Great food and friendly service. The new pimento cheeseburger and the burnt ends were fantastic. Traditional Texas brisket just salt and pepper rubbed. read more

Sometimes you have to just try a place out first! I have driven by Jim's for over 5 months without stopping in and as a barbecue lover and aficionado, you would think I would know better. But alas, my taste buds got the better of me and so I ended up stopping in for a carry out. Jim's, at least this location, is a spacious restaurant with plenty of parking. The takeout counter is located behind the bar and the day visited, it was packed like a party. I ordered the wings, the trio appetizer and a brisket sandwich. The brisket was the highlight of the meal, tender and smoky. The wings were also fire and the onion rings were huge. The meal came to almost $50 but it was worth it. I will probably skip the appetizer the next time but other than that, it was a great experience. read more

Terrific lunch today. Not wanting to eat heavy at lunch but uncertain what dinner looked like, we sat down and had a nice lunch in a very clean atmosphere with a very pleasant server. Being a barbecue place and proud of their brisket I went with the two meat combo, including brisket and pulled chicken. By recommendation of our server, she suggested we go with the marble brisket, and I must say that selection was outstanding. Arguably the best brisket I've ever had, and I've had and a lot of it. It truly did melt in your mouth. Plenty of meat and plenty of flavor. Not to be out done, but the pulled chicken was also equally fabulous. Very moist very tasty. The meal kicked off with buttered biscuits. Those were outstanding. They'll also bring you more if you want. But watch it they're not exactly low-calorie. With the combo meals, you get a couple of sides and I went with the coleslaw and beans. Being a fan of coleslaw I thought it was quite good. It was juicy and fresh. The beans were also good. The manager and we met and we're happy to let him know. We had a terrific experience. read more

Smokey smell was fabulous upon entering but, I'm "on the fence" about the brisket that I had on my loaded baked potato. The potato itself was huge. It was the pepper on the brisket that was too heavy and since it was at the end of the evening, I believe I may have gotten the end of the brisket. I've had good and great brisket before and this one was in between. A bit dry and I took three bites and each one had a chunk of fat. Mind you, I love a flavorful piece of meat with some fat (fat being the best part sometimes) but it was just tasteless fat with no meat attached.... Enough about that. Besides, the waitress Brandi was the best! Sweet and attentive, she was most helpful and kept our drinks full and brought us to go cups without us even asking. Folks here were very nice and that goes a long way for me!! read more

Whew I can finally update my review because I really want this place to be better. There has been a management change and it shows!!! Food orders to go are no longer missing items! I still love the outdoor covered patio. read more

The BBQ itself is a step up from everything else we have in the Bay Area. The sauce: tasty and not overly sweetened. The spicy was the best. As for the BBQ; The brisket, was tender and moist. Thr Burt-ends, weren't dry, had a lovely smoke to them. The ribs were tasty, and the chicken (although a bit dry, had a nice smoke and was seasoned perfectly. Now, the sides; all of which need work. There isn't a side dish that I can say is worth any calories over. I'd recommend getting the bbq and pairing sides with what you have in your fridge. Thr overall experience was decent for the price point. If I go back, I will only à la carte only. read more

Had a great dinner, our server was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The food was fabulous as always! The Nachos are my favorite, and the little biscuits are to die for. Overall a great place, can't wait to go back and try one of their desserts. read more

Although I do wish Jim N Nick's offered a lunch menu that was smaller portion and lower price, the food here is worth every penny. High quality, perfectly cooked meats and fresh cut watermelon as a side was superior. The little corn muffins are to die for. Management came up to check on us a couple times and make sure everything was good and I appreciated that. We will be back and eat at this beautiful bar area, the drinks served at the bar look awesome. Well done Jim N Nick's! read more

Great BBQ with large portions This restaurant is located at 147 Traders Way in Pooler, Georgia, just off I-95 near the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. It's location makes it a convenient stop for travelers heading north or south. It's part of a chain known for Southern-style, slow-cooked barbecue. Their menu shows that they feature brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and ribs. Access was easy with a straightforward entrance from the main road, and there was plenty of parking in the lot surrounding the stand-alone building. We didn't need a reservation and were greeted promptly by a friendly host who seated us quickly in a booth. The menu is a single 2-sided tri-fold page packed with lots of options, including meats by the pound, platters, sandwiches, salads, and a variety of sides like mac and cheese, greens, potato salad, and cornbread muffins. Portions are really large, so come hungry or be ready to get a to-go bag so you can have extra meals later. I ordered the baby back BBQ ribs, which were good and tender but had a unique smoky flavor profile different from what I'm used to. The tea was excellent. The staff was very pleasant throughout, checking in without being overly obvious. The restaurant was clean with a mix of booths and tables. Prices were definitely reasonable given the quality and the generous amount of food we each got--a full meal with sides came in under $20 per person. Overall, I would recommend this to fellow travelers in the area looking for solid Southern BBQ in a relaxed setting. Enjoy! read more

