Tonight I tried a bowl of brisket chili. Oh my! The brisket was everything that I hoped that it would be and the spice was spot on. A nice tingle on your lips but not overpowering. I usually prefer Texas style with no beans but these beans were Goldilocks perfect. Not too hard and not too soft. A cup of this chili with a grilled cheese would the best of both worlds. A definite do over. read more

Jim 'n Nick's is a great spot! A very inviting, homey feel. The kind of place you want to eat good barbecue! I'm a bit of a pulled pork snob after living in North Carolina for several years, but it was pretty good. The sausage was very good, and I enjoyed the potato salad. Would definitely go back! Also, everything pictured is gluten free!! Highly recommended as the waitress was somewhat knowledgeable and the chef definitely knew what I could eat. read more

It's Jim 'n Nicks, so it isn't exactly the best BBQ that the area has to offer, but it's usually fine. This is really just a referendum on the drive-thru service. It took 30 minutes from the time we ordered at the drive-thru to the time we got to the window. Definitely (mostly) out of the restaurant's control, but there wasn't even a "sorry it took so long" or much an acknowledgement that we were there. Seriously, there's better BBQ around and if you must go here, don't go to the drive-thru! read more

Food was ok .. the wait staff seemed unsure of themselves and our waiter literally left the premises right after taking our orders.. which all had mistakes in it . I may come back again just to see if it gets any better read more

We got lunch delivered from here and it was so good! I got a 3 piece ribs and they were HUGE. See the pic, was not expecting ribs this big. They were juicy, smokey and fell off the bone. It came with Cole slaw and collard greens. Both sides were plentiful and flavorful. The collard greens were cooked soft and had bits of meat in it. The corn bread is close to being the best part of the meal, they were tender, crumbly, cheeses and lightly sweet. I wish I could order them to take home with me. read more

Love the atmosphere & food. Delicious and consistent. A must try over and over again.

Went here for lunch and walked away needing a nap. The cheese rolls are addictive, enjoyed the brisket and ribs. The waitress serving us was friendly and explained how everything was scratch made. Not the best bbq that I have had, but really good. The overall appearance of the restaurant was OK. If I go back, we'll not eat so much! read more

love the Mac and cheese! great tenders and ranch as well! our families quick night go to

This was our second time here and ordered something different. The turkey sandwich was very good, just wish it had more of the honey mustard sauce! Fries were slightly underdone but were seasoned well. The onion rings were delicious. They had a wonderful smokiness to them and a light batter. Usually I find onion rings to be heavy and oily, but these were not! Will definitely be getting these again. As always, the cheddar biscuits are amazing! 4 stars because service was more than slow and had to ask for things and missing a few points on stated above. Definitely a place to stop! read more

Food was great. Service was quick ambiance was ok. We just moved here and we will be back

Server was great. Food was ok. My food could have used some more seasoning. It was a little dry. Friendly atmosphere. Biscuits are tasty.

Oh my! They catered a lunch for my team and it was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be stopping in the restaurant for a meal on my next visit to the Nashville area. Sides included Mac n Cheese, baked beans, salad (with real bacon), and dessert was banana pudding. Meats we're pulled pork and chicken. I didn't get to try the cheese biscuits but they looked good. Co-workers munched on them as a 3pm pickmeup before dinner. Chicken had hardly any smoke at all and wasn't dry. Some places, their chicken is like shredded wheat. The pork did have a little smoke but it wasn't overpowering. Also not too dry. The sauce was flavorful and spicy. read more

Service is always great, foods delicious, servers are incredibly accommodating and kind

Server worked so hard. Excellent. Great bbq. Really enjoy and make it a plan to go whenever traveling through.

First time here even mentioned it and sadly made no difference. The food portion is not worth the price due to the quality of food I'd rather have gone to Barbcutie spend $40 for barely any portions and also how'd does a Barbecue place barely give you sauce for dry a"& food. Never returning here again. read more

Greens and muffins are not good like they used to be..I don't get it. Then greens have no flavor. Taste like vinegar and hot sauce.tyr muffins aren't ev en cooked all of the way!! read more

This bbq is so yummy! We always order takeout, so I can't attest to the service, but I have no complaints with this place. The Cheese biscuits are soft and delicious, the Turkey is fantastic, the brisket is flavorful, and the Mac n cheese is a fan-favorite in my house. I personally recommend the loaded potato. It's massive and filled to the brim. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Fantastic food with great flavor and excellent portion sizes. The brisket was my favorite and the onion rings were crisp, and fresh. Darren was our server and he was great! Just the right amount of attentiveness and such a positive attitude. We dined inside during this visit but they do also have a small patio area which is great for those perfect weather evenings. Casual booth and table seating inside and they do have a small bar area as well. read more

Horrible service! I saw a mouse. The food was cold in certain spots. The bathrooms were disgusting.

