Asteroid Blues

I walked up to Togo where I saw the lady working the counter and one customer standing in silence as the customer was deciding what to order. I adked if she had my delivery order ready. She looked at me, smiled, and said nothing as if I spoke out of turn, and turned her head away for another 5 mins while the customer ordered. Seems like she would take literally 2 steps to hand that to me to get it to the customer quicker. This is prime example of poor customer service.

The Hungry Road

Working in Birmingham, AL for an extended period of time and Jim 'N' Nick's was right up the street from both my hotel and my work site so we stopped in for lunch one time. Listen, I enjoyed myself SO MUCH that I returned 2 more times for dinner! Here's why!Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is huge and has a fairly large footprint for being in a downtown setting. No private parking, but there's plenty of street parking. Once inside you're greeted by a wide-open dining room and a big center bar with seating on 3 sides. There are dining booths on both sides and plenty of standard tables. If you walk on the left side of the bar and head toward the back you'll see the to-go section where you can walk right up to the counter and order your food to roll out with.Service: I can't remember the name of our servers, but we sat at the bar each time and everyone was wonderful. As a collective they were funny, sweet, likeable and personable.Food: Like I mentioned, the first time we came, it was for lunch. Then they dropped those complimentary cheesy muffins in front of us, I was befuddled, beside myself and just bewildered. They were AMAZING. I could've eaten JUST THOSE for lunch and been so happy. However, for lunch I wanted something light and went with their Chopped Southern Salad which consists of smoked chicken, smoked onions, sweet corn, cheddar cheese, bacon, cucumber, tomatoes, almonds and homemade croutons then tossed in house-made vinaigrette. It was delightfully fresh, yet filling and savory. I loved it. However, I saw they had smoked wings so on my next visit I came in for those... I was able to try 2 flavors, their Buffalo and Morgan Co. White Sauce (also knows as Alabama BBQ sauce). They were DELIGHTFUL. This may have been the first time I was able to try an Alabama BBQ sauce and I really liked it's savory-ness. It's a mayonnaise-based sauce which gives it its white color and rounded flavor. The Buffalo was thick and hearty, better than a watery traditional Buffalo sauce. On my 3rd visit I tried out their Combo Plate. On it was their smoked turkey, fried catfish and beef brisket. On the side was a salad and a lil' cup of mac & cheese. The food was so delicious it really made me think this place was like a one-off. Much to my surprise there are Jim 'N' Nick's BBQ places ALL OVER THE SOUTH! Nice job guys.Value: It's a BBQ place and usually they aren't cheap. I feel like $30.00 is enough to come here and pig out with!In conclusion, I loved it here... That's why I hit this place up 3 times. Lol. I will certainly pay this place a return visit or check out another one if I'm in the area!

Jim & Nicks is a restaurant/SoulFood institution, and if u will, in the Ham. If you have not heard of Jim and Nick's, u r clearly not from round these parts. Now, first things first, and if u choose to drop by, order whatever u like, just make sure to get the "Morgan COUNTY sauce" to accompany/compliment it. All dishes r fully licensed and approved as literal southern delicacies. #SouthernGentleman #MississippiNativeIf the food in here does not represent Southern cook'n at its finest, son i will eat this hat.... #ADriftersTale

y'all are retarded, anytime I have ever order from Jim n nicks there has never been everything there, not once do y'all give me the shit I pay for.

Service was excellent!! Servers were very nice and quick with refills on drinks and bread!! The food was good besides the brisket being extremely salty (had my salt intake for the next 3 days). Other than that everything was tasty. There is a fun find the pig game in the restaurant (disclaimer it's meant for children).

After scrolling Yelp trying to find a place to stop for lunch on our way to Chattanooga, we landed on Jim n Nicks. The vibe is kind of like a mugshots vibe with photos all around the walls. Our server was attentive and kind. He brought our delectable little biscuits and drinks out quickly. (They have the good ice!) It was hard to decide what to order because everything sounded good. I decided on the BBQ chicken sandwich and it was a whole thigh deboned and put on a toasted bun. Divine doesn't begin to cover how good and tender it was. Their BBQ sauce is a thin, vinegar forward sauce and it's sooo good! My man got a brisket sandwich that was oh so good as well. Their Mac n cheese is pretty good for a restaurant Mac n cheese. Would eat there again.
