‘ N Nick’ s Community Bar-B-Q
“ Our other key pillar is that we offer real, genuine Southern hospitality,” he continues.“ We connect well with our guests because we believe in old-school Southern manners and the quality of our food is genuine and sincere. We always try to hire friendly people whose personal values model ours, which is something that we really hold dear. Too often, a business’ mission and core values are emblazoned on a plaque in the restaurant and not truly lived, but we really use ours as a North Star to remind us of who we are and what we believe in every day. A huge part of our culture is that we all believe that we’ re part of something different and that resonates throughout the organization. We all want to make people’ s lives a little better through the food and the service that we offer.”
Timeless taste
Honoring these traditions, Jim‘ N Nick’ s menu is bursting with slow-cooked
Southern goodness. The company’ s sizzling selection features everything from classic pulled pork, beef brisket, and BBQ chicken through to loaded mac and cheese, ribs, and fried catfish – all smothered in its iconic homemade BBQ sauce.
“ Our menu is traditional, high-quality BBQ. We never freeze anything – even our proteins are all smoked in-house. Personally, I’ m a huge fan of our brisket; I just love the bark, the Kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper seasoning on it, and I respect how hard it is to do well. I also love our ribs. We have two different kinds: baby back and spareribs,” Larry enthuses.“ We also serve turkey breast, pulled pork, whole and half chickens, and we have this delicious jalapeno cheddar sausage. Then we have the sides, which we call‘ trimmings’, all scratch-made the way your grandmother would – potato salad, mac and cheese, collard greens. All our recipes greatly stand the test of time, and we’ re focused on executing them perfectly.”
