Brother Jimmy's BBQ

"Very good BBQ, no wait on the weekend and very good customer service."

"Great food, strong flavors, delicious Arnold Palmer. Serve Hannah was amazing. We visited on a work trip (yr 2) and super complicated the 6 person group order, but she handled it amazingly. Only issue was the 6 orders came out at different times (nearly 10 minutes difference from first main plate, to final), and the bread pudding was overdone. Otherwise, great meal yet again."

"TL;DR: Small not good sandwich for 20$. That's about $3.50 per bite for a sandwich that was mid at best. It's rare that I'm actually angry about the food at an establishment but yet, here I am. Stopped in Brother Jimmys after a show at another venue. Decided to eat at the bar because I knew the service would be fast. and it was. The service was probably the soul saving grace for this meal. I had the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese. The portions were a joke. The three pieces of brisket on a bun was gone in 6 bites. I even took smaller bites to try and make it last longer. The texture of the meat reminded me of it being frozen and then microwaved. The sauce was good, but damn it was a small sandwich for 20$. That's almost 3.50 a bite! It was not that good! The mac and cheese. Decent. but that was the accoutrement not the main."

"This was my first time eating at Brother Jimmy's BBQ. The staff were friendly and professional. I ordered carryout from the bar and the service was quick and efficient. I don't agree with charging gratuity for carryout orders, but Jimmy's isn't the first place I've seen the rule. I ordered the catfish bites which were very good and flavorful. The portion was slightly less than I expected. I also ordered the pick two sampler with brisket, pulled pork and greens. The brisket and greens were excellent. The pork had to much vinegar for my liking. I'm not a bread person but the cornbread was also tasty. Overall good experience."

"I was greeted when I walked in. The server was kind for the most part. I didn’t understand why my bill was placed on the empty table behind me or why we had to ask for plates when we got our appetizers. This seemed like a self-serve table at this point. The food was a major disappointment. First, it wasn’t served hot. The Mac and cheese was chalky and bland. The cornbread was DRY. Jiffy would’ve sufficed if the kitchen staff was sleepy. The portion sizes are for toddlers. I got the two meat portion for $24 and I got about half the size of a chicken breast. The brisket was flavorful, but again I like my food served HOT. It didn’t come with any bread and I was charged $1 for a bun. Two people in our party said their sweet tea was watery. How can you mess that up? The catfish bites and old bay wings were very good. You don’t get much at this place and it’s way overpriced for the portions. You likely got half the catfish for $12 about 8 wings for $16.95. Yikes. Two others sent their food back reluctantly and the manager took the feedback well. The A/C was on IGLOO mode and we were right under the vent so no wonder our food didn’t even stay warm long. First time and the last time. I hope they come together to figure out a way to up these star ratings. Not a representation of NC at all."
