Jim's Smokin' Cafe

"Where to start...Absolutely Fantastic everything!! Small is mighty. About 12 choices on the buffet, however they go fast and are replaced with different items. Kust to name a few, they had scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, 2 differently sauced ribs, scalloped potatoes, beef brisket, pulled pork, 2 types of sausage, all meals smoked on premises. And to top it all off, the server asked if I wanted anything from the kitchen like waffles or eggs prepared a special way. What??? Yes, thank you. Worth the drive and I can't say enough great things about this place. Please patronize this great place."

"I had the New York Pastrami Sandwich. Every ounce of that half pound of meat was present and accounted for. Hot and warm, not too fatty but just the right amount. Service was terrific by a gentleman with a heavy French accent, reminds me of my trips to Montreal. Atmosphere was relaxed with solid blues music. If anything I could mention that I would like just a little different, and I’m reaching for this, the coleslaw had a great base to it, a nice foundation I’d say, but lacked a bite or a standout personality. I’d eat here again any day, maybe multiple times a week if I lived anywhere close to the area. But the next time I’m in Niles during lunch I will be here."

"Oh. My. Word! This is it! This is the place to go for absolutely top notch BBQ! Do not miss the place! I don't know where to even start so I'll just say I go to a lot of different little BBQ places and this one checks all the right boxes! They know what they're doing! Maybe the best brisket I've ever had. Honestly. Priced right also."

"I’m really big on customer service and this place is top tier. My family I came in on a Sunday and they were super friendly, helpful and pleasant towards us. My daughter dropped her knife and the staff was right there with a clean new one in seconds. They were informative letting us know their specials and asking if we needed anything. Very accommodating with food orders. They have a buffet style (including breakfast and lunch) but you can also order food off of their menu. They have a bar area and a small seating area. When we came, we didn’t have to wait. Would recommend everyone to check them out and try their biscuits and gravy. The gravy is made in house!"

"Really loved walking in, getting seated right away. The food was quick and absolutely delicious! We truly appreciated our all-in-one server. Unfortunately cannot recall his name but can not forget the impact his French culture offered 8f. Genuinely made the experience far better."
