I have had nothing but great food and service when I come in! It is always quick and fresh.

Best BBQ on our trip to Alabama. Friendly service and cute decor. Would definitely recommend. read more

Kinda sucks to say this since I've been eating here since I was a kid. I ordered from here through doordash, and Jim&Nicks was very thorough in making sure my bag was closed and safe from the third party carrier. The chicken was good, barbecue was delicious, I enjoyed my fries and mac&cheese. However, my appetite was ruined when I found some sort of fly baked into my cheese muffin? Not sure how it happened since in my experience, the restaurant is quite sanitary. Made me feel a bit put off since I'd already finished most of my food without looking that close. Really gross and not up to their normal standard. read more

Food was absolutely delicious, I got the chicken strips and they were amazing. I want to shout out the young man at the front Austin, he was extremely welcoming and kind when we arrived and checked on us throughout our experience which made it feel even more welcoming. read more

You order at the counter and they bring you the food. The boots are very comfortable and raised off the floor. We were brought a platter of corn muffins and butter but no plates so we had to use napkins to eat them on. I ordered the stuffed baked potato with brisket and the stuffed macaroni and cheese balls. I ordered the potato without sour cream but it came with it. The potato was enormous so I could only eat the brisket and bacon. The brisket was perfectly cooked. The Mac and cheese balls were amazing One companion ordered a turkey sandwich. She loved the turkey so much that she plans to order a whole turkey for Thanksgiving. Another diner had the 1 pound plate of ribs. The meat fell off the bone and he loved the sauce. The other diner had the 3 meat special with ribs, turkey and brisket. It was all delicious. A special mention for the ice. read more

I'm so glad to see that the location is still here. The bbq is very good and the staff is friendly. I placed my order to go and everything got placed correctly in the bag. You need to stop and get your order tonight, the chicken was tender and had great flavor. Not a huge fan of the collard greens but love the potato salad. My daughter's said that the ribs are better than my dad. So go place an order right now. read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Southern Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

I stop here or the Prattville, AL location on my way to Florida often. Always greeted by the friendly staff and always receive delicious food. Comfortable setting. I prefer the table service in Prattville but the walk up in Alabaster is good enough. read more

I've been looking for Alabama specialties, namely white sauce and banana pudding, and I found them here. I asked and locals usually have the white sauce, a mayo based bbq sauce, on chicken or turkey, so I had it with the smoked turkey. Wow! America has yet another delicious unique BBQ taste! Try them all! As for the banana pudding, they have festivals devoted to the dessert around the state, and it's both as overly sweet and yet surprisingly tasty with a light cake to give it a pie slice form. Delicious. The ambiance is pretty standard restaurant with high ceilings, brick walls and wooden booths. And the service was prompt & professional. I get that folks would rather have a waiter take orders table side, but having both a to go counter and a dine in counter for ordering is very efficient. Overall, I thought the restaurant ticked all the boxes well. read more

Food is always very good for BBQ joint in Alabama. You can not go wrong with a classic pork sandwich and their Mac and cheese is (chefs kiss). However the service always seems to be very slow. Pork is their staple and it took 13 minutes tonight to get it through the drive through and honestly not that busy. I did not use this to affect my rating but I'm personally not a fan of the redesign. They turned it into a fast food restaurant versus a sit down restaurant. read more

Great lemon crème pie. If you visit Jim N Nicks. Try the lemon pie. Great service and great food

We recently placed a pickup order here. We arrived about 10 minutes before the stated time the food would be ready... and the food was NOT ready until the time they had promised. My bad for underestimating time spent in traffic! Food was great and our customized orders were correct. The family deals are the way to go! read more

What is there to say about Jim 'N Nick's that would help you enjoy this location? Is it that this is the only location you have to go to the counter and order? You get to refill your own drinks? That your order has a 3 in 10 chance of being what the Menu says it is? While it gives you the appearance of a good BBQ place that is misguided. My opinion would be to steer clear of the Turkey Sandwich. That would be the Joe's Original Turkey. What comes on it you may ask? Lettuce; Tomato and Honey Mustard but I asked to add Mayo. My fellow dinner asked for Mayo but no honey mustard. She did not get the mayo or honey mustard and I did not get honey mustard but did get mayo. Simple mixup but you have to remember the sides and I wanted mayo and honey mustard. I know it was one time no this was the second time this month for the same sandwich and the first time is came with no lettuce; tomato; or anything else when asked. This first time there was a 3rd with us who wanted corn but the corn was looked like it was dehydrated. The look and feel along with prices of a high end BBQ place you would think better. I can truly only think of one worse place and that would be Martin's BBQ. read more

I love me some Jim-N-Nick's. I am a fien for the barbeque baker with pork; everything on it. They don't push to tip at the window. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But if I don't, that is why I used the window and am not dining in. I think it's time they get regular pay. But aside from that popular opinion, best tasting barbeque in town!!!! read more

Everything is delicious!! I highly recommend it! Service is great, food is great, you'll love it!

