Came for dinner on a Friday night around 6:30pm. We were seated right away. The restaurant is quite spacious - there were a good number of other tables eating around that time. You are greeted with a nice warm basket of muffins. They are a little cheesy and remind me of a mix of corn bread and regular muffins. We ordered the brisket and spare ribs. Brisket has an option of fatty marbled or lean - we got fatty but it was more a layer of fat than a nice marbling. The meat was a bit tough but not inedible. I do wish it was more marbled and flavorful. It definitely needed the bbq sauce. The spare ribs were quite good. They were big and meaty with different sections of fatty and chewier lean on each rib. The marinade they use for cooking is notably on the sweeter side. The ribs did not need extra bbq sauce in my opinion. The sides were just okay to me: Mac n cheese - nice and creamy but the real tasty cheese flavor was only in the melty cheese globs. Collard greens - good flavor but definitely on the salty side. Lots of meat in this side. Baked beans - your average sweet baked beans, tasty! Side salad - upgrade for $2 - portion was reasonable for price. I was disappointed by the dressing i selected, the vinaigrette. It was mostly oil and little vinegar leading to a very light and unnoticeable flavor. I added more to get more flavor and ultimately ended up with oily leaves... Bonus points for the nugget ice! My favorite :) read more

Friday night I was famished and went to Jim 'N Nick's for BBQ. As usual, they ran out of brisket and baby backs which is fine because they are best sellers. So I got the ribs... THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! Unfortunately, I didn't find out until I got home. I will say that the potato salad and collard greens sides were really good. However, the main player (ribs) was TOUGH and could have been cooked longer. I spit out my bite and called it quits... COME ON FOLKS, NOT REST ON YOUR PRIOR REPUTATION! You should work for excellence on every meal. Unfortunately, I probably will not be back. read more

I absolutely love this place. I always order the same thing when I come. I get the ribs,mac and cheese, with beans. The only thing I am kind of dissatisfied about with is how overpriced it is. I personally think you get enough food for the price. This place is definitely worth a try if you are in the area and want some good bbq. read more

Jim N Nick's has always been pretty reliable when it comes to BBQ. The interior is pretty standard. We set at the bar and got served right away. This time I ordered ribs with greens and fries. Also a side of smoked wings and we can't forget about those muffins. The food was good and the portion size was big. Overall this place is pretty reliable. Especially when I don't feel like firing the grill up. read more

Was jonesing for some ribs so we decided to check out Jim 'N Nicks. Walking in, the smell of Bbq wafted through the air and I was pretty excited. That feeling was short lived because once I received my order I was disappointed with the quality of the food. My spareribs were undercooked, gelatinous and flavorless. The sides weren't any better. The only decent thing we ate were their cheddar biscuits. If you're looking for a top notch bbq place, Jim 'N Nicks is not for you. read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Barbeque Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

I am a longtime customer of Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q, and today's experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered a three-meat combo with wings and paid for my meal, only to be told afterward that wings could not be included in the combo. I was already prepared to purchase the wings separately if necessary, so that was not the issue. The problem was the way Karina, the manager, handled the situation. Instead of resolving a simple customer service matter with courtesy and professionalism, she kept repeating the same explanation even after I asked her not to continue. When it became clear that I was frustrated, she threw her hands up and walked away in a dismissive, childish manner. I have been a loyal customer for a long time, and I spent $90 here today expecting respectful service. Instead, I was met with rudeness, attitude, and an insulting tone. There is a way to speak to customers, and there is also a way not to insult them, even when the answer is no. I want the corporate office to know about this experience, and I expect contact from them. I have much more to say about how this was handled. read more

The service is great, overall the food is decent ... but be mindful. The brisket is tough, not flavored well. The bar, while a nice add, is slow to serve. read more

Food was very good and well seasoned. The portions were great and plenty for taking home extras. The only bad thing was that the waitstaff was not very prompt or attentive. At the end of the meal she even had the audacity to keep what she thought was "her change" for the tip. Never in my life have I had that happen! The dinning area was very dark and almost too dark to read and find the menus. read more

