    My first NC BBQ experience & it was delicious!!! Seriously hit the spot! The deviled eggs were perfect & the bread was sooo good, warm, fresh, & fluffy! I usually don't like corn bread but these were super good! The food came out warm and fresh when we went for lunch & pretty fast. The waitress was so nice & welcoming too!! The inside had lots of seating and even sold their bbq sauce!

    Been going to this Jim n Nicks for 9yrs and today was the first time I can honestly I may not go back. Our service was good. But that was it. My order of Bar-B-Q Salad seemed old. The salad greens were old or had been pre-refrigerated, the tomatoes were soft and barely any croutons and they were smaller compared to the last 8 years, virtually no grated cheddar cheese, no bacon and a couple sliced almonds?! The complimentary cheddar rolls were not cooked enough and we got a 4 tiny ones in a big white bowl. The entire food presentation for each dish was not good at all. All food was just slapped on the plate very sloppily and sparsely. The pie we got in the photo looked like it was just plopped on there and was melted and prehandled. I questioned our server to make sure it was ok. So... not sure what's going with this location but I am thinking the food presentation quality and quantity has gone down a lot, cook training, and short cuts are being taken... perhaps new management? Something is going on. Very sad.

    Mr. Jim's Combo Plate - 3 meats
    Diana R.

    Swung by the drive-through today and was in and out in under 15 minutes--now that's how you do fast food with soul. I had every intention of ordering the Smoked Chicken Southern Salad... but let's be honest, it's hard to say no when the scent of smoked meat hits you from the parking lot. Ended up going with Mr. Jim's combo plate--three meats: smoked turkey, brisket, and ribs--with a side of the Morgan & Co. White Sauce (pro tip: do not skip it). Every bite was cooked to perfection. Juicy, flavorful, and full of that slow-smoked goodness I've been missing. My sides of the collard greens and coleslaw were very flavorful... Very good! If you're craving BBQ done right with lightning-fast service, this is your stop. No regrets. Only smoky, saucy satisfaction.

    Right before writing this review, I realized this is a chain BBQ restaurant and that makes sense. We have been trying to find the best BBQ in the area so we decided to give this place a try. We started with the smoked wings which were huge and smoked just the way I like them. The gold mustard sauce lacked flavor but the dunk into ranch and blue cheese made up for it. I got the BBQ salad and my husband got a combo platter. The salad was a good size with plenty of pulled pork on top. I ate about half and took the rest home. My husband's brisket was a little dry, bland and smothered in a sauce that very closely resembled ketchup but I think it was supposed to be BBQ sauce? They do not have hushpuppies, instead they serve cheese biscuits. They also do not offer different BBQ sauces for your meats. The service was very friendly and we had a good experience, I just think you can find way better BBQ in Charlotte.

    This was our second time here and it was great on both visits. Service was very good, inside was clean and nice atmosphere. Great tasting BBQ! Baked beans are very good also and love those little cheddar muffins.

    "We Give you our best"

    Me and my family(4 people total) arrived to this Jim and Nicks location at 9:32 PM, and were seated at 9:34 PM. We ordered drinks and the waitress told us everything they didn't have before telling us what they did have. From the time we walked in we felt rushed. We received the classic Cheese Biscuits that everybody loves. However, we didn't love our biscuits because they were cold and obviously they were not as enjoyable as they generally would be. We were then told after the fact that the last biscuits that were made fresh were made at 8:30 PM and that the location closed in 15 minutes. We received our food about 10 minutes later and there was no issues with our main courses. For Jim and Nick's slogan to be "We Give You Our Best" we sadly did not receive Jim and Nicks Best. Next time Jim and Nicks give us your best!

    Came here for dinner on a Friday and luckily we arrived before the crowds. Our server was attentive and prompt. We ordered the onion rings as an appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it arrived. Everything was delicious, hot and fresh. Will definitely return.