Delicious! This was my second trip to this location. We love the ambiance, the service and the food. Tonight, I also tried the not so naked potato. It was the largest potato I have ever seen. The portions are so large, I had plenty to take home. Would highly recommend this location! read more

Their food very good and temperature on food was perfect. But the customer service I received was basically nonexistent. I was never greeted the server acted like I was more of a burden to her than an actual paying customer. read more

My first time having Jim 'N Nicks and I wasn't that impressed. The brisket was a bit dry and the sides (mac n cheese and greens) lacked the depth I'm used to experiencing in good Tennessee BBQ. I will admit you won my one year old nephew over with the cheesy cornbread. I'll give you another try when I'm back in TN in the hopes of a better experience. read more

Stopped on a Monday night and got right in. Service was excellent and server was attentive. Biscuits were delicious, loved the brisket and Mac and cheese was perfect! Already planning my next visit. Highly recommend! Beef Brisket read more

It's Jim and nicks. It lives up to the hype. The cheese bread biscuits are dangerously good.

Called here before coming to make sure patio is open, got here about three hours after I called to be told the patio isn't open. Ended up getting takeout and was offered to eat in the patio area, just couldn't have servers going there. That was fine, but I don't like getting takeout since it generates a lot of trash and waste. In any case, I got the loaded mac and cheese with brisket, which came with two cheesy corn breads and sauce. The brisket wasn't very flavorful, and the mac and cheese wasn't anything amazing. The corn bread was probably the highlight of the meal. For $12.05 post-tax, the food was alright, portions were fine. read more

We love Jim 'N Nicks! There isn't one in my state but we take every opportunity when traveling by one to stop. This location is one of our favorites. Everyone who works here is so nice! Southern hospitality at its best. The food is amazing. I try to order something different every time and this time I had the brisket quesadilla and of course collards. It was so good. As always they have the best sweet tea. Love those biscuits! read more

Good food, service is ok. I will eat there again. Pleasant ambiance... it's not cheap. $$

We to Jim and Nicks once is awhile when we have a hankering for bbq. We normally go to the one in Franklin. Sometimes they're not that consistent but we ride it out because it's our go to for brisket. We decided to try the Smyrna location. Big mistake! My SO and I both got brisket with a side of fries and mac and cheese along with their peach cocktail. They didn't have makers mark to make it so we ordered another drink. The brisket gave us both a stomach ache. The mac and cheese tasted like it old and was very salty. The fries were soggy and cold. The lamp on the table were full of cobwebs. We should have trusted our instincts to have Thai when they told us it was a 45 minute wait. read more

The loaded Mac and cheese and cheddar biscuits were amazing!!! Friendly service and delicious food!

Best service in town Our watress was KK she is the best Food was very good Reasonably priced read more

We came here for a quick meal but we will not be back. The mashed potatoes were very old. In fact the comment was made did they scrap these off several other plate to make one order. While the portion was a good size the quality made them impossible to eat. The tenders we had were delusion and our sever was fast and efficient. This use to be a great place because their sides were always fresh but this is the third time that we have eaten here and the food was subpar. I hardly ever swear off a restaurant all together but this one has but the dust. read more

The most consistent bbq in middle Tennessee. We love the brisket salad and the cheese rolls are beyond yummy!

Really good service and BBQ. The atmosphere is great! I had the Carolina sandwich and my wife had the pulled chicken. Both were delicious and the corn muffins & honey butter are delicious!! read more

I usually don't have any issues...this time, on the 4th...ordered a lb of pulled pork and riblet small plate. Riblet small plate surprisingly a lot of food, and very good...the pulled pork, very disappointing. $15 for a tub of greasy fat. Out of all that, maybe enough meat for 1 1/5 sandwich. Called and spoke with manage and he was extremely nice and friendly and resolved issue. read more

So, my friends live in Smyrna and my long time friend's girlfriend lives nearby and he recommended this place because everything is made from scratch. My first evening in the Nashville area brought me here, especially since my Smyrna friends also brought this place up as a dinner option so it seemed promising. We walked in and were greeted very amicably and seated right away. Our waitress was really nice to us and was quick to respond with a suggestion or recommendation. Because of her I got the mashed potatoes with white gravy and I am glad I listened to her. The mac and cheese though was okay. However, the brisket was delicious, not the best I had but not the best that I've had. The sauce though was a really good and the pickles, I am NOT a fan of pickles were a great addition, it really made the flavor sauce stand out. The cheese biscuits were excellent and I think the four of us went through about three baskets of them. I was the only one who ordered a beverage, an Arnold Palmer and the fresh lemonade really stood out. You really can tell the difference between lemonade from scratch and Minute Maid. The latter is overpoweringly sweet and the former is a nice balance of sweet and tart. My friend ordered the pig in the potato patch. The stuffed baked potato and she really enjoyed it. How do I know this? The only thing left on it was the skin. I really have to mention the service again, we came an hour before closing time but we didn't even know it because they were so nice and attentive. We left thirty minutes after they closed but I didn't even know. A family came in after us and they were still very nice and attentive to them as well. I need to create a Nashville list just so I can include this place in it. read more

I can truly say that I am ashamed of myself for not stopping by before. I had the three piece chicken tender meal. That chicken! That chicken! That chicken! Was so good I had to pull over to finish eating. The sauce was homemade and wonderful awesome job. I do highly recommend this place to any and everyone what a friendly staff thank you read more

Good food...I was very surprised at the amount of food I received...I remember getting the breast quarters with mac n cheese and mashed potatoes... The service was great even though there was a wait through the drive-thru but good customer service makes it worthwhile... It felt so fattening going down...lol...but I guess that's good...have no issues with it...just want to go back and dine in to get a different experience read more
