Jim N Nick’s Bar-B-Q

Great cheese biscuits as always. Dinner for two was $ 38 including tip (no alcohol, just soft drinks), which is the only reason I am not giving this a 5* rating. Buffalo chicken tenders are delicious and very good fries (not frozen).
We’re in the off-​season now, so even at 7:00 on a Friday night we walked right in and sat right down. Word to the wise: don’t expect to do this during the spring or summer! Our server was fine, although our order was very straightforward, so can’t say much either way about that.

Not busy at all for a Monday evening. Sat right down and got to work. Server brought some cheese muffins for a starter, they’re free and good. Depending on the size of your party I’d stick to one basket so you can save room for the main event. I ordered the two item plate of pulled pork and hot sausage links. With baked beans and hand cut fries for the sides. The meats were really good, the sides were average, the service could use some work. Our guy kept asking us if we wanted a box while we were still eating. Pretty annoying when you’ve got a mouth full of food. Aside from that, the place was real good.

Forget what I said. The food was God awful, I had a huge burnt fat cap on my # of pork, which was mixed in with ham. Are you serious? People can tell the difference between pulled pork and ham. Maybe 4 or 5 onion rings in an order that cost an outrageous amount and the loaded potato that was under cooked and loaded with… well next to nothing. A couple bacon bits, little curdled sour cream and a chive or scallion or 2. They advertise cheese but 3 shreds of cheddar is far from that.
I called and complained because the restaurant is 30 minutes away from my home and we got it to go, which I know offers its own set of issues, but this order was botched. They were super nice and understanding and promised «we will take care of your order, we will refund it entirely!!» I was rather impressed… untill i see that as of today the order was still not refunded. I mean come on… there were pieces of chicken and brisket in my other platter that were unrecognizable. They did give us a lot of bbq sauce though… like that matters.

Went on taco Tuesday – the Sergio taco is awesome, pork and fish very good also. Chicken so so. Collard greens and Cole slaw have a good unique southern flavor. Good place

First of all, this is a scary place for people who are gluten free (more so for celiac, I wouldn’t go here if I had celiacs)!! We were on vacation and someone mentioned they wanted bbq, and this place was just down the street. It’s pretty campy/​stereotypical. Our waitress was awesome. We had 6 adults and two small kids. She started us off with a basket of cheesy muffins, which apparently were divine. Ordered drinks and then ordered food. I can’t remember what each person got, I know there were some combo plates ordered, but I ordered the pulled pork nachos and they were pretty good. Very filling, too bad nachos are one of those foods that just don’t taste as good as the first few initial bites, I wish I could have taken them home! I’m a sucker for pulled pork.
For a quick filling meal around the beach area, I would recommend it.

We left happy. After years and years of running by the old Niceville location we popped in one visit and enjoyed ourselves. I had them make me up my favorite turkey sammy; sliced turkey, pickles, lettuce, onion, mayo, bacon, and cheese and mmm mmm mmm, I really enjoyed it. Our waitress wasn’t the best but so what. Not exactly cheap eats.

Perfect. If you enjoy Carolina bbq this is the local place. Server was attentive and was able to answer all of our questions regarding this flavor of bbq. Highly recommended.

Food was just mediocre. Brisket sandwich was not hot or even very warm, ribs was not as tender, server wasn’t very attentive. The best thing was the biscuits. I’ve enjoyed other Jim N Nicks locations much better.

We have driven by this place for years and finally decided to stop in for a late lunch while we were in town. (I’m not a really big bbq fan and in Destin we usually go for fish.)
They give you a basket of some super delicious cheese muffins to start out with while waiting for your meal. I got the pulled pork plate and my boyfriend got the brisket plate. Both meats were excellent. I think the brisket may have been the best I’ve had in a long time. The mac n’ cheese was also awesome.
I had to take half of my meal to go as it was a lot to eat. We also got a slice of the peanut butter pie to go. It was delicious.
I would definitely go back here again!

Ordered brisket and it was just ok, not the best. Coming from Kansas City mecca of BBQ, I have different standards about BBQ. Mac and cheese sides were good. I wasnt a fan of the semi-​sweet cheese muffins. I assume they were trying to make something similar to corn bread but I think it would have been better if they removed the sweet ingredients and kept it as cheese muffin. Price for BBQ is pretty pricey but its Destin so expect it to be a little pricey. The waiter I had was pretty good. He was good following up with water or whatever we needed.

After a long day walking and boating we needed BBQ and honestly this place was the only BBQ place still open, so let’s give it a try!
The cheese biscuits are sinfully delicious! OMG I could eat those things for the meal. Don’t worry if you run out, they’re free and they will bring more!
Like I said we got there kinda late and the girl
takes our order and then tells us she thinks they may have run out of brisket and she would be back to let us know… And you guessed it, they had run out of brisket!!! (Echoing sounds) nooooooooooo!!! We had come specifically for the brisket! My folks got pulled pork sandwiches instead and I got a chicken baked potato. The sandwiches looked average size, folks said they tasted pretty average. My potato was HUGE and pretty tasty. The BBQ sauce that says hot on it, it’s hot lol
No big complaints, price was decent as well! We would come back!
ALSO they have Sonic Ice… I love Sonic Ice :*

Wasn’t the worst but definitely not the best! Then I’m from TEXAS and we know bbq. The «Double Decker» seemed like they skimped on the brisket but paired with the pork and once you remove the excess middle toast it’s quite meaty.
The biscuits fell short. They were good enough to have a second but it stopped there.
Service was less than average. They claimed to have to seat us separately because all the big tables had just been occupied yet there were plenty of tables that became available before we even ordered our food. Way to spend our last night in Florida.

