First time here. Seated immediately, served within 10 min. Got the classic pulled pork BBQ with 2 sides. Server attentive, loved the casual relaxed atmosphere. Recommend!

The collard greens and mac & cheese are great, but the cheese biscuits are incredible! Try the homemade lemonade! Service is solid. You might have to wait a while depending on the time of day, but the pulled pork and brisket are worth it!
Lynne Chandler
Delicious food! I had the salad with smoked chicken...the chicken was moist, tender, and delicious. Luis served us with finesse! I will definitely be back!

I ordered here twice and both times were to-go orders so I really can’t speak too much on service. When I’ve come to pick up my food, there wasn’t anyone at the register but a few minutes wait they would get my name and bring my order right out. Each time I placed an order online, the food was ready on time.
My first visit, I ordered the two meat plate. Short ribs and pulled pork. Huge box of food. It comes with two sides. I opted for the Mac n cheese and collard greens. With the two meat option, you can choose what kind of sauce you want for each meat that comes on the side. I ordered the regular bbq sauce which was a little sweet and tart. The pulled pork was dry and not much flavor. The short ribs were delicious!!! The Mac n cheese was average and creamy. The collard greens were also delicious. The star of the meal was the cheddar biscuits OMG!!! They are little mini biscuits but they were so fresh and soft, a little sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed those biscuits with my meal.
The second trip, I got the short ribs with double fries. It comes with like 3/4 ribs but they were chopped up so it seemed like more. The fries were okay. One would have been enough for me, I just didn’t want any other sides like baked beans, slaw, Mac n cheese or greens. The ribs were good without the sauce but I did put a little bit on a couple of the ribs. The ribs are a good size and worth the price. Again, it comes with two biscuits and they were fresh and delicious. A consistent flavor on both visits.
I will try the brisket on my next visit. Definitely has become my go to spot for ribs and biscuits.

I purchased a “30$ Three meats plate “off of their uber eats menu. I was very let down the portions were alot smaller then id normally receive dining in. I dont understand. DINING IN Is normally a pleasure! Would you pay 30$

Sierra and Maribeth have excellent customer service skills!!! Very busy night and they were short staffed. Both handled the crowd easily and remained friendly throughout it all. Foods always good, I’ve been coming here for years.
Audrey Cohen
So this time around, it's not so good. Food cold. Informed waitress. She took back, and it gets sent back a second time colder. We ask for it to be boxed. Waitress says she spoke with GM. I'm not happy at all with this visit. I've taken back several hundred dollars in potatoes but never again. Unappreciated!
Just Cherelle
As an African American woman potato salad means everything. When I tell you the potato salad at Jim N Nick's tastes like your southern mama made it 😋 ,I'm not kidding. The potato salad is so good I wondered if my mama was in their kitchen. The cheese biscuits are better than red lobster but back to the potato salad. You can order it for a party it's that good Jim and Nick's should have already started selling this potato salad in the grocery store next to Bob Evans because Bob Evans has nothing on this potato salad trust me so if you're stopping through or you're in the area try to potato salad get those cheese biscuits I am not steering you wrong.

Food was awesome definitely recommend the turkey, pulled chicken and the catfish.
To complement the great food we had an awesome server Luis. He treated us like family made our experience spectacular.
Want great service to go with you food request him.
Also if it’s your first time take his recommendations. Can’t tell you how refreshing it is for someone to hear you and understand that dining should be fully enjoyable.
Justin Wilson
tl;dr: Incredible spot for drive thru BBQ and chicken.
I have been coming to this place for at least a decade and it has remained consistent in quality and food options. Great BBQ and chicken, and their cheese biscuits are incredible.
Recently, we had a couple hiccups on some orders, but a manager has either resolved everything or reached out personally. Super impressed. Definitely recommend.
Angela Miller
Food was amazing. Came out fast. The pulled pork was dry but still packed with flavor. Loved the loaded bake potato with pulled brisket. Honestly all for a great price too.
Lorraine Harris
My first time ordering (Ubeteats)from this restaurant. I was really pleased.
