All In The Family

Jim 'N Nick's is a family. We enjoy working together and we enjoy getting to know each other's families as well. Dave, one of the gentlemen on our team that helps keep our company running has a daughter, Madison who we recently found out is a wonderful artist. She loves making drawings of many things but especially pigs and how the pigs in the Jim 'N Nicks world live.

There is a long tradition of images of pigs personified in the BBQ world and Madison has certainly tapped into that creative tradition. Thank you for sharing these with us Madison! Looks like the Jim 'N Nick's marketing team may have a bright new star among their ranks.

Remembering 2011 and Cheers to 2012!

Jim 'n Nick's Bar-B-Q had a great time serving all of you in our restaurants this past year! Thank you so much for visiting us and we hope to be a regular part of your lives in 2012.
