Food was awesome 10/10 only thing that could've made it better was a good rub on the meat and the sides were very small

Our first visit became our first of many. Words can't express how good their BBQ foods are. If you are a fan of BBQ, this is a must visit. read more

(3.5 stars. I don't usually eat in BBQ places so take this with a grain of salt. Nothing was bad; just not really to my personal liking) Pretty good food here. I got a chicken tender plate with mac n cheese and collard greens. It came with 3 little cheese muffins, which were good (but...and?) very buttery. I haven't decided if I liked the greasiness of the muffins, but they did taste good. I think they did fry the chicken tenders to order but they tasted like they were fried in old oil. The texture was good--crunchy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. But the breading was a bit hard and it just had an old oil taste to it. The greens were good. I appreciate that the container they came in wasn't overflowing with juices; it was packed with greens. Same can be said of the mac n cheese. They really packed it into the container so they weren't skimping on the portions. The mac n cheese was a tad too rich for me. I'm thinking they use a rich roux and then add cheese. Compared to mac n cheese at other places, I much prefer this one. It wasn't runny or watery, so that was great. I felt like I couldn't eat much more after a couple of bites, though. Good thing microwaves exist :) I love leftovers! I used the drive-thru but it took a little while (I imagine because they cooked the chicken to order). I dunno if this is normal or not as I've never been to Jim n Nick's before, but I say in the drive-thru for about 10-15 min. It was fine since I wasn't in a rush and rationalized the wait in my mind (fresh chicken is better than old chicken), but it woulda been nice for the attendant to either warn me or come to the window at some point to let me know my food was being prepared. At any rate, everything in my order was correct and it was packaged nicely for my 10-min drive home. I'm on the fence about returning in the future. I liked the tenders but there are other places in the area who make them better. I may go back to try their beef bbq. read more

I grew up eating Eastern-style NC BBQ. their BBQ is some of the best I've ever had, and as an old guy, I've eaten a lot of BBQ. The smoke was so good, you didn't need the sauce. The collards are worth getting 2 servings, but if you do you'll miss their fantastic beans. you can't forget the banana pudding that is made with real bananas and nilla wafers. I will definitely be back. read more

Good food good atmosphere great place to hang out. Easy to find and great location great people.

The food was not the best. Also it was cold and the BBQ sauce tasted like marinara sauce. The service was OK. The restaurant was very pretty and nice. I would not go again. read more

Best chicken and potato salad ever An service is always amazing yum yum will keep going back read more

Great food and service. What a great place to take a group. Was with 3 other friends and everyone enjoyed their meal. We will return soon.

They have some good brisket for this to be Tennessee . I love the cheese biscuits too. It's a must have besides Sugars Ribs.

Disappointing that they were out of ribs. Went with the pulled pork and it was excellent! Very moist and not "over smoked". The sides were average. Need fried okra. Service was very good. read more

Listen!!!!!!!! My good good Yelp friends! Let's start with the location, convenient for a shopper such as myself next to Hamilton Place Mall. As you walk in, you are greeted WARMLY and the atmosphere, welcoming!!!!! As a first timer, you are offered a free dessert and EVERYTHING is made from scratch daily. We ordered ribs, brisket and pulled Pork. The sides were all delicious, so much so, when I tasted my husbands coleslaw, I had to order more for myself. The macaroni was also good to us as well. The white BBQ sauce is EVERYTHING! My feet dance a bit when I eat good food and a bit more when I get great service which I did so I met my steps easily. Very very good!!!! All of the food was hot, fresh and those lil cheese biscuits GOOD GOOD GOOD. We chose the lemon pie which was AWESOME!!! Jim, Nick and them good folks are doing great stuff at this location and as a tourist who loves to support different places, I am so glad my husband and I walked in!!!! read more

It is very easy to ruin good BBQ, but rest assured that Jim 'N Nicks perfected everything there is when it comes to BBQ!!! We tried a bunch of different items, from their smoked chicken, mac & cheese, potato salad, baked beans, spare ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket. If I had to pick a favorite side, it would be the mac & cheese -- not sure what they put or what magic they sprinkled into it, but it was creamy, hearty & flavorful all in every bite. I read in someone else's review before going that they had the best mac & cheese in Chattanooga and whoever said that was NOT lying -- it was out of this world delicious. The restaurant was incredibly clean, spacious & had booths, small tables, a proper bar area with stools & even a larger dining space for bigger groups if needed. The service was up-beat, helpful & very polite but what else would you expect in sunny ole Chattanooga other than the nicest of service! All in all, I had an amazing 10/10 time here & would HIGHLY recommend going here if you're in the area craving BBQ! Also, if you're wondering of all the delicious meats -- their brisket was honestly the most perfect, juicy, seasoned cooked brisket i've ever had. read more

