“Kudo's to this Full Moon BBQ place in Pelham. To us it is the best of all of them and we have tried a number of them in our area. Generous food portions, delicious BBQ- hot and ready to go for us. This customer experience was very pleasing. I hope they can keep it up!“

“Our server, Jackson, was excellent. When we arrived, my friend had cut his hand and was bleeding. Jackson brought us wet and dry napkins, antiseptic cream, and two Bandaids. He was concerned for my friend and asked how he was doing several times as we ate. He kept my drink glass full and brought us both to-go drinks and a box at the end. We greatly enjoyed our meal and fellowship!“

There flavors we spot on. I strongly recommend the crawfish in your bag they were 5-star worthy. I will definitely order from here again“

“I made a trip of 20 miles just to get family loaded baker potatoes and my lick they were out and wait time was 30 mins. Well I waited and when they were ready a young lady came out and let me know. Can’t complain about service. And Im glad I waited, it was worth it. Even though I forgot my sons corn on cob he forgave me.“

“Thank you so much to the young lady that just made my granddaughters day . Something she will remember for a long time.“

“Gotta say a big thank you to Jim ‘n Nick’s BBQ in Athens, GA. I drove through there, hoping to get the awesome sounding baked potato that is described on their menu. After ordering my kiddo’s chicken fingers, I asked for the potato only to be told they had run out of them for the night. 😞 when I pulled up to pick up our food,  the chef (Matt) had found out that I had really wanted a potato and so he gave me one for free. That makes potato might’ve been part of his employee meal he was taking home. I don’t know but that gentleman made my night.  by the way, the potato is very good, but the service was even better!“

“10/10 recommend. We had the best experience here. The food was all perfect, but the staff made the difference. Particularly FOH member Don and waitress Stephanie. Above and beyond.“
