What People Are Saying About Brother Jimmy's BBQ

The Owner

Brother Jimmy's BBQ

Owner

Although at Brother Jimmy's BBQ, we have diverse menu of many Southern favorites we are most famous for our traditional Southern BBQ. All our BBQ is smoked in-house, using COOKSHACK brand Smokers. Even the hickory wood we use to smoke is shipped up straight from the South. Everything is smoked slowly and carefully--up to 10 hours--in order to get the best tasting, juiciest BBQ in town.

Back when Brother jimmy?s first opened, we didn't even have a bar! Nowadays, it's hard to imagine a Brother Jimmy's without a happy crowd hanging out, watching sports and sipping on one of our thematically inspired drinks such as Plantation Punch, Carolina Cooler, Southern Belle or the infamous ?Swamp Water?.

In Short
Early on, this local mini-chain earned a reputation for its loud bar scene. There's still an active social life centered around the bar, but the restaurant has mellowed out, and in the early evening, you'll find families and less youthful folks who have come for the food. All the barbecue is smoked in-house over hickory, and the ribs come in three varieties: Northern (sweet), Southern (spicy) and dry rub.

Nice college crowd and bbq. The ribs are very tasty and so is the pulled pork sandwich. However, I would probably pass on the shrimp po boy. Just a no-nonsense restaurant where you can relax and have some good eats and drink.

I went here for my birthday that happened to be on a tuesday night and it was awesome!! They had karaoke so right away I was hooked. The waitress was so nice she gave me a complimentary fish bowl drink for my bday complete with an alligator in it! Everyone was totally chill and you can act and do pretty much whatever and you wont feel out of place or that your being too loud. I would highly recomend this for an awesome place to go with a group or to mingle with the locals of the upper west side.
