“The lady that waited on me NAME is BRENDA she gave me excellent service. The owner of Magic city Grill was very nice and made sure we got everything we needed great hospitality. I will go back there to eat !!!Parking: Plenty of parking in the front of the Restaurant and the back“
“This is the best wing spot in the city. Everything…I mean everything is ALWAYS fresh even the fries. I like my food scalding hot and this is always up to par. The catfish is clean and doesnt have that overpowering fishy taste. The wings are of the perfect proportion ie not too big and not too small. The grape drink is immensely flavorful. When I think of hot wings this is my first goto. Idc if I’m in centerpoint I will drive all the way here.“
“Most CRUNCHY and delicious fried sandwich I've ever had and! The places is nicely decorated and the quality of the food is great.Brunswick stew I'll have to try again because this time it was just ok.Would definitely recommend this place to any one of my friends and family.Parking: Park right in front of it with my 21" van“
“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!“
“I have made a weekly visit to this place in the last three weeks. I've only tried the bacon and fried green tomatoes, the smoked sausages, and the banana pudding, but have thoroughly enjoyed every bite of it. Definitely 10 out of 10.“
“Ok, my intentions were to take pictures of our beautiful meal, but me and my husband could not wait. We usually have good conversations at dinner. Not today we were so off into our wonderful meal. It Will leave you breathless. Everything taste GREAT!!! Even the dessert. We will definitely be back. (tomorrow, lololol ??) Hoover location.“
“Do you like mouthwatering food with live music and an atmosphere so great it felt un-earthly? If so, The Palm and Pig is for you. The Smoked wings are simply to die for. Staff is kind, welcoming, and friendly. They go above and beyond to serve both on the floor and in the kitchen, and the results are evident. My only complaint is that I am unable to give this restaurant a Michelin star rating.Parking: Plenty of parking spots“
“I can only eat ribs a couple times a year now because of gout, so I have to choose carefully to not be disappointed. The rib plate I got today was outstanding. Good flavor and spices, cooked perfectly. Tender but still has texture. I'll be back in a few months. I don't think they have tacos.“
“Best Bar-B-Q EVVAA!! ❣️ I LOVE IT! Very friendly people. It's just a little walk up or drive thru but has been in that spot for some years!Parking: Pork plate chopped, no slaw, with extra fries instead and baked beans is my favorite and they put a bun in the plate. Also a large sweet teaKid-friendliness: Walk up or drive thru onlyWheelchair accessibility: Not positive but pretty sure“
“I stopped by this hidden treasure on my way out of Birmingham and it was fantastic. Fits the definition of home in the wall restaurant to a T…and those are the best restaurants! Fast service and reasonable prices, but the key to their success is the food! And it’s top notch, even for vegetarians. The side dishes are delicious…the Mac and cheese and fries in particular. I’ll definitely come back if ever in Birmingham again!“
“best BBQ! my father was having surgery at highlands and my daughter and I walked there for the lunch. the staff opened early for us as we were waiting outside in the heat. awesome food. great service. awesome decor. perfect music..played kate bush“
“It was a great experience. The staff was very friendly and professional and made sure to check on us through out the entirety of our visit. Food was brought out quickly and everyone’s order was right. I got the wing plate which came with 2 sides and a choose of bread. The food was made fresh to order and tasted really good. The wings were smoked and cooked properly and my 2 sides were onion rings (amazing) and fried okra. The fried okra was whole fried okra.“
“The food is absolutely amazing. The chicken tacos are phenomenal. I’ve visited the food truck twice and we’ve had them cater for the college championship and the Super Bowl. Everything is fresh and flavorful. 10/10 easily ! Keep up the good work !“
“Classic Burger was a whole lot of mouth-watering goodness. I picked up a BBQ sandwich when I was driving through the area, and as a self-proclaimed BBQ connoisseur I can say that this was some tasty BBQ. Service was quick and friendly and I'd happily go back!“
“This place is one of my favorite places in Birmingham/Hoover. Food is great. Service is friendly. All artist are amazing. Sharron is my favorite! The atmosphere is definitely for the grown-ups. Perfect for a date night, anniversary, birthday, girls' night out, or a solo date. You will dance, sing, sway and enjoy the music.“
“Is it good BBQ?Let me put it this way.Anytime I'm in Bham, I intentionally book my hotel across the road from this place, so I can utterly over-eat myself every day, and then waddle my little fat happy and content behind back to my room to stare blissfully at the ceiling for the rest of the night.It's not good, it's outstanding.“
