    Coconut cream pie
    Jack N.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Always so yummy! The service is great and the food is even better. We will definitely be back

    "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.

    Bar-B-Q Dinner - Baby Backs with muffins
    Tamica J.

    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.

    As a girl born in Texas, a really good chicken fried steak is practically part of my DNA. It's one…read moreof those comfort foods I don't eat often because it's so rich--but when I see it on a menu, it absolutely catches my attention. That's exactly what drew me to The Southern Pecan in SouthPark. Here in the South, they call it country fried steak, and I'm happy to report this one did not disappoint. I met a colleague there for lunch, and everything about the experience felt easy from the start. The restaurant is located in Phillips Place, a lovely little shopping area that feels a bit polished and upscale--with shops like Orvis, Tory Burch, and even a Restoration Hardware restaurant nearby. They do offer valet parking, which is a nice touch, though honestly parking is easy enough on your own. We had reservations through OpenTable and were seated on the patio, which was absolutely delightful for this time of year in Charlotte. The weather was perfect, the setting was relaxed, and the service started off warm and welcoming right away. Now, the food. The country fried steak was beautifully cooked--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and served with creamy mashed potatoes and gravy that hit all the nostalgic notes from my Texas upbringing. I paired it with a vegetable side (I believe it was broccoli or corn), and it was a classic Southern plate done right. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails, and to finish, we split a praline bread pudding, which felt like the perfect Southern ending to the meal--sweet, comforting, and indulgent without being overwhelming. The staff was friendly and attentive, and one of the things I continue to appreciate about Charlotte is how easy it is to connect with people. We even chatted with diners at nearby tables, which added to that welcoming, community feel that makes dining out here so enjoyable--especially for someone coming from the Bay Area. Prices felt fair for the quality, the setting, and the portion sizes, and overall the experience left a great impression. Bottom line: If you're craving a solid Southern classic like country fried steak--or just want a relaxed patio lunch in a charming part of SouthPark--The Southern Pecan is definitely worth a visit. And as someone happily eating my way through Charlotte and the Southeast, this stop was another reminder that the journey has been a delicious one.

The bread was hot and soft. The cheese was delicious as well. Will definitely order this again. For the mains, we went with the Chicken and Dumplings and the Southern Fried Steak. The Chicken and Dumplings were amazing as well. I always worry about the balance of chicken vs dumplings but this was very well balanced and delicious. The dumplings were cooked well and the chicken was very flavorful. The Southern Fried Steak was fantastic and well. No complaints about this dish either. Every component was well made and delicious. The only complaint I had was the service really went down hill after we got our meal. Our server didn't check on us until she delivered the bill which was disappointing because initially the service started out so well. The Southern Pecan is a good spot. Stop in and grab a bite.

There were several "reserved" tables that remained empty until after we had finished eating, so I think the restaurant could benefit from a better reservation system with more accurate buffer times to accommodate walk-in guests. To avoid the wait, we decided to sit at the bar, and I'm glad we did because the food was amazing. The fried chicken and waffles were perfectly seasoned, and the waffle had a unique texture and flavor that reminded me of a combination of a traditional waffle and a soft pretzel. The cheesy potato cake was absolutely delicious. The fruit bowl was also good, but I wish they had been a little more generous with the blueberry pudding. The shrimp and grits came with large tomatoes, which may not be for everyone, and my friend felt the dish was lacking grits overall. She didn't feel like she got her money's worth. Would I go back? Absolutely. My meal was delicious, and I can't wait to return and try more of their homemade, fresh dishes. I also think it's great that they partner with local farmers to help curate their menu.

Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out.