From the time we walked in, we were greeted with a smile. Staff was amazing . Our server was 10/10 . Her name is Selena . The staff were loud and that's great cause they were happy and enjoying there job .. I rather have upbeat and laughing with great vibes over quiet any day read more

Went for lunch. I had the lean chopped brisket sandwich, and turnip greens. It was very tasty and well prepared. Service was friendly and prompt. The cheese bread was incredible. I've been here before and will be back again. Very solid place for barbecue and a great atmosphere and decor for dining. read more

I go there often, I love this place. The last time i went ,I ordered baby back ribs. They were terrible! I haven't had any overcooked ribs before. they were terribly dry. They were inedible. I spent 25.00 dollars for this meal and was sorely disappointed. I was tired from work and I wanted to return the whole meal. I did not because , I would have had to drive all the way back to complain. I just might not return for another meal because of the price I paid. read more

I had a pork sandwich, French fries. It was great. My wife had baby back ribs. They were not good. They replaced them with spare ribs. They were better. But not great. Unfortunately service was bad. Took awhile to get someone to take our order. Then when we were done had to go find someone to get our ticket. It was not busy. 5pm. A year ago I gave yall a 5 star. ​​ read more

My experience here was great! I ordered the brisket It was flavorful all on its own. I don't have words to describe their barbecue sauce. Just make sure you get them. Tje cheese biscuits were amazing. The ribs were good also. The wings are great and the're not the pigeon sized wings that you find at the pizzeria either. They are nice and big not mention very flavorful. It's not McDonald's prices but it's not crazy either. I almost forgot. The staff was friendly as well. Overall, I will definitely go back. Update: I need to change my rating from 5 stars down to two due to inconsistencies in food quality. I originally rated it 5 Stars because I was impressed with just about everything I purchased. So much so, I decided to buy it again the next day. First of all, I gloated about how great the wings were. I went back the next day, and they were tiny as hell and very salty! My food was near cold and I live close by. I said the barbecue was amazing yesterday. When I bought the food today, the barbecue sauce seemed like it was watered down. They almost had a customer for life. It's too expensive for this level of disappointment. So, I don't think I will be going back. read more

First off, the menu that Yelp shows is not what the restaurant offers. The restaurant menu is much cheaper! I had their really good deviled eggs and the smoked chicken wings. Both were excellent! It was lunchtime, but parking, getting a table, and getting the food out in a reasonable time was no issue at all. I highly recommend this place! read more

Edited to add - We were the ONLY customers on the patio!! She was not barking constantly or disturbing other patrons. I went specifically to this restaurant because it claims to have a dog friendly patio. I took my dog with me for her birthday. We sat away from the other tables in the corner because I know she barks at strangers. She was tied to the fence and I had her leash. She has never hurt anyone but does bark when people approach. I told the waitress that we waited a while for initially that she has stranger danger and barks at stranger but I have her. She took our drink orders and brought drinks and biscuits but practically threw the stuff on the table. She did not take our order. She disappeared for at least 15 minutes with nobody coming out to help us at all. I could tell she was scared of dogs. I was calling the restaurant to place our order when an employee walked out back. I requested a manager. I spoke to the person who I'm guessing was the manager and let her know the situation. She said okay I'll get her. I told her we could just give her our order. She took it on a napkin but proceeded to tell me that a barking dog is not allowed on the patio per Gwinnett county. Is a screaming kid or is that considered a nuisance and not allowed. Nobody walking by had complained. I told her we would happily leave. I do not want to stay anywhere I'm not welcome despite the sign saying dog patio outside only. There was a list of rules and no where does it say your dog cannot bark. I frequent this business often because I live a mile away, but they lost my business today! I will make sure everyone is aware of the poor customer service me, my friend and my dog received today. The waitress actually came and apologized that she is scared and said nobody that worked there was willing to take care of us because my dog would bark at them. Unacceptable!!!! Take down your sign and do not allow dogs if everyone is scared! read more

