We got carry out. It's good and the cheese biscuits are excellent but... it's not the best in Birmingham. That would be Saws!

Jim and Nicks has some good food but the last two times I visited this they didn't have what I came to get. This time it was catfish. The service was cordial and took care of us. We ended up having to leave. PS the catfish is good. Will return. Also hate they took rib tips off the menu. That was my fav read more

The bar service was solid on my recent visit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location always tends to be busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Although it was busy, I didn't have to wait long for a to go order. While I waited I had an order of deviled eggs! They were some of the absolute best I've had from any restaurant! I ate the 4 and wanted more. Highly recommend! read more

Got the new Pitmaster Nachos. You can choose between jalapeño cheddar sausage, pulled chicken or pulled pork, or with an upcharge, brisket. These nachos are "shareable" and you can definitely tell we had leftovers tonight! Service was quick and efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although there were a couple football games today including one while there, it was not crowded. A small buzz in the atmosphere but not overwhelming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The family next to us left before we did, and little did we know that the older gentleman with them paid for our dinner, seriously! Kindness is not gone in the world, we just have to keep our eyes focused on it. read more

There's good bbq and then there's this place. The best way to describe the brisket I got would be undercooked and stringy. That brisket should have been smoked another 24 hours or something. Beans way too sweet. Onion rings cold. Only redeeming item were the corn biscuits. read more

We ordered the brisket sandwich with a bun on the side and a BBQ chicken sandwich. The complimentary cheese biscuits are always served hot, and the cheese melts in your mouth. Pairing these with some Southern sweet tea and amazing lemonade makes for a delightful experience! My mouth is watering as I write this review!

Unprofessional management: I was waiting to be seated on the patio with other parties present and a manager (had a long beard) brought a worker out and started yelling and being rude about his performance. This conversation should have been in private at least and I'd hope they would be a little bit nicer to their employees moving forward read more

Came here on a rainy afternoon so I chose to go to the drive-thru. I ordered the rib plate with Mac n cheese and fruit. The cashier at the window was very friendly. Something told me to pull to the side and check my order. I'm glad I did. 2 of my bones at no meat on them. I go back inside and there is a young lady pouring bad sauce in to go cups. I stand there for a few minutes and she doesn't acknowledge me. I finally start moving back and forth and cough. She then looks up and says yes. Not can I help you but just..... "yes". I tell her about my order. While I'm calling she's still looking down and pouring. I stop talking and she says nothing. After a few minutes she tells me to open my box. By this time someone else's comes and asks how can she help. I told her what happened and she quickly rectified the situation. Whoever was working/pouring the bbq sauce definitely needs a lesson on customer service. If the other lady wouldn't have came I would've asked to speak to a manager. The Mac and cheese had not taste and the ribs were just ok. read more

This is not one of the better Jim and Nick's. The cheese bread was really cold and the barbecue was not as good as other locations. Even the wait staff was underwhelming read more

Saturday night, Decided to pick dinner up on the way home. We decided on Jim & Nicks BBQ in Trussville, Ala. Made the order using the app. No issues there. Not was there an issue at pickup. The lady and the counter, was polite and helpful. I drove the 30 mins home. Smelling the food. And it smelled wonderful. Might I add..... When we sat down to eat. I noticed my "Brisket ", was mostly fat. I thought to myself. This isn't the quality we normally get there. Then my spouse goes. I'm done, the pork is mostly fat, if you want to give it to the dog. So then O got a little upset. I had orders a Brisket potato, and a chopped pork plate. Both the plate and potato were mostly fat. There was so much fat. Between the two plates. I wouldn't even feed it to the dog. Didn't want her to get sick. Highly Disappointing!!!! My suggestion, if you have a pick up order.....Double check it before you leave. . read more

I made a phone order and went in once I arrived to pick up. From the lady taking my order to the various servers I encountered during pickup, this J&N's location merits a solid 5 stars, for great customer service, wonderful attitudes - especiallly considering they were working on Memorial Day - and great food! read more

