    Trio sliders
    Carl T.

    Once again this place does not disappoint. We tried the pulled pork sandwich/slider, chicken slider, and brisket slider. Bbq sauce pairs well with the sandwiches, not too sweet and smokey. The banana pudding convinces you that grandma is in the back making it. The meats from every sandwich were well seasoned, smoked, so juicy, and packed with flavor. Their baked beans give bushes a run for its money! The price to amount of food you get is very reasonable.

    Pulled chicken sandwich

    Good lunch spot! I came by for lunch on a Saturday around 11:15am. I ordered a chicken sandwich plate which came with 1 side and 1 drink. I added 2 additional Sides. I got a pulled chicken sandwich, Mac n cheese, baked beans, and coleslaw. The chicken was a bit dry and chewy but the flavor was good. The Mac n cheese was good! The coleslaw also lacked a lot of flavor but was crisp/fresh.The baked beans though were outstanding! The beans had some pulled pork in them and a delicious bbq flavor. The beans are worth coming back for. I was bummed they didn't have any tea ! The drinks are cans of soda.

    Bone in chicken, obviously no one wasted time.

    I reached out to Pirate's Pit via Facebook to see about catering our associate holiday party. The very first interaction to the last was very prompt, informative and pleasant. The food is out of this world delicious. Ribs literally fall off the bone when you pick them up. Banana pudding cake, omg just take me on out!! Seriously, SO GOOD!! We also had mac and cheese, baked beans, bone in chicken, and pulled pork. Everything, down to the bbq sauce was just remarkable.

Veggies and side Turnip greens Mashed potatoes Mac and cheese Cabbage Corn Rutabaga Pinto beans Green beens Rice Entrees Spaghetti Baked chicken Fried chicken Pulled pork Fried fish Buffalo Bites Chicken and Dumplings Chicken livers Also turnip soup Salad bar Rolls, cornbread and a bunch of desserts. One interesting thing is that while it is all you can eat, they serve it cafeteria style. So you tell them what you want and they put it on the plate. This must have changed since COVID. You used to be able to serve yourself. The food is good, but it taste like someone is cooking scared. Nothing had any seasoning. Nothing popped with flavor. No smoke on the pulled pork (I got outside meat to be able to taste it) Bland spaghetti, bland chicken and dumplings, bland greens, bland, bland, bland - except for the fried chicken and fried fish which were okay, compared to the rest. Service was not overly friendly, or even friendly either. Pretty much here's your seat, here's your drink. I would probably come back one more time. Definitely will not come back if the next time is like this time. 2 1-2 stars is what I would give it. Rounding up to 3 in memory of a place that used to be a lot better.

It was hands down inedible. The ribs. They were cooked but only medium rare and not my fave temp for any pork. They were also the the long fatty ribs and not the well-seasoned charred variety. Bland bland bland. AND my full rack had 6 ribs. Sorry that I know this fact but it should Have been 10-13 ribs. The Mac-cheese was about what was expected. The cornbread as great, but imo any bread should be stoppable )in decent sauce and this was nasty). The beans were pretty damn good - I would order them again. BUT since I do not do to any restaurant for a cup of beans Moe's is now a huge pass for me. I am so sorry - not for my poor meal but for how you have put yourself into a fast-food experience. And I would normally reach out for the 6 ribs you owe me but just give them to the raccoons.

I walked into the establishment, completely decorated by license plates from probably every state, and it was much cleaner than I was expecting it to be. I looked over the menu, and the girl at the counter was super helpful and was able to confidently and competently answer every question I had, regardless of how obvious the answer was. Now, normally when I go for barbecue, I tend to gravitate toward the brisket, but on this day, I chose the pulled pork sandwich, and this was a decision I didn't regret. This was hands down the best pulled pork I've eaten, juicy, flavorful, and smoky. The sauce, made in house, was the perfect compliment to the meat. I chose potato salad and baked beans as my sides, both of which were absolutely fantastic! The potato salad was very fresh and well seasoned. The beans were also very good, made with the same sauce on the sandwich, but with a little zing to them that gives them a bit of a kick. I had a great lunch experience here, and will definitely go back again.

    Food: I'm actually gonna rate each item because this is my Yelp account and I do what I want!…read moreColeslaw - 6/10: It was missing something, like some heat or like raisins (kidding, kidding...). It wasn't bad just not the best I've had. Brisket Sandwich - 8/10: Big PLUS for offering a "lean" version! Nice. The only thing I would say is that the sauce was a little soupy. I prefer a thick, tangy BBQ sauce... but that's just me. Overall a great cut of beef! Mac n Cheese balls - 10/10: I've had cheese balls before, but these were friggin' awesome. They put brisket in with them! The outer layer was perfectly crisp, delicious Mac n cheese inside... I probably should not have eaten all 4 but I couldn't stop! Dang those were good. Cheesy Cornbread - 10+/10: It goes KFC biscuits, Red Lobster biscuits and then blowing both of those out of the water are these bad boys! Let's just say I'm glad they only gave me two. If I would have known how awesome those were, I probably would have ONLY gotten a meal of only biscuits! The cornbread wasn't too sweet, the edges were crispy and chewy, cheese in the middle... dude... I was done after those. Epic. Service: Good service, no complaints. But I saw another post on here about the "you order at the front but then they bring food to you" feel. So you feel obligated to give a tip...? But they didn't take your order at your table. It's just one of those places that is in between a fast food and formal service. Regardless, they were still nice and professional. Shout out to Eric for suggesting the Mac n Cheese balls! What an epic name! Atmosphere: It's like a cabin-ish feel inside, kind of like other BBQ places. It would be really funny if there was a BBQ place that had like, I dunno, an Anime theme or something...? I mean, that's a bit off the wall, but I'm just Sayin (see what I did there?) that all BBQ joints have pretty much the same feel. Cozy enough and clean so that's a plus! Price: Middle of the road. Solid meal will run you 25$ plus tip. But obviously it gets pricy if you get different cuts or more meat. Still even those prices weren't horrible. Oh and also CRUSHED ICE!!! Overall: Just three words for this one. "I'll be back," A.Schwarenegger

The…read moreambiance seems very similar to exact between these two locations I've tried as would be expected with chain joints. The BBQ always seems to be inconsistent with sometimes good, sometimes disappointing but usually mediocre. I think Hog Wild Beach & BBQ in Gulf Shores is far better than this joint and I only end up at Jim 'N Nick's when I'm limited by time and have to do something quick when I'm in town. During my most recent visit they were out of unsweet iced tea and they never got it refilled during my visit. Another consistent issue I've had here is they never have given me a spoon when I've ordered the brisket chili so that has always left me either on the hunt for a spoon or trying to eat it with a fork (now for my last two visits they have actually given me a spoon). They sort of kind of have table service here as they deliver your food to your table and sometimes different staff walk past and ask how you are doing which in the past here after you got your food delivered you usually didn't see anybody at your table again. So they have improved a tad bit over the years that I've tried this spot. Given the choice and available time I'm always heading to Hog Wild Beach & BBQ in Gulf Shores for a far superior experience but sometimes I will be stuck with the mediocre experience at Jim 'N Nick's to take care of my BBQ addiction. Overall Jim 'N Nick's is OK while Hog Wild Beach & BBQ is fantastic. The absolute BEST BBQ in America is Gonzo's Smokehouse in Luling, LA.

Altogether a delightful dinner in a fun place. We loved the music, too!! Outdoor or indoor seating, varied menu, kid friendly. We loved it!
