Brother Jimmy's BBQ (2nd Ave)

Strong BBQ joint. I only wish they served Southern-style portions.

They should remove Brother Jimmys. It's just nothing but inept.

very mixed review but unfortunately mostly negative: the bbq dishes are the worst things on the menu, arriving cold and without much flavor after a few tries. stunning really - a BBQ play , expensive and they deliver bland bbq . . . the red velvet cake is prettyy amazing and some the sides tasty. i really want this place to upgrade the food quality . . .

Had the pulled chicken with sides of string beans and sweet potato fries. The chicken was not spiced (i.e. just a side of BBQ sauce). String beans and sweet potato fries were undercooked.

This meal was ridiculously overpriced. Figured for almost $80 bucks worth of BBQ we would be getting enough food for a few nights. WRONG. We ordered the nachos (which were skimpy and soggy)' the brisket which was dry, the fried chicken which was decent. The order came with burnt corn bread. The sides were alright ( Mac n cheese, potatoe salad, mashed potatoes and corn) but small. The corn on the cob was fine, but it's hard to mess up corn. The meal didn't include and salt and pepper packets or napkins or utensils. We ordered a side of blue cheese dressing with our buffalo chicken cob salad and were given vine gregge. I'm giving 1 star because the delivery guy was very nice.

I've been waiting for 2 hours and still haven't received my order. I've called twice to check on it and the phone was picked up by 4 different people with 20 minutes passing before someone finally told me (unconvincingly) that my order had just left. I placed that call 50 minutes ago. Good luck getting your food if you decide to order from Brother Jimmy's.

Their food is great but the price... not so much. Just to put things into perspective, they charge 3.50 for a coke. Their apps are delicious but on the smaller side and $10 each. Unless you're ordering for a large group, I can't bring myself to spending that much when I can order a feast from a chinese restaurant for half the price.

I ordered the ribs. I couldn't eat them they were so bad. I won't be ordering from here again. It was a total waste of $35. I had to throw it all away.

BJ continues to reduce portion size of their sides, throw the ribs, pickles and cornbread sloppily into one box and not include any sauce with their rib dinners. I won't be ordering again. Very disappointing.

Took 2 hours for delivery! Estimated time was an hour. The food was just OK, not worth the wait at all. Look elsewhere...

While the food came in roughly 40 minutes (earlier than estimates), they failed to read the "special instructions" asking for lean brisket and instead I received the fattiest meat I have ever had and it was inedible! They may be new to 'seamless' but you have to be able to read the order!

I waited two hours for my order. Enough said. Will NOT be ordering from HERE again.

I have ordered from them multiple times over the past few months. Delivery is always fast (usually faster than the confirmation email stated) and the food arrives piping hot. Their country fried steak is better than my ex-mother-in-law's, the mashed potatoes and gravy yummy, and they have the best pecan pie I've had since I've been in New York.

So-so. The for is not worth the price. I'm not going to order from there anymore.
