Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q

I spent the night in town here on my way to Florida and decided to grab a bite to eat. I was looking for a BBQ place and I found Jim N Nick's BBQ. It was about 8:30 when I went in and sat down to order. I am a big fan of good BBQ and I know the best places will run out of a few things by the end of the night. They had sold out on pulled pork and chicken but I saw something on the menu that I wanted to try anyway. It was BBQ smoked turkey breast! I has some at a different place up north a couple years ago that a BBQ Pitmaster from Missouri made for Thansgiving. It was so good. I have to say that this Turkey was just as incredible. It was tender and juicy and had a great flavor! You need to try it. The baked beans and corn on the cob were also fantastic. Very flavorful. The whole meal started out with these little hot and fresh muffins they brought out. Yum! My waitress was awesome. She was nice, she was attentive, and took great care of me. One of the best waitresses I have had in a long time. The hostess was very friendly too. I definitely recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner. They have dine in, order pickup, and a drive thru. There is a bar inside too. Its a pretty place.

I usually order at the Conyers location, but I was closer to the McDononugh location so I ordered the classic ribs with baked beans and collard greens from Jim ’N Nick’s yesterday! UNFORTUNATELY, the experience was awful and a total waste of money!!! Starting with the ribs: they were dry, tough, and laced with excessive fat. The flavor was extremely unpleasant and honestly disgusting. After a few bites, they made me sick to my stomach, and I ended up throwing them straight in the trash. The collard greens were just as disappointing. They were overwhelmed with stems instead of actual greens, completely lacking balance. On top of that, they had no real seasoning or flavor whatsoever, making them inedible. This meal was a huge letdown, especially given the expectations for a barbecue restaurant with plenty of GOOD GOOGLE REVIEWS FOR MCDONOUGH LOCATION! I won’t be ordering this again and I do NOT RECOMMEND MCDONOUGH, GA location!

For the past few years I always ordered a gallon of the collard greens and a gallon of the Mac and cheese because on one occasion years back I had only ordered a half gallon of both and it wasn’t enough for my family so I decided to always get a gallon of both. As far as I can remember the gallon portion came in the large pans. I never seen any differences in the pans year after year. A Half of gallon is the small pan. A gallon is the large pan. So I ordered a gallon of both for my family this thanksgiving. I Pre ordered 3-4 days before so I wouldn’t have a problem with their heavy Thanksgivings orders. I get my order. They give me a small pan of collards for $50 and a large pan of Mac and cheese for $50 so I asked the manager if they left a pan of the collards out. This is not the same amount of collards that I’m used to getting for the gallon size. He said to me that they measure the collards now with a quart cup. You get 4 quarts in the pan. Ok then if that was true why did they put it in a large pan for all those years? And if that was true why are you still selling a gallon of Mac and Cheese still in the large pan for $50? So why did you guys decide to just put the collards in a small pan? They put both a Half gallon or A whole gallon into a small pan. How would your customers know if they have the right amount? Should we watch you guys pour 2 quarts or 4 quarts? I ended up buying another small pan. Spending over $100 for a true gallon of collard greens. The same amount that I was getting every year. Jim and Nicks McDonough Ga. Cater’s a Gallon of Collard Greens in small pan for $50 Manager is Only Measuring the collards with a quart cup. How are you guys measuring a gallon of Mac and Cheese? So why are they putting the Collards in a small pan it doesn’t matter if you order a half gallon or a full gallon? See the picture below!!! I ordered the large pan - 1 Gallon $50 which should serve 20-24 people. They gave me the small pan- half a gallon $28 which should serve only 10-12 They gave me the $28 pan for the $50 pan. How can you tell the difference between the two when they are in the same pan? How could I compare? Only from what I’ve been getting before. Don’t take my word. Check for yourself.

This was the first time visiting this establishment. Husband had pulled pork plate and I had the quarter chicken (thigh and leg portion). The smoked flavor was very good on the chicken and pork. Tried the Morgan Co. White sauce to go with the chicken (first time sampling tho style of sauce) and it paired well. Would definitely recommend anyone to try them out. Nice portions for the price.

