalys. I was in heaven. I'm so happy to have an honest BBQ out here in West Cobb. I should have taken pictures. They have a large variety of sauces. I'm a fan of the Carolina vinegar style, but they pretty much cover the bases. Tell me another BBQ restaurant that has corn on the cob. It seems rare these days, but theirs is the absolute best. Kudos! read more

Great food. Fast service. The ribs and brisket are my favorite. They have a drive thru too!

Absolutely ridiculous menu process. All meat plates come with 2 sides, which I can't eat on my diet, however they can't substitute for a $4.99 order of deviled eggs? The individual sides are way more expensive each. For $58 in food for 2 people they could make it work. How stupid!! read more

Very poor service. Wait staff was very rude. Food quality is very inconsistent. Do not recommend
