Loaded Bar-B-Q Baker with smoked turkey

Stopped in for a quick dinner with friends. My first time here was a year ago on vacation and I enjoyed the barbecue baker (giant) potato so much, I had to get back. Our server was Layla, and she was an absolute delight--super friendly and attentive--and generous with the yummy biscuits! My sis swears by the smoked turkey plate. I had the marbled brisket plate with Carolina mustard BBQ sauce for dipping. The collards were also very good, a bit spicy. I enjoyed the classic rock playing overhead. It's a great spot for families and friends to dine without breaking the bank. My not-so-naked potato side was a meal in itself. No room for dessert this trip!

My POV Inside the restaurant .

First time trying this restaurant it was good. I wanted ribs but they were sold out. I got the 1/4 chicken with baked beans and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was too gummy, the cheese used overpowered the dish. (Yuck) The biscuits were amazing!!! Waitress was friendly but wasn't very attentive and no it was not busy. The restaurant was clean, warm and reminded me going to aunties house for a weekend BBQ.

Traveling to Florida, we stayed in Hardeesville, SC Found this delicious BBQ place 20 minutes from hotel. Best brisket and sweet tea ever! The server Ed was very friendly and efficient. We teased him that the restaurant should be called Ed, Jim N Nick's BBQ

Service was 5 stars. Waiter was attentive, offered good suggestions, and informative. Brisket was dry (in our opinion). It didn't taste bad, but probably was brisket that had been there all day or just over cooked/reheated. Not sure. Mac and cheese was good, didn't taste like a box mix. Collards were like my grandmas. If you know, you know. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was really good too! But it was a lot for me to eat. I could only eat half of one considering I also had brisket and 2 sides. We were traveling and stopped in for dinner before we got on the road for the night. I'd stop in again if had the chance to give it another try.

Jim N Nick is local BBQ place with sandwiches, plate or burgers. The menu has fried catfish. The restaurant seating area is nice. The table is a bit sticky. We got the Karl's Catfish plate. The dish come with fried fresh catfish. I got two sides as collard green and baked bean. The two side is tasty. The fish is very fresh. The second dish is beef brisket sandwich. The brisket is very juicy and good marinated bbq. The two side for this dish is coleslaw and potato salad. Overall is a good restaurant. Definitely go for the brisket.

5-30-24 Noon Ladies luncheon for a group of 14. They had a nice room off to the right setup for us. To tell you the truth I would never have had come to this place on my own. Hubby and I aren't big bar b q people. The person who headed up the group said they have killer Mac n cheese as well as great cheddar biscuits. So we go lots of parking out front. Once parked we met the rest of our group inside the door way and were shown to our table. Now get this we had one server and she was a rock star handling this large group. Especially with additional persons arriving after our initial order for drinks were placed. I had the unsweetened ice tea with plenty of fresh lemons. They even had extra lemons on the table as well as plenty of biscuits. I had three biscuits they were light and fluffy with a touch of sweetness to them. It could have been the whipped butter served with them. But no I had the last one without butter and it was still just as delicious. For lunch I asked which salad was most popular and I got the smoked chicken salad with honey mustard dressing. Note the dressing was very little too. Tasted freshly made and certainly complimented the salad and didn't weigh it down. The salad had plenty of iceberg lettuce, cheddar cheese, almonds, tomatoes and croutons. It was the perfect balance of each of the items to make the most delicious salad and lunch. It goes without saying too much food to finish it all. Definitely will be back to try out many of their menu items.

Catfish sandwich with onion rings
Kristine F.

Not a great experience today. They were not very busy at all yet we waited a long time to be addressed at our table. The waitress finally came and apologized for the delay stating they weren't sure who was supposed to be serving us. She may have been new and in that case needs way more training. The burger was dry and our waitress only offered to refill our drinks when we were done eating. I had asked for biscuits because I saw other waiters bringing out biscuits, and she said that they were behind on them. Yet she never brought them out and other tables still received theirs. When we asked for a second time when we were done with dinner.. she said oh yeah you want more biscuits?... We never got any in the first place then we were told that they would be free. I thought that was part of the meal, no?

Cheddar biscuits - yum!
Floy K.

We love Jim 'N Nick's! Anytime we are in an area with Jim 'N Nick's, we always try to go since we don't have one where we live. We come to Hilton Head at least once a year and always hit the Bluffton location at least once as we are passing through. Everything we have had is always good. The mac 'n cheese is my favorite from any restaurant! The cheddar biscuits are always a hit too!

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the flavorful barbecue, especially the brisket and pulled pork, and enjoy the cheddar biscuits. The friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere are also appreciated.