After numerous references to here, there has to be something special about it — and there is. Mind you, this is coming from a Texan!
Staff– ⁵⁄₅: No complaints here.
Location — ⁴⁄₅: Can’t miss it off the 98, but coming from FWB was kind of a trick to get to. This is especially during the Fri-​Sun timeframe when traffic is backed up practically to Sandestin and everyone is driving like a nutcase. I didn’t see why some folks were calling this place «dirty» here — seemed fine to me. However it was kind of odd that above our seats was a spot where they hold silverware/​to-​go boxes.
Food: ⁵⁄₅: First off, I have to say the cheese biscuits are to die for. They say never to fill up on bread, but that’s hard to avoid in this scenario. I love that they sell the mix for it, so you can have even more later at home! Now the BBQ itself — phenomenal. I could not put the ribs down, and they have choice of sauces to try at your table. The normal BBQ was great, and the habanero BBQ sauce had noticeable heat but not enough to make you bolting for ice cream to kill the heat.
Pricing– ³⁄₅: Not TOO bad… but could also be better. I was originally thinking about getting the «full baby» rack until I saw the price tag. Not just on this particular item, but but some other stuff too seemed to be a punch in the wallet.
Overall ⁴⁄₅: I’ve had good BBQ. I’ve had great BBQ. I’ve even had BBQ that is an insult to BBQ before. I’d say its a good spot though and a great effort, maybe a notch above Sonny’s. But keep in mind that where I’m from, we hold our BBQ pretty high.

Absolutely fucking terrible, definitely not what it used to be. Server was awkward and strange, and a series of cockroaches on the floor forced me on top of my chair up on my departure. Fuck this place I will never return.

Food may be great… but we don’t know.
We got there at 6:30pm, normal, prime dinner time, with a half-​empty parking lot and half-​empty restaurant. 2 groups ahead of us. I knew something was wrong when one of the groups was upset because they were going to be split up (4 at a table and 2 at a booth). The next group ahead of us left because they were told the wait would be 20 minutes… there were empty tables all over.
Hostess asked us, «how many». I said 6 and a half. We need a high chair.
2 more groups came in behind us. 5 and 7.
The hostess took their names then ours. We had to specify to her that we were there first even though she should have clearly known that as I was inside before any of them and in line.
We waited while the 3^rd group got seated first. And then our name was finally called… and they attempted to seat is at counter-​height bar top tables… which obviously doesn’t work with a high chair.
Also, the 2^nd group that came in behind us went ahead and left because of the issues and they heard the restaurant was out of fries.
Needless to say… we left.
Again, the food might be great, but this was 6:30pm on a Monday night.
I hope to have a chance to eat here this week… but not sure that I am willing to give it a chance or not.

Great cheese biscuits with sweetened butter fresh and hot! The waitress recommended the turkey and it was great. Smoky throughout and juicy. Cut it with a fork. I recommend the white sauce (mustard base). Fast, friendly service.

Greatest food I’ve had on my vacation! We made the mistake of ordering an appetizer. bad idea! They bring out these HEAVENLY cheese rolls, and before you are done with them, they bring out even more rolls! The service was so fast, and by the time we had a couple of rolls, our food came out. The Brisket sandwich was great! The Pig on a Bun is also very good! The Mac n Cheese was very very tasty too. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good meal!

Get the pulled pork sandwhich on a bun and the Mac and cheese. Their bbq chicken is delicious and moist too. But my fav of their pork. Homemade bbq sauces are spicy and smokey and they serve you free cheese biscuits.
The last time I came, we had a very nice waitress but she was kinda pushy and made me try something new on menu which wasn’t what I wanted but nonetheless still good. Wasn’t a fan of the sourdough bread for my sandwich. Definitely get it on a bun.

Stopped for lunch. Two of us had the brisket sandwich, one the prime rib sandwich and one the pulled pork sandwich. All were tasty and meaty. Extra bbq sauce on the table if needed. Had peach tea that had actual peach chunks in it and had a natural peach flavor.

Eh… My expectations for this place were set pretty high, because they had signs saying they had won the Southern Living award for best pork sandwich. And I love pulled pork sandwiches.
I asked the waitress which sandwich on the menu was the award winning one, and she didn’t really know! She said probably this one and pointed. I was like it’s award winning! You don’t know which one it is? Anywho…
I had the pulled pork sandwich, which was hopefully the award-​winning one. I was disappointed in the sandwich. It tasted like a pretty average pulled pork sandwich. The extra BBQ sauces you could add to it were also disappointing. The mild sauce was way too thin. I did like the chips that came with the sandwich though.