“The food was pretty good I got a grilled chicken sandwhich and onion rings. My only complaint is the price compared to the amount you get for an upcharge on onion rings you should get a little more then you do. Otherwise wonderful food, very friendly people, nice small lil joint to stop into.“
“Well, Jim N Nicks has been in Hoover a long time. It is good BBQ. However popular it may be, I have experienced some issues over time that have lessened my enthusiasm for eating there. The menu now changes annually and several items I have enjoyed have subsequently disappeared from the menu, such as catfish and grilled chicken. If you like their brisket, pork and potatoes you should be ok, but don't get too attached to other menu items. No guys, no one wants Pitmaster Nachos, this ain't Little Donkey. They have removed their grill and that has hurt menu options as well. Food portions have been hit by shrinkflation, but a visit will average 30-40 for a party of two. The staff are generally polite, but may be inattentive at times due to diner volume or tending bar/take outs. The music is extremely loud inside, moreso than most places, so people talk louder. This is the place if you want the music to drown out your in laws' conversation, but not if you are catching up with friends you actually like. As time goes on, my affection for Jim N Nicks changes like their menu. There is better BBQ around at better prices without the ongoing menu regenerations from the marketing department and the inside audio decibels making for an unpleasant dining experience. Stick to the drive thru and eat the cheese biscuits at home.“
“Southern Hospitality in America is real... we took a drive-by to Rodney Scott’s BBQ, here in Homewood, Alabama, to try our luck at 8.30am (service 11am). Looking like a couple of weirdos peering through the windows, the manager, Aaron Shoop, came out to see what we wanted. Explaining that we were from New Zealand and fans of Rodney and BBQ, we were invited in, given the full kitchen tour and then we were offered some menu items for take away (all paid for of course). Great chat with Aaron and Joel Brown about New Zealand BBQ and our trip through the states so far, and a few takeaway tips for hogg cooking and BBQ back home.Setting up a make shift picnic out the back of the SUV in the carpark - we feasted. There's only been 1 other occasion on this trip where my perspective of good BBQ flavor and texture has shifted... this was the second. Pulled whole hogg and ribs. The sauces - WOW!. Oh my! The flavor, the char, and the textures offered were excellent. So good! Mouth watering! Sides of Potato Salad and Slaw were a great addition.With full bellies, we're driving away to our next destination, I feel a sense of satisfaction that only good food can offer. I'll remember this for the rest of my life!Cameron Staples - Auckland, New Zealand -@jointsmokersbbqGlenn Manning - Christchurch, New Zealand - @thesmokinque“

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Receipe is in a guarded local bank valult!! It took me Days to devour them Cookies jus one nibble at a time!!!“
“We stopped in here for lunch after a local recommendation. Overall we were pretty pleased with the experience. Loved that as soon as we walked in they had an open pit there with a variety of meats cooking. A sign said that Monday was their Catfish specials day so I thought I’d try that, that is until I walked in and smelled the smoke from the open pit. I then decided I would have to try their BBQ. I opted for their Low Carb Special which included 2 ribs, your choice of pulled chicken or pork (I chose the pork), and a salad. The meals did not include a beverage so that was extra. My meal ended up being just under $17 which for me seems like a pricey lunch but it was a generous portion of food. The salad was good but nothing spectacular. The ribs were really good, the pulled pork left me disappointed. I enjoy eating my BBQ without adding sauce. To me great BBQ should be able to be enjoyed with just the natural juices, smoke, and seasoning. The pulled pork lacked flavor (smoke or seasoning) and was very dry. Maybe I should have tried it with some sauce added but I’m diabetic so I try to avoid sauces which are normally loaded with sugar. This place is definitely worth a try if you’re looking for an option in the area!“
“This is a typical friendly mom and pop establishment,the service is friendly and the food is good.Baked beans is fair the slaw is excellent as is the fries.There hamburger steak may be the best I’ve had and the gravy and onions on top were delicious.Toast is great and the other meats like sliced barbecue pork is great as well.Only issue is when you order half and half tea it comes out tasting like regular sweet tea.If your watching sugar intake just order unsweetened tea.The atmosphere is really good and family friendly.I would definitely recommend trying this place for good barbecue“
“The name does not Lie. I am driving through Alabama and the word serendipitous is what comes to mind when finding This gem of an establishment. By far the best wings and fries I have had in a very very very long time. Stop here if you are a wing enthusiast!“
