We were on our way to New Orleans and Jim's seemed like the right place to stop for dinner. It was great. The employees were all so friendly and the place was very inviting. My husband got the burger and loved it. I loved the fish sandwich. We both got the jalapeno cheese bread, which is fresh and delicious. The fries are really great. Perfect stop in a drive or if you live nearby. read more

I've eaten here often. Literally pass every other restaurant, when ever I'm passing through. The staff is great. Very friendly staff. Always happy to help . Funny thing happened. One day I had just left Big Spring, with intentions on stopping in for lunch . Turned off the exit and realized the parking lot was empty. Only to remember they were closed on Monday. read more

I'm a truck driver and I have been passing this place for years and I finally took chance to find it oh my God this place is a hidden gem the ribs are the best ribs I've had from Texas and the loaded bake potato with brisket was off the chain good so much flavor oh my goodness I want to come back and try the catfish next I will be back it's five stars for me on jim bbq awsome and friendly service. read more

They did not give us our food, it was the worst service yet then there was no ambience, just yelling and do Hickory

The food was delicious and came out very quickly. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful, and the coleslaw was really good too. The BBQ sauce had a great flavor and paired perfectly with everything. The Texas toast was buttery and toasted just right, honestly better than the toast from a certain popular chicken restaurant. Overall, a great meal. read more

Great food, great people! Old school ambience. Will definitely stop in again when passing through the area.

Stopped by for breakfast got there right at 11:00 and the sweetest waitress I have ever met confirmed we could still get breakfast. Great local BB Q lots of business. It smells so good. Wish I had tried the BBQ. Smoked ham breakfast with all the trimmings and side of short stack with great ice tea. The ham steak was so flavorful and scrambled eggs lite and fluffy. Pancake was moist, fluffy and vanilla flavored just like I like them. The plates full of BBQ and fried catfish all around us looked delicious. read more

The meat itself was good, however the effort in the rest of the food seemed non existent. Comfy vibe inside, server Serenity was pretty aloof and asked us almost immediately if we knew what we wanted. Order was slightly wrong, received chopped beef instead of sliced, but good meat nonetheless. If you're traveling, maybe just wait until you hit the city to make it worth the money. read more

when coming back from Mississippi to Dallas, we've always stopped at this place, it's always been very good and my family has always loved it. I read some of these comments and to be honest with you I wouldn't listen to them. People have become very hateful and just say anything to try to destroy a place that's good. read more

We stopped here on the way back from Lafayette to DFW. 3 out 4 family members got sick. Also multiple people came in after us and received their food before ours was ready. Our servers were kind and attentive. Only 1 star because the kitchen can ruin your day. I had the loaded baked potato with pulled pork. I'm not actually sure it was much better than McDonald's which my daughters begged to visit. My wife had the pulled pork BBQ sandwich. We both were sick within less than an hour. My daughter had a simple burger with bacon, ketchup and mustard and got sick once we arrived home. read more

One word. TRASH!!! Some of the worst barbecue I've ever had. I think the locals obviously just need somewhere to converse.

Driving from Mt. Pleasant to NOLA and stopped in for lunch. Really enjoyed the pulled pork and everything else was good too. Service is excellent and friendly. Recommended. read more

The food has always been good, local hometown place to eat, most everyone knows everyone,

My roommate's went and one got a regular loaded potato and when it can out it was not a whole regular size potato but one that was cut in have vertically and was charge $5 for it. Plus it was not down all the way. I haven't been back in months and will not be. Seems like a lot of people I talk to get stomach aches right after they eat the and say prices are way to high for half way mediocre food. read more

Excellent service and delicious food! The interior décor is warm and inviting, making for a pleasant dining atmosphere. We're so glad we stopped in for a bite. We shared the Cajun catfish, which was perfectly seasoned and came with tangy pickled green tomatoes--absolutely delicious. The coleslaw was fresh and flavorful, a great complement to the meal. They even gave us togo cups for our drinks! What a lovely restaurant! read more

Pretty good find. The waitress recommended the bbq or fried catfish, but I was in the mood for a burger. Got a double cheeseburger and it was massive. Good bun and well seasoned meat, plus they had Tony Chachere's to add if you wanted! The fries were crinkle cut and pretty pedestrian. Friendly service and the food came out rather quickly. I would come back here if I were ever in the area again. read more

My family and I were headed home from out of town and decided to stop by here for some food. There was a young lady by the name of Jeanette who was extremely RUDE to my husband infront of myself and our children, then proceeded to roll her eyes as she walked away. We were given overcooked fries and rude service! We won't ever go back!!! read more

Jim's Bar-B-Que & Catfish - Overcooked and nasty! I do not recommend - Barbeque Near Me - Waskom, Texas

We eat here probably twice a week. Everything is so good. Everyone is so friendly. You just walk in and sit where ever you'd like.

A great place for a late lunch. Not crowded. Great service. Good food. I love their crushed ice!

Food was great. Had the chicken fried steak sandwich. Think it would have been better as a meal instead of a sandwich. Service was great. All the employees were friendly. Try the blackberry cobbler. It is the best. And they make it fresh everyday. read more

Food was fresh and amazing. Get the pint sides to get your money's worth. The others are tiny.