If you’re heading to the Jim ‘N Nick’s in McDonough, do yourself a favor: bypass the "low and slow" BBQ for just a second and head straight for Tony at the bar. I’m convinced Tony is less of a bartender and more of a drink-whisperer. I’ve had "service" before, but Tony operates with the precision of a surgeon and the speed of a guy who knows exactly how much I need a drink after a long day. He was always spot on—my glass was never empty long enough for me to contemplate my life choices, which is exactly how I like it. The Winning Strategy: Order the Brisket: It’s tender enough to make a grown man weep. Order a Drink from Tony: It’ll be balanced, cold, and crafted with the kind of care usually reserved for Faberge eggs. Tony has that rare talent of being everywhere at once without breaking a sweat. If they ever decide to automate bartending with robots, they’re going to have a hard time programming "The Tony Factor." Bottom line: Go for the BBQ, stay for the man behind the bar. If Tony’s working, you’re in the best hands in McDonough.

We recently purchased a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving and it was amazing! This will be our new tradition. I was also extremely impressed with the professionalism and attitudes of the employees the night before Thanksgiving. They had a lot of order to fill and were very organized and so nice and patient with each customer. Strength is revealed under pressure and I can say this staff displayed strength! It's always been a pleasant dine in experience as well. Thanks Jim and Nicks for standing out and for the great food that is consistently good!

Came here today and the food and service was real good...our waitress kaci was very good and helpful...can't wait to come back and visit

This location is the best!! When I say delicious I mean it! Everything is always good! I have never had something not taste good. The brisket, chicken and pork are my favs! I order here when I need my collard greens fix. Biscuits are addicting! Even if I had an issue they were quick to correct it and make sure I was satisfied with the resolution. I went out of town to another state that’s supposedly famous for BBQ. I went to the restaurant everyone raved about…. Mannn it was disappointing and all I could think was Jim n Nicks is so much better!!!

London assisted with my drive through order, 11/17. She was personable, professional, made sure the order was delivered timely and the order was correct. Food was delicious, as always. London, Thanks for your kind service!

The baked potatoes are out of this world! Service is extremely friendly and ambiance is nice and relaxed. So many options and so delicious!

Jim 'N Nicks never disappoints came here for the loaded brisket baked potato and ended up trying the Southern Deviled Eggs & the Catfish Filet for the first time. All 10/10. My son got a recommendation from the server & he had chicken tenders and onion rings. The BBQ sauce on the table was a little too vinegary for me but the one that came with the chicken tenders was thicker and sweeter. Give these folks a try when you're in the area.

I haven't had the chance to eat inside this location yet as I'm always using the drive thru. The baked potato is my go to! You can get smoked turkey, pulled pork, or chicken on top, as well as cheese, bacon, and sour cream. It really is a full, well rounded meal within itself. The potato also comes with a side of cheese biscuits but I give them to the kiddos (not gluten free). The drive through service is always quick and friendly. I eat here at least once a week or several times a month. The value of the potato is worth it.

I always place a to-go order for food and wait with a nice time at a bar. Hannah and Alyssa as bartenders and most importantly the general manager Quentin make the environment like none other. Been coming here for years and will not stop. Enjoy a great meal and excellent drink at Jim 'N Nick's BBQ

Lonna was an excellent server. She thought they were out of baked potatoes then she returned and said they discovered additional potatoes were ready. The large BBQ Baked potato was huge and enough for a second meal. We both had leftovers for another meal. The salad was very good. And the banana pudding was large enough for 3 people to share. It was cold and very flavorful. Thanks Lonna for your great service.

It's the fourth, so why not try a new BBQ place? I chose this place because I have heard so many great things. I was told it can get busy on a regular day, but on the Fourth of July, it could get very busy. Well, it was busy, but the wait was reasonable, maybe twenty minutes at the most. Plus, there is plenty of seating while you wait, and there's a really nice bar if you want to sit there and dine. Now, the wait gave me a chance to talk to the many people waiting to be seated who had been there a dozen times to tell me their favorites on the menu. The consensus was that everything was good. So, I ordered the lean brisket, which was very lean and well seasoned, the way I like it. The BBQ sauce was a first for me. They had several sauces, and all were good, from heavy to lite. But it was the lite sauce that was my favorite. I could still taste the spices and the goodness of the brisket without the sauce overpowering the flavor. I love a lite sauce, but most places only have heavy sauces. I have to brag on the macaroni and cheese, it was good. It was not overly cheesy, and the noodles were not mushy or chewy; it was nice and plump. Now, of course, I indulge in other people's plates. The turkey was super moist, sliced just right, not thin or thick. The ribs were tender, and one bite could pull the meat straight from the bone. The Carolina BBQ sauce added more flavor, but there are plenty more sauces to choose from, too. The cheese biscuits, I would say, are the star of the show. Those little bites before the entree are a dream. It has a smooth, creamy butter that comes on the side. Anyone can easily eat ten before the main course comes out. Those biscuits are so yummy you will be too full to eat your main course. So just eat two if you can control yourself.

