Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Barbeque Near Me - Foley, Alabama

The food is always so good here! The serve and the staff working the register was also great. I was in town visiting from MD so I had to get the AL white bbq sauce since I can only get it when I come home to AL. I got it on my pulled chicken sandwich and the meat was well seasoned. The banana pudding was also great. read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Pulled Chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Foley, Alabama

Friendly staff everywhere and making sure you got everything you need. It's an order first at the front and find a seat, then they bring your order to you. Marble Beef brisket was great! Pulled pork was kind of dry even with more sauce added. Cornbread muffin hit just right tho! read more

This is a chain BBQ joint I have eaten at in Birmingham and at this location in Foley, AL. The ambiance seems very similar to exact between these two locations I've tried as would be expected with chain joints. The BBQ always seems to be inconsistent with sometimes good, sometimes disappointing but usually mediocre. I think Hog Wild Beach & BBQ in Gulf Shores is far better than this joint and I only end up at Jim 'N Nick's when I'm limited by time and have to do something quick when I'm in town. During my most recent visit they were out of unsweet iced tea and they never got it refilled during my visit. Another consistent issue I've had here is they never have given me a spoon when I've ordered the brisket chili so that has always left me either on the hunt for a spoon or trying to eat it with a fork (now for my last two visits they have actually given me a spoon). They sort of kind of have table service here as they deliver your food to your table and sometimes different staff walk past and ask how you are doing which in the past here after you got your food delivered you usually didn't see anybody at your table again. So they have improved a tad bit over the years that I've tried this spot. Given the choice and available time I'm always heading to Hog Wild Beach & BBQ in Gulf Shores for a far superior experience but sometimes I will be stuck with the mediocre experience at Jim 'N Nick's to take care of my BBQ addiction. Overall Jim 'N Nick's is OK while Hog Wild Beach & BBQ is fantastic. The absolute BEST BBQ in America is Gonzo's Smokehouse in Luling, LA. read more

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! read more

Went here for the first time with family who were vacationing in the area. I have never been to Jim N Nicks, and honestly rarely go to bbq restaurants as my family prefers my bbq. I was extremely impressed with this restaurant. Not only was the bbq on point, the service was incredible! Our table was visited several times to see if we were satisfied or needed anything! They even offered to refill our drinks (drinks are self serve). I also felt it was a great value for what you receive. I cannot vouch for other locations, but this one is exceptional and has changed my attitude towards eating bbq away from home! Thank you for a great experience! read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Not-So-Naked Potato with pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Foley, Alabama

We picked up our order tonight and literally picked it up 15 minutes after ordering and I'm disgusted! My baked potato ice cold, my salad came with no dressing and was mainly lettuce with 1 tomato, 2 croutons, no bacon and very little cheese! My husband could barely chew the ribs and onion rings cold and greasy and no salad dressing for him either! We paid over $55 which included a 20% tip to basically throw it in the garbage! Won't be back! read more

If we come through Foley, you know we'll be stopping here. The cheese biscuits are to die for, and the staff is so, so nice. read more

Great BBQ, and sides. Love the Ribs, Smoked Wings, Chicken, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, little sweet Biscuits! Call ahead if you want ribs (they've been sold out the last two times I've been there, WTF? at 6:00 PM on a Friday night, poor planning). I've given them a good review, but am disappointed with thier inconsistency. Still great BBQ read more

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. read more

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! read more

Food: I'm actually gonna rate each item because this is my Yelp account and I do what I want! Coleslaw - 6/10: It was missing something, like some heat or like raisins (kidding, kidding...). It wasn't bad just not the best I've had. Brisket Sandwich - 8/10: Big PLUS for offering a "lean" version! Nice. The only thing I would say is that the sauce was a little soupy. I prefer a thick, tangy BBQ sauce... but that's just me. Overall a great cut of beef! Mac n Cheese balls - 10/10: I've had cheese balls before, but these were friggin' awesome. They put brisket in with them! The outer layer was perfectly crisp, delicious Mac n cheese inside... I probably should not have eaten all 4 but I couldn't stop! Dang those were good. Cheesy Cornbread - 10+/10: It goes KFC biscuits, Red Lobster biscuits and then blowing both of those out of the water are these bad boys! Let's just say I'm glad they only gave me two. If I would have known how awesome those were, I probably would have ONLY gotten a meal of only biscuits! The cornbread wasn't too sweet, the edges were crispy and chewy, cheese in the middle... dude... I was done after those. Epic. Service: Good service, no complaints. But I saw another post on here about the "you order at the front but then they bring food to you" feel. So you feel obligated to give a tip...? But they didn't take your order at your table. It's just one of those places that is in between a fast food and formal service. Regardless, they were still nice and professional. Shout out to Eric for suggesting the Mac n Cheese balls! What an epic name! Atmosphere: It's like a cabin-ish feel inside, kind of like other BBQ places. It would be really funny if there was a BBQ place that had like, I dunno, an Anime theme or something...? I mean, that's a bit off the wall, but I'm just Sayin (see what I did there?) that all BBQ joints have pretty much the same feel. Cozy enough and clean so that's a plus! Price: Middle of the road. Solid meal will run you 25$ plus tip. But obviously it gets pricy if you get different cuts or more meat. Still even those prices weren't horrible. Oh and also CRUSHED ICE!!! Overall: Just three words for this one. "I'll be back," A.Schwarenegger read more