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q is a well known bbq restaurant chain. But I will say the food is always good. This particular restaurant is located along the Pooler Parkway. It is close to First Watch and the business center that has Chicken Salad Chick and Smoothie King. It has a large parking lot to accommodate vehicles. We did not dine in, we ordered using their convenient drive thru. It was easy to read the large menu and order. I will not say that it was quick. But I did not expect it to be. There were multiple cars in front of us. Our food was given to us in a manageable amount of time. I was not disappointed. When I read the menu I saw they had a family meal option! This is something I will definitely try next time. It is certainly great for meal prep or your family for the price with the options provided. Check it out! read more

Jim N Nicks perfectly smoked turkey with extra smokiness I got the original barbecue sauce it has a nice little kickback with two sides of baked beans. The baked beans are very flavorful and Smokey; there's some pulled pork and chopped chilies in the beans. For drink I got a Mr. Pibb and my partner got a old fashioned. Our server, Brandy- let me tell you she's ultimately the best! She's super nice and has that southern charm and hospitality. Jim and Nicks is really good! 10/10 read more

Wow. What a great experience here today. Came here for lunch and had the best experience. We sat at the bar with Vanessa serving us. She was on point with everything. Service, food recommendations and was so friendly. During our meal the new manager came around to check on things. I was blown away by how well everything was. Food portions were huge,prices were fair and the place was spotless!!! Do yourself a favor and stop by. read more

Pulled pork was delicious , although I did't care for the sauce ( to each his own) the potato salad was ok and the Cole slaw was very tasty. The cornbread was hot and great with the butter. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The service was great !food came out very quick,no long wait. The ambiance was very casual. I would recommend this restaurant!!! We enjoyed and didn't mind paying for the food and service. read more

Jim 'N Nicks in Pooler, GA is a great franchise! I love how consistent and fantastic this chain is... it's like comfort southern for me! I highly recommend their Mac & Cheese. It has a slight after kick, (not spicy heat) and it's addicting! Their iced peach tea is always delicious and so are their cheese biscuits... ummm they are dangerously good! I will say that their chopped southern salad was a little mid??? It wasn't as fresh as I'd like (maybe bcs the greens were room temp and not cold). Still good with ranch and smoked chicken! read more

In Savannah visiting an Army buddy and recommended this barbeque spot. Small outdoor seating available. Bar seating available. Drive thru available. The pre meal muffins was delicious! I want to say cheddar muffins, soft n yummy The Loaded Mac & Cheese, very gooey, cheesy yummy in the tummy. Topped with pulled pork, covered in the barbeque sauce. It was a homerun for me. Awesome, friendly staff. Overall, great place for barbeque and a good time. read more

It was not typical Jim and Nick's quality. Mom and I happen to be in Pooler, looking for something easy to take home for dinner. I lived in Birmingham for nearly 15 years, so I am very familiar with Jim and Nick's. The food at the flagship and the one in Birmingham's Five-Points area was always reliable and well prepared, but it wasn't my local go-to 'que. When I see oak logs stacked outside, I know there's good barbecue inside. J&N has oak stacks. We drove through. I got the brisket and asked for a mix of lean and fatty slices. What I got was an ounce of fat and maybe two ounces edible meat. It's was very tasty, though. And the greens were delicious. I was disappointed. I probably should have checked the order before driving off, but I really shouldn't have to, right? I'm just gonna chalk it up as a bad drive-through experience, and will go to the Savannah restaurant for a sit-down meal in July once they've opened and gotten out any new-restaurant kinks they may have. read more

My first time and definitely not my last. I have the catfish platter with baked beans, potato salad and half of a jalapeño sausage. Really, Really Good! The catfish was seasoned and fried perfectly. Our waitress was outstanding and the cost was reasonable. The ambiance was cool, spacious and comfortable. #LovedIt read more

My mom had a taste for barbecue last night, so I found Jim 'N Nick's through a quick google search. My mom absolutely loved the food. She had the pork sandwich with the potato salad and baked beans. My personal opinion was the food was flavorful, but I felt like something was missing. Still overall a great experience. The cheddar biscuits were surprisingly very good, and I enjoyed the baked beans. I think my issue was that I'm more of a charcoal barbecue person than smoked. I still think it is well worth trying if you're in the Pooler area and like smoked barbecue. read more

As a vegetarian that came here with a group of meat-a-tarians. When you walk in you are hit with the aroma of BBQ meats. ImI ordered cheese fries & a side of Mac & cheese. I didn't want a salad (judge me I don't care lol). The cheese fries were pretty good although they had just a bit too much salt. My Mac & cheese didn't come so I don't what it tastes like. Everyone else ordered chicken wings and some ordered brisket. Everyone enjoyed their food. The service was ok. The waiter forgot my Mac & cheese but he was otherwise attentive.I would recommend this place to any vegetarian that happens to find themselves here lol. read more

Food was good. Service sucked. Ordered to go. Waiting over 20 mins and half my order was wrong. Chili bowl was half filled and added the cheese that I asked not to add. Missing the Mac & Cheese. Called to complain and went back. Acted like I was a bother. Once right, got to go back to the hotel and eat my cold onion rings and other food. My fault for not checking before leaving. But you should not have to. Wish I had my tip back! read more