As a restaurant manager myself, I was highly disappointed in my experience today. I've been a frequent flyer at Jim N Nicks for almost a year now and have witnessed the level of attention to detail go down the drain tremendously the last few weeks. At least now when I go I know what to expect. The two female managers will let your food sit getting cold for 10 mins while their staff is running circles around them. I witnessed the blonde look at the food ready to be taken out and proceed to carry on her conversation with the fellow female brunette. If the cooks are having to step off the line to bag orders, then give them the pay they deserve and let those managers go. Either host a meeting with your management team outside of the dinner rush to discuss what you need and get your hands dirty to actually help, or maybe look for another position. read more

Amazing from the cheddar biscuits to the brisket and ribs omg everything was delicious. Customer service A+ Tarry took the time to explain everything. Great food and great service! Thank you all for the tips where and what to visit while in Tennessee read more

Ordered a combo plate. Pulled pork and brisket. Pork was good. Brisket didn't even taste like it was smoked. No smoke ring, no flavor. Had to ask for drinks and silverware. Won't return. read more

Absolutely fabulous. Great food. Southern style that is authentic. Great smoked meat and sides.

Yum yum yum!! The bread is complimentary and SO SO GOOD!! I ordered the BBQ with macaroni and baked beans. I could have eaten more and more of the beans. They were delicious. Everything on my plate was good. The service was good and the waitress knew what she was talking about! Definitely will go back. read more

What a pleasant surprise! To everyone out there who had a bad experience when this building was Fox & Hound... Jim N Nick's is brand new inside and out! You feel welcome and at home the minute you walk in the door. Clean, comfortable atmosphere... roomy booths and excellent, friendly service. Jennifer took great care of us. Discussed the menu and homemade sauces. As we do, we had to try the wings, very meaty, I prefer more smoky flavor but I'm in the minority, we both had the pulled pork, one with onion rings(very good) and other with slaw on sandwich, potato salad & baked beans. All fresh and homemade. Draft beer ice cold and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back! read more

Second visit here... WOW, the food is great! The biscuits are really wonderful, cheesy corn muffin goodness. Our server was just the best too... helping make a selection from the overwhelming menu. He kept our drinks filled and made sure we were happy with our food choices. Brisket and two sides, yummy mac n cheese and cole slaw. The whole meal was excellent. Next visit, I'm having the pork nachos... read more

Gave them another try, but they only earned an additional star. Let's start with the positives first: the complimentary muffins were fresh, soft, and savory and had a fantastic flavor. The single pickles they put on the meat are also great quality. I tried their sampler and the ribs were probably the best tasting meats. The brisket was decent, although I specifically ordered the marbled but received lean instead. It had a nice bark to it, but was a bit too dry for me. The pulled pork was terrible and completely was flavorless -- it tasted like it had been boiled instead of smoked. My wife liked the slaw, but I found the vinegar overpowering and the giant chunks of cabbage difficult to eat. They are very stingy with their BBQ sauce and there is none on the table. There are no sauce options either. When you ask for more sauce they bring out a tiny cup. It's not a great sauce, being a bit too hot for my liking. My side of fries were not fresh or crispy, as if they'd been sitting for a long time under a heat lamp. The brisket chili was good, served with a topping of shredded cheese, although a tad too spicy for my wife. The food came out quickly, but getting drink refills and service was difficult and they never came back to check on us and we had to flag down servers. As before, the air conditioner was on too high and we were always getting a strong draft. In the end it was way too expensive for a mostly mediocre meal when there are easily accessible competitors with better food, service, and prices. read more

Kind staff, great food, and a well maintained restaurant space make this a great place for a meal when out and about near Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga, TN.