This was my third time coming here, and overall it was decent, but not quite what I've come to…read moreexpect. When I come back to a spot I love, I want the same dish prepared the same way every time -- that's literally why I keep coming back for it. It was pretty crowded, so I get that things get hectic, but that's not really an excuse for some of what happened service-wise. We ordered the corn fritters and oysters to start, and both came out cold. I'm not the type to send food back or make a scene about it, so I just ate it and moved on. For entrees, I got the Escovitch fish and my lady got the oxtails. The oxtails were way too fatty with barely any actual meat on them. My Escovitch -- flavor was there, it's always been good, that's not the issue. The issue was the portion of the sautéed onions and carrots that come with it. Last time I got this dish, that came with a solid, generous serving of those veggies to eat alongside the fish. This time I got what looked like the very last scoop from the pan -- barely enough to go with a couple bites of fish, let alone the whole plate. If that was intentional, like it's just supposed to be a garnish amount, fine, I'd understand that. But that's not what I got last time, so it felt more like I just got the bottom of the pot instead of an actual full serving. The BBQ mac and cheese also threw me off a bit -- noodles seemed unusually thick. But the GM actually came by to check on us, and when I mentioned it he explained it's gluten-free, which made total sense. Still tasted good, just personally not a fan of how big the noodles are. Drinks were subpar too, which surprised me because they're usually on point. Might've been a newer bartender, not sure. I didn't ask for anything off the bill or comped -- I ordered it, I paid for it, even with the hiccups. I just really hope whoever's in the kitchen tightens up on consistency, because the flavor foundation here is genuinely good. This isn't a bad-place review -- it's a "y'all had an off night" review. I'll be back.

After reading some reviews I don't want to be repetitive. But this place is a gem in Bluffton…read more The place is super nice, you feel relaxed as soon as you come in. Decoration is amazing. I had the Crispy Shrooms. Really good. Jollof rice is definitely a different and unexpected texture and flavor, very good. For the main dish was the Lobster Cashew curry. Absolutely beautifully presented and delicious. I should've follow my server advice about the rice. jollof rice must pair really good with meat. Not that much with seafood. I think the prices are very reasonable even for the wine. Service is impecable. Music Level perfect. Definitely coming back to try all the menu.

Lowcountry Backyard was one of those places that feels like it's been there forever in the best…read morepossible way. Quirky, unpolished, a little tucked away, and absolutely full of character. It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

Disappointing. The reviews were stellar, the food was not. The derive was good, but that's kind of…read morewhere it ended. Except for the fried green tomatoes- those were very good, dipped in blue cheese dressing (ranch was bad, tasted like plain mayonnaise with a parsley sprinkle) The pimento cheese appetizer was so disappointing! Tasted like cream cheese mixed with packaged shredded cheddar and 3 small pieces of raw red pepper; served with stale corn chips and uninspired pita. Was so looking forward to good homemade pimento cheese in the south! The grouper sandwich was sad, my friend only ate the fish and left the bun and tomatoes on the plate. The mac and cheese was even sadder, described as baked mac and cheese it was more like old leftovers, cold, separated noodles that were really dry. The shrimp blt salad- the aforementioned fried green tomatoes were the best part. The bacon was cold and floppy and kind of unchewable. It was served on wilted arugula. I'm so confused by all the rave reviews! Maybe this was a one off.

Located in a strip mall area there's plenty of parking. They have a Louisiana/Cajun/New Orlean type cuisine Rachael was our server and was extremely helpful as well as patient with the group I was with. Since reading the reviews prior to visiting, I wanted to try the Oyster Po-Boy. On the lunch menu, they had Combos where you can order a half Po-Boy along with soup or Gumbo for $13.95. The Oyster Po-Boy added an extra $1.00. So that's what I ordered----half oyster Po-Boy with Shrimp & Corn soup. The soup tasted like it may have been homemade. It was excellent with at least 6 medium size shrimp along with a delicious corn and seafood broth. The half Po-Boy was definitely a good size packed with large fried oysters. They had a separate room which I didn't visit. I'm guessing for larger parties or overflow. I believe they also serve alcohol although I didn't see a bar when I was there. Mainly people there for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

The outside looks to be going through some renovation, but the interior looks like it's almost done. Open space, nice and fresh. You place your order at the counter (2 menus- one for dine in, one for take away) and they bring it to your table. We both ordered the chicken sandwich, one Nashville, one regular and made meals of it with tater tots and chips. We both had tea, though they had Coke products as well. The chicken was very freshly fried and delicious. Great taste. Both the tots and chips were also nice and crispy, plus piping hot. Couldn't ask for nicer or quicker service. We chatted with the owner/chef on our way out- couldn't have been nicer. Highly recommend and we'll be back to try other menu items (chicken dinners, shrimp and grits etc.). Plenty of 'southern' representation on the menu to choose from without being too greasy or over-the-top. This felt like home cooking in a trend forward atmosphere. Don't let the exterior discourage you from trying- you'll be glad you did.

The pulled pork was good and the sweet potatoes okay but not flavorful like last year. The collards were not good and the biscuit tasted raw like it was not cooked in the middle - could not eat the collards or biscuit. The sweet tea was the best I've ever had. The tomato pie had no flavor at all; I threw half of it away because why eat something you can't even taste? I also got serious intestinal troubles which I can't prove was caused by the food but I suspect it was. I wondered why the place was so empty when I got there since the food was so good last year, now I know why. Whoever did the cooking last year please bring them back.