I ordered a couple of dishes, as opposed to a "dinner meal".
Since I'm new to area, Iam trying to experience various restaurants.
I had the Brisket Chilli, chicken tenders, coleslaw, and potato salad.
Tracey Black
We placed a large catering order from Jim n Nick’s (Steele Creek) this past weekend in Charlotte. Not only was the food exceptional, but the entire experience was amazing. From figuring out how much food we needed, to placing the actual order, paying, and picking up the food, Laura and Robert Hicks were wonderful to work with!
They made the entire process so incredibly easy and they are absolutely the best that we have ever encountered. They were kind, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. I can not say enough good things about this Jim n Nick’s location and all of their staff! We will definitely be back!😊
Brad Engelbrecht
I had the baby back ribs and my wife had the beef brisket. Cooked to perfection! We tried the mad, collards and potato salad and all were mouthwatering delicious. Shanda the manager stopped by the table and chatted for a bit. She is passionate and one of the best managers I have ever encountered. We will be back next week for date night.
Nicole Foor
My boyfriend and I have been coming to this location for years and it never disappoints! Came in on Tuesday for some wings and a baked potato. YUM! Our bartender Courtney was amazing and the manager, Anthony, checked in on us to make sure everything was great. Highly recommend this place!
Crystal Vineyard
Absolutely the best BBQ place I've been too. They were so friendly, actually talked to my daughter and niece about their food. Never been to a place that asks the kids about their food. Waitress was very sweet, constantly checked on us. I highly recommend this place!!!
Samantha Kerrie Mason
Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. The best bbq I’ve had in a long time! Very clean place! Would recommend to anyone who thinks they’ve had good bbq. Also did I mention the awesome biscuits
Dawn K. Everly
EVERYTHING is always excellent here! It's worth the almost 2 hour drive there to eat! Our waitress, Tasha, was the best! Food came out fast! Drinks were kept full! She has the best personality! Loved her and the food!!!
Jeff Crane
The Carolina vinegar bbq was good, but would have been great if I had some extra vinegar sauce to put on there myself. The mac n cheese is fantastic
Nicole Noles
Food was amazing.. Mike the manager and our server Molly were great!!! Some of the best food I have ever had... can’t wait to go back.. this is my new favorite place to eat!! Thinking of ways to trick my husband into thinking that I have two birthdays so I can have more occasions to eat here!!! Lol
Foulla Pahountis
The service was good but the other location on 521 is way better I always have the brisket it was well done over cooked! They were nice enough to exchange it but even the second portion was still not tasty or soft like at their other store! A little disappointed this time
Debbie Denson Campbell
Food was good - not as good as it has been in the past.. Saw our waiter 3 times - take our order, bring our food, and bring the bill. We never had a "how is your food" or "would you like something else to drink". Was disappointed.
April Joines
I had the smoked chicken sandwich and Philip had the bbq ...we shared our plates. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had, and the best bbq, too!!! Service was awesome and friendly, and whenever my sweet tea got low it was immediately topped off! Enjoyable surroundings, and we will definitely be returning soon!
Elizabeth N Kelly
OK. My rating is actually 4.5 stars. We got the Deluxe family platter to sample everything. Food was really good all around. Staff were friendly and it was well worth the price. Will definitely be back...
Sharon Cook Watkins
Consistently good food. Our server was a little scattered yesterday, not checking on us or refilling beverages. Usually Service is top-notch.
Tom Jordan
The food was good, the service was good, and I enjoyed my meal very much so. Very good place to eat.
MaryBeth Wyatt Fehr
Just moved to the Charlotte, Steele Creek area, from Ohio and this was our first visit. Jim and Nick’s was undoubtedly the BEST barbecue ever! And we lived in Texas for many years where we ate good barbecue, but not as good as Jim and Nick’s! AND the collards — oh boy— to die for!
Terry Wilson
The food is great and the atmosphere is spot on. The brisket is excellent and the sides are always fresh.
