Brother Jimmy's is known for its barbecue, low prices, big portions and slightly rowdy bar scene. The menu includes ribs served three different ways - Southern (smoked and spicy), Northern (sweet and tender) and Dry (hot and spicy). There are also chicken wings, sandwiches, fried chicken, burritos and more. The ambience is very casual, and you will certainly feel comfortable eating with your hands.
