What People Are Saying About Brother Jimmy's BBQ
The Owner
Brother Jimmy's BBQ
Owner
Brother Jimmy's brings good times and North Carolina style 'cue to the Upper East Side. All the Barbecue is slow smoked in-house over hickory wood. The ribs come in three varieties: Northern (sweet), Southern (spicy) and dry rub. Pulled Pork, Smoked Brisket, BBQ Chicken, hush puppies and frickles are a few of the signature items they serve. A fun line of specialty cocktails and a very active bar scene make Brother Jimmy's more then just another BBQ restaurant.

In Short – Opened by Duke and UNC alumni, this barbecue joint and sports bar gives nostalgic college grads a little Southern comfort, especially on game days. Diners seeking ribs, sliced-beef sandwiches, and popcorn shrimp sit at red-and-white-checked tables in the small front area, while drinkers congregate further back amid university paraphernalia and 17 TVs. Loud rock and country make conversation a challenge, but guests stuffing themselves with brisket, burgers, fried pickles and baked beans hardly seem concerned.

its just FUN
by TimtotheO
I have been going here for years...this is a straightforward place. Cold beers, great music, and outstanding food. Oh - and it is THE place to watch the Yanks and Gmen.
- Pros: Best BBQ and Cold Beers
- Cons: This isn't take your girl on a romantic date place

poor excuse for BBQ and food in general
by Jeddy
sliders were hockey pucks, mac and cheeese was dry,and curdled, pulled pork tasted days old, ribs, not sure how they are cooked, but tasted like they were steamed, brisket was a poor excuse for BBQ. overall food was terrible, none in the party was happy.. as we are staying in NY for the next week, we'll deifnately look elsewhere to eat BBQ
- Pros: decent service
- Cons: it's not barbecue

Terrible
by lizzyred8
This place is terrible. I've eaten in numerous times, as well as ordered take-out. The food has no taste, and for bbq thats just ridiculous. Luckily, they provide marinades on the table for you to apply at your leisure. I have been consistently disappointed here, and have gotten to the point where I will eat nearly anywhere else. O, and the free fishbowl, despite being free, is not worth it - its pretty gross.
- Pros: Cheap Drinks
- Cons: Food, Drink Quality