Food is always awesome! Services always great; although due to my back issues I wanted to sit in a booth instead of a hard chair and the hostess had an attitude about it. She said it was for bigger groups and not just for two. We did get a booth though. I will still come back. We visited on 03-14-26. Maybe just a bad night for hostess. read more

We came here for Al-Hijra lunch. Hostess seated us quickly. The ambiance for the chain is low key with people from different walks of life. The temperature was set to cold but comfy on a hot day. We got spare ribs which were fanifico! Meaty and flavorful these would make Myron Mixon proud if he served them at his place. The baked beans were good albeit a tad too much brown sugar in them. The fries were also good. It had been a long time since we had been here but I must say they still offer a lot of quality "Q" for the buck! read more

The service here is always great! Everyone has been warm and friendly, and my last three visits have been very pleasant. The food has been on point, though the potato salad was a little watery and overly creamy today. My waitress was super sweet, loved her. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place has really changed since I last posted (and not for the better) First, the name. Bar-B-Q is not "smoked". There is a huge difference. My brisket may have Bar-B-Q'd but it sure wasn't smoked any time in recent history. I had take-out from there on a Sunday. My meal was sliced "12-hour smoked brisket" with french fries and collard greens. The thing about take-out is that you can't see it, taste it or smell it (I might have smelled it if it had been smoked) until you get home. My brisket was cold, tough, dry and had no smell. If I have time, I smoke a lot of meat so I know smoked meat. It's hard to tell how they cooked it, but I am calling them out on this being "smoked". It wasn't cooked within the last few days. If it's more than a few days old it becomes old, tough and dried out. They think you want notice it if you put some of their volcanic hot BBQ sauce on it (it is hotter wasabi). My first side was collard greens. They tasted flat. No "pop" to them, also very little seasoning. My second side was french fries. Cold and limp. Not the way I like my fries. If I had to rate this meal on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 2. Only because of the 2 corn muffins they included. Yet they too lacked seasoning and were very soft. I put a little of my homemade hot sauce on the and they were decedent. Would I go back? I will drive by in a couple of months just to see if they have any real smoked meat and have improved the other items on their menu. OK, I drove by a few months later. I think they must pipe in a barbecue smell. The place has gotten worse rather than better. I had to try the brisket. BONE DRY, AGAIN with what tasted like a little Walmart barbecue sauce thrown on it. To say it was decent would be charitable. I took a taste then threw the entire meal in the trash at the restaurant. I will never ever be back. My french fries were soggy. My Texas toast was soggy. I was served by kids who clearly did not want to be there and management who did not know how to manage. What a shame. I didn't think I would ever say this, but I'm going to have to go to Sonny's. I know I know it's a mass chain, but it has a whole lot more barbecue taste appearance, ambience, and service.. read more

Mmmmmm so good! Alex was so awesome in her service even though she was new and busy. All of the food was so good and the sweet as well as the white sauces both complemented the meat tremendously. read more

This was my second time at this location and it was much different than the first [I just realized the review is still in my draft]. The hostess was slightly detached and going through the motions. We gave her a compliment and I assumed she didn't hear it, so I repeated the compliment again while making eye contact and she ignored me. It was definitely an odd exchange to say the least. Lol Our server Grace was Johnny on the spot. She was sweet and attentive and extremely apologetic when I found a blonde beard hair (with follicle) in my honey butter. I was expecting a manager to approach us to rectify the stomach turning inconvenience, but nothing was done. I didn't press the matter or ask to speak to anyone either. I got the chopped salad with chicken. It was pretty good and the portion is huge! The Bloody Mary was tasty. Just enough alcohol and you can NEVER go wrong with Zing Zang mix. All in all, things happen, no place is perfect. I wouldn't say don't go there, I just know it won't be a location I will visit for a while. read more

Selena Was an amazing sever! She was always ten steps ahead of us! AMAZING food and service.

