Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q — Restaurant in Huntsville

If you’re looking for authentic, unforgettable BBQ, this place is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this restaurant takes pride in every detail—from the warm, inviting atmosphere to the smoky aroma that immediately set my expectations high.

The food is nothing short of phenomenal. The brisket melts in your mouth with a perfect balance of smoky flavor and tenderness, the pulled pork is juicy without being greasy, and the ribs fall off the bone yet still have that satisfying bite. Every piece of meat is clearly slow-cooked with care, and you can taste the hours of preparation in every bite. The house-made sauces are the perfect complement—ranging from sweet and tangy to bold and spicy—without overpowering the natural flavors of the meat.

The sides are just as impressive. The mac and cheese is creamy with the right amount of sharpness, and the collard greens taste homemade in the best possible way. Even the pickles and slaw, often overlooked at other BBQ spots, are fresh, crisp, and clearly crafted to pair perfectly with the heavier dishes.

On top of all that, the service is outstanding. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they’re serving. They were eager to offer recommendations, quick to refill drinks, and checked in just enough to make sure everything was perfect without hovering.

To round it out, the prices are more than fair for the quality and portion sizes. You leave not just satisfied, but with that “I can’t wait to come back” feeling.

Emma, was an outstanding bartender that knew everything, and more, about everything. She answered every question I had with more than an answer. She described everything to a T and helped me decide on my perfect plate.

This restaurant sets a new standard for BBQ in the area. If giving this place more stars than just 5 was possible, it would be getting those as well. Whether you’re a die-hard BBQ lover or just someone looking for a great meal, do yourself a favor and go here—you’ll be planning your next visit before you even...

Good BBQ. I had the Carolina Chopped Pork plate for lunch with baked beans and potato salad. Both sides good. Overall good quality food at moderate cost - most plates in the $13-15 range. Sweet tea is Bama sweet. Also had an order of 6 of the cheese biscuits. These are served like mini-muffins and the do have a muffin taste. They are near addictive good but rather expensive at $6.99. Ordering is done up front and drinks and seating are self served. Food is brought to your table. Our server was very attentive and made sure had what we ordered and we were satisfied with our food. Most seating is for 4 at booths, butcher block tables, or raised tables and stools. Overall atmosphere is upscale fast-food/casual, not at all like the restaurant I had visited few years ago in Fultondale. There is adequate parking but lot may be full at peak hours. By the end of our meal at 12:15, people had started parking on the road on East side...

Our table was dirty. We moved to another table that seemed clean...but there was a lot of food on the floor under it. Someone brought sweet rolls, but we had no napkins or silverware. We finally went to the station and got our own. We got drinks at the bar. The music was loud and it was hard to talk. The food came quickly but no one came by the table for over a half an hour. We could have used some water. Then, before we left, three people came by and asked if everything was okay, within literally seconds of one another, or if we needed anything. Annoying. Was any one of them our waitress? The food was served on a sheet of paper on a cookie sheet. The meat, pork, was nice and smoky but the sauce was very sweet. The meat on the loaded baked potato was sloppy wet. The onion rings were good but salty. The corn on the cob was...in an interesting sour and hot sauce. It was overall disappointing and...