The food is great, but DO NOT GO THROUGH THE DRIVE THROUGH!!! We were the second car in line and had to wait over twenty minutes, so you know they were there a lot longer. For one bag of food. And I think it only came out when it did because I called the restaurant to find out WHY we were having to wait so long! Plus I had to call twice because they put me on hold then dropped the call. Before you call me "Karen", I was very nice to the woman on the phone - both times. Get home - 30 minutes away - and no 1/2 dozen breads that I ordered! WoW,! read more

Lunch was great, love coming when on break to get a quick bite to eat. The staff is pleasant and management is very attentive and helpful.

I didn't have high hopes coming in because our table was dirty and they had to clean it for us. Besides that the food and the service was excellent. Our waitress was awesome! read more

Had to have a large (20 people) lunch provided on 3 days notice, called J&N because I usually go there once a week. Didn't figure I could have it catered on such short notice so I ordered a 2 Go order 3 days in advance instead. Order was ready as they said at 11am and was picked up as such. Brought it all back to set it up for the lunch for the engineers and management personnel. Surprise!! All meat containers had meat inside but were all wrapped in saran wrap, so I'd unwrap one, wash my hands, unwrap another, wash my hands and so on. I did this for every pan of food. This was pain in butt. Surprise # 2...Food was luke warm to cold, mac and cheese was like a hardened brick ( not edible ). Even my favorite favorite baked beans were cold !!! Oh Yeah, We get a big tray of salad and even plates to dish food out but....you know, forks would have been an added pleasure don't you think?? Ever try eating baked beans with your fingers?? Never again, never, ever, ever again!!!!! A serious waste of $700.00 So does anyone really think I would recommend Jim and Nicks for a good meal. Yeahhhh, what do you think the answer is???? read more

Jim 'n Nick's Bar-B-Q is a great chain barbecue restaurant that offers a great menu full of tantalizing barbecue items and one of the highlights of their menu is their Alabama white sauce. If you are unfamiliar with Alabama white sauce, it is a wonderful barbecue sauce with a mayonnaise base. It is great on both chicken and pork. Jim 'n Nick's Bar-B-Q is a chain restaurant that started back in 1985 in an old pizza restaurant on Clairmont Avenue in Birmingham, Alabama. From that humble beginning, it has since expanded through six states and over forty locations throughout those six states. This in itself is pretty impressive. Any restaurant with that many locations is doing something right. Our server was definitely friendly and professional. This definitely added to my overall experience. I went with their chicken dinner and it was very good, especially when you take into consideration that it is a chain restaurant. The overall ambiance and vibe was fun and upbeat. If you are in the general area and craving barbecue, I would definitely recommend Jim 'n Nick's Bar-B-Q. read more

This place has excellent bbq. Service was great, prices were very good for the portions you get. Will return when in Pooler.

I love this place. Get the Mac and cheese brisket balls, they are so freaking good. But really everything here is delicious.

We had been driving for over 10 hours to get to our hotel in Savannah, GA. When I looked ahead and found this Jim 'N Nick's close to the hotel I knew what I wanted for dinner. About 20 minutes out we placed our online order for pulled pork bakers and cheesy muffins. Our order was ready when we arrived and "checked in" and was brought straight to the car. Once checked in to our hotel we enjoyed our bakers - I had asked for extra bacon and they definitely delivered. However the extra sauce we asked for was not included. The pulled pork, sauce, potato, and muffins were as good as I hoped. read more

Great food and service. Try the loaded bbq potato it is amazing! Give it a try, you won't regret it.

Love the bbq sandwiches Brunswick not so great wait time at the drive thru a littlest slow

Great food! And great service!!! Best brisket in town!! When I'm in the area I always stop here!!

We ordered 5 pounds of BBQ for the 4th and it was just shy of $100. When I got it home, I had no BBQ sauce and it was swimming in grease wrapped in plastic! I've never seen BBQ prepared this way I would've expected better paying that much money. At least they should've given us some sauce. I live 45 minutes away so I couldn't just go back there for sauce. Highly disappointed! read more

unhealthy environment. Servers was coughing with colds. Walked out because I didn't see how the food couldn't be contaminated.

I wish I could give them a 10, the food was out of this world great. Had the combo plate with brisket and catfish with collard greens. It was unbelievably great. My wife had the nacho platter and there was enough there for two people to ear. Makayla was an outstanding waitress, great personality. Great to talk to an outstanding server. You can't go wrong with this place. read more

As a man who is not a fan of chain BBQ restaurants, I MUST SAY, that this place is WORTH IT! I service and the food are always great. And I ALWAYS get the brisket and potato salad and collard greens, and tonight, my partner got the pork Mac and cheese. You can never go wrong with anything here! I was going to take a photo of the food, but we were so excited about the food that we only remembered that we forgot to take a picture when the food came out. The picture attached should speak for itself, though. read more