Jessica Chandler Hall
We had an AMAZING experience with Jim ‘N Nicks at Concord Mills! I was hosting a baby shower this Saturday, and unfortunately the caterer cancelled last minute. I immediately called Jim ‘N Nicks and spoke with Cooper, the manager on duty. He literally saved the day! He went up and above to make sure we had exactly what we needed to accommodate our guests. Top notch customer service! He even had his staff to help put the food in the car when we got there and he called back later in the day to ensure we were satisfied. The guests raved about how delicious the food was! Thank you Cooper and the Jim ‘N Nicks staff of Concord! Top notch!
Tommy Cary
As for my meat options, the Carolina-style pork means eastern NC pork as indicated by the visible red pepper flakes in the sauce the meat is chopped in. Despite those pepper flakes, the pork wasn’t overly spicy but was tender.
Scott
Chips are really good and so are the riblets. The pulled pork is good as well. The habenero sauce is recommended. The service was quick but needed to be more attentive. Recommended.
Scott W.
Pretty disappointed considering how good the reviews are. I got eastern NC pork. While the flavor of the vinegar sauce was good there was nothing super spectacular about it. Ive had better eastern NC pork elsewhere. My wife got spare ribs. They were fine but again not great. Collard greens were very good. Mac n cheese just ok and the cheese biscuits (more accurately cheese muffin), were just weird. Overall considering how much we paid it didn't stand out.
Nevin J. Mindlin
The BBQ is really good. I had the beef. Other family members had the pork. It was really tasty, and the portions were plentiful. The mac & cheese was cheesy - very good. The slaw was great. I'm told the bake beans have some zing. The local craft IPA was a perfect match. This is part of a southern chain, but you wouldn't know it by the quality of the food.
Joe D.
My favorite dine out meal while down in Charlotte last weekend. I couldn't leave NC without having some BBQ. We stopped by Jim & Nicks early before the dinner rush and they gave our party one of the large corner booths. Our server was on the ball with water and and some corn bread from the get go. Then taking our drink and dinner orders. <br/><br/>I went with their Classic Style Chopped Pork BBQ sandwich and it was delicious! Along with that I ordered fresh cut fries and baked beans. After doing the initial tasting I added their Spicy BBQ Sauce to the sandwich and wow did that add some POP to it. The fresh cut fries were delicious and the baked beans were infused with BBQ. Just really really good stuff here! The meal was a home run!<br/><br/>I wish I had picked up a bottle of their Spicy sauce and after taking a look at their website I found that you can buy it online. w00t! <br/><br/>All in all an excellent stop for dinner. I can't wait to go again and wish they had a J&N closer to home back here in Norfolk, VA.
Ratherbein
They SUCK!!!!!. OMG! Second time I tried this place and THEY SUCK!!!!! They say "yes ma'am, yes ma'am" but ignore everything you say! Twice I asked for "extra bark" (the end cut) on my pulled pork and both times I got a prepackaged saran-wrapped baggie of pork dumped in a styrofoam box. There was no attempt to fulfill my request...for the SECOND TIME. ...and the last time I went I saw a huge black dude scoop ice into his personal cup WITH HIS HAND out of the drivethrough ice bin RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!!!!<br/><br/>DON'T GO TO THIS LOCATION...IT'S A COMPLETE JOKE!!!!!!!!!!
Bob
Smoked Beef Brisket!. I always enjoy trying different NC BBQ joints when visiting the Charlotte area on business. So many choices we all went with the Meat and Two Trimmings combo. The sliced Beef Brisket was so tender and just the right amount of smokiness. The Pulled NC BBQ was overdone, and even adding sauce really did not bring it back to life. The Mac N Cheese had a nice spicy kick to it, the coleslaw which was vinegar based was dried out. Enjoyed the cheese biscuits and the rib lets to start. Service was good, had a nice selection of beer both the usual domestics, and OMB Micro Copperhead, which went well with our BBQ.