Historically speaking I have always very much enjoyed Jim 'N Nick's BBQ. This time was a bit different/odd. When we first arrived around 2PM (they open around 11AM) we were not greeted with a "Hello, welcome to Jim 'N Nick's", but rather an immediate statement "I want you to know we have no ribs left, I hope that is OK". When we looked at each other and shrugged a bit and said we could find something else on the menu, the first statement was followed up with "oh, and nobody has wrapped silverware so I'm going to give you plasticware". Aside from the rather off-putting arrival, the server was courteous and the food was well prepared. However I must say, how could the restaurant general manager not plan food quantities properly for a weekend afternoon? How do you run out of ribs within a 4 hours of opening when you are scheduled to be open until 9PM?? I likely will not return to this location.

The loaded backed potatoes is a must! It's delicious and jammed packed with flavor i got it with the pulled pork this time but the brisket is top tier also. The serving size of the side is a bit underwhelming but the baked beans are pretty decent and seasoned well with meat added to them. I'm also a big fan of their Daves Lemonade which is a good combination of sweet and tart. The restaurant was a bit cold so i had to go and grab by jacket but the service was really good at this location so I'd recommend checking them out.

Whether you are dining in or driving thru Jim n Nicks always makes it worth it. The meat is always fresh and the biscuits are ADDICTING. My family and I visit here often for a quick wholesome bite to eat.

Bar b Q ribs were salty. Like real bad salty. Small and then full of fat!. Bar b w sauce was red looking water.... The worst I have ever tasted since being in GA for 2 years. Sweet tea was watered down tea with no sweetener. I thought I could wash some of this bad food down with the tea. Boy was I wrong. I will never eat at this place again. I threw it away. Happy Bar BQ hunting.

I wish I lived closer to a location but every time I visit the area I make sure I go. The food is so good. I especially love the little cheese biscuits. Yum! I usually get the combo plate (3 meats) so I can take some home. My go to is the turkey, brisket and pork. I love the bbq sauces that come with them. Mac and cheese and collard greens are always great side choices. And make sure you get some banana pudding to go! Staff was nice. We were seated right away. It was also nice to be able to watch the football games on the tv

My first time here as I was visiting from NY. I came with my cousin who frequents this establishment. I thoroughly enjoyed my fried fish platter. Fish was lightly battered, flaky, and well seasoned. Also the collards as a side were flavored with pork meat bits. The cheesy biscuits as starters were also a delight. The ribs my cousin ordered she said were very tasty. The wait staff were attentive but not pushy. We came mid day on a Saturday. A time and day we thought would be crowded and noisy. It wasn't. The food was delicious. The next time I visit this part of Georgia, im sure to return

Great food and service. Good value for the food. Good selection of food. Clean restaurant.

A friend of mine who took me to Emory Winship Cancer and almost three weeks later when I was released he came and picked me up and took me home. It will be 4 to 6 weeks until I can drive again. In the meantime he injured his shoulder and can't drive. I thought I should send him and his wife some BBQ since it advertised as Delivery. We have been close friends for 50 years. I am not on pain medication but was on speaker phone. I saw on the Jim & Nick's web site they advertise that they deliver. I called and spoke with the boy who answered the phone as a Delivery Specialist. This brat told me to "speak clearly", then told me they do not Deliver. He was rude,. I'll spend the $70 at a place who is polite and has better customer service. I do not trust brats like that handling my food.

If you want great bbq with great sides, this is the place. Got take out so hard to grade the service, but what I received was good. Thought the place was well designed and quiet.

Food and service was great. Sat at the bar, we were traveling and it was late and we were tired. Happy we ate here.

The biscuits. The biscuits. I'd visit just for the biscuits. Seriously. Also the white bbq is amazing.

One of my worst food experiences ever!! I stopped into the McDonough location while out shopping and the food was sub par to say the least. I ordered the catfish meal with a baked potato and greens. The fish was ok, my potatoe was barely luke warm, as the cheese would not even melt. I did like the greens but the serving was so small. The bread came to the table about 20 minutes into our meal and looked hardly done(very pale in color). My daughter had the smoked wings but they were pink in color (near the bone) and we sent them back. The tea wasn't even sweet yesterday! Not sure what the problem was, but my dining experience was bad!

