Fried pork chops, Lima beans and turnip greens.
Ken S.

This meat and two is what southern cooking should taste like. My wife and I recently ate there and plan to take some friends there on our next visit. The fried chicken was excellent. The turnip greens and Lima beans were well prepared. Nothing was over seasoned. The staff were kind and courteous. The diner is tiny and nothing fancy. The location is sort of in the Auburn Kroger parking lot facing Glenn Ave. We had to drive "around our elbow" a couple of times to find it, but glad we did.

This was my first visit, and it was definitely worth it. I got a good amount of food, especially since they were giving out free plates. Everyone was really nice and welcoming, and the whole process was quick and smooth. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Auburn area.

Food was fantastic! Chicken fell right off the bone, candied yams were perfection, mac and cheese was so cheesy and good, service was great and the food came out super fast, definitely one of the best comfort food restaurants in Auburn!

Fried chicken

Loved it. Super simple meat and 2. Walked in with no line and easy enough to find our seat.

As good as Soul Food can be. We use to stop here about 6 times a year when traveling through now it…read moreis about once a year...and oh, how we miss it. We ordered two Meat & 2's and both consisted of A Big Fat Fried Chicken Breast, Black-Eyed Peas and Mac n Cheese. As always the chicken was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside with that perfect fried chicken skin and totally moist meat. The mac n cheese was very moist, not really runny and the texture was the perfect chew. No mushiness and no hard noodles. The black-eyed peas were out of this world good. They had a bit of spice in them and cooked good ole' Southern Style...cooked! We ate and ate until there was not more room. We gladly took our left overs for another wonderful meal. As we were leaving I said, oh, no "I forgot to take pictures. So I went and broke in line and took a couple of the cafeteria style food that everyone was so patiently waiting to be served. The staff works extremely hard. The restaurant is very clean. And the food is absolutely delicious. They do take togo orders and sometimes the line is out the door. They are closed on Saturdays. Highly recommend one try if in the area. Prices have remained relatively low while other places have increased their prices drastically. Our two meals which included drinks and tax was about $21. You can still buy a whole fried wing for under $2...it is $1.95.

I have to give this wonderful restaurant an upgrade! I must have had some bad luck the first time…read more On my second visit, I realized what locals were trying to tell me, that this old-school southern eatery is fabulous!! This is classic, southern food at its best! The catfish tonight was on point! The mac and cheese is absolute gooey, cheesy perfection! The purple hull peas are so scrumptious! I'm a new fan of Pannie-George's!

She made sure we were taken care of, was very clear and knowledgeable about the menu, gave incredible recommendations, and was also thoughtful in celebrating my boyfriend's promotion to Captain in the Army! The ambiance is really sweet. Whether you're here on a date, catching up with friends over a nice meal, in the mood to watch some sports, or celebrating a special occasion, this is your place! There's a sweet vibe going on with some music in the back, but it's not too loud where you can't hear your own conversations at the table. The food? Chef's kiss. They have a rotating menu, I think depending on the season/time of year, but they have some consistent all-year-round items on the menu. I first came here on Valentine's weekend with my boyfriend, and absolutely loved it. Couldn't stop thinking about their truffle parm fries, nor their milk and cookies- finger licking good. This time around, we got the Farmer's Daughter (which made my usually anti-veggie boyfriend absolutely love btw), half-dozen Gulf Coast oysters, and fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks. This is the kind of place you go to where you won't be able to find these dishes just anywhere. It's uniquely delicious, and I genuinely think you can't go wrong with what you choose! My boyfriend, a coffee connoisseur, also loves their French Press Coffee! Thank you Lucy's, for always such a great experience and for fantastic food.

Extremely noisy so bring ear plugs and forget about table conversations…read more Expensive and then they attach a 3% fee because their kitchen staff do not make a good salary. I will go elsewhere in the future as the value and cost ratio is not worth the visit.

This is my second time trying Jim 'N Nick's and our food could not be beat! We had the following: Deviled Eggs-made with sweet relish, just like my moms! Delish! Classic Pulled Pork Sandwich-my father devoured it and it was piled high with meat with their special BBQ sauce. Onion rings- hand cut and fried crispy! So good cause they are homemade! Smoked wings- fried to perfection with a sweet red habanera sauce. Served with celery, carrots and blue cheese dipping sauce. Cheese biscuits- these mini biscuits are like popovers... and we popped them right in our mouths. Don't start nibbling cause you can't stop! Couldn't be any happier with our food! Staff greeted us with a smile and was extremely polite and kind. Management also greeted us and made us feel welcomed back! 5 star experience!!!

After waiting about 10 minutes at my table without so much as an acknowledgment -- and with the restaurant only about 20-30% full -- I finally gave up and went somewhere else. Disappointing first impression, especially for a place that smelled so good when I walked in.

First, our server introduced herself and explained the buffet menu, which I appreciate. She was very attentive, and I think she refilled my drink a total of three times during my meal. The food options at the buffet were great. The biscuit bar offering sausage gravy, tomato gravy, and shrimp étouffée as a topping was phenomenal. I sampled the étouffée and sausage gravy, and the homemade biscuits all were really good. On the second morning that I went down for breakfast, not nearly as good of an experience. The young lady who is our server, just didn't seem like she wanted to be there, polar opposite from the previous day. Our table wasn't stocked with sugar only had a pepper shaker had to ask for both. Somehow the same hot gravy that I had enjoyed the day before were luke warm some reason, maybe just caught it at a bad time. I didn't have more fruit options out on morning too, which I did appreciate as well. I think the poor service just soured the experience. The third morning I went down for breakfast, there was a long line waiting to be seated. And the person that appeared to be seating people as the hostess, was the same server from the day before. I came back about 30 minutes later, and there was still a line so I decided to skip breakfast. I will definitely give this one another shot, when we return to Auburn for leisure based on that first Days experience and re-rate if warranted.