Summer Wilcox
Best service I've had in Charlotte. Cheesy buiscits are fresh and amazing. Everything is fresh. No freezers. I inhaled the Mac and cheese. Creamed collards was a new and delicious thing for me. My glass of sweet tea never went empty. Ordered Carolina pork and spare ribs. Leftovers for dinner!
ThehungryPHOTOG
Not so good and nothing special. We were in town for the day and wanted g-o-o-d Carolina bbq. I don't like pulled pork (unless it's homemade) so ribs, brisket, and chicken parts are usually what I get when I eat out. We ordered the 3lbs of spare ribs, fried green tomatoes and the baked mac n cheese and spit it. Our waitress was superb & attentive ......a young lady from upstate NY. Her recommendations were on point 60/40. Yes the portions are large. Yes everything seemed pretty fresh. Yes, the mac n cheese is crazy good. Cheese biscuits & the ribs ......not so much. For dry rubbed & smoked meat it was rather flavorless. No smoke hints at all. The ribs had to have been sauced at some point as well because the outer skin was caramelized and tough and over all salty and not pleasing. Not even a little. Each ribs was thick and nice but since their wasn't any smoke flavor, the thick ribs were porky (gamey). There's a bbq spot in Newport News Virginia called SMOKE. If you're ever in the area give them a try if you appreciate smoked foods .....they know how to flavor meat.
Meagsandbacon
Food and service is always great! We go all the time, but our last trip was kind of a let down. Our waitress was rarely at the table. At one time we were ready to go and we didn't see her for 30 minutes!
Mike Smith
Can't go wrong. They do it right every time I've been there. Its elevated and well executed food. Last time I went we got some hots links, which are fabulously spicy and flavorful, mac and cheese, which just made me happy and the 1920 cheeseburger, which like a lot of really good things is simple, fresh and well-prepared. Rarely have I enjoyed a burger and mac cheese so much.
CB
After traveling all over a 50 mile radius of Charlotte searching for the best "Q", Jim N Nicks Steele Creek takes it. Hell, they hit it out of the park! It isnt NC barbeque though. They are from Alabama so don't go expecting a pepper/vinegar or mustard based sauce. Regardless, its the best around y'all!!
Carmac
Did not like at all. Ordered the BBQ nachos and found very little bbq meat, hardly any cheese. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich and found huge chunks of fat throughout, no lean meat. Overpriced. Would not go back, big disappointment.
Cathie
Delicious BBQ and outstanding service. Love this place!
The Check Please
The Barbeque rocks .. coming from a SC boy
Aubrntigers
The food was ok but it was not anything special. the barbecue lacked flavor but the sides were pretty good. midwood barbeque in charlotte was much better to me.
Alfalfa
The food and atmosphere are good, but I go here for the staff. Some of the best folks and service you'll find in food service today.
Chris Jaramillo
AMAZING!!!. I had NEVER eaten here until tonight. Parking lot was FULL and seemed VERY crowded, in fact the restaurant was VERY busy, HOWEVER there was MORE than enough seating for everyone. My partner and I walked in the door and was greeted by the hostess, I asked her on the way to the table to be honest and tell me what she personally thought of the food, Her comment was "addictive" so far...so good. She walked us to our table and told us our server would be right with us. Within 1 min the sever "Ronnie" came over and greeted us, asked us for our drink order and if we would like an appetizer, he brought us our drinks and some cheese bread (that is given to you when you come in). We ordered the BBQ Quesadillas (with chicken) OMG the flavor was AMAZING. You could tell chicken was fresh and prepared well. After a few minutes Ronnie came back with our Quesadilla's and took our food order. I had the Rib eye (which is 12 oz) with the loaded baked potato and a side salad. I always order my steak medium. So this steak was NO different. Normally when you order a steak medium...it's NEVER right. HOWEVER, at Jim 'n Nick's it was just right...from the look to the flavor. My partner ordered the "more cluck for your buck" Chicken was GREAT. The only complaint we had with the BBQ chicken was the BBQ sauce. There was TOO much BBQ sauce on the chicken, but it still had a good flavor. NOT one time did I or my Partner have to ask for a drink refill Ronnie made sure our glasses were full. After dinner he asked us if we wanted desert, however...we were TOO full. Both of the portions of the Chicken and the Rib eye was enough to fill us. After Ronnie brought the check and I paid...I ask to speak to the Manager (John Miller) I told him that you always hear the negative and NEVER hear the positive. He was very attentive and listen to what I had to say and then thanked me for my comments (which was awesome, most people just say thank you and walk away). He also offered me his business card (which I took). Needless to say WE WILL BE BACK. Thank you again Ronnie and John for a job well done!<br/><br/>Thank you!<br/>Chris "CJ" Jaramillo

Best Burger I have ever had/Huge Bang for Buck. I travel more than the average person. I am always on the lookout for that special Burger which is few and far between. But I just happened into Jim and Nick's and ordered the Southern Burger. OMG!!!!! The best burger I have ever had anywhere. Even better than Port of Call in New Orleans. The meat was quality and cooked to medium perfection with probably 1/2 Lb of beef. It was a mere $7.99 with a side. I chose the creamed spinach. How do they make any money?