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 read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - 1pound rib plate!! - Barbeque Near Me - Foley, Alabama

We typically order our bbq to go. I like the 3 meat sampler and have found the spare ribs are some of my favorite. They are tender and juicy. When I order online the food is ready when I arrive and throughly checked over before me leaving. There is plenty of sauce included. The pickup area is convenient and easy to use. The overall restaurant space is smaller than most J 'N Nicks locations but seating is more than enough and also has outdoor seating. There are TVs and a full bar for those who wish to partake. Location is also good. read more

I would like to say the food is always fresh and delicious,also the atmosphere you can not beat it anywhere else. My servers name was Johnny and he has that smiles that just puts you in a good moon every time you walk in the door and always very friendly and always making sure I had everything I need, the manager Lisa and Eric were also very nice coming around and checking on all of there customers and you don't see that very often in restaurants anymore my overall visit was a 5+ . I hope everyone has a good day!! read more

Docking a star because the price kind of got away from us. We did order extras but still $62 lunch for 2 people was a bit much. The brisket - Amazing! So glad we weren't deterred by the lower review score. The food was seriously good! Nay... great! The Cole slaw was not to my liking but I can be picky about Cole slaw. The Mac and cheese was melty warm gooey goodness. The brisket sandwich was so tasty (a mix of marble and lean). The French fries were scrumptious (better than the onion rings). Margarita was $10 but was a fairish price for the size. The lemon cake slice was $6 which was more than I was expecting but I can't be too mad cause it is still living rent free in my head and on my taste buds. It was mighty good pie. So we would go back and skip the cocktail and extra sides...but still order dessert. read more

We always have a great experience at Jim 'N Nick's, but Eric truly takes things to another level. You can absolutely tell when he's working because everything consistently tastes even better. He goes above and beyond, is incredibly personable, and clearly takes pride in what he does.

How do you run out of onions for your Southern burgers when you're in that type of business

We have eaten here before with better results. I smoke pork butts occasionally and follow the "low & slow" path. Many hours of painfully anticipating the tender fat rendered "pulled" labor of love. Assumed a bbq joint as popular as Jim N Nicks would shadow my meager efforts. Last evenings meal was disappointing. Our pork was not cooked past rendering or pulled. It was fatty chunks of stringy pork on a tray. No evidence of smoke ring, bark or flavor. The bbq corn and fries were the best part of the meal. The A/C was so low, our food was cold within seconds of arriving. Not a fan of self-service models which pop up a tip screen either. Culver's does the same thing and doesn't expect a tip. The young lady who brought us biscuits and our food was pleasant, she wasn't a server but a deliverer. Experience was below par for us this trip. read more

I highly recommend their smoked chicken! Their panko crusted onion rings are good too! read more

I am a little late posting this review (sorry!), but my family and I come here for our Mother's Day lunch. We have eaten at this restaurant at least a half dozen times or so. Our family gets together and eats out fairly regularly. I will begin by saying that after over 25+ years of working in the restaurant industry as a second or third job, customer service -- now -- is a FAR cry from what it used to be!! What stood out here is that Johnny and Josh both went F-A-R above and beyond to help our family and to make sure that even our fountain drinks stayed full! They repeatedly come back to our table to check on us and made sure nobody wanted or needed anything! They were hands down THE BEST!!! And made our dining experience -- and our day -- absolutely wonderful! The restaurant industry definitely NEEDS a lot more staff members (managers) like Johnny and Josh! TheY are very RARE and truly made my family feel right at home and made our Mother's Day a lot more special! We are very grateful and will definitely be back because of their generosity and genuine care for the customer! read more

Place is nice and clean. Good food. Biscuits were great! Couldn't hear the cashier. Didn't know you got free biscuits and ordered them. Almost didn't get them and had to ask why we only got 4 on an order for 6. That's when they said they were complimentary and brought out the ones we ordered. But they are delicious so definitely worth ordering. The brisket, pulled pork and sausage were phenomenal. The Mac n cheese the Cole slaw and potato salad were great. Don't bother with the fries (dry and bland). We Will be back next year on our trip down to the Gulf. read more