Ordered to-go because I was finally on a side of town that had a location. I had the brisket sandwich and mac-n-cheese. The bbq quality has gone down immensely. The brisket was under seasoned and had little to no Smokey flavor. I could overlook this as it could've been an off day but what I can't overlook is drain flies in my soda. I didn't know this until I had drank all the soda and was eating the ice and saw this at the bottom of the cup. Very disgusting and definitely unsanitary. Good luck to anyone that eats there in the future. I, however, will not be back. read more

I really don't even want to have to do this... maybe it's just the location but the experience I had here was not a good experience at all!! I called before I got there to make sure they had the items we wanted to order because my girlfriend doesn't eat pork so I just wanted to make sure they had chicken... they had what we wanted so we came in to order... we ordered and when we got our food, of course we pulled the containers out and the chicken on her plate looked like half of a serving but the kicker is, she ordered double chicken... I asked the young ladies at the takeout counter if that was considered double and they said it was... so I proceeded to ask for the manager... she greeted me and was very nice and also told me that in fact it was not double serving... she went to the kitchen and did rectify the situation... cool... We get the food home and I was just extremely disappointed!!! There was NOOOOOOOOOO seasoning at all on the 'bbq corn on the cob' they didn't even attempt to put the bbq seasoning on it... the beans were ok... the baked potato was good... the chicken didn't even look like it was pulled at all... just cut up and put in the container... it was dry and unseasoned!! I got the spare ribs but the ribs were over cooked and was just rubbery ‍‍‍‍ The bbq sauce, both of the ones I was given, one brown and one white tasted like vinegar with a little seasoning but I just used the bbq I had in my fridge... The cornbread muffins were amazing!! Probably the best part of the meal.. needless to say I will never come back to this location... I had my hopes up and I really wanted those ribs!!! read more

This is a restaurant that our family normally enjoys; however, this past Sunday we had an abysmal experience. We have four little boys with special needs; two are in wheelchairs. After we unloaded all of our children, we were told that they could only sit us at a table near the door. It was very cold and windy. We asked to not sit at the door. There was another table away from the door but they would not offer this to us. The attitude of the host and manager was lousy and very insensitive. Our family will not return. read more

I've never been to the restaurant, but I have ordered online and eaten at home. I love the baked potatoes and the chicken tenders. The mini muffins are addictive. I've eaten at this location and the one in Cumming. The one in Cumming offers fried okra, but this location does not which on a few occasions has caused me to pick a different place just because I wanted fried okra lol. read more

Wow!! Delicious food and amazing customer service. This location prepared my Christmas dinner and it was so good. I eat here often and they have great food selections and a hard working staff. Jason, the General manager is amazing. read more

I had the brisket sandwich (marbled sliced) with mac n cheese and added the baked beans. The sandwich and mac n cheese and bbq sauce were amazing. They bring you cheesey corn bread before the meal. I saved it for when i had bbq sauce to dunk it in. Chefs kiss. Bbq beans were very good. My suggestion for improving them is to replace the onions they use in them with vidalia. Angela at the bar was very attentive and on her game while covering the bar and multiple tables. Highly recommend. read more

This is for all the "differently abled" persons and accessibility: By the way - just the two grands (children) and me at lunch - so nobody else to help me... I use a walker (so I can walk - I risk falls without it and my legs aren't very strong due to progressed and aggressive PsA). I have my walker by my seat at lunch today. Servers and the hostess start moving around tables to fit a large group next to us. The hostess tries to take my walker UP TO THE HOSTESS STAND so it's "out of the way" (of them rearranging furniture - it wasn't "in the way" before). Excuse me? And how was she proposing I walk to go get it? Was I waiting for someone to bring it to me? What? NOTE: Don't EVER touch a handicapped person's mobility device. Needless to say, I wasn't very polite to her...and my walker stayed with me...I guess that is why we didn't get any refills with our meal and the waitress only checked up on us when it was time for the check! Food was quick and good but - Service? Not so much. And, please do better when it comes to the differently abled! read more

