“Working in Birmingham, AL for an extended period of time and Jim 'N' Nick's was right up the street from both my hotel and my work site so we stopped in for lunch one time. Listen, I enjoyed myself SO MUCH that I returned 2 more times for dinner! Here's why!Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is huge and has a fairly large footprint for being in a downtown setting. No private parking, but there's plenty of street parking. Once inside you're greeted by a wide-open dining room and a big center bar with seating on 3 sides. There are dining booths on both sides and plenty of standard tables. If you walk on the left side of the bar and head toward the back you'll see the to-go section where you can walk right up to the counter and order your food to roll out with.Service: I can't remember the name of our servers, but we sat at the bar each time and everyone was wonderful. As a collective they were funny, sweet, likeable and personable.Food: Like I mentioned, the first time we came, it was for lunch. Then they dropped those complimentary cheesy muffins in front of us, I was befuddled, beside myself and just bewildered. They were AMAZING. I could've eaten JUST THOSE for lunch and been so happy. However, for lunch I wanted something light and went with their Chopped Southern Salad which consists of smoked chicken, smoked onions, sweet corn, cheddar cheese, bacon, cucumber, tomatoes, almonds and homemade croutons then tossed in house-made vinaigrette. It was delightfully fresh, yet filling and savory. I loved it. However, I saw they had smoked wings so on my next visit I came in for those... I was able to try 2 flavors, their Buffalo and Morgan Co. White Sauce (also knows as Alabama BBQ sauce). They were DELIGHTFUL. This may have been the first time I was able to try an Alabama BBQ sauce and I really liked it's savory-ness. It's a mayonnaise-based sauce which gives it its white color and rounded flavor. The Buffalo was thick and hearty, better than a watery traditional Buffalo sauce. On my 3rd visit I tried out their Combo Plate. On it was their smoked turkey, fried catfish and beef brisket. On the side was a salad and a lil' cup of mac & cheese. The food was so delicious it really made me think this place was like a one-off. Much to my surprise there are Jim 'N' Nick's BBQ places ALL OVER THE SOUTH! Nice job guys.Value: It's a BBQ place and usually they aren't cheap. I feel like $30.00 is enough to come here and pig out with!In conclusion, I loved it here... That's why I hit this place up 3 times. Lol. I will certainly pay this place a return visit or check out another one if I'm in the area!“
“Amazing - far exceeded our expectations!!!Our hotel recommended this restaurant and gave details on what they liked about it. It sounded unique, so we gave it a try. OMG! It had a great atmosphere in a little neighborhood shopping center. The service was great, our server was friendly and took great care of us. They have Bushwackers! We also had two of the grits and green dishes - pulled pork and blackened catfish. Both were delicious! And, we had the butterscotch bread pudding. Everything was SO good! What a great experience.“
“Saw this place on the side of the road during a family road trip, decided BBQ would be nice for lunch. The smell was heavenly the moment we stepped out of our vehicle, and the taste was delightful! Smoked wings, BBQ ribs, and pork and coleslaw sandwich, all made to perfection! If you find yourself passing by this place and you're feeling hungry, stop in! You won't regret it! Om nom nom!“

“The manager Michelle made our experience unforgettable! She was super helpful and knowledgeable of the entire city I feel like! We were just passing through but we will stop back by when we are returning home just to see her! Thank you Michelle!“
“I stopped by this hidden treasure on my way out of Birmingham and it was fantastic. Fits the definition of home in the wall restaurant to a T…and those are the best restaurants! Fast service and reasonable prices, but the key to their success is the food! And it’s top notch, even for vegetarians. The side dishes are delicious…the Mac and cheese and fries in particular. I’ll definitely come back if ever in Birmingham again!“
“best BBQ! my father was having surgery at highlands and my daughter and I walked there for the lunch. the staff opened early for us as we were waiting outside in the heat. awesome food. great service. awesome decor. perfect music..played kate bush“
“The food is absolutely amazing. The chicken tacos are phenomenal. I’ve visited the food truck twice and we’ve had them cater for the college championship and the Super Bowl. Everything is fresh and flavorful. 10/10 easily ! Keep up the good work !“
“Great food and a friendly staff. You know a BBQ place will be awesome when you walk into the room and the pit is right there and you can smell the smokiness being cooked right into the meat and you are are surrounded by little piggy decor everywhere you look.“
“Talk about the Best Bar-B-Que in this Solar System...!!! You better Hurry if ya want a seat at the lunchTable.. You can catch up on all the Alabama Sports events too!!

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Receipe is in a guarded local bank valult!! It took me Days to devour them Cookies jus one nibble at a time!!!“
“Catfish wasnt as warm as I wanted but I got this off of DD so that is why I'm sure, but portions were big.good flavors and everything tasted great. I got catfish, Mac n cheese, okra, wings and cheese bacon fries which were huge and had sooooo much bacon. Could've had more cheese sauce but over all great prices for big portions.“
“I hadn't been here in years because of a custimer service issue. We tried it again and the food was great. The ribs were cooked and flavored to perfection, so was the chicken. The sides were tasty as well. There are several big name rib joints here in Birmingham that i find average at best. In My opinion they have the best Barbeque in Town!“
“The baked chicken,potato salad,fried green tomatoes, and banana pudding were all wonderful... Everyone working here were very nice people and were about doing their job. From everything I saw everything was nice and clean! Thanks Dreamland BBQ, y'all are wonderful and I'll be back soon!Parking: Free parking west side of business with 12+ spaces, plus Free street parking except for a large space for pickup orders.Wheelchair accessibility: Very good seating for Wheelchairs, plus there's a ramp inside to get to the large restrooms.“
“Most CRUNCHY and delicious fried sandwich I've ever had and!
