Brother Jimmy’s has celebrated over 30 years of legendary North Carolina, slow-smokin’ barbeque. As suggested by the restaurant’s slogan – “Put Some South in Yo’ Mouth” - Brother Jimmy’s mission was, and still is, to bring “down-home” cooking, hospitality and merriment to the heart of the Central Florida.

Over the years, Brother Jimmy’s established itself as the home away from home for A.C.C. Alumni. Homesick alums from Duke, UNC, N.C. State, Georgia Tech, U.V.A., Clemson, Maryland, and Wake Forest began to flock to Brother Jimmy’s to catch the big Duke/UNC game, or to watch the Demon Deacons take on the Terps. By opening in the popular neighborhoods, Brother Jimmy’s found a home in the hearts of its patrons. It has become the restaurant in that reminded Southerners what good ‘ol Southern hospitality was all about and showed Northerners just what they’d been missing all these years.

The food was unreal! Between us we had bbq wings,marbled brisket, pulled pork & chicken. Big portions cooked to perfection. It was our first time trying corn bread. Reminded us of a suet pudding from back home delicious! The Lockers from Yorkshire, England.

Visited New Year’s Eve. Serves mains during starters. Tables not cleared, waitress harassing for a tip and front of house greeter wasn’t the happiest of cats. Food really good.

The server attitude was terrible. The food was cold and not what I ordered. The server would rather text on her phone and when I got her attention she just ignored us and carried on texting there was only a few customers and not once did she go round to see if they were ok. Even the staff member who bought our food was rude . I asked for a bill and she said it was $88 she wouldn’t let us see a bill. This was and will be our first and last visit. Never again.

Our group of 10 had a great time, but surprised, for a BBQ Joint, that the brisket wasn't better. Hostess, Mgr and wait staff very accommodating with games on TV's, seating etc. Food & beverage delivery spotty.