    The customer service PHENOMINAL! I ordered 1/2 rack of baby backs. When I say they were SALTY, it was too much for me. It gave me a headache. I even tried to push thru but it's a no for me. Plus the meat was over smoked. Baked beans pretty good. Muffins were ok. Ambiance is family friendly. Will I be back? I would try them again, but get something else. Have you been here? If you go send me a message in what to try.

    This is some great barbecue in the Carolinas, you can tell it's a popular place by the amount of people in there.I had the pulled pork with corn on the cob and one had the brisket with Mac and cheese, both were really delicious and great bbq sauces too. Our waitress was really friendly. She even gave me a sample of collard greens which I loved. my families been there a few times before so I know all the food is good baby back ribs are a hit.

The food we did get was awful. The chicken had a fishy taste, almost like cod. The pulled chicken was so hard and dried out that I could barely bite into it, while the bun was completely soggy. The mac and cheese was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for a long time. The service wasn't any better. We were brought hushpuppies but weren't even given plates to eat them on, and we had to ask for basic things throughout the meal.

A pulled pork sandwich and two beef brisket sandwiches were excellent. Our server, Darlene C. kept checking on us and gave us refill beverages to-go. Nice. I think maybe 521 BBQ might be coming back to the quality it was.

While most…read morerestaurants give you the reheated version of a deep fried wing fried in lawn mower oil, this place offers delicious, top quality, fresh wings every time! They were perfectly cooked, fresh and delicious and the order was perfect. It is kind of hard to think that a Korean franchise is beating one of the most American dishes at our own game, but that is the reality. Service was courteous and on time. Their website seems to need some work as I had so issues to place the order while on MS Edge and had to switch to Google Chrome. No biggie, just worth mentioning. They are not cheap, but if food is good and fresh, I prefer to pay for quality.

Next time I will give that Golden Original chicken a try. There are some plates and rice dishes, but the focus is on the chickens. You chose wings or chicken, meaning wings and boneless chicken pieces. I generally do not like sweet and honey coated meats, so had to ask the counter guy what was what. Also, Koreans do like spicy hot foods and can, like the Thais, blow your taste buds to pieces, so go slow to go fast spice-wise. I had a two flame (out of a high of five flames) serving of wings and it was, to me, mild. Best to call in and pick-up. I had to sit for 20 minutes to get my walk-in order, as the kitchen cooks up one batch at a time. Pricey. My 8 wing order was $16 with $1.60 tax = $17.60.

They have apple pies that taste like what McDonalds used to serve over 15 years ago before they got cheap with them. My problem with them is however they organize putting the order together into the bag. 95% of the time I go there, there's something wrong. Most of the time, it's that they don't give me my dipping sauce. For most places, I wouldn't care about the mistake and just eat my meal. However, unlike most other places, this franchise charges $0.50 for a dipping cup and you don't get a complimentary one. Other times, I'm missing my apple pie. Luckily, It takes me 2 seconds looking in the bag to notice because they have this annoying protocol of having drive through customers pull forward, away from the window to wait on your food (unlike other places, it's not because 1 item you ordered is being made and allowing other customers to get their food and go around you while you wait). It turns into me rushing to open the bag and find a problem before they disappear into the building. Now come to today. Same old, same old. They managed to remember my dipping cup but forgot my entire apple pie. Waved them down, got it and took off. Fast forward to getting home and I open my burger to find that my double is suddenly a single with jalapenos on it. I have never been to any food place that forgets and messes my order up more frequently than I have here. It's not a food problem, I love the food. It's a problem with the people working in it, which is more than likely because of whatever very specific way the franchise wants their workers to do things. If you go here, make sure you have everything you paid for. You will probably need to be vigilant here more so that any other place you've gone to combined.

Well....I am disappointed.

The barbecue beans were dry and flavorless, and the potato wedges were like warm. Everything was so deficient in flavor that I am concerned if anyone understands barbecue.

Messing up southern sweet tea in the south is a solid sin! Slaw lacks sauce and is dry. The banana pudding is gross. Cheap vanilla instant pudding and some wafers on top that are soggy and stale for sure. It tastes several days old. Zero bananas and zero banana flavoring.