Oh yeah! 5 stars from me off the rip. This was our first time going and let me tell you it did not disappoint. We went in right at 11:00 am. We were greeted and got seated promptly. We both got waters and one lemonade to share. The lemonade was made by the lord himself. It was very rich and flavorful. For our appetizer we ordered the brisket chili fries/wedges. They were good too. Then the main event came the pick 3 combo. We decided on the ribs, brisket, and pulled pork and Mac and greens for the side. We also added a extra potato salad. All the food was definitely on point! The bread in the basket was fire too! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food -- great service and we had a long visit without being rushed to leave of a Friday night!

We stopped by after hearing great things about the bbq here. You order at a counter and they bring the food to your table. The service all around was great. We tried almost everything on the menu, except for the fried items. We will do that the next time we are in town. All of the bbq meats were excellent, with a good smoke ring and very tender. The brisket was fall apart soft, chicken had a deep smoked flavor and I hate turkey, but their was so moist that I wanted more. The cornbread muffins are complimentary and yummy. The greens were good but I needed more salt. I was not a huge fan of the mac and cheese but it wasn't bad, just not my preference. The corn on the cob in the butter sauce wrapped in foil, was so good, I had to order 3 more to go for my mom. All the sides were good for the most part. Even the enjoyed my peach tea with real peaches on the bottom. We will definitely be going again!

We were seated quickly. The biscuits, food, and service were great. We each had something different and all enjoyed their food. The music was a little lood but the atmosphere was good.

great Bar-B-Q SANDWICHES and coleslaw! we ordered food on the 4. off JULY FOR 100.00 and had to wait very long and received the wrong meals. meat was very fat. my son ordered it , can't remember but we had. never order again.

Dayuuuuuummm..I think Atlanta is sleeping on this BBQ spot.. This may be the best Quue inn the area... It is complete... You get got meat(no Diddy) with great sides..a complete plate... They service and ambiance is with the trip...Dayuuuuuummm let your big back out...

I visited Jim'N Nicks's and the food was delicious! The aroma of the place made my mouth water. Every part of the atmosphere was amazing. My server, Isaiah was knowledgeable, kind, and more than accommodating. Isaiah provided excellent service and he expressed genuine love for serving and providing a memorable experience. 10/10.. I recommend this restaurant and server

Jim 'N Nicks Barbecue is wonderful!! We are relatively new to the area and have been searching for a great place to eat wings, burgers and onion rings. They exceeded our expectations in every way. The food is so delicious!!!! The staff are friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about their menu. Manager Ronnie was just superb!! He stopped by our table and was so very kind. He shared the incredible history of the restaurant including some heartwarming tidbits about the current and past employees. We truly enjoyed our entire dining experience. This is our go to Barbecue place from now on!!

Friendly environment pulled pork was good and hot but the ribs were cold. Overall good place to grab some bbq from will be back again

The service and restaurant area was good. Bought the brisket dinner, the cornbread, fries and collard greens were good. The brisket was horrible. My husband is a brisket lover he was not happy with this purchase. We will not be back.

The damn cheese biscuits are everything. The barbecue is great and all, but you might as well go ahead and tell your server you need more biscuits as soon as they put the first batch down. You really can't go wrong with any of the meats on the menu, though the pulled chicken is my favorite being that I don't eat ribs anymore.

Used Jim n Nicks 2 times for catering and everyone complimented their food both times. We ordered pulled chicken, Turkey and beef brisket, it was to die for!1 Mac n cheese was so good we ordered 3 of those! Of course the cheese biscuits are out of this world.The first time 0 issues, the 2nd time some things were not included that were supposed to be, Chris, the manager 100% + made it right. I absolutely will use them again. The food is top notch.Never had any issues while visiting the restaurant. Always consistent great food.

Now I had the turkey and pulled pork. It was pretty good I wish that it had more smoked flavor. The Mac and cheese was a little disappointing to me I was looking for more rich oozing type of Mac. The muffins tho I definitely killer

Have to make sure you get extra cheese biscuits. This is my brisket spot whenever they have it. Service is also really good and fast.

It's memorial day and I wanted some bbq. Came across this place on Yelp and they did not disappoint. They have a drive thru so that is a plus and the young lady that took my order was VERY friendly and efficient. Nice portions and this was NY first time here but I will be back.

I had the pull pork sandwich was delicious and the Mac n cheese was creamy and yummy. My husband had the brisket and he loved it. The cheese biscuits are AMAZING!!! The staff was so friendly and accommodating! Love this restaurant and we will definitely be returning!!!