Best BBQ on this side of heaven! I promise you won't be disappointed! I am so so so glad that they brought this place to Chattanooga! And it isn't even expensive!! From the appetizer to the dessert, everything we ate here was phenomenal!! There are over 80 items on the menu and my husband and I can't wait to return many times more to try them all! We came during lunch on Saturday and had a 20 min wait which was interesting considering they just opened. They have a very spacious waiting room tho and text you when your table is ready so you won't miss your name being called. Everyone here is so friendly and honestly feel like family. They started us off with DELICIOUS fresh cheesy bread with honey butter spread. We then got the super tasty and very meaty medium wings as an appetizer. The double decker with pulled pork and beef brisket did not disappoint! The fries have an amazing seasoning on them and the baked beans are more on the savory side than sweet side. (You can taste the onions.) My husband highly enjoyed his pulled chicken sandwich with the best mac and cheese in Chattanooga! Best part is, we didn't have to wait too long to enjoy our food! Multiple employees were there making sure we were being taken care of. THE BANANA PUDDING IS BETTER THAN WHAT YOUR FAMILY MAKES FOR THANKSGIVING! DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT TRYING SOME! All in all, this place is the type of BBQ I've been looking for since moving to the south and you best believe I will be bringing everyone I know back here! read more

New BBQ place and not too far of a drive. We visited on a Saturday and it was a busy time they let us know it would be 35-45 minutes and we gave our phone number so they could text us. It took only 26 minutes so that was pretty nice. The place was crowded but it wasn't super loud, there are a couple of TVs and what looks like a full bar. Our server was pleasant, not overly attentive, and efficient. The food probably took 20-25 minutes to arrive and we could see food coming all the time so the kitchen was churning through it. They had some "bread" but they were little muffins and they were absolutely delicious. We had chopped pork sandwich and fries. The pork was delicious and the sauces they had on the table were tasty too. The fries were pretty good and appeared to be homemade. There was plenty of free parking in the shopping center parking lot. Overall positive experience. read more

Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Cleanliness: 5 We had a great Friday evening dinner at Jim N' Nick's BBQ. Walking in you could smell the meat smoking on the BBQ. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in the front door and saw a hostess stand (we thought it was an order at the counter and sit type of deal). We were greeted friendly by the hostess and sat right away. We ordered a beer and a Margarita to start along with the Deviled Eggs and Wings for an appetizer. For dinner, we shared the 2 meat platter (Brisket and Pulled Pork) and had mac n cheese and upgraded to the Baked Potato. Everything was delicious my favorite part of the meal were the cheesy biscuits and sweet butter they bring out before the meal. They were so good! Our server was great too! She was very nice and on the ball! We would totally come here again! read more

Overall service was good. Food was ok, pulled pork could have used more seasoning. Would eat here again is traveling through.

Chattanooga BBQ restaurants should be put on notice; there is a new sheriff in town and his name is Jim N Nicks! Great atmosphere, full bar with a very nice selection of beer as well. Nice coverage of big screen TVs so you don't have to miss the big game. Service was quick, knowledgeable and friendly with perfect timing. She didn't hover over us to the point of being a nuisance. Food was amazing! I had the Double Decker sandwich which is pulled pork and brisket. It is FANTASTIC! Perfect amount of smoke flavor, meat was tender and moist. Sauces are very good and the habanero (for me) has the perfect spice. My wife had the pork nachos and they left everyone at the table speechless. Make sure that you plan to share because an order is enormous. They do not skimp on ingredients. This was nacho perfection! A friend had the chili and she said that she enjoyed it very much. They give you a basket of complimentary muffins and keep them coming. Don't fill up on them because the BBQ is the star! If you are looking for a pig or cow fix, you cannot go wrong with this place! read more

When we walked in, the hostess put us on a list even though there was nobody else waiting. She then stood at her podium doing nothing while we waited. This even though there were 8 tables open at the time. After about 8 or 9 minutes she left and cleaned a table and we were seated. She put the menus down and left. My menu was filthy on the inside with sticky residue all over. They should be checked and sponged after use. The waitress was very nice and the service was great the food was outstanding. The hostess needs to be trained in organizational skills. We will return again read more

Great BBQ and everything that comes with BBQ. Amazing service. Food was out of this world good. We ordered the chili cheese fries as an appetizer and they were delicious. My husband got the choose 3, and I got the Carolina BBQ. We both agreed that the baked beans were fantastic and the turkey was the best meat they had next to the pulled pork. Our son LOVED the kids Mac N Cheese which was a very large portion. The chocolate pie and banana pudding tasted home made. 10/10 would suggest and go again. read more
