Hands down the best BBQ I’ve had in Colorado. Pulled pork had excellent flavor even sans sauce, and brisket was tender and fresh. Highly recommended.

Not very impressed. Service is slow. Meat was very fatty. Mac and cheese was dry and had no flavor. I’m waiting now 10 minutes just to pay my bill. We won’t be back. Famous Dave’s is way better.

I have been here several times through the drive thru, since they opened. I am not sure I will go back after last month 4/2016, when I ordered ribs and they were no longer the tender moist ribs I had before. This time they were dry and burnt on the sides. They had the sauce on them and then had been cooked too long… that kind of thing. Oh well so much for Jim and Nick’s for me. Spending good money on BBQ it needs to be good, as I am from Kansas City! ;)

The staff in the drive-thru is rude every time I visit. Would love for a manager to observe them. Food is great, customer service is lacking.

Seems that management have changed but also the staff. I am Disabled with a service dog. The old crew late me pick where we could sit. Now it’s been 10min and no one has came to the table. They sat us at booth. It’s clearly a point that they have issues with people that handicap. Now it’s been 10 min. And still no one. I am trying to talk to the manager. The finally the manager came out. I explained that there is no one on this side. That waiter didn’t know either. I feel that they need to have training with people that are disabled. Manager position paid for lunch. That was nice for her to do. The staff needs to be trained.

Came here with my teenage sons for a quick bite. Renee was our server and she provided great friendly service. First of all, the cheddar biscuits are ridiculous and always delicious — tore up a few baskets We had BBQ — pulled pork, spare ribs and smoked turkey, with Mac and cheese and collard green sides. The meats were all good, but the spare ribs stood out; not fatty and great flavor. The greens were amongst best I’ve had, not soggy not too salty. Definitely, a reason why this place is always busy.

Come here for a quick, family dinner with decent tasting food. Our mistake was having wrong expectations. They should not be high for a barbecue place that has a drive thru. Sadly, we were out for a decent dinner with drinks but got a dinner you could get at a diner. We ordered drinks from the bar, assured they had Moscow mules. We were disappointed; no copper mugs, no ginger beer, and that means no mule.

We stopped here after doing some shopping at Southlands and from beginning to finish, the experience was top notch. Our server was awesome – prompt, friendly and knowledgeable and the menu was extensive and had something for everyone. I’ve only had Jim and Nicks catered in at work before so I’ve never had the complete experience so I was excited to try it in house. I wanted something lighter but didn’t want to be the girl at the bbq joint having a salad so I got the baked potato loaded with meat of your choice, bacon, cheese, butter and sour cream. It was a baked potato on steroids! The baked potato was ginormous and ended up lasting me through THREE meals! I love that they have sauce on the table, traditional and spicy, so you can add as you like. Who knew a chain place could be so wonderful?

Love coming here. BBQ is very good. Wait staff is good. Place can get loud and busy, but that’s to be expected.

Everybody in our family loves Jim and Nicks! Anytime we have people in from out of town, this is definitely a spot that we brag about and introduce them to! The drive thru is super convenient on those busy week nights! We have tried just about everything in the menu at one point, and have never been disappointed. The standing favorites are Prime Rib on the weekends and the beef brisket. The cheese biscuits are addicting and the kids meals are quality. We will be customers for many years to come.

I may or may not have started eating before I took this picture, but can you blame me?! I love me some BBQ, and Jim & Nick’s does not disappoint – I mean, ever! It is consistently ridiculously and wonderfully good. I usually order the brisket plate or sandwich because you can never go wrong with slow-cooked, meaty, BBQ goodness. But today, I chose the prime-rib which is only offered on Fridays & Saturday’s. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked to medium perfection. The collard greens and Mac &Cheese(which happen to be my choice of sides every time I come) were absolutely delectable. Although I skipped out on the side of cheesy bread that comes with every meal, trust me when I tell you – DON’T. They are the perfect combination of salty, cheeses, with a hint of sweet, and if you have no self control, you will probably fill up on the bread and just have to take your meal home – I know, tragic. My dinner cost $ 23 but most of the dishes at Jim ‘n Nick’s cost $ 12-$ 15; so, unless you’re feeling fancy like me, you will be pleased with the prices on the menu. This restaurant has such a cute, feel-good, family ambience to it, and the servers are all bubbly & sweet– you will keep coming back once you try it for the first time.

