Food was delicious! We ordered takeout. Waitstaff helpful and friendly. Food was ready quickly.

Holy "cow" the service was slow on the evening we went there, almost as if they didn't have enough staff to work the store and on top of that my baby back ribs tasted like a salt lick you leave out for your live stock animals, which I guess is fitting for Cullman. Overall the service here has dropped so bad I don't see how they can stay open. Will definitely be our last visit. read more

Grabbed lunch quick after church on Sunday heading into Huntsville. A few miles off 65, but nicely located with parking. Busy but not wait. Hot and fresh cheese muffins with butter were waiting for us when we arrived! The crunchy ice is my FAV with unsweeet tea. I get the same thing every time I go (turkey salad) and it did not disappoint. The fiancé mixed things up a little and got the loaded mac with brisket! It was tasty but the portion was pretty small for a grown man. He helped finish my meal (as always) and ate a few extra cheese muffins to tie him over. Waitress was super sweet and Eve got us some tea and waters for the road trip! Clean bathrooms and friendly staff. Will definitely be back! read more

All the food was great. The best bbq I've had in Alabama so far... besides Perfect Timing Bar and grill who has the best pulled pork I've had. The mac and cheese was delicious very cheesy. The brisket was very tender and I do like the sauce. Thank goodness because they put it on for you lol the beans were great the onion is a nice touch. The lil cheesy biscuits are bangin . The service was great , our waitress was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere is very clean and classy , I'm into it. I'll be back read more

We showed up about a half hour before the restaurant was closing and they were extremely welcoming for us to come in and eat. It had been an extremely hard day so I'm glad that they were so accommodating. The host and wait staff were absolutely phenomenal. I don't remember our waitress name but she was absolutely amazing! I got the pulled pork baked potato and it was one of the greatest things I've ever eaten! The brisket nachos were phenomenal as well. And the other guys got the chicken tenders and catfish and they said everything on their plate was phenomenal as well. 11 out of 10 I would recommend this place. The food was amazing, the staff was amazing, and the whole restaurant had a chill vibe to it. Sorry I didn't get any pictures of the food I was too hungry and it was too good. read more

We love the food and service so much so that we ordered quite a bit for our family Christmas gathering. After my husband picked the order up, the restaurant realized they had left our ham out and called us. Without hesitation, they offered to bring the ham to our home. I told him we lived out on Smith Lake and he said no problem, I'll send someone out. Within no time, a delicious smelling ham was delivered. Best customer service ever!! Well done Jim 'N Nick's!! read more

My wife and son wanted to try a place that they had never tried before, so we decided on Jim 'N Nick's. I've ate at the one in Huntsville a couple times and had good experiences both times, so I was hoping Cullman's restaurant would be the same way. We were not disappointed!! We arrived around 7pm and were seated immediately. The place was busy, but not overcrowded. The setting was casual and very welcoming. Our waiter was awesome, friendly, and very helpful, but unfortunately I can't remember his name. He took our drink orders and we also ordered the queso dip with pulled pork as an appetizer. He quickly returned with our drinks along with some cheese biscuits and took our regular food order. Not too much longer our appetizer came out order. My wife ordered the loaded Bar B Q Baker with pulled pork, my son got the same thing, but added a side of mac and cheese, and I got the Joe's O.G. Turkey Sandwich with fries. We had barely finished the appetizer before the food was delivered to us and every single bit of the food was delicious that we could eat. The meals were very filling! We had a wonderful experience here and definitely plan on returning so we can try some other menu items! read more

Food was good. Had salad it was fresh with homemade dressing. The cornbread muffins are great. My husband had ribs really enjoyed them

2nd time in the past two months. I went back for the sliced briskets and it excellent once again.

Jim n Nicks has a decent menu and I believe they stay within their wheelhouse of what they can do well. The salads are fresh prepared and the various smoked meats are always good. I've heard the wings are good but have never had them. The bartender Jason was super friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and organized. We had the ribs and loaded baked potato both were plentiful and service was super fast. Isabelle kept our glasses full and did a great job on keeping us happy. Update July 2022 - We sat at the bar and had a good lunch. Pig in the garden is always good. Service and food was good. Staff very friendly as usual. Update Oct 2023 - We visit at least once a month and sit at the bar where Jason the best bartender takes care of us. I finally tried the wings and while they tasted good (honey habanero) they didn't have the heat a chili head like myself likes On the negative side a couple of them were a touch undercooked. Def do not want to see pink inside a chicken wing. Ordered as crispy I assume they just missed that. I'll definitely be going back.

