Great food! The first visit for my wife and I. My better half ordered brisket and I requested the fried catfish. Two sides and corn muffins included. The meala were absolutely delicious and amazing! Our server Heather, our server was attentive and made us feel welcomed as soon as we sat down. Fantastic food, bar drinks and a welcoming atmosphere at a reasonable price! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this establishment. The food was absolutely amazing, my waitress was a pleasure to interact with. I believe her name is Ari. This was my second time coming to this place and it definitely won’t be my last.

While visiting family in the Bluffton area, we decided to try Jim 'N Nick's for the first time — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the experience was top-notch. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, and had our drinks in no time.

Melissa (I believe she’s the manager) stopped by our table to say hello and was incredibly helpful in answering some questions we had. Her friendliness really stood out and made us feel welcome.

And the food? Absolutely delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We’ll definitely be visiting our local Jim 'N Nick's now — and this Bluffton location will be a must-stop whenever we’re in town.

Highly recommend!

I had the cup of brisket chili and cheese corn muffins and it was delicious, not super spicy, so the flavor was good and the spicy was just right. Waitress was great!

Lunch at Jim 'N Nick’s was a toss-up. I love the Peach Tea with chunks of peaches. The cheddar biscuits were deliciously soft and cheesy. The classic pulled pork was seasoned and tender, while the catfish needed a few more minutes in the fryer. The collard greens were heavily salted. Baked beans added a nice taste to the pulled pork.

Summary: Pretty average BBQ place these days. 20 years ago, JNN was awesome. After COVID, JNN cut way back on portion sizes and brand character. Used to have a lot more folksy atmosphere and personalized service. Over last 5 years corporate cost controls have made the JNN experience more generic and sterile. Table service is average. I'm not sure why they have a drive through lane, because it takes forever to get your food in the drive through.

If you want the best BBQ in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area, go to One Hot Mama's.
