My parents and my Mom's childhood friend were passing through Bham and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. Of course my Dad wanted Jim N Nick's or Full Moon so he could get "fat and full" and they could continue on their way. Michelle was wonderful. You could tell they had a long and busy day. She was still present, helpful, upbeat. We arrived a little bit over an hour before close so a few items we ordered were unavailable. This wasn't a big issue. We just ordered something else. All of the food came out satisfactory with an exception of the kitchen forgetting the onion ring appetizer which I opted to just not have made anymore. read more

Cheese biscuits- yummy. Nachos - very different than Calmex nachos. Onion rings - it was ok. Devil eggs - good but on the sweet side. Chilli - not bad. On the salty side. BBQ Brisket - was ok. Too dried We asked for super moist but got some super fatty pieces instead. Spare Ribs - really good flavor but on the dried side and not as tender. BBQ chicken- really good flavor but on the dried side. Sides were pretty good. Loved the collard greens. read more

This is my FAV BBQ place! I get the same thing every time which is the smoked turkey salad! You don't even have to be a salad eater to LOVE their salads. The turkey is smoked to perfection, the croutons are soft and salty, the bacon is super thick and crunchy, and the cheese is grated super thick! Did I mention they give you 3 dressing cups? So generous for $12.00 salad in my opinion. The greystone location is my favorite location by far. The renovations feel much more open and homey feel. The staff are always welcoming and service is FAST! Please visit this location if you are craving some local bbq! read more

We had come to this location for years and had all but given up because the service had gone down. After the remodel, we decided to come back and give it a shot because we've always loved Jim and Nicks. We've had Mallory as our waitress twice now, and let me tell you -- she's officially earned the title "Beyoncé of Barbecue." Last time she was great, but this time she came out headlining the whole brisket tour. The confidence, the timing, the sauce-to-smile ratio -- perfection. She's got that rare gift of making you feel like you're both in a five-star restaurant and your grandma's kitchen at the same time. Drinks never empty, ribs never lonely, and sides delivered with Grammy-level flair. At this point, we don't even check the waitlist -- we just ask, "Is Mallory working tonight?" Because if she is, we know we're about to have a meal worth writing a song about. They say "you can't hurry good barbecue -- it takes time." Well, apparently, the same goes for great servers, because Mallory just keeps getting better with every visit. Long live the Queen of Que. read more

Jim N Nick's provided us with a very yummy rehearsal dinner! They arrived early and had everything set up within a brief amount of time. The set-up person was friendly and very good at her job! Hot foods were hot, cold foods were cold. Our 80 guests raved about the bar-b-que, mac and cheese, and the banana pudding! Tea, cheese biscuits, all paper products and plastic cutlery came with the meal. The office catering staff were very helpful and professional! We had guests with food allergies, vegetarian/vegan, and gluten free. Sunny and Danielle in the office helped us figure out what foods would work with our variety of guests. We (and the guests) were all very happy knowing they would be able to eat freely and comfortably. The prices were very reasonable. The Jim N Nick's website is easy to navigate through, and we were able to have a lot of information about foods and costs before we even spoke with the catering department. I highly recommend Jim N Nick's for your event! read more

So we have been supporting this location through Covid and the insane prices ordering $100.00 meals everytime we went. So recently it seems that this location has changed and the food has not been at times edible. The brisket we ordered was very heavy on the rub making my wife unwell. So we called and they replaced the order with a replacement. Well we took a break from eating there for a while after being told that they were also a training facility with new cooks and what not. Well we decided to give them another try and ordered the family feast brisket dinner at about $62.00 including a slice of pie. We get home to discover that they again were heavy on the rub we were so hungry we decided to cut the rub and the fat off and try it. Mistake.! It was so salty my wife became very unwell about 2 am after eating one slice and I had two but seemed ok. Well I called J and N to explain and ask why does this keep happening in which management was very accommodating in making it right. But we didn't want the brisket so we at the suggestion of management got ribs and onion rings. So here's the part that solidified my money and business being taken elsewhere!! When we returned to pick up the ribs and onion rings with the uneaten portion of the brisket for management to witness the heavy rub on the meat for future training is what we were told. The food was cold and looked like it was taken off of customers plates that were done eating. The reason for my assessment is because one of the ribs had a little potato salad on it which I didn't order and the onion rings were soggy and salty. For an order to have been just prepared for pickup it sure seemed like this was food that had been sitting for some time. To say I'm disappointed in J and N is an understatement. We have been a loyal customer for years but after this experience we are done! There's nothing that can be done to right this wrong we are simply done. read more

Service is great and the food is excellent. I love the pork potato. Their pecan pie is so good too

We have eaten with Jim N Nicks since the first one opened in Riverchase many years ago. It got better and better over the years. Then it was bought out by a corporation and started the slow decent downhill. We recently went to the one on 280 and were shocked to see the sterile remodeling. Gone were many of the booths where you could meet for business, friends, etc. The food too had gradually become like a chain. The french fries are terrible. You cannot order a salad without the meat. Most places allow you to order a salad and if you want, add a topping. So sad to see our former locally owned place go down. read more

So good!! Came with a group of 40, Great service, friendly and efficient!! Food was good too!

