The service was fast, friendly, and incredibly accommodating for our family. Our boys ordered the chicken tenders and loved them so much that the adults got a little jealous... so we ended up ordering the adult chicken tenders too! No regrets--they were crispy, juicy, and absolutely worth copying the kids. I ordered the pulled pork burrito bowl, and it was packed with flavor. My husband had the pulled pork platter with a double side of mac and cheese (because one serving of mac just isn't enough), and he was one happy camper. My in-laws both ordered burgers and couldn't stop talking about how good they were. The draft beers were ice cold and fresh, the food came out quickly, and the whole atmosphere made for a relaxed, family-friendly dinner after an afternoon on the Savannah River. Great food, great service, and another wonderful family memory made. We'll definitely be back--although next time, we might just let the kids order for all of us!

After her phone conversation, she asked what she can do for us. So we said a table for 2 would be nice. I asked her "does it always take this long to get seated?" So she seated us but made a snide comment for us to be respectful to the staff. Her whole attitude gave us a bad feeling that I don't want to spend my money there if I'm going to be treated that way. I'm sure the food is good and good ambiance We went to the Aiken restaurant the next day, the difference is like night and day. The staff were A lot nicer here.

The first thing I have to mention is the fact that the ribs are boiled. That's a big no-no…read more Upon entering the restaurant, you don't know where to go. There are no signs, and if the staff are all busy, like they were when I visited, you just wander around and guess. It's a buffet, but do you sit, do you go ahead and make your plate? It turns out the beginning of the buffet is at the back of the restaurant (again, no sign indicating this). The servers make your plate for you, like a cafeteria, then you pay before you eat. Like I said, the ribs are boiled. I can't get over that. I had turnip greens and black-eyed peas for sides, and they were both good, but not great. My verdict is that there are much better barbecue places in Greenwood.

This was my first time eating from here, and I promise you it will not be my last! The food we…read moreordered was delicious. I ordered the Barbecue Salmon with Stemmed Broccoli and Hush puppies. This was so good and juicy. It had just the right amount of sauce, not too heavy or too light. It was perfect:) The broccoli was nice and fresh. Omg, the hush puppies were amazing! My husband ordered the Chili the Kid Tacos. The meat he chose was chicken. He stated it had a little spice with a sweet aftertaste. This he loved! The chicken was tender and full of guacamole, pickled onions and salsa. He also ordered Spanish rice and beans to make his meal complete. Everything was prepared well. Customer service was great. The ambiance was well lit, and the restaurant was clean. We enjoyed everything to the last drop!

Medwood popped up on my Yelp feed as a solid option, so we decided to check it out. The Western-themed decor features plenty of dark wood and dim lighting, which created a great vibe. As for the food, the barbecue was good--tender and not too dry or tough. I went with the half rack of ribs while my wife got the pulled chicken plate. Service was attentive, and our dishes came out quickly. While the meal overall was enjoyable rather than particularly memorable, their signature BBQ sauces were fantastic and definitely worth buying a bottle or two to take home.

The woman at the register was helpful when I asked what was popular on the menu since it was our first visit, but she wasn't very welcoming. She never really smiled, and I wasn't sure how ordering and seating worked at first. On the other hand, the server who brought our food was super friendly and made a much better impression. I ordered the ribs with baked beans and collard greens, along with the brisket mac & cheese bites. The ribs had really good barbecue flavor, although they were a little tougher than I'd prefer. The brisket mac & cheese bites were delicious, especially with the dipping sauce. The collard greens were pretty decent--slightly bland, but still enjoyable. The baked beans started off really good, but after a few bites they became a little monotonous and had a slight sour taste. I think they'd be even better with some ground beef or sausage mixed in. My son ordered the smashburger with mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was cheesy, gooey, and probably one of our favorite sides. The smashburger was just okay. It tasted like a regular burger, and I was expecting more of that crispy, charred edge that makes a smashburger special. The only other thing I'd mention is that we felt a little rushed while we were eating. Even so, the food was flavorful, the restaurant was clean, and I'd definitely stop by again if I lived in the area.

My experience at this location was not good! Last night…read more(approx 7pm) I stopped in for a Brisket plate, sandwich, whatever- I just wanted some Brisket. Pulled up to drive thru and this is what I hear,"hello, just to inform you we are out of Ribs, Brisket, Turkey and Chicken." I'm in shock, so I did not say anything for a while. I'm looking at the menu, it's 7pm, I'm at a BBQ place with NO BBQ. The voice come back and says, "if you have any questions, let me know", "we have smoked wings, catfish, burgers that are great options". I'm still trying to get myself together, so I'm still quiet. Finally I ask for the Smoked Wings (btw: I dislike chicken on a bone) yes my fault for ordering. I order the habanero smoked wings (6) and Mac and cheese...$17! I did not inspect the bag before pulling off because I just knew this was not going to taste good- I KNEW IT. The lady who took my order just did not represent a place that serves GOOD food. When I received my bag, it was sticky ( paper bag sticky?) and had BBQ sauce fingerprints. My hands were nasty from just trying to go in bag (yuck). I get home. Wash my hands, pull out my food and there I have Smoked Honey Habanero Chicken Wing Soup. The presentation was Horrible! They did not care how they over sauced those large chicken pieces. Some of the wings were split (wingettes) and some had the two pieces attached. Mac and cheese was missing the cheese only had the Mac! I have not been to this place since they opened, it's because I'd heard the food was not good since the people left who opened the restaurant. What's sad is Jim'N Nicks use to have a good name in other cities I've visited. I'm not from Augusta, but I've been here a while. I wish employees would take more pride in their appearance and service. If this is your chosen profession treat it as such. It doesn't matter if you earn $8/hr or $80/hr. Managers should demand etiquette and staff should want to display etiquette. It starts with how YOU LOOK. How the workplace is kept. How the service is provided. How the Customer feels when they leave! I just want everyone to do better! Be better! BTW: I donated $17 to Jim 'N Nicks BBQ- I thought I could not get past the presentation to even taste the food! But I had my husband remove the meat from the bone, I placed meat in air fryer and the little meat I tasted-was not too bad. I did not try the Mac & Cheese. I wanted Brisket, so I should have left when I was informed they had no brisket! I need these restaurants to care about the locals... have an ALWAYS STEP UP mentality!