I come to Jim 'N Nick's whenever I'm looking for a quick but delicious meal and they consistently do great each time I come! I normally order the chicken tender basket or the burger with corn or baked beans and it is always amazing! I always have to get the house salad too. Each time I order from this location my order is hot, yummy, and accurate. I can't speak too much on the ambiance inside, but what I can say is that the dress code is casual. I mostly order either through the drive-thru or via the website as a pick-up order but I often see patrons entering and exiting the establishment casually dressed. Overall, this is one of my favorite casual spots and I can't wait to come back! Tip: You cannot pick up curbside orders from the drive through. read more

We ordered some food online to be picked up. The order was correct, but it wasn't ready by the time it was supposed to be ready by. I had to wait in the lobby for about 10 minutes while my wife dealt with fussy children in the car - not an ideal situation, and did NOT get an apology. Other than that, the staff were friendly and professional though. The food itself was good. We got some salad and soup, fries, mac and cheese, and chicken fingers, as well as some BBQ sauce for dipping. And of course, the always famous and delicious cheese biscuits. All of the family, even the kids, were happy with the food. We would probably order from here again. read more

Yes!!! Lina is the Best!! She is super sweet and always has a smile to welcome you The cheese biscuits are always hot and ready and

bought baby back ribs they were cold burnt and tasted like leftovers they offer me a refund but I did not have time to go back to restaurant I got my order through the drive through The employees and manager In charge should do a better job on quality control read more

Terrible customer service. The line was out the door and they couldn't take people's order in a timely fashion. Service was terrible and slow. read more

Overall terrible experience. The customer is expected to do all the work but they ask for a tip up front. Unreasonable time spent in line. If you dine in and then order something to go, they will not bring it to your table, you must keep checking in a little side room to see when your order is ready. Will NEVER go back. read more

Great food always. Great service inside and on delivery. Food consistently good great menu good quality in all the items.

Good food as always!! We sat outside and enjoyed the peaceful afternoon. Service was fine.

I was already not loving the new layout and concept of ordering at the counter then found out we no longer get biscuits for the table. WHAT?! Both issues for corporate for sure BUT this specific location has its own issues...we were served a potato WITH a coach roach in the meat. So unfortunately I'm done with Jim N Nicks ‍ read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Potato with Coach Roach - Southern Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

I've been meaning to write this for awhile. I don't care for the change to ordering at the counter as you walk in. It was much better when waiters/waitress served you at the table. Other locations wait on you at your table. Food is still good, no complaints there. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get a cheeseburger. It is so juicy. Their salad are so fresh and crispy. This time I got the BBQ ranch which was so amazing. I just recently tried their bbq corn which is very yummy as well. The white BBQ sauce that comes on it is addicting. If you love lemon do yourself a favor and get the lemon ice box pie. It is out of this world. I love that they have a drive thru which is so convenient. On the receipt if you fill out survey you will get $5 off $20 on your next trip. They are always so nice in the drive thru as well. I'll definitely be back. Don't forgot those cheese biscuits read more

We live within a couple miles of both Jim N Nick's and another local BBQ place. What gives JNN the advantage at times is the cheese biscuits. Sometimes we'll even swing through the drive-thru to get them to go with other meals. Honestly, for this location I have always preferred the drive-thru. Even before 2020 and restaurant changes, I didn't like the seating. I either felt cramped into a table in the middle of the room, or on an odd platform booth, like I'm lording over over-seeing the people who are cramped in the middle. The smaller side room is usually okay. I have not gotten to eat outside, even though it's been available even before this year, so I may need to go back and try that. Their pies are also a bright spot on the menu, and again, we pick these up for special occasions. The chocolate is a favorite and often requested treat by several in the family. I personally like them all; with the real whip cream on top they are super filling, so be sure to save room or share a piece with someone. The location itself is pretty good, sitting atop a small hill above the shopping center. If you're near a window at sunset, there are some spectacular ones to be seen. A lot of people don't seem to know or remember it's up there. This may change if they ever finally put the last bit of road thru from 31 to make passage between the north and south ends of the shopping center. read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Nothin' better than cheesy biscuits. - Southern Near Me - Alabaster, Alabama

My husband and I were traveling through on the way to the beach when we decided to stop and grab some food. We ended up at Jim n Nicks in Alabaster. From the beginning, we were both greeting with a warm and welcome feeling. My husband ordered the beef brisket plate with potato salad and I got the chicken salad. Both were absolutely delicious! This place knocked it out of the park. We are actually planning on stopping by again on our way home. Thank you Jim n Nicks. You guys rock! read more

I love the food. The mac and cheese bombs are delicious (newer menu item). The new dessert looked pretty good too.