I implore you not to order delivery online for the McDonough location. On Wednesday February 28th at 2:35 pm I placed an online delivery order for a family meal for a total of $93.93. The order was picked up and also cancelled by the driver at 3:08 pm. Granted this is a 3rd party delivery driver. How disappointing it is that I am still waiting for the return of my funds that was lost during this transaction. I have contacted the location and it's unfortunate that they don't know that they deliver through their website. I'm still waiting for my return call from the store manager for the return of my money. I ended up going up to the store to reorder and pay a second time. I'm very disappointed.

The food at Jim 'N Nick's is really well done. We were served a little late on the complimentary cheesy biscuit that came with our dine-in experience, but that does not take away from the fact that these are some of the best biscuits I've tasted. They strike a good balance between sweet and cheesy flavors, and their airy texture means the side butter really isn't necessary, though it's a nice addition. For appetizers, we ordered the Pitmaster Nacho Platter with pulled pork, which could have been better-- the chips and queso arrived a bit cold, and there wasn't much pulled pork, but it's an appetizer, so our expectations were modest. For the main course, I opted for the 3 lbs Ribs. I may have been lucky and visited on a good day, but believe me when I say these massive ribs are tender-- they truly are! Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the barbecue sauce added an extra tanginess that was delightful.

You have to hit Jim N Nick's at the right time of day. Usually late afternoon early evening when the food is moving and fresh. If you go to late in the evening you get the dried out leftovers from the day. Ask for fries with no salt so they come out fresh and hot add your own salt. They could be good if they were consistent with their food but unfortunately they are not, it all depends on the time of day with them. Try not to be seated near the kitchen you will definitely not enjoy your meal over the loud talking of the staff and obnoxious conversations they are engaged in.

Originally in Alabama but we always have great bbq and sides here. Gotta try it. Great menu and good sized portions. Great stuffed potatoes too

Mr. Jim's Combo Plate wasn't too happy this time. The meats were too hard. Sides were great though!! Corn and slaw i could have gotten over and over. I picked out the softer edible parts of the meat and made a sandwich on the side bun i ordered.

So far our 10 minute wait for a table has been almost half an hour. There are 2 of us and I count 10 empty clean tables Were about to leave and go next door to Millers Ale House !!

Me and someone else ordered some items off the menu and created our own combo plate, lol! So don't look for this couple on the menu. The ribs were a little cold. As if someone forgot to heat them up before serving or they were apart of A previous order that was cancelled. Everything else was hot. I truly enjoyed the smoked wings. The collards were a little spicy but not overpowering. It's was a cold, Rainey day when we ordered so the spicy collards was a hot treat lolol! Besides the cold ribs, I have no major complaints. Overall The food was good! I will eat here again. Already Looking forward to trying the smoked wings again with the cheesy muffins.

Attending a family reunion and we were referred to Jim N Nick's the evening before the festivities began. What a treat! Every morsel was delicious. The ribs were tender and the cheddar biscuits were unbelievable!!! Excellent collards and Mac and cheese. Highly recommend!!!

This place is awesome. It never disappoints. The barbecue is always on point and the banana pudding is to die for. Prices are reasonable too.

Food is delicious finger licking good service was outstanding, and the absence was very little

everything was absolutely amazing! i enjoyed the Carolina pulled pork plate, along with the collard, mac and cheese, and corn muffins! gerard was my server that night and gave us excellent service! he really went out of his way to make us smile. you can tell he genuinely loves what he does.

Food is good but the portions are small for the price. The service is always polite in my experiences. I went for my last time because there is no reason for the impact fee. It feels like I'm being nickeled and dimed for already small portions.

Jim 'N Nick's is a great BBQ option for those that are in the area. This was my second time eating at this establishment in less than a month. Both times the collard greens where delicious. I could eat them all day long. The Macaroni and Baked beans were pretty tasty as well. As of the actual meat, I have only tried the Baby Back and Spare ribs. I really liked the Baby Back ribs. They were nice and tender. The Spare ribs, I wasn't blown away by. They were tasty however not as tender as I would have liked. It took a while to chew. When going, I recommend calling in its much quicker than the drive through. Both times the drive through was super slow and congested. All in all, I give this place 4 stars. The food was fresh, customer service was great, and the food was tasty. Oh, I almost forgot. Both times they didn't have the baked potatoes. This was disappointing.

Went for lunch with my friends. The best thing we had was the drinks. Go to Fox Brothers!
