Jim'n Nick's Was a Let Down

Tweet

If I hadn't mentioned it before, but I am sure I did, we made a trek to Memphis, Tennessee with my mom, sister, and my aunt to see Graceland. My wife and I have been there before, and so had my sister, but my mom and aunt, who were always big time Elvis fans, had not. They're not getting any younger, and so, checking that box off on their bucket lists was well in good time. On our first night in Memphis on Sunday we tossed around some ideas for places to eat and settled in on a place there called Jim'n Nick's Bar-B-Q, which looked pretty good. But it was a bit of a letdown when we got there as the waitress informed us when we sat down that they were out of a few items on the menu. "A few, she said, which I emphasized because she went on to say they were out of beef, chicken and turkey. I mean, that's almost the entire animal kingdom of animals we eat, you know. So, that meant our choices were limited to fish and pork. We'd have gone somewhere else, but it was late, and we were hungry, and so we just decided what to eat based on the little that was left to choose from. My wife and I had pulled pork dinners, and my sister and aunt had ribs. My mom chose catfish. According to my sister and aunt, the ribs were fatty and chewy and not impressive at all. Our pulled pork was fine, but honestly nothing to write home about, and mom seemed to enjoy her fish. We decided it would probably not be a place to go back to if we are ever in the area again. ***Picture is one we took of the actual facade.
