OUR STORY
HOW HUMBLE ROOTS MADE LEGENDARY BBQ
It all began in 1985 in a reclaimed old pizza restaurant on Clairmont Avenue in Birmingham, AL. The formula was simple. Celebrate the heritage of revered bar-b-q masters, cut no corners on the menu, and serve the whole community like family. That philosophy allowed us to create something special. An authentic bar-b-q restaurant with chefs and pitmasters. A nod to our past recipes, with eyes towards the future. Sit down dining on one hand, and a drive-through on the other. 12 hours slow-smoked pork and beef, but served real fast. A celebration of Alabama, but a reverence for the bar-b-q tradition across the South. It’s the kind of place that only happens when you don’t follow the crowd, but instead follow your heart, trust your gut, and simply do things the hard way. Today, Jim ‘N Nick’s has become an icon of the bar-b-q community. One bite and you’ll understand why, there’s only one Jim ‘N Nick’s.
FULL-SERVICE CATERING
FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT ALL
With our full-service catering option, the only finger you’ll have to lift is the one used to place the order. You’ll get the ultimate BBQ experience, featuring our slow-smoked BBQ and homemade sides served by our friendly catering staff. We’ll also set up, maintain, and clean up your buffet. It’s the best way for you and your guests to enjoy all the southern BBQ flavor you want while doing none of the hard work it takes to get it.
DELIVERY AND SET-UP
EVERYTHING BUT THE BBQ PEOPLE
We cook and deliver, you serve and enjoy with our delivery and set-up option. The slow-smoked BBQ and homemade sides you love will be prepped and delivered to your event. Once we’ve set up your buffet we’ll head out and let you take it from there. If a flexible option for DIY service is what you seek, you’ve come to the right place.

HOLIDAY GATHERINGS
MAKE MEMORIES, NOT FOOD.
While we are known for our hickory-smoked BBQ, we realize that you may want something a little more traditional for the holiday season. Throughout November and December, we offer a special holiday menu consisting of festive favorites like smoked turkey breast, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, southern green beans, pies, and more. Who knew stressing over holiday cooking was optional?