We came here tonight for this seminar thing that my chiropractor runs. We accidentally showed up 30mins early and the kid at the door told us there was nothing on tonight and no large bookings or anything. We made a few phone calls and it turns out that the kid was misinformed. So after a confusing 10 minutes or so, we sat at the bar and had two large beers, came to over $ 12 before tip! I was glad then that dinner was provided by the chiro. The food was alright, but something was funky with the collard greens, too much vinegar or something. Not very nice. We had a selection of meat, not sure exactly what everything was but everything I ate was pretty good. The cheesy muffin things were really good too.

Always great service at this location. The smoked turkey is out of the world amazing, I wish the portion was twice the size. We usually do the 3 meat combo so we have leftovers. I do turkey, brisket, and hot link. Hubs does spare ribs brisket and hot links. I am sad that they no longer have creamed spinach because nobody does it as good as they used to. Mac n cheese is always a solid go to but nothing compared to that spinach they used to have. Ohh and those tiny delicious biscuits… Omg yum. The waitress told me to Google the recipe since it’s on the internet and she makes them all the time. I’m excited to try it out. Thanks for another great experience.

We went on a Tuesday night at 5:30p and were one of maybe 4 tables of people. The service was lackluster considering there were more servers than tables of people. I expected more. In fact, my water was not refilled once the entire time we were there and it was empty beginning halfway through our meal. The food was just ok and EXTREMELY overpriced for what you get. Not worth the price in my opinion. I have had much better BBQ for much less money many times before. The only item I would say knocked it out of the park were the biscuits.

Went to Jim n Nicks today for lunch with my gal and was very unimpressed by the staff. Our server, Alberto, was very unattentitve to our needs, because we are a younger couple he probably thought that we were in high school and hadnt worked in food service for 3 years of both of our lives so he probably didnt expect a tip. He came and greeted us kind of quickly but then it took him almost ten minutes to get our drinks after he asked us what we ordered to drink twice, then he kept talking to another server the whole time and we watched him put our order in almost 10 minutes after we had told him it. Then when they bring out the food(not even Alberto another server ran it for him.) My girlfriends mac and cheese was a gross hard brick of pasta, so we asked them to remake it and the difference was so gross i had to take a picture. Mind you all of this was at 3 in the afternoon and the store was not busy at all.

Loved it. Everything was fresh. I could taste the smoked flavor in every dish. The wings were surprisingly delicious also. Will come back again.

Maybe I was disappointed because I have a smoker and grew up learning BBQ, but even passed flavor and smoke preferences the most disappointing part was the portions for the prices. We ordered out a lot of BBQ for a party a while ago and felt we were totally shorted. Also was VERY disappointed in the Mac and cheese side. Bleh. It was mushy, bland and gross.

Wish I could give this Jim and Nicks a negative Star. If you like bbq that taste like its been in a refrigerator for about 3 days and heated in a microwave you’ll love this place. How can a place like this stay open? It was horrible!

Jim and Nicks is a good local restaurant we enjoy going to ! The staff is nice and I like the ambiance. Food is good and service is fast ! They give you cheddar cornbread on the table and drinks promptly. They have good bbq sauce, one regular and one spicy. Pretty good experience except a couple times they seem to run out and lack items. Twice my mom tried to get the chocolate pie and they were out, no big deal though. But it is a good restaurant overall. Just a couple of mishaps. Sweet tea is excellent and lots of food options and portion sizes are larger and defiantly worth your money. Outdoor seating and bbq sauce for sale also good for kids. I went again last night and it was a great time ! Our server was so friendly and attentive to us she refilled our drinks and even brought us extra cups of ice as well just being friendly and outgoing.