The was a last minute effort but man am I happy that we made the effort! Coming back from the casino and we are hungry but it's late so our options are limited. We are about to go into the burger place across the street when out of the corner of our eye we see an open sign at the BBQ pit. I stop a local and ask "how's the BBQ over there?" And they responded "I like it, it's what they are know for" - mmmm, thanks, but we decide let's give it a try. We walk in and there is NO ONE there but they welcome us and tell us to sit wherever we want. I ask, not a busy night? And she responds "we close in 10 minutes, but y'all take yalls time". Well I feel like a heel but order we did. He got a sandwich which came on a jalapeño bun. It usually comes with fries but they allowed him to substitute it for beans - which he said were delicious. I got the three meat plate with the link, ribs and beef. I got the Mac and cheese (and I can admit that I'm a MC snob and this was on point) and Cole slaw (which reminded me of the chicken chain that I like). I also ordered a blackberry cobbler to go as we were trying to get out if these folks eat so they could go home. The sandwich was HUGE, like we ate half and took half home, the meats were delicious and when I got home and dug into the cobbler, I wish I had ordered two!!! Overall this was a great stop and I've already told folks that they should put this spot on their list when traveling through the area. If it was like this near closing time, I can only imagine what it's like otherwise. read more

The food is absolutely amazing, I've had pulled pork, chicken and ribs and sausage from here before and all has been delicious. We make sure to go here every time we are in the area! read more

Ok Jim's BBQ! Y'all got me hooked. I just ran up there during my lunch break and grabbed a grilled chicken sandwich, it's simple but delicious! The chicken isn't rubbery like you get a fast food joints. And the fried are some of the crispiest ones I've ever had! Atmosphere was great and ladies seemed really nice. This will be my new spot for lunch on the weekends! read more

Catfish dinner was excellent. Green Tomato pickles were delicious. Service was excellent also. My daughter said Beef bbq sandwich was delicious. My husband said Pork bbq sandwich was delicious. read more

Stop here often. BBQ chicken is awesome and love their catfish. Staff is very friendly as well.

Five stars for the service, five stars for the atmosphere, I'm only giving three stars for the food because the brisket really wasn't what I expected. However it was extremely nice to hear people using yes ma'am and no ma'am, yes sir no sir. There is no place like Texas! Look, don't let my three star review keep you from going there. The barbecue is extremely good, unfortunately I set my barbecue standards a little too high lately. read more

Catfish sandwich was delicious! It had 3 fried strips of fish that were lightly fried on a standard bun with tartar sauce and chopped lettuce. We enjoyed the smoked ham sandwich (no toppings needed for the full flavor) which was another winner. Two can't miss sides were the cole slaw and Mac and cheese. Maria our server was friendly and gave us great food suggestions which we were all pleased with. Food came out all hot and fresh. Restaurant is one dining room with booths and tables in the middle. Families and groups were there in an open area with windows to the outside parking lot. Walls were donned with old Hollywood pictures and Texas items. This place is conveniently off the interstate. This was a past favorite restaurant stop years ago so we came back. It's still serves delicious food and lived up to what we remembered. We will be back when we come this way again. read more

We go here frequently for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. Have always been pleased with the food, ESPECIALLY the cheeseburgers on cheddar jalapeño buns. Staff is pleasant and helpful, especially Erin. Diner atmosphere. Get their cobbler for dessert!!!!! read more

Ok, this was an accidental visit that was the best luck ever! All of the places we had planned on eating on our trip across Texas were closed so, I saw the road sign and took the exit. We were greeted warmly and offered to dine in and we requested it to go. We ordered catfish dinner and a BBQ combo. Service was so friendly while we waited we decided to add a slice of lemon pie and that was another great choice! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Everyone we dealt with was very friendly and professional. The food is incredible, honestly nothing we ordered wasn't top notch! Incredibly impressed! read more

Waskom's best place to eat. We have eaten there a couple of times and had the catfish, burgers, ribs, onion rings and even an egg sandwich. They are good. Our favorite though were the Hush Puppies....the best we have had and cake like. Not a bad place to try. read more

Great service delicious fish meals! We drove from another city just to eat here. We always feel welcomed and everything is always fresh.

I'm so disappointed I've stopped here a couple of times in the past because i drive a semi truck and they have room to park and eat i ordered a combo bbq plate with brisket, hot links, pulled pork and it was very obvious it was fresh from the minute the waiter brought it out the brisket looked and tasted like a pot roast that was re heated the hot links were obviously sliced and reheated in a skillet or something very greasy and the pulled pork was very dry and tasteless the potato salad was pretty good and beans were good as well but meat was very disappointing for a BBQ restaurant i honestly hate writing a review like this but i wanted to be honest about it. read more

I probably would not have ever found this place were it not for the giant billboard on I-20, but my instincts told me it was a hole in the wall. Indeed, it is a modest establishment with the best BBQ I've tried south of KC. They know exactly which sauce to pair your ribs with and the sausage gravy should not be wasted (dip your fries in them!). I'd be doing a disservice if I didn't mention their jalapeño cheddar bun in this review. read more

The dinner we had here last night, I give 5 stars but if I could give more on the meal I would do so, we were able to park our truck next door in the dirt lot! Super Nice, here in Texas. They have BREAKFAST here too! We are about to have some of it. Ham and eggs, grits and biscuit breakfast. read more

Jim's Bar-B-Que & Catfish - The HAM was Delicious the eggs were good and the grits were good too, wish they had been a little thicker. - Barbeque Near Me - Waskom, Texas

Service was great!! BBQ flavor wasn't all that great but atmosphere and waitress make it okay.

Went here for breakfast with the family. When I walked in, the smokehouse smell was so good that I got a rib sandwich. Oh boy was it good. I enjoyed it so much that I talked about it all week and had cravings like crazy. Finally went back again a week later. Oh was it good. I can only speak to the pork rib platter but the meat was tender and juicy and had a great smoke flavor. The bones were a great size too. The Mac and cheese was also delish. The ball and chain had the chicken fried steak and he said it was very good. We had heard about the blackberry cobbler so we split one and it didn't disappoint. Yes they serve on styrofoam plates but I DONT CARE! I will be going back there. read more
