    Pulled Pork
    Ann K.

    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

    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!

    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. Urban Cowgill March 2022 updated May, July 2022, Oct 2023

    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.

    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.

    Wow- pick two... catfish and ribs.

    Cute little BBQ spot. We stopped on a road trip. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It came already…read moresauced which made it hard to taste the pork so I was a little disappointed in that. Also came with the slaw on the top - good. The pork was tender and well-trimed, but I didn't catch much smoke. We had a side of fries, they were nice and fat, but not super warm. We had a side of green beans. They were a little overcooked but had a nice flavor, with a slight bit of a pickled flavor. Good value for the price.

    If walls could talk, the ones at Johnny's BBQ would probably tell you they've seen more sauce…read morestains and first dates than anyone in Cullman. This place has been holding it down since 1963, and they've got the plaque to prove it, proudly posted as a member of the Alabama Barbeque Hall of Fame. When you walk in, it feels like you just stepped into a time capsule where calories do not count and everybody knows how to properly pronounce "slaw." The ambience absolutely screams old school BBQ joint. Wood paneling. No nonsense tables. The kind of place where you half expect your uncle to be in the corner arguing about college football. Now let's talk food, because that is why we're here. The pulled chicken? Outstanding. Tender, juicy, packed with flavor. It showed up ready to win. If it ran for office, I would vote for it. That chicken understood the assignment. The BBQ chicken had that beautiful crisped skin that makes you lean in like, "Oh yeah, this is about to be serious." But then it hit the plate a little under seasoned. The sauce was on the thinner side too. Not bad, just more "light drizzle at a picnic" than "bold backyard pitmaster energy." And let me take a moment to publicly thank the potato salad. Special shout out. Creamy, balanced, and clearly made by somebody's grandmother who does not measure anything and does not need to. All in all, Johnny's is a solid four stars. Historic, nostalgic, and when they hit, they really hit. I'll be back, mostly for that pulled chicken and potato salad combo that had me considering a second plate and a nap.

    Stopped for lunch one day while in Cullman. We missed the lunch rush, place was pretty empty…read more Server was very friendly and efficient. She appeared to be handling the whole front by herself, but made us feel like we were the only ones there. Decor is like that of a "RoadHouse" feel. Apparently they have live music on a posted schedule. Looked like that would be a fun time to visit. Options were standard southern style meat and three options or menu choices. Wife had vegetable plate, I had the pulled pork plate. Bar-B-Que was tender and flavorful. Not bad for a non specialist Bar-B-Que restaurant. 2 flavors of sauce on the table, a sweet and spicy sauce, either would be an excellent choice. There were only 2 meat options offered, don't know if that's the norm, or we were there so late after lunch they had sold out of other options. Will definitely be back there again. I would like to try and catch one evening with the live music is scheduled.

    Not bad but not great…read more Had the FGBLT (fried green tomato BLT). It's an interesting take on the traditional BLT. The bacon overpowered everything else. The fries are gross. Greasy with an odd sweet seasoning? Like paprika blended with sugar. Kiddo had the chicken club. He really liked it. The addition of pimento cheese was interesting in a good way. He did not eat his fries, this kid always eats his fries. I liked the vibe of the place, they do live music and that's cool. The service (or lack thereof) is the reason for the 3-star rating. Our server vanished. Never once checked on us, we had to wait 15 minutes after eating for our check. It was so bad that we had to wave down another server to finally get the check.

The melted cheese was cold. Well, it was all cold. I asked for some barbecue sauce because I did not see any on the plate. The sauce tasted like ketchup. My friend agreed. We pushed our plates aside. When the server, Morgan, came to our table to ask if we wanted dessert, we ordered the pecan pie alamode. It was wonderful. We were very surprised that she did not ask how our meals were. My friend and I agreed that we would tell Morgan our thoughts of the meal when she asks, "How was everything?". But she did not ask. Surprisingly, she didn't even say that she hoped we enjoyed everything. We were each charged 75 cents each for the tiny pods of sauce. Each of our tickets were $24. Yes we could have and most likely should have, shared our distaste for the taste and quality of our meals. Maybe Morgan doesn't like the food either. LOL! I hope this information is helpful.

Not wanting to wait until we got back to Birmingham to get some grub, we pulled off in Dodge City looking for a spot that had a few solid reviews. Alas, the place we sought was no longer around, and Jim B's BBQ was the only thing around that looked acceptable. We decided to take a chance on the place (even though the sign reads Jim B's BBQ, Steak and Seafood, and I typically steer clear of anyplace that claims multiple specialties that includes seafood). We might have skipped the place over, but I was hungry and as we pulled up, you could smell the BBQ in the parking lot. Being first-timers, the friendly waitress steered us to the Loaded Mushrooms (think loaded baked potato, but instead of a potato under all of that cheese and ranch and bacon, its fried mushrooms). They were as good as they sound. The prices were so cheap and the BBQ smelled so good, I decided to go all-in and got the BBQ sampler platter. My wife picked the pulled pork sandwich. Everything was great. The baked beans were even awesome (sweet and bacony), and I'm really not a huge bean fan. The BBQ pork had a good smoke flavor. The chicken was juicy. The smoked sausage was good and seemed to be very fresh. The ribs were a little dry, but they were very tender. To top it all off, with as much food as we ordered, our bill was just over $30 including tip. The dry ribs are the only thing keeping them from five stars on this visit. I'm probably spoiled by all of the good BBQ in the South, but I just can't give five stars to a BBQ joint unless all of the que is top notch.