We stopped here on a road trip home from Florida. Was looking for barbecue instead of having fast food. This place was a fantastic choice. Thought we would just split a combo meal with turkey, pulled pork and sausage with cheese and jalapeño. Came with two sides, so we each had an ear of corn. Then at the last minute my husband decided to add a slab of ribs. Our server was really sweet and on her game. The food was delicious If you're from up North, you could say this place was like City Barbecue meets Logan's. All of the barbecue was amazing. The rolls were super tasty and the corn was great. We ended up taking most of the ribs to our hotel for a snack later. read more

Just spent $70 worth BBQ and not 1 oz of sauce was I n the order. All meat no sauce. The sauce must be a add on.

The food was fantastic, but the service really stole the show. The entire team is amazing. We've had a few different servers lately, and they've all been wonderful, but Alana was our last waitress, and she was incredible. The food is delicious, but the staff here is truly unbeatable. read more

The food was mid, and our waiter lily was rushing us out of the place. Did not get a refill once and the cup was all ice no drink. When asked for a refill to she provided a to go cup even though the table was still eating. Very dissatisfied with the place. read more

Terrible service! Waited over 30 minutes at the bar and not even offered a drink, and when I said something to the manager about the lack of service, she did not say or do anything to make it right. Would have taken one minute to pour a beer. We were seated and never even received water before walking out. Avoid this establishment at all costs. Addition: I bumped my one star rating up to three stars because they reached out to me afterward and wanted to make it right, and I think that's pretty cool. Also, their brisket baked potato is pretty darn good. read more

We are traveling and stopped here on our way to our destination. The host and server were both attentive and friendly. We started off with the cheese mufffins and honey butter that were served warm and delighted our pallets. My MIL ordered the smoked turkey sandwich and even though she said it was too much to eat, it was too delicious for her to stop. I had a brisket sandwich with collard greens. I don't get collared greens where I come from and happily gobbled them down. The brisket was tender and delicious. My spouse had the brisket platter. He also loved his meal. The coleslaw seemed dry, not much flavor, but the beans were a good blend of sweet and spicy. A couple of topped off our lunch stop with chocolate and coconut pie slices. The chocolate texture was different than I expected and the pile of whipped cream on top was wonderful. If we are ever near one of these restaurants again, we would definitely dine again. read more

Great food and great portions! I had the pick 2- catfish and ribs. I am taking three ribs home. The cheesy corn muffins are amazing- I am buying a sack of mix to bring home.

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q - Wow- pick two... catfish and ribs. - Barbeque Near Me - Cullman, Alabama

Reason for 3 for food is that quantity in the meat is very small portion size. Size of sides is ok. I got a burger with baked beans and potato salad. Burger was the size of a regular burger at McDonald's but tasted good. Baked beans were excellent potato salad was not real good. Kids meals were of good size. Daughter got the nachos they we just ok they did not put their barbeque sauce on there and they did not offer you sauce with them just the queso. If I lived here I would visit once or twice a year. read more

I've been to this Jim N Nicks a few times. Every time I've been there, they are out of food items, short on staff, and slow service. Food is good, but it's not your typical Jim N Nicks experience read more

Great food, wonderful service & pleasant dining. We visit often. We love the loaded potatoes or the BBQ plates.

The food is practically orgasmic, especially the rolls. The service is immaculate and it has a wonderful atmosphere. It is a little pricey so if it's your first time dining here, I would recommend the lunch fare. It's the same food as the dinner menu for a little less money. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Their smoked sausage is probably the best I've ever had read more

The food is consistently good. One of my favorite BBQ places. Jason and Ethan are always great with friendly service. Nice clean restaurant. Big portions. The only thing I don't like there is the banana pudding. We always get the onion rings. Yummy. read more

Jim 'N Nick's Barbecue is one of the best establishments I've ever eaten at. The first time I went there was on a Sunday, and I was immediately greeted by smiling faces and positive attitudes when I'd walked through the doors. I'd ordered the pulled pork sandwich and ate every last crumb of it, and I got a bite of my friend's brisket, which was equally if not even more delicious.Overall, it's an amazing place that I believe everyone in Cullman should be able to experience. read more

The ribs are not good, the pulled pork is ok, and the chicken tenders are good. I will never understand why people think this is great bbq.

