    Cheese Muffins
    Nicole O.

    Every time I visit Alabama and visit this restaurant I wish I lived here again ! I love Jim N Nicks and this location makes me love it even more. The staff is so friendly from their top tier customer service to their beautiful smiles ! They definitely make you feel at home. The food is always so fresh and hot and the cheese biscuits are my true addiction. I wish they would bring this to Texas!

    This review is based on the Pensacola locations. There is convenient parking spaces unless you use the Handy cap parking. It is not a full service restaurant. You have to order at the counter, but their Point of Sale system does ask for tips. After taking your order, they handed me glass for me to fill up at the fountain station with the soda of my choosing along with a number that u put on top of your table. Like Hardees, they deliver your food. If you are going to ask for tips, then be a full service restaurant. Otherwise, disable that feature. The food was okay. I do like that they have a North Carolina style BBQ. If you are not familiar, it's vinegar base. The coleslaw is pretty standard. Nothing to write of about, but the greens was good. The dining room is self seating. You go to the counter and order, and you get to choose to sit inside or outside. They do have a sign on each table stating that tables are reserved for those who ordered. Kind of tacky. They do have a bar area you can sit at. With that, another restaurant with an identity crisis. It wants to look like a full service restaurant, but it is not. You choose if you want to tip or not. You shouldn't feel guilty if you don't because it is not full services. All I have to say is that I had to get up and refill my own glass.

    Carolina style pulled pork with mac and cheese
    Jimmy K.

    We placed a to-go order recently and we enjoyed it. They have a lot of options for meat lovers. The turkey was tender and juicy. The jalapeño cheddar sausage had just the right amount of spice. The Carolina pulled pork was tasty. I tried the vinegar option. The brisket was a little dry for my liking but I am spoiled living in north Texas. The cheddar biscuits were delicious. Check them out!

    1pound rib plate!!
    Steve B.

    Okay, let me first say I was wrong, so wrong. And.... If has been a very long time since I have been to a chain BBQ restaurant. Nope, I believe the individually owned BBQ restaurant is always going to be the best. Let me tell you something, this was dang good!! I do wish that you could order from the table, nevertheless we did order from the bar so I was able to avoid ordering as we walked in. Don't ask me why it makes a difference - that's just me. I had the 1 pound rib plate with two sides. I chose collard greens and fries. I also got two of their rolls with my plate. Let me first say the sides were great - the collards smoky - not too smoky - and well seasoned. The rolls were fantastic and great for dipping into the collard's pot liquor. Very good!! I have always said if a BBQ restaurant puts sauce on their meat they have something to hide. No sauce came with my ribs, in fact there was no sauce in sight. The ribs were tender and juicy and very well seasoned. They did not need any sauce at all - ever! I did get some sauce just so I could let you know about. It is really good. Not thick and it compliments the rub already on the ribs. I could eat those ribs everyday. The jalapeño and cheddar sausage was really good as well. Our son got the Katfish plate and he loved it. Ate it all up (he is 17 so most things do not stand a chance!!) My wife had a basic stuffed, loaded potato and it was a solid choice as well. Make your way to a Jim and Nicks. It is that good. We sat at the bar, and our service was amazing. The bartender (maybe Hannah) was from Virginia. She provided quick, friendly service and good conversation as well

    Pork fat
    Wes M.

    Went in with pretty low expectations, but was close to my hotel, and those expectations were confirmed. Ordered bbq sandwich. It was basically a glob of pork fat on a bun. I've had worse at only one other bbq joint, and I've been in a lot of bbq joints from North Carolina to Texas. Slaw had a mustard base which I didn't care for either.

    Beans, Mac, Turkey, Jalapeño sausage, brisket &fries
    Christy V.

    Nice atmosphere, BBQ was ok definitely not KC BBQ, turkey was good, baked beans were good not a bbq flavor but a good taste, brisket is bit recommended based on my KC BBQ, no comparison, jalapeño sausage is as good, mac and cheese was okay. Biscuits were good.