On my first visit to Jim 'n Nick's here in Foley, everything was 10 out of 10! We ordered the Value Feast meal for Thanksgiving and were thrilled with it all...amazingly juicy smoked turkey with awesome flavor, the collard greens, cole slaw, and potato salad were all sensational, and the dozen cheese biscuits were fantastic! A truly memorable meal that we will definitely repeat again for Christmas! What a great first experience at Jim 'n Nick's! I used the drive thru and was amazed that I had the meal in about three minutes! Incredible service was the icing on the cake! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This was our first time. But it definitely won't be the last. This place has it together. We walked in ordered our food and picked a table. They brought our wings and queso and chips to our table. The wings were the best I've ever had. You can get several different sauces for them. Chips and queso had sausage in it and it was amazing !! They have a nice bar too. So if you want to take a date or get together with friends and have a drink. This is the place !!! read more

This review is for the wings! I haven't tried anything else. I wasn't sure if I would like the smoked wings as I prefer them being fried, but I was pleasantly surprised. The wings had a nice taste on the skin just wish they had a little crunch to them. Flavors: I chose the Buffalo and Honey Habanero BBQ Buffalo - too salty Honey Habanero BBQ - so SOOOO GOOD! You can either choose ranch or white sauce. White sauce is a mayonnaise base spiked with vinegar and black pepper. Provides a creaminess and tangy spice. I would definitely order again. read more

Jim & Nicks I held these guys at high expectations this evening and they did not disappoint! I lived 40 years of my life in Texas where BBQ is king oh how I miss the days of just pulling up to Rudy's BBQ and getting a turkey stuffed baked potato! I had been thinking of this potato all day and for just $11.88 for this size that I'll probably make breakfast with the rest in the morning... can't beat it around here! And to top it off I found a coke in the fridge that I had forgot about, I guess till the right time Thank you Jim 'n Nick's for making my day dream come true today read more

Great experience! Very cool atmosphere! My husband and son ordered the Boss Sandwich and absolutely LOVED it! It's been a week since we've eaten there and they still talk about how great it was! Husband rates it a 10/10! I had the brisket sandwich (as always) with corn on the cob both amazing! Corn was roasted and cooked perfectly with a Cajun spice. I added extra butter. Sweet tea was on point! Perfectly sweet southern tea. Daughter had the chicken sandwich and wasn't overly impressed. We all loved the little corn muffins served as soon as we sat down. I really wish there was a Jim 'N Nick's close to home! read more

My first time to dine at this location of Jim 'n Nicks in Foley, however, I have been a fan of this restaurant since the early 2000's. It's an order at the counter restaurant but you can be seated at the bar and order your meal there. There was lots of seating inside and out. We were greeted at the door and given a menu to look over while we waited in line to order. I enjoyed the classic pulled pork plate with baked beans and Mac &cheese and my husband had the classic spare ribs with baked beans and potato salad. I asked for extra BBQ sauce for the pork. I like the tangy, somewhat spicy flavor of the sauce. In addition, we both enjoyed the cheese biscuits that were included with our meal. So happy to have this restaurant in the area to enjoy! read more

This was the first time I've been here and it was great! I am a Southerner and I love BBQ. There is another BBQ place that I usually go to so I was skeptical. My daughter comes here quite often and she recommended it. I ordered the baby back ribs with slaw and corn and it was very good. The best thing were the little corn/cheese muffins! WOW! Sooo good! The service was also very good. We ate in the outside patio, but the server came out quite often and filled our water glasses. The babyback ribs were not "fall off the bone" but there was a lot of meat. Usually when I go to Foley, I go to Lamberts Cafe, but this one will be on the list now when I go over there. read more

While vacationing near Magnolia Springs we came across this place while traveling. For a drive through option or eat inside it was better than expected. So good in fact we came 2x in our weeklong vacay. I will say the consistency wasn't great in what you ordered time to time. Meats were really good. We got pulled pork, smoke turkey and a few tried the catfish as well the 2nd time. I personally loved the coleslaw, it was amazing the first day we ordered. Mustardy and a zing unlike any other I've tried. Second time it didn't seem as fresh and zingy. Their cornbread was SO good. Definitely get an order of that! My big complaint is there was no BBQ sauce with our order the first time. I don't like bbq swimming in sauce but you gotta have something to go with it! The next time we made sure to order inside and got sauce and checked our order before leaving the restaurant. Overall fast, reasonably priced BBQ, and delicious. I'd go again if we're ever in the area. read more
