About Brother Jimmy's BBQ

Brother Jimmy's BBQ is a lively restaurant that offers a taste of authentic barbecue. The meat has good flavor, and the sauce is decent. The cornbread is a highlight, being particularly delicious with honey, and many customers agree that it is the best bite of the night. The BBQ is excellent, and the prices are reasonable compared to nearby places, although some items like an ear of corn can be a bit pricey. The restaurant has a friendly and polite staff, with some reviews praising individual waitstaff for their attentiveness. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a genuine barbecue joint in the South, with dim lighting and lively music on some nights. It is a fun place especially for kids who enjoy games like basketball and ski ball while waiting, and for adults who appreciate the bar. The location is convenient next to the harbor, making it easy to visit.

The meat portions are generous, and many guests find the mac and cheese creamy and comforting, like a home-cooked meal. The catfish is crispy and delicious, though service can be slow during busy times. One employee at the entrance had a less friendly demeanor, which made the visit a bit challenging, but the manager was super welcoming and helpful. The restaurant's outdoor patio was initially unavailable, but staff eventually guided the group outside, where the loud music and football games on big screens were less intrusive. The menu offers a variety of options, and the "Big Rich's Chicken Wings" with BBQ smoked & grilled and Spicy Buffalo flavors are highly recommended. Beverages like the "Raging Bitch" beer are also popular. Overall, the experience can be enjoyable, especially with friendly staff and good food, though some prices, like the $35 Maker's Mark Manhattan, may seem high. Despite occasional mixed reviews on some dishes, Brother Jimmy's BBQ remains a solid choice for a satisfying meal in a lively environment.
