Jim's Smokehouse & BBQ

Had Jim’s for the first time and I would definitely come back. The owner and manager were fantastic and answered so many questions and gave suggestions. Very nice people. The waitress wasn’t so great and didn’t listen very well but the others made up for her mistakes. The food was pretty good. The bbq sandwich was good but the bun was kind of just there, not really heated or anything. The prime rib sandwich was flavorful but again the bread was unimpressive and almost too much. The chicken was juicy but lacked flavor. The beans were amazing and so was the cobbler. I will definitely be back and I cant wait for the breakfast to begin but I just hope the little things are worked out as they get the hang of things.

We decided to give Jim’s BBQ a try since several other places were still closed for the holidays. I will say that Jim’s has just opened and they are still trying to figure everything out. We placed our order and the food was delivered in a short amount of time. I had the sliced beef dinner with Mac and cheese and corn. Both the sides tasted great and the meat was tender with lots of flavor. The only negative thing I had was the meat was sliced too thick. I had to cut each piece thinner myself. My wife had a loaded baked potato with chopped beef on top. She said it tasted great as well. Others at the table had chopped beef sandwiches and ribs. Everyone seemed to like all of it. Definitely worth giving Jim’s Smokehouse a try.

**Jim’s Smokehouse: A Flavorful Experience** My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at **Jim’s Smokehouse** this past Friday, and I must say, it left quite an impression. Let me walk you through our experience. **Chopped Brisket and Sides: A Match Made in BBQ Heaven** – My wife opted for the **chopped brisket**, and from the first bite, it was a revelation. The tenderness was unparalleled—truly “melt in your mouth.” She also enjoyed the **green bean casserole** and **macaroni and cheese** sides. **Prime Rib: A WOW Moment** – As for me, I couldn’t resist the allure of the **Friday special: prime rib**. And let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. Succulent, perfectly seasoned, and oh-so-satisfying. The only hiccup? It arrived on a plastic plate, causing it to cool off too quickly. A heated plate would have been a game-changer. **Barracho Beans and Coleslaw: Flavor Explosion** – The **barracho (Pinto) beans** were a delightful surprise—loaded with extras and bursting with flavor. And the **coleslaw**, with its coarse cut, hit the spot just right. **Brunch: A Mixed Bag** – The next morning, I returned with a friend for brunch. Adding the **barracho beans** to my meal and swapping toast for corn tortillas was a smart move. However, the **diced potato hash browns** fell short—they were cold and chewy. The breakfast was pricy, akin to what you’d find at IHOP. **Atmosphere and Service** – The restaurant is still finding its footing in terms of ambiance. It’s new and straightforward, lacking that cozy vibe. But cleanliness is a priority here, including spotless restrooms. I found the chairs uncomfortable and will seek out a booth upon my next visit. – The wait staff was friendly, and quick to address a couple of sides they were out of. However, instead of the usual “Can I help you?” or “Are y’all ready to order?”, a warmer welcome would go a long way. Imagine: “Welcome to Jim’s Smokehouse! We’re thrilled to have you. Tonight’s star? The delectable prime rib. I’m Jane, your server—feel free to ask about our menu!” ‍ **The Owner’s Visit** – Kudos to the owner, who made the rounds. A genuinely nice person who cares about the diner experience. **Potato Predicament** – One minor hiccup: They were out of **baked or mashed potatoes**, which I would have preferred over the coleslaw. **Final Verdict** – Despite a few bumps, I’ll be back for dinner. The lure of those ribs beckons, and I want to witness this restaurant’s growth firsthand. Plus, supporting a local gem like Jim’s Smokehouse feels like a privilege. Remember, every restaurant has its quirks, but it’s the overall experience that matters. Cheers to good food and memorable moments! ️
