Horrible experience. Placed an online order, specifically asked for no bread. Called the restaurant and spoke with the take out boy.. I brought to his attention that I placed an order and wanted to alert the kitchen that the plate had an allergy, he responded “we don’t make anything gluten free”… I said… well your menu clearly states GF next to options , so You do…. He said well.. what then. I said , I would like your kitchen to know about the allergy so they can treat it as such .. he said , “ OK FINE!” …. Fast forward I pick up the food, and cheese biscuits were sitting in my food 🤯😤?! I call and speak with the manager … of course I am irritated, I specifically asked for NO BREAD and call to make them aware… she was totally annoyed with me. Never again.

We had such a great lunch at Jim N Nicks. Lots of GF options to choose from, outstanding BBQ (we tried the brisket, smoked Turkey and smoked chicken) and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!

I have eaten at other locations before and they were great. This one was also a great experience. It looked like about half the menu is gluten free. I told the server that I have gluten allergy (celiac) and asked how they handle cross contamination. She said she would let them know and they would change gloves and take precautions to keep it safe. She also told me she double checked that the sauces were gluten free and said they both were. Gluten free items are clearly marked on the menu. The food is always good and I felt safe.

(Update: this is no longer a safe place for people with celiac. We expected the same great service we had for years but during COVID they’ve changed management and no longer adhere to any type of cross contamination rules.)Had a lovely dinner with my boyfriend at this location. I simply told the hostess that I have food allergies and she sent the Kitchen Manager right to our table. He suggested the Smoked Turkey ( with NO WHITE SAUCE!), I got that with a Baked Potato and Fresh Fruit (which was watermelon). It was all delicious, and the portion sizes were great. *Caution on the Turkey* They do use a rub on the Turkey Breast and I noticed a while later I did get the normal itchy "Celiac Rash" that occurs sometimes on my arms. Visited the location again and got the Smoked Ham with no problems at all 😊

We ended up eating dinner twice there as it was so good the first night and I had no reaction. Our hotel was nearby. I had pulled pork, coleslaw and potato salad. I was told the bbq sauce was gf. First night ate outside. Second night did takeout. Server marked order as celiac and they took precautions. Great experience while traveling.

Always check the box that your GF meal is in. Sometimes they forget about the GF thing and throw them on top. Otherwise they are great (they are really good about remaking the order if they do accidentally put the biscuits on top)

When I double-checked the barbecue sauce the server went to the back to look at the “allergy list” and returned saying sauce contained gluten. This varied from other reviews here. I did enjoy the GF brisket, beans and Cole slaw… not sure about sauce. My server was not knowledgeable but not her fault.

My wife has a gluten sensitivities. While they knew what gluten was and even remind you when you are ordering online to skip the biscuits food was Mediocre. We had the ribs, pulled pork, baked beans and slaw. She didn’t have a reaction but from the quality of the food we would look for other options.

Menu has all gluten free items marked, including sauces/dressing. Has a warning about cross contamination and possibility! Informed server and asked for precautions and glove changes and she was nice about it. She did not know anything about the gluten free items or even it being a thing and did not seem knowledgeable. So far so good with no reaction.

I have been to the Jim N Nicks in Tuscaloosa and they are inconsistent. I have had excellent servers very knowledgeable about celiac and some not so great. I would avoid this Jim N Nicks at all cost. Neither the server nor the manager knew what gluten free meant and looked at me like I was crazy. They said the cooks “may” know what it is but it’s not likely. So I stuck with plain chicken which was just okay. And forget southern hospitality. It’s lacking more than their knowledge of the food they serve. It’s unfortunate as this establishment used to be excellent and we were dedicated customers. Unfortunately not so much now...

I have been a customer of Jim and Nicks for years. I like that the food is of good quality, consistent, and simple. I stick with the smoked chicken or turkey and a side salad. Always good, I leave full with some to take home and I have never gotten sick. Servers are friendly and knowledgeable about GF. They always double check with the kitchen to make sure “nothing has changed” since my last visit. My husband is a fan of the smoked wings and the kids love the pulled pork with plenty of “sides.” I recommend Jim and Nicks if you are or aren’t GF!

Delicious pulled pork, lots of gluten free sauce choices, their allergy menu is so helpful. Their mashed potatoes were yummy but I made my own gravy at home. (Got the order to go). The beans were good texture...just not a fan of the flavor. I had so many leftovers and never got sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good food! All the meats are gluten free, several GF side options with dedicated fryer for fresh cut french fries. They do not have separate menu nor are the items marked on the regular menu, but they have a great separate Food Allergens List that’s clearly marked. Did not get sick, but I won’t be certain until tomorrow or day after and will update this post if I experienced CC.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

French fries, tortilla chips and homemade potato chips have a dedicated fryer. Spoke with the manager to verify. He said they take Celiac & any allergy issues very seriously. I did not get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff is so knowledgeable about what is safe to eat. I had no cross-contamination issues. They are awesome!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac safe. Server knew about and made sure cook changed gloves. Got a steak and a baked potato and had no issues.

When I went to place my order I stated this is an allergy order for gluten (easier than explaining celiac) and the very rude lady cut me off and said, we can’t guarantee anything is gluten free. I said I referred to your allergy menu before ordering and she said, nothing is safe anything could be cross contaminated. She was so rude and unhelpful and my son felt embarrassed because he hates to feel like he is the reason people with him can’t eat. I asked her why they even have an allergy menu but she didn’t seem to understand the question.

Celiac friendly?

No

Went here for dinner the other night and had the BBQ Nachos. (see photos) Waitress provided allergen menu and took my concerns seriously. I had no issues with gluten and everything was great. Adding this place to my personal list if celiac safe places in this area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waiter was not knowledgeable about GF options and had to keep going back and forth to get questions answered. Fryer is not dedicated. GF options not indicated on menu. We were given an extensive spreadsheet listing all the food allergens in each menu item so a lot of back and forth research. Followed by being told fryer wasn’t dedicated so GF fried items weren’t GF after all. We managed a meal and hope it was safe but we will not bother coming back.

All staff are very knowledgeable. I have only had reactions when I use the sauce on the table (I like sauce so I ask for extra in a bowl). I only ever have the nachos or potato, my sister has the chicken.

Get sick when I eat here :( the smoked chicken was the last offender.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have had Jim & Nicks a couple of times in the last 11 months, when it left me not feeling so great. Food has been fabulous, menu is marked for gf. I have stayed away from the bbq sauce, just in case. 6/19 - came away feeling sick again - bbq sauce????