Wow what a great family restaurant . The service was exceptional and the food can't be beat . We love this location. You must try the new Carolina mustard Wings read more

We ordered take out for a family of 7 tonight. The potatoes were hard and cold, and the brisket was very fatty. Where was the sour cream??? Very disappointing, but the cheese biscuits and tea was good. The mac and cheese was cold too, and we live very close and brought warming bags! Purple Onion has much better baked potatoes. read more

I absolutely love there salads! I chose the Pig in the Garden, but instead of pork I got smoked chicken. The portion size is just right and their homemade ranch dressing is Yum-O! I ordered my daughter the kids cheeseburger and a side of fruit ( you can chose any side for the kids meal). She really enjoyed it and ate every bit of it. This location actually has a room you can reserve for any kind of celebration at no cost, which I thought was cool. I will definitely keep that in mind. read more

The corn biscuits were ridiculous!!! My husband and I shared a platter so we could try different cuts. Definitely needed to use some sauce on the meat. Sides were good!! read more

This is going to hurt a little... I love Jim n Nicks BBQ but tonight was not a good night. Let's start with the good. The sweet tea and crushed ice are amazing! The Bbq Pork Sandwich was fantastic, piled high with meat! The sauce is always amazing! So why not a five star? Well I really don't mind paying $15 for a solid BBQ sandwich, fries and drink, and usually it's worth it - not only for the food but the service. Unfortunately tonight, I asked for crispy fries like I always do and normally they go out of their way to make sure they are crispy. The fries were limp, cold and in a to go box and I felt like they had been sitting for a while. It was a sad half empty box of fries. I know this location is slammed most of the time and they want to be fast, which they were, but they completely ignored my request and that was disappointing as I expect to pay a little more at Jim n Nicks, but normally it is worth it. Normally they give extra effort to make sure the customer has a good experience, but tonight they just didn't seem to care. Also I asked for a couple extra sauces and they gave me one. Again not the expert customer service I am used to with this chain. I'm bummed to have to write this but they need to get back to their higher standards that set them apart from other BBQ places. read more

Awful service. Slow night and tables were dirty and we had to ask to have the table cleaned off after being sat down. Other tables were sat in our section after us and received service right away while we waited and had not even a water for 10 plus minutes. Looked at by staff and still nothing. read more

Everything about my visit was AMAZING!! Service was fast and efficient. The food is always hot and fresh! Thank you Jim N nicks Greystone!!

The restaurant was out of brisket, potatoes, and eggs, at 6:45 pm, and the waitress showed no empathy, almost laughing as she delivered the news. The drinks were strong, and the cheese biscuit appetizer was good. It took ~30 minutes to get our food, and it was on the cool side of warm. The loaded mac-and-cheese had good flavor, but not hot nor an actual integrated dish. Instead, it was pulled pork placed on top of mac-and-cheese. Interestingly the portion size of the loaded mac-and-cheese was smaller than the children's menu mac-and-cheese. Overall, it was not a good experience. read more

The BBQ nachos was amazing! The worker named Dee helped make sure my order was correct after I told her I was allergic to tomatoes at last min when I realized what was on it. I have had A bad day yesterday and honestly her customer service helped. Definitely coming back and will even come in and dine in next time! read more

The new remodel looks fabulous and is well lit. We all enjoy the great Barbq and especially the hot cheese biscuits! I always love the loaded Mac and cheese with the brisket... yummmmm its so satisfying. cant wait to go back read more

Like BBQ? Brisket? How about cheese biscuits? If so then you have to try this place! Be warned...You get a TON of food! I have never left without some leftovers for another meal. BBQ/Brisket sandwiches and plates will fill up most anyone. You from North Carolina & want your vinegar-based sauce? They have that too. While there, you have to try their Deviled Eggs as an appetizer. You only get 4 per order so you may want to get more because they will go fast! This chain has been a staple in the community where most BBQ lovers suggest to go with visitors to the area. I finally decided to take home some of the cheese biscuit mix to see if I can duplicate their absolutely delicious biscuits. I highly recommend this place! Hope to get one locally soon! read more

Went on the 4th of July, crowded but very good service and good food. The server was attentive and checked on us constantly.

Food was ok. Service was terrible. Waited way too long for our food. When they told us that the reason it was taking so long was because they were pushing big orders through first. Very upset. read more

I work up the road and LOVE Jim 'N Nicks but I was really disappointed today. Maybe it was a lack of understanding of the menu on my end, but i ordered soup & salad (chili & house salad with ranch) and it was legitimately the saddest thing I've ever seen. The chili came in the worlds tinyest bowl & was like warm at best. The salad was really sad and the lettuce was limp. I didn't have nearly enough dressing (thank goodness we had some in our staff fridge). I was also missing one roll which is a mega bummer because their cheese rolls are to die for. read more

This isn't a review we wanted to do. After a good meal with good service we were surprised and upset to find an unauthorized tip added to our bill. We've long chosen to pay using a debit card and cash for tipping, always writing CASH where the tip place is on the bill. We place the cash under the receipt and tip well. We didn't see what happened until updating banking, someone added an additional 20% tip. We choose not to dispute with the bank, and also choose not to come back to this location of Jim N Nicks read more

So good! So so good. The cheese biscuits were amazing. The spare ribs and the Pulled pork and brisket was great! Everything was phenomenal. The macaroni and cheese was cheesy and gooey gooey and the Brunswick stew was good but needed okra to make it legit. The prices were really good. We got the small ribs and the double sandwich and it was less than $30 which is good for bbq joints. Service was great and we will most definitely come back. read more

This review is specifically about booking their reserved room and our experience with it. We decided we were going to come here for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding as it half way between our wedding venue and the hotels most of the out of town guests were staying at, so it was a good middle ground. All throughout, the managers I spoke to on the phone were very nice, professional, and accommodating. They even let us pick out our own, special menu for that night and distributed it to our guests. We reserved the guest dining space, which was just large enough to fit all of us. The night of the dinner, everything went great. We fought 280 traffic to get here on time, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Parking might have been the only issue we experienced. The staff were amazing and made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the night. The food was great, and everyone commented on the choices and the easiness of it all. Thanks to Jim N Nicks for making this part of our wedding go smoothly! read more