****UPDATED**** The ambience is light industrial with the exposed brick, beams, and ducting. Not divey, it's clean and bright. It can get a bit noisy but that's folks having a good time. The food was very good. Elizabeth was very quick and kept coming back checking on me. I tried the queso dip with some trepidation because many restaurants just open up a can of cheese sauce and call it queso. Not here. Definitely an actual cheese base with sausage and oic to add in if you want. Very tasty. I had the baby back ribs full rack. Along with the Cole slaw and collard greens. The Cole slaw was a mild vinegar base not mayo and the collard greens were cooked well and didn't have sugar in them. The full rack of ribs had 12 bones and were cooked very well. They were not dried out and had obviously seen some smoke. The cheesey Bisc-ettes were a bit small and very sweet almost like a desert. All in all it was a very tasty meal except for the original barbecue sauce. It had a very heavy and acidic tomato flavor. Fortunately not a ketchup taste but it was disappointing. All I could taste was in the tomato. UPDATE: I went back at a friend's urging and st in Kiara's section. The sauce had improved I don't know if they hadn't gotten a bad batch or if the saucier had a bad night on my first visit. The sauce was better, not as acidic. Still some tomato taste but had other spices as well. On the second trip I got the spare rib dibber 3 pounds of course. (leftover ribs are awesome) In the 3 lbs you got 10 bones about an inch wide, some a little wider. The ribs were tender and had a very pronounced smoke coloring. Definitely a good taste. The fries are fries nothing more. The mac and cheese tasted like a few blended cheeses, cheddar of course and maybe some parmesan. Good alternative to my first visit. I will be back the service and the food all outweighed the inconvenience of the first sauce debacle. read more

Terrible experience. An hour and a half wait for just me and my girlfriend. The staff was rude the entire time and the food was cold.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, atmosphere, and amazing service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whether I've been dining in or using the drive thru/togo I always have a great time! read more

The Chopped Southern Salad is a favorite of mine. Add chicken or brisket and it's a full meal for me. Always very fresh, no brown lettuce (my absolute pet peeve). read more

Service and food were great. Kept the hot cheese biscuits coming and put the birthday cake in the fridge for us.

Did an order for pickup online. Food was ready when they promised but was missing an item that cost $6.00. That may not be a lot of money but I can't afford to just give it away. I've tried for 3 days to make them aware if the error and each time I'm out in hold so long, I give up. Please be sure to check your order here because they will leave items out. The food we did get was good but I wanted my desert too read more

Great barbecue And I always love the biscuits great wait was short service very good so much food couldn't eat it all Good price

Missy was the best !!! Great service . Hot and fresh food. Must go and try it. I got the fish plate .

Over the years Jim N' Nicks has become more and more corporate. It's really lost it's soul and passion and has become the Chili's of Southern BBQ. Food: Mediocre. Barbecue was dry. The burger was nothing special. The chicken fingers were probably good when they were fresh. Same for the fries. Mac and Cheese is a mound of mushy pasta in a what seems to be prepackaged cream sauce. Atmosphere: Dated and worn. Booth seats were torn and/or just worn-ass-out. Overall place was dirty. A single table remained dirty during 3/4 of our visit. A big sign out front says: "If we are not wearing masks - we've been vaccinated." Everyone was wearing masks. There was a general vibe from the workers of idgaf! Service: Not good. Not terrible. Just present enough for you to start complain about the time they show up. Bottom Line: The JnN brand overall has always been consistently good. This specific location sucks! read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - This pretty much sums it up... - Barbeque Near Me - Trussville, Alabama

Review from one vegetarian and one meat eater: The vegetarian options are typical for a barbecue place--potato salad, coleslaw, baked potato, garden salad. There is no veggie burger or barbecue tofu option, but I was good with a baked potato and garden salad today (be sure to specify no bacon on both!) Both were fine, nothing to write home about. But I decided to write a Yelp review because - if you are not vegan - you must try the cheddar biscuits. (Note: I did not ask if they used lard and am just really hoping they don't!) These little bites of flavor are called biscuits, and they have a slight biscuit flavor, but they have the texture of muffins. No dry lumps of flour that fall apart when you pick them up. They are slightly sweet and yummy! I also had coconut cream pie, which was okay, but they sweetened the crust and cream so much that it made the pie altogether too sweet for me. This was the "seasonal" pie. My husband, the meat eater, had Mr. Jim's combo plate, which had smoked Turkey and BBQ chicken along with sides. He said it was okay. He prefers smokier meat and barbecue sauce, but everything was really tender. He also had fruit, which was berries and grapes, and corn on the cob. He loved the corn, and I have to tell you, I saw him pick it up out of the foil it was wrapped in, and it was dripping in butter. I had to try it--and it did not disappoint. Wonderful buttery goodness! He also had sweet tea, which he thought was a tad sweeter than what we're used to in Texas (where we are from). Our server was really nice and came to check in on us regularly. The decor is relatively typical for a barbecue restaurant--some booths and some tables with red brick walls and exposed pipes on a high wood ceiling. However, the table service (as opposed to cafeteria style) is a nice touch. Also, it was not too loud or crowded, and I think it would be a good spot to bring your family. They do have a bar with six beers on tap, including two craft beers, and a few interesting mixed drinks. I had a Cahaba Blonde, which was smooth and refreshing. If I am back this way again, I will skip the pie and try a Southern Peach cocktail (Maker's Mark, Lemonade, Peach Purée, and Lemon Juice). And I will definitely have more cheese biscuits! Note: They have a nice outdoor patio and seem to have a robust take-out service. read more

Excellent service the server Kelsey was super nice and friendly and the food was excellent exactly how I asked for it . Fresh and hot.