I always love eating at Jim 'N Nick's. This Jim 'N Nick's in Alabaster sadly missed the mark for me. First off, this Jim 'N Nick's is huge! There were so many cars and so much space in the parking lot. I was in need of an outlet to charge my phone so I went inside and asked to be seated in a booth with an outlet. The hostess told me they actually don't have outlets. She said I was allowed to unplug a lamp if I needed too, but I just made my peace with a low battery. Now for the actual food. The waitress I got was a little all over the place, and had trouble remembering orders. She might be new cause I feel Jim 'N Nick's usually have a high turnover rate. The free biscuits were brought out to me pretty quickly and were delicious. I ordered the pig in the garden salad. It was my first time getting a salad here ever. It was not very flavorful at all even with the vinaigrette dressing I got. Neither the salad nor the meat had a taste. I wouldn't re-order nor recommend this salad. read more

The food was absolutely amazing i had the new boss sandwich and it was to die for, i also enjoyed the yummy new strawberry shortcake which was a delight. Me and my friend dined in and the staff was wonderful, even tho it was busy they still made sure to check on us often and bring us refills, they even offered us a refill on our biscuits. I have been to many jim n nicks but this store was the cleanest i've ever seen, the entire place was just radiating of good energy. 10/10 recommend and will be coming back. read more

So glad barbecue nachos are back on. The menu portion is so big you can split it with somebody. They are delicious not what they used to be very good in their own right and I can't wait to have another.Also the service is as good as it ever was!! read more

This salad is half what it used to be.food quality is good but much less food served in a shallow bowl to make it look like a big salad. There is no service here now. You get what you get when you order in line, nothing more. read more

Jim n nicks is a well established restaurant with a great reputation! We love their variety of family dinners and individual meals to choose from. We don't dine in much only because it's always packed so drive thru is always our choice. But man! The food is always delicious. Sometimes the greens are a bit salty and the baked beans a bit sweet but nonetheless we are satisfied! When we do dine in it's very pleasant the noise is not unbearable and the wait staff are on point. Bathrooms are clean and everything is wiped down. So this is a great way to have a family outing whether it be dine in or a picnic.. I believe they also cater events so we will be looking into doing that as well. Can't go wrong with J n N!! read more

We came here based on a recommendation from the front desk of the hotel down the street. You have to order your food in a line at a counter and was told you'd get refills at the table. We did not. The ice machine was down at the there was an ice bucket with one scoop and everyone's greasy, grimy, and germy hands in the ice bucket scoop (super unsanitary). The food was subpar, my husband smokes meats at home and his beats it hands down. The corn said it was grilled, it was NOT grilled. Maybe microwaved at best. Sorry but I wouldn't return or recommend this place. The only plus side was the nice bartender who gave us fresh, clean, good ice. My husband got the brisket platter and had a tiny 5 slices of meat. Super disappointed. read more

We called in an order before the Rose Bowl game on New Year Day. We got 18 smoked wings for a three person family. The wings were absolutely wonderful. The smoked flavor was delicious, and they were cooked perfectly. They cost a little more than the usual fried wings, but they are worth it. read more

Tonight was first visit to Jim N Nicks, I was seated quickly and the menu had a great selection of smoked meats, sides and appetizers. The cheese biscuits they serve as soon as you are seated are very good, a little too sweet for me but still great. I must say the service was outstanding, Jaselyn was my server and she was checking on me every time she passed by and always smiling. I ordered the baby back ribs and they were a bit dry and not as tender as I expect, the flavor was good but they didn't remove the membrane from the inside of the ribs which may have contributed to them being a little tough. The sides were very good, I will give them another try on my next trip to the area. read more

I haven't been to a Jim n nicks since our last date-aversary so I was definitely surprised to see that they have changed it to a counter-service restaurant. I actually didn't really mind the change and like being able to get up to grab a drink when I'm out. I had the joes Turkey sandwich that comes with lettuce and tomato. It was so full with Turkey and the bun was really good! I had Mac and cheese on the side and it was yummy (as always). My husband had the pulled pork sandwich and enjoyed it. We split a plate of brisket fries and they were so good. Of course I asked for white sauce and ranch. Imo jim n nicks has the best white sauce and some of the best ranch in bham. I treated myself to a cup of sweat tea and they did not disappoint. It was as country as it gets. One sad thing is that they don't bring a basket of those famous biscuits to the table anymore. Instead, you get a larger biscuit with your entree. I understand cutting cost and appreciate that they didn't completely take them off the menu. You can buy them by the basket now. Overall, the best Jim n nicks I've been to in bham. We will be back! read more

Alabaster location has gone to a counter style ordering set up and service is non existent now ( even if you tip well when ordering) prices are more reflective of a full sit down experience. The lean brisket is still worth an occasional trip but no longer part of the regular rotation too expensive for the overall experience. read more