We were visiting family and wanted some southern BBQ. The inside was clean and trendy ie rustic aesthetic. The menu isn't too large but big enough that anyone could find a dish they would like. My husband got the brisket sandwich and said it was really good. We got onion rings, they were ok not great. I got a baked potato-- nothing fancy or worth writing home about. Overall I would say this was ok but I would rather find a hole in the wall place. This felt very "chain" like. read more

Great food always! No matter what Jim and Nicks I visit it's always good! Pick whatever you want on the menu and you won't be disappointed! I had the smoked chicken nachos and my daughter had her usual chicken fingers. As she puts it,"why change what I like?" Ok, agreed! I love these nachos! For a bbq place, they leave the Mexican joints in the dust! But, as I said, everything here is fantastic! Grab a couple of those cheddar muffins they go quick!!! There's plenty of a great selection at the bar if you're thirsty. Never ever pass by a Jim N Nicks if you're hungry, you won't be disappointed!! read more

While this maybe a chain restaurant, the food was truly outstanding! My wife had the brisket and I have the quarter chicken with the white bbq sauce. The white bbq sauce was absolutely amazing. The cheddar corn muffins were wonderful too. The thing that really made it for me was the bbq corn on the cob, it is doused with the white bbq sauce and was simply phenomenal! Highly recommend if you're traveling in the area. read more

I have regularly visited Jim n nicks for years. The service has improved but the value for what you get has severely decreased. The food isn't bad, but there's not enough of it for what you're paying. Cost of goods went up, but not to the extent of what they're charging now. read more

It's been a while since eating at this location of Jim 'N Nick's, but the service and food were excellent along with the expected relaxed atmosphere. My wife and I both ordered BBQ salads with pulled pork. Portions were generous and perfectly prepared. The wait at Jim 'N Nicks is seldom long and today was no exception. Highly recommend this location. read more

Great food & great service every time. Sweet tea is my daughter's favorite. I love the beef brisket chili.

Very disappointed.... we were so glad to see they were open again, use to love the brisket but this time around their brisket was All fat.... hardly any meat! We placed a to go order on the way to smith lake for our family and we were unable to eat the meat. Definitely use to be a lot better. It was terrible! Not sure if we will go back! read more

This place always has great smoked brisket. The staff here are always friendly & the place is clean.

Right in and right out - excellent service and the good food you expect when dining from JnN.

The food never disappoints. Hot cheddar biscuits to start and great BBQ. Today's highlight was the service! Jason went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of. Drinks stayed full, food came out fast and he was super friendly! He even went out of his way to find me after I had left and left my check card! Thanks Jason!! read more

Ive been a fan for a long time. I go to Jim N Nicks every time I have to go to Birmingham. This being the first time Ive eaten at Cullman establishment, here are my observations: Ambiance is good ol Jim N Nicks! No surprises. Getting there just before 12pm I assumed it would be slammed. It was instead about half full. Considering there are tons of restaurants to choose from, it didnt worry me. I appreciate the small lunch menu which is very manageable and ensures efficient service. The waitress was very pleasant, attentive but not hovering. I ordered the classic pulled pork sandwich with fries. The cheese biscuits were delicious as always, but it took an unusually long time to get them. I was worried they'd be served with entree. The waitress was probably getting a little upset with the kitchen staff because she dropped in to promise me they'd be out soon. Then the food was served. The fries... uggh. Dried out like the'd been sitting under a heat lamp. They absolutely were not fresh. The pulled pork was good. It needs one of the sauces to better than good since it was a little bland. In the end I was not charged for the fries which an entirely acceptable solution. It would have been too much food anyway Overall: Great staff, kitchen needs tuning up. read more
