The…read morebrisket was so tender it practically surrendered before I picked up my fork, and the appetizers should probably have their own fan club. The real MVP, however, was Justin, our server. He kept the adult drinks flowing, anticipated our every need, and delivered such great service that I'm convinced he has barbecue-related superpowers. Between the fantastic food, friendly atmosphere, and Justin's outstanding hospitality, this was less of a meal and more of a religious barbecue experience. Five stars--and an extra biscuit for Justin! I have traveled throughout the South and Jim &Nicks is hands down the best Barbeque. EVER! Now if Alabama could only beat the Buckeyes in football, Justin would say Roll Tide more convincingly! All joking aside, this place is the best!

I prefer the bbq sauce a little thicker but it was very tasty. Ended up eating the sandwich with a fork because the sauce made the bun too soggy and there was a huge pile of meat.

When I am in the mood for the best BBQ Butt in town, I go to Archie's Bar-B-Q off HWY31 in Hoover…read more Coming in the backside from Lorna Road is the best route in traffic. Unfortunately Archie's not convenient for me, so I don't get to Archie's nearly enough. But I know where to go when it counts! I purchased 4lbs of inside and outside mixed meat today, and a quart of sauce with extra pickles. Everyone eating all said the same thing. Delicious ! The ole fashioned home-made fried Apple and Peach pies remind of my grandmother's, she used to make these fried pies for the "Real" Original Golden Rule in Irondale when it was across the street, from the current Irondale locations many years ago. The beans and coleslaw are also excellent. I think Archie's may have some of these vintage photos inside if my memory serves. I grew up with my grandad standing me on the kitchen table as a toddler while he made up the original Golden Rule BBQ Sauce in gaint pickle jars. The jars was bigger than I was. I still have this original Golden Rule sauce recipe that Archie's uses. They do an excellent job! Nothing has changed at this location but the name. Still the best BBQ in town. The complete package. The servers always do a great job, those that take and fetch to go orders from the parking lot are really efficient. The only constructive advice I would give is this owner, is to Keep Up The Work ! And get setup for delivery! So how some way! Somehow being able to pay online so pick ups can be made by others for delivery. Double your business!

First I love in the interior. It was clean and spacious and the natural love made me happy. I got the 1/2 chicken plate with collard greens and coleslaw. The chicken was delicious. Cooked to perfect and it was coming off the bone with my fork. The cornbread was phenomenal. I usually don't like cornbread because it can be dry but let me tell you, Rodney's was far from it. I wasn't a big fan of the collard greens but still that did not stop me from enjoying everything. The staff were very nice and I think about the days of coming back.

Food- I ordered the pulled pork sandwich sauce on side, and onion rings. The pork was rather dry and plain in flavor. The barbecue sauce lacked viscosity and tasted like warm ketchup and vinegar. The onion rings were bland , and saturated with grease; but did come with a sauce that complimented them. Price- considering that onions are a cheap vegetable and pork is less than $2.00 per pound wholesale. I cannot justify almost $16.00 for this lunch. Breakdown a pound of onion rings cost $1.00 6-8 ounces of pork maybe $1.00 Bread .50. No mystery here why folks are tired of overpriced food in 2026. It is not inflation. It is the overhead that a business owner must absorb.
