    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Kristina M.

    What a spot!!! I feel like this is the place I have been looking for in Dothan!! Great Bristol, imaginative menu and amazing coffee. What is not to love!?!? Vegetarian friendly!!! Not so dire about GF tho. When you walk in you are greeted by the hostess. And the poster that shows the dish here that made it in to the "100 must try dishes in Alabama". The decor feels Bristo Comfy. About 11 wooden tables, mostly 4-tops. White metal chairs that really solidify the decor. Love the photos on the walls, especially "our adventure". I loved the coffee menu, and tried the dark elephant. Dark mocha with peanut butter--- yes pls. And adult Reese's cup in a mug! I also ordered the soup and sando combo, which sounds kinda plain... until you see the soups and sandwiches to choose from. And ... it allows you to try the dishes they are most known for , the red pepper soup and chicken salad. Whatever you order here, you will love. And the service. TippityTopTalent!! They serve all the dishes with a smile and are just sweet!! As I sit here, enjoying my meal and pondering.. it feels like the more accessible KBC.

    Nile Hummus - warm hummus and pita
    Rebecca G.

    The River Nile has great...everything! Attentive servers, timely food delivery, easy atmosphere, and great flavors! We love the warm hummus and pita bread, the French onion soup, the pesto grilled chicken salad, and the club--just for starters. I'm wishing right now for lavender lemonade--so good!

    Pink Mocha

    Hands down the friendliest place I have been to in a while. So nice that my son and I came back separately the next day! The Pink Mocha is amazing! And I have not yet been disappointed in the food. It is homemade amazingness. It's a cute little restaurant inside a bigger place so a little off putting to find at first but once you are there it is well worth it!

    Great sandwich place. Be sure to try the Red Pepper soup. Their breakfast options look great too.

    This is not an exaggeration, by far the best Jim N Nicks that I've gone to. The meat was well…read morecooked, soft, tender but not too tender that it's falling off the bone. I ate two half slab of ribs two consecutive nights. They service was top tier, I called the first night 5 minutes before closing time for a pickup and the guy too my order happily. I got there and he's looking through the window for me. They had already closed. This guy had a great spirit and was really accommodating. I didn't get his name but he is blonde haired and had a blonde mustache and, he was wearing a hat, hopefully that helps him get the recognition I'm hoping he gets because he was exemplary.

    I was recently in town because I have family in Enterprise but we were having a baby shower in…read moreDothan and prior to attending the night before, my wife and I was looking for a place to have dinner. I am so glad we went to Jim and Nicks BBQ. I'm usually tough on commercial BBQ spots because I'm a FL. Boy and we like our backyard (sort of speak) BBQ, but it was smelling so good outside I was feeling like Toucan Sam and decided to follow my nose. First of all, the building was very spacious and the staff was very polite. When we sat down, one of the staff members brought us these cheddar sweet biscuits and I have no business with bread cause I'm a type 2 diabetic but I was hungry and these biscuits was on point. They were really good. I order the 2lb rib platter with some collard greens and Cole slaw. Like the young folks say Bruh.... The ribs was so good made me wanna slap yo momma. The Cole slaw was also good it wasn't soupy like most places and was very flavorful. The Collard Greens wasn't mine or my momma's but with some pepper sauce they were okay. But everything was so good the next time I'm in town, I know exactly where I'm heading.