Dixie On My Mind
I lived in NC for over two years, and looked high & low for BarBQ that was worthy of all the hoopla the TV folks proclaim (NC as being one of the top four best places in the US for BarBQ)..... IMHO Jim n Ricks (& Mac's Speed Shop) is the best in NC..... Real / true southern BarBQ ( ;
Cheard
AL style BBQ Chain. This restaurant from Birmingham, AL offers an attractive environment for families seeking BBQ. This is not traditional NC BBQ; however, the pulled pork is better than many other BBQ restaurants in Charlotte which also do not serve traditional NC BBQ. Members of my party also ordered satisfactory BBQ chicken and brisket.
Top-Notch Guy
JACKPOT BBQ. This is everything a BBQ spot is ment to be. Had the the Pitmaster's plate with brisket & had to split it with girlfriend. It was OUTSTANDING, along with the service (Ruthy). May go back in a day or two and try again, this time for the smoked prime rib.
MMMMTasty
YUM!. This was really really good bbq! IMO way better than Mac's (which is way overrated anyway) My husband and I split the pitmaster's plate and were both full and very happy. Everything was fantastic..cheddar biscuits are awesome!! I will definitely be back!!
Stef77de
Loved the food. Friendly service. Oh, and I love those biscuits they serve at the beginning
Acmuller3
Now granted there was a power outage in the area so they were really busy. However, after browsing the menu and telling our waitress what we wanted she told us "we are out of that". Could have told us that upfront right? So we were like... Ok, cool we can deal with that so we order something else...waitress comes back a couple minutes later and said "we are out of that also" Really?! Asked the waitress if they are telling the people coming thro ugh the door they are out certain foods...she says we wrote it on the daily special board that you view coming through the door...um no SHE LIED! Why? Very disappointed, but we stayed and ordered something else. They took the drinks off but nothing else. No coupons to come back nothing...pretty disappointed.
Timothy Hill
Delicious BBQ and Great Staff. I love every second of every visit to Jim 'n Nick's BBQ. The food is perfect and the staff is always the best. This is probably my favorite BBQ place in Charlotte.
Malissa Thomas
Awesome is Food and Service Combined. Dinner tonight at Jim 'n Nicks consisted of the Sausage and short ribs, collars, onion rings and their famous bread.<br/><br/>As per the usual, dinner was awesome. Tasting the sausage for the first time, it was a wonderful blend of BBQ and spices. The ribs were great and if my lips were not in jeopardy of falling off, I would have put the habanero sauce on everything. The onion rings are the best I've eaten because the onion is still crunchy and when you bite into the onion ring, the onion doesn't come sliding out the batter in the first bite. It's crispy all the way through and makes for the perfect side dish. One more thing we've come to expect from Jim 'n Nick's is the super customer service. The wait staff is awesome, upbeat and knowledgeable. They now the menu and ingredients like they are proud of them. We even had a waitress just coming in and not on the clock to hold the door as we left hoping we had a great meal. Yes, ma'am, we did!