After reading the mixed reviews, we decided to try it anyway. The restaurant is clean and organized. Music is Country, and just about the right volume; not too loud, not too quiet. Our server's name is "Heavenly". She was attentive, and friendly. Wife and I both ordered combo smoked turkey and brisket. She likes her brisket chopped, I like mine sliced. Sides were coleslaw and potato salad. Her plate arrived, and turkey was chopped and brisket sliced. My sides were on her plate. My food was prepared properly. Getting good help isn't easy these day I suppose. Nonetheless, the food was delicious. Portions were smaller than I expected, given the price. Despite some shortcomings, I'd return for the food. read more

Thank you for an amazing experience! I'm from San Diego CA. I was in my motel hungry and ordered from here TWICE within 3 days thats how delicious the food is! Then the second time when I went inside to get up my food Ms. Brittini took my order and was so professional and sweet! She made sure she gave me suggestions and I even got a few upgrades from her. The pulled pork with the bbq sauce is bomb! The brisket is tender and tasty af!! I will come back EVERY time I come to Duluth!! Thanks again for such great service and a warm smile Ms. Brittini!

Good to know we have a solid bbq spot so close to home. I liked their bbq chicken sandwich. I got one side which was potato salad. Both had good flavor and I'm usually not the biggest bbq fan. Liked their bbq sauce and the white sauce. Def complimented the sandwich well. Hubby got the brisket and he said it was kinda hard. He wouldn't get it again and try something else. The platter came with 2 sides and we did a double Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is soooo good! Also got half a dozen cheese biscuits that were like small muffins. They were soft and fluffy. I called in the order and everything was packed right and ready on time. Seems to be a more efficient process since the drive through lines seem long at times. read more

First, I must say the onion rings, chili brisket and little cheese biscuits were great. I ordered for Christmas Dinner and could only make a few sides since Foot surgery. We also ordered 2 lbs of lean brisket and 3 lbs. of spare ribs. First of all, our brisket was 25% fat, not lean at all. I HATE FAT! On a lean diet, ordered lean! Wondering if the packers were pissed I gave less than a 15% tip to package my food for Christmas (Not paying full tip if I'm not being waited on with drinks, etc., and clean up and all). Secondly, the ribs were NOT spare ribs! They were giant voluptuously fat ribs with lots of those horizontal little bones throughout and very dry and over-cooked, hard to rip apart the top coat! I've never had bad ribs here, but they were awful! The Packer/Servers definitely didn't like me when they packed those crappy ribs in a container! Currently Texas Roadhouse puts their ribs to shame! VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED. Needless to say our guests did not enjoy Christmas Dinner. They don't have a way on the ordering to contact and leave a review. Here was my order number if they want to contact me -- it was Christmas pickup 12/24 at 1:00: #31911914644717570. Only 1 photo to attach. Didn't think of taking photos at time of serving or after. Brisket left, spare ribs right. Just what's left 4 days later, as feeding to dogs piece by piece. At least they enjoy it. read more

Ordered online. All food was good. Everything was in bag. I asked for extra BBQ sauce when I went in and was helped promptly.

I've always liked Jim and nicks whenever I came back home to visit my parents. Solid barbecue options. We got a takeout order this time, to bring some back for my dad. Pros: - Plates are good to share, nice amount. This makes it easy to also try different things on the menu. - Meat was not dry, and a nice balance of meat to sauce ratio as well. - They're biscuits are really really good. I used to eat a ton of them before I moved out of Georgia, and these are definitely a comfort food for me. Cons: - Barbecue is OK for takeout, but you don't wanna wait too long. I would say the most that you should go for takeout barbecue is maybe 15 minutes. Reheating in a microwave makes the meat dry. Definitely would come back to Jim and nicks. It was a staple back in my Georgia days, and it'll be a staple when I come back to visit Georgia. read more