    Bones

    I spoke to the company and they sent me a $30 gift card. I went through the drive thru, ordered 2 sandwiches with no sauce. They got that right. Once again, they did not get all the bones out of the chicken. We are so over this restaurant.

    Carolina pork, lean brisket, cheese biscuits, collard greens and Mac and cheese.
    Cybelle M.

    3.5 stars. Stopped here to try some BBQ. Got 2 meat ( Carolina pork and brisket) which comes with 2 sides. Chose the Mac and cheese and collard greens. You can tell how good the BBQ will be, by the collard greens. Collard greens weren't cooked long enough and had that bitter taste. Mac and cheese was decent. Carolina pork is a dry pulled pork and was OK. Beef brisket comes as either lean or marbled. I chose the lean and it was very good. Waitstaff was extremely pleasant and food came out quickly.

Hominy, hush puppies, cornbread, grits, Alabama white sauce on any meat, especially smoked chicken, are all popular in Alabama. BBQ is practically a religion in the South! As former certified Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) certified judges, my husband and I completed the training and paid the fees to be certified. The "KCBS way" is different from a lot of people's preferences in that, for example, a BBQ rib should actually have some "pull" to it, meaning, when you bite into it, your mouth should leave a mark in the rib. This means "fall off the bones" ribs are not KDBS quality, despite how many love that rib consistency. The KCBS judges slots fill up so quickly and required us to travel at our own cost and we did not judge any KCBS events. Back to Southern food. Deep fried double Oreos are one of the many fried foods here in Huntsville, and Melt restaurant features them on their menu. Meat-and-Three restaurants feature a meat (usually fried pork chop, meatloaf, BBQ, fried catfish, country fried steak/chicken) and three sides (fried okra, creamed corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked potato, potato salad, cole slaw, French fries) and bread options such as cornbread, rolls, hush puppies. While Southern Cooking is absolutely delicious, I have to limit it because lets face it, it is high in calories and cholesterol. When I do indulge, it's shrimp and grits, pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, and fried whole okra.

Love that pimento cheese ball appetizer with that blueberry pepper jelly! For lunch, I had the meat and three. It was all good, especially the collard greens. SERVICE THIS WAS MAYBE SOME OF THE BEST SERVICE I HAD THE WHOLE TIME I WAS IN ORANGE BEACH THIS WEEKEND. OUR SERVER WAS SO AMAZING. I HATE THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME, BUT SHE WAS ON TOP OF IT AND SUPER DELIGHTFUL. DRINKS The bar area looked really nice. Most of my table had iced tea which everybody enjoyed. I also got a beer from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I was very impressed by their beer selection and they are a verified venue on the Untappd app so you can go to that app to look at all the beer selection and even filter and sort the beers so that you can have an easier time selecting the proper beverage. It even came out in a glass that matched the beer that I had! I like that extra touch.

But it was brought with the meal. The salad was fresh and crisp, with a surprise of a small Peppa dew pepper. Blazing red with a little heat and delicious. Haven't seen them in a restaurant ever. Unfortunately my fish and potatoes were cold, cold and butter congealed. The greens were warm and good I had also ordered the cornbread. It was refreshing to see that it wasn't the usual cake like kind, plus not the ultra sweet kind either. More bread like with a hint of sweetness. Delicious. The fish and potatoes had a nice flavor but unfortunately the cold food spoiled the experience. Since I was a guest of my sister I didn't say anything about the cold food. What a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be better.

If I remember the chicken fried steak back then was hand breaded. They're now converted to the Sysco style commercial available item. Not different than what you'd buy at Sam's. Whipped potatoes were definitely instant. The rolls were hot and fresh and as advertised served in a unique fashion. The "pass around" they bring to the table add to the uniqueness of eating there. Kind of a Cracker Barrel vibe with similar to slightly better food. Definitely a lot more going on in the dining room than Cracker Barrel. Tourist Trap, Definitely. Tourist Trap worth the experience? Yes. Not a place I'd eat every time I'm down here, but there are lots of places with worse food which you'll pay a lot more for. A place you should try at least once. If not nothing else to improve your baseball or softball catching techniques.