Jamers8510
A thousand times better than Macs. I will never go to Mac's again for BBQ. This place is amazing! Not only do they have an amazing menu, they offer pulled chicken in addition to pulled pork. The drink specials are great, the staff is wonderful and I am incredibly impressed by my first visit. I will be back again and again!
Hungrywanderers
The food was fine, but nothing to write home about.. Certainly, an acceptable choice in a pinch, but there are too many good restaurants in Charlotte to put this one on the wishlist.
Patrick
Good Cheese Bread!. Love their free cheese bread, its just as good as the BBQ!
Charliehound
Great brisket. Wonderful Mac and cheese and Cole slaw.
Tim
Love me some Jim n nicks
Jennifer Cain Hennes
Love this place. Friendly wait staff and great food. If you want a really good salad, try the pig in the fasten salad with pulled pork. Yummy
Charles Torreiro
Great Southern Eating Experience. From the moment Cheryl our waitress got to our table I knew it was going to be a great meal. Comfortable seating, rustic decor, extremely clean, and friendly staff.<br/>Now back to Cheryl, when we mentioned we weren't sure what we wanted, she ran thru the list of fabulous eats that this establishment prepares.<br/>We selected a combo platter for two, so we could sample almost everything, spicy sausage, pulled porc, spare ribs and Brisket. Sides were Creamy slaw, Mashed potatoes, collard greens, fried green tomatoes. All of which were prepared in house.<br/>I give all of it 5 stars!!! <br/>Great meal.
H2andTam
Great BBQ and worth the extra $ compared to other chains!

Dry Brisket - slow service. On June 30 I ate lunch at Jim 'n Nick's Barbeque in Charlotte. I hadn't had good barbecued brisket in a while so I ordered the Brisket Plate. After a somewhat long wait (the place wasn't very full, my meal arrived. After my first bite, I knew I had made the wrong choice. The brisket was dry and lacking in flavor. I would have sent it back but the service was so poor that my waitress didn't return to see how I liked my meal. (In fairness to her, I was seated in the bar and my waitress was also the bartender and ran the takeout order counter in addition to waiting tables in the bar.) My iced tea glass also stayed empty way too long. $14.50 for dry, flavorless brisket is not my idea of a good meal. The collards were good and the barbeque beans were over-sauced. Also, Jim 'n Nick's uses the tiny pork and beans type of bean rather than pintos. When I complained about the brisket at checkout (I had to go to the bar and ask for my check), my waitress said "you should have told me and I would have brought you another plate." I will not be back there and don't recommend this overpriced establishment.
Dave Coan
I like it but not for the price you pay

GREAT FOOD. THIS FOOD IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD, I LOVE EVERTHING ESPECIALLY THE HOT FISH! YUMMY!
Anne Lippard
Anne Lippard. I was at a party last week and Jim N Nick's catered it... I want to tell you.... this is the best food I have ever had... I am telling everyone about you.... Will you have other locations in Charlotte NC later? Keep up the good work... I love this place... Can't wait to come in and try other dishes...
Travis Wilson
Favorite BBQ. This is by far my favorite BBQ spot. The food is great!! And make sure you get some of the complimentary cheese biscuits... I've never had a cheese biscuit before and didn't like the sound of it but those things were delicious! I've only had one problem at this restaurant and the manager quickly resolved the issue.
John
Best chain Barbecue. I really like everything I have had here. I will say some of the local family owned NC barbecue is better, but not as consistent and inviting as Jim 'n Nick's.
The Fake Foodie
On our way to enjoy a frightful night at Scarowinds and decided since we were in the area… we should try a new restaurant (imagine that)...
Wayne Brown
Again, some items were excellent (the hot links, for example), but I guess I just had higher expectations.
Chad Bordeaux
I was excited to see the new barbecue restaurant opening near my home- Jim 'N Nick's. It seems like the built it in no time once they broke ground. I visited it for the first time last week, with mixed reviews. The atmosphere was extremely nice and it see
