For some reason I’ve never eaten at Jim ‘N Nick’s until this past weekend, and glad I finally did.
The good:
1. they serve cheese biscuits with honey butter
2. they have regular and spicy sauce on the table
3. they have homemade lemonade and onion rings
I got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and Rozlynn got the ribs and onion rings. Both meats were very tender and good. The regular sauce has a kick to it.
Their ribs aren’t as good as Dreamland’s, but still very good. This is another restaurant I recommend anytime. And even if you don’t like the bbq, the lemonade and biscuits are great. If you live in the southeast or Colorado, go find Jim ‘N Nick’s.
Ricatoni’s Italian Grill – Florence
My wife and I have a favorite place to eat in Florence, AL called Ricatoni’s. We love the location in downtown and the service is always good.
There are only a few items I’ve had off the menu, but here are the pros:
-fresh bread with herbs and olive oil
-pizzas cooked in wood-burning oven
-chicken fingers (tenders) with fries and honey mustard sauce
I know it’s crazy, but my favorite item on the menu is the chicken tenders. I think they are the old Court Street recipe. Rozlynn thinks I’m crazy for ordering these at an Italian restaurant, but they are worth it. She usually gets a pizza.
She once ordered the shrimp pizza and was not impressed. The shrimp did not taste good and they were extremely small–like from a can. No worries, they didn’t charge us for it.
Ricatoni’s is where we eat most every time we are in Florence. Thanks to Derek for introducing us to it several years ago. We were once caught on the news eating there and I had a huge mouth full of food–it was on the air that night.
One day I’ll venture out and order something different. Make sure you don’t stuff yourself on the bread first.
