    Shrimp Po Boy with sweet potato fries

    Tried again with the new owners. I think they gave big plans to be the place to watch football. I'm all for that. The good is good, beer is cold and staff extremely friendly. Go give it a try! I think you will like it!

    Good and bad... First the good: - Angie the waitress was super sweet. - Sweet tea was good. - Hot pepper jelly BBQ sandwich was good. Next "Could be better": - Hand cut fries and fries okra could be more crispy. Next the bad: - Bacon cheeseburger ordered medium but outside of patty was burned and rather thin compared to the bread. Burger was dry, not juicy at all. - The bun was huge, thick, and dense. - The bacon was too hard to chew, it just cracked when bitten down on. - Coleslaw was supposed to be sweet and creamy but it tasted old and stale. Did not look very creamy, looked vinegar based. - Picture of burger on store front did not look the same as the burger served. When the manager came over she just said that is how they serve their burgers.

    Fatback's has been opened for a few years. In the past before I joined Yelp!, I had the pepper jelly BBQ pork sandwich that I picked up and was impressed with it. However, I never came back because at one time, it had only a 2 and half star rating, plus Full Moon BBQ is like my favorite BBQ joint. My brother picked Fatback's for his birthday so we went! Fatback's is in a strip besides Winn Dixie. Some people don't like that about BBQ joints but I have never had trouble with that. The atmosphere looks like a good place to catch a football game as there are a few TV's mounted high on both walls and football schedules below them. My sweet tea was refreshingly sweet and brewed fresh so it was a good start. My entree was the brisket plate with deviled egg potato salad and sweet and smokey beans. I was surprised with how good all of it was. The brisket was tender with a good flavor and they gave me an excellent size portion. No stinginess here! The potato salad tasted like a deviled egg without the egg. Fantastic potato salad! The beans were very impressive....no canned beans here! Just like their name, they were sweet and smokey and never had any beans like them anywhere else. The brisket plate was $15....a good price and excellent size portions. Fatback's have 5 BBQ sauces that you have to request. I liked them all. My favorite was the vinegar. It was made from malt vinegar with some sweetness and spices added to it. But it didn't go well with the brisket. There was a mustard one, which was my least favorite. It was just too mustardy but it was ok. They had a sweet sauce which was ketchup based and my 2nd favorite. Then they had a house BBQ sauce in mild and hot. The house BBQ sauce is a tomatoey, tangy sauce. Where I'm conflicted about Fatback's is that I have heard and seen by some reviews, they charge for BBQ sauce. That automatically gets a star reduction for me. Why should I have to pay for BBQ sauce at a BBQ joint? But they did not charge me for the sauces at least this time. In my opinion, there are a lot of so-so BBQ joints in Dothan. But Fatback's separated themselves from the pack to claim 2nd (behind Full Moon). I will be back and hopefully not charged for BBQ sauce.

    First time here and didn't disappoint. The fried steak bites were great and the fries were like grandma use to make. Great service!

    Lunch was pretty good, but I was more expensive than it was worth. Not my favorite, but a big selection of burgers.

    STAY AWAY! Tiny portions, sides that came straight out of the can... very disappointing for the price.

    Service was friendly, and it seemed like a nice quaint restaurant. I absolutely loved their fried…read moreokra and fried green tomatoes (they also provided some ranch to dip them in). I had their 1/2 chicken and tried some of the pulled pork too which was also good. Loved the mild bbq sauce the best with the meats.

    We got here just as they opened on Saturday and a few larger parties had just come in. We started…read morewith mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and I had a diet Dr Pepper. Was super excited to see they have that good crushed ice! The mozzarella sticks were hot and fresh and they served them to us with their homemade ranch. My sister and I both got the breadsticks. Mom had a loaded baked potato and my fiance had the pulled pork sandwich lunch special. The good: mom's baked potato with all 3 meats was super good. The chicken was smoky and super tender and moist. Next time we would all probably choose just the chicken. It's a huge portion so have a big appetite if you order this. There's also a large variety of barbecue sauces on the table. We loved the mustard based one. Amanda's sauce is also smoky and a little sweet but super tasty. We didn't try the others. The okay, but I wouldn't say bad: the loaded breadsticks are good but they aren't as good as Mama Rosa's and it all comes down to the crust. Mama Rosa's are softer and cheesier. A little more buttery too. The ones at SJ's were good, but not great and the cheese seemed like it was probably pre shredded and bagged so it didn't melt down too good. No brown/caramelized areas of cheese on top, ya know? The bread was bland and sort of hard. It took a fair bit of sauce and ranch to make it have much of a taste at all because the bread really overpowered the taste of the meat and cheese. The quality of the meat on our breadsticks vs what was on mom's potato was night and day and they were almost the same meats. My fiancé's sandwich was okay but he said it wasn't anything special. We had been here quite a bit in the past for family parties, and I definitely recommend them for those. They have party rooms and great service for those parties. Food quality just seemed a bit less than what I'd had from here before.

I ate two half slab of ribs two consecutive nights. They service was top tier, I called the first night 5 minutes before closing time for a pickup and the guy too my order happily. I got there and he's looking through the window for me. They had already closed. This guy had a great spirit and was really accommodating. I didn't get his name but he is blonde haired and had a blonde mustache and, he was wearing a hat, hopefully that helps him get the recognition I'm hoping he gets because he was exemplary.

I am so glad we went to Jim and Nicks BBQ. I'm usually tough on commercial BBQ spots because I'm a FL. Boy and we like our backyard (sort of speak) BBQ, but it was smelling so good outside I was feeling like Toucan Sam and decided to follow my nose. First of all, the building was very spacious and the staff was very polite. When we sat down, one of the staff members brought us these cheddar sweet biscuits and I have no business with bread cause I'm a type 2 diabetic but I was hungry and these biscuits was on point. They were really good. I order the 2lb rib platter with some collard greens and Cole slaw. Like the young folks say Bruh.... The ribs was so good made me wanna slap yo momma. The Cole slaw was also good it wasn't soupy like most places and was very flavorful. The Collard Greens wasn't mine or my momma's but with some pepper sauce they were okay. But everything was so good the next time I'm in town, I know exactly where I'm heading.