Great fried catfish! Have not tried bbq yet but intend to* do so. Actually bbq was what I went there for but decided to get the cat fish instead bc it was Friday nite and it looked and smelled delicious!! It became my "go to" spot for catfish. read more

Good ppl brewing pale ale refreshing with a hit of hops at the end. The bartender was friendly and even talked for a bit before helping several other customers. Several locals were at the bar bc she knew what they drank and ordered. The muffins were good starter before the two meat platter came out. I got pulled pork and chicken. For the sides, i chose baked beans, and the bartender suggested potato salad. Pulled pork was seasoned well and wasn't dried out. The bbq sauce was very good. The vinegar bar wasn't overpowering. The chicken was flavorful but dry. Definitely had to use extra sauce on it. Baked beans were probably some of the best I've had, and the potato salad was creamy. Overall experience was great. read more

Came in to spend some time with family, after their kids wedding the night before. What a great choice! We came in, were welcomed enthusiastically, and seated promptly! Our server, who looked a lot younger than we're sure she was, did an amazing job of helping us with the menu, staying on top of things, and near the end of the evening, cleaning up! She never stopped moving, and was amazingly friendly. Great service! The food was excellent. The six of us tried a wide variety of items, from BBQ salad, to pulled pork, to brisket, to ribs. The biscuits, by the way, are a great reason to come - amazing and very 'unhealthy'. ;-) Everything was amazing, flavorful, and fresh. Combined with our server, who made sure we had what we needed, it was a spot on experience! When in the area, stop in from some good BBQ with fun staff, and flavorful food. read more

Great food. Pick ups are going to take a little longer the. Stayed. Lemonade is fresh squeezed and is no longer available for free refills. Depending on the season, the pies are great. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place!! This has been a place that is very convenient since our move to "this side" of Trussville. Depending on the time that you get here, the wait may be worth it (or not)! We mostly use the drive-thru... easy to grab and go and take home. And honestly, the prices are better doing drive-thru vs. eating inside. My go to is the Southern Salad with fried chicken and BBQ ranch (extra). It's a great salad. But the reason I'm docking 2 starts is because they hardly ever get the order right - either not enough dressing like I requested/paid or they give me pulled chicken instead of fried chicken. Maybe that's there way of saying to eat healthier Meena, but let me make that decision myself! read more

Good place to grab my on the go meals. I think they have cut down on the food some but it is still good.

I went through drive thru today 04/06/25 at 2:48. Ordered 3 meals and they left out a side of potato salad from 2 orders I called to report it but after being on hung up after the first 2 minutes of hold I called back and was cycled on hold for another 16 minutes. Finally I hung up and decided to Yelp them. This is the first time in a long time we've gotten such poor customer service. I know it's just 2 sides but not taking calls and brief hold doesn't mean 16 minutes is something to report. read more

My family and I frequent this Jim N Nicks location. Most recently my daughter and I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was somewhat busy. College football playing on several TVs. Our server was attentive but not worrisome. My daughter had the kids ribs which included 2 big ribs and the house made bbq chips. She said it was delicious. I had the Pig in the Garden with chicken instead of pork. Their bbq ranch tastes great with this salad. And of course the cheese muffins were delicious. read more

Ordered classic style ribs and southern burger on September 24, 2024. Was a terrible dinning experience and this is why; The classic style ribs were brought cold and not fully cooked cause I could see the pink. The bacon in my son's burger was hard like a piece of wood and after eating the food he got sick with stomach issues. I ate one piece of my ribs and took the rest home to cooks little bit more in my oven. The food was not worth the price they were charging. The classic style ribs were tasteless and undercooked. The waitress took forever before she came over and the customer service was not good. I definitely won't be going back to the Trussville location. Update as of September 26th (two days after dinning at Jim Nicks the Trussville location); My son got very sick on September 24th with stomach issues after taking a few bites of the southern burger and French fries before we even left the restaurant and didn't go to school the following day cause he started throwing up the following morning and my mother got sick with stomach issues later that night and is still sick as of September 26th, 2024. She ate their potato salad and corn on the cob. My son threw away the remainder of the food he carried home with him. I asked for a to go box cause my ribs were looking undercooked , the pork ribs looked like there was pink so, I put them in the oven after getting home to cook them a little bit more. This horrible dinning experience costed us a lot in terms of money and health issues on the night of my son's birthday on 24th, September. read more
