Jim ‘N Nick’s started cooking pork “low and slow” in 1985 when Nick, along with his dad Jim, reclaimed an old pizza parlour on Clairmont Avenue in Birmingham, AL where they opened the first Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q. Over 40 years later, with 59 restaurants in 6 states, Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-B-Q has become a Southern institution. Jim 'N Nick's specializes in Hickory Smoked BBQ and Southern Food in a made-from-scratch, fresh daily kitchen with no freezers. Jim 'N Nick's is about great food and technique rooted in tradition and hospitality that reflects care for staff and guests with friendly service and Southern Hospitality. In addition to amazing, taste like home, fresh food, Jim 'N Nick's prides themselves on friendly service that separates them from the rest, with over-the-top hospitality. Local owners are taught the recipes and techniques, which they then pass on to the cooks and pitmasters in each location. Commitment to the flavors and hospitality of the South drives the team to keep exploring—to continue meeting those who bring real food and soul to the table. The idea is to keep and honor our tradition, but never stop learning. Preserve and perfect the old ways, while always trying to blaze new trails.
