Brother Jimmy's BBQ in Mary Brickell Village

We visited Brother Jimmy’s BBQ last week and I must say I was quite impressed.

There were about 11 of us, so we went ahead and started off with a bunch of different appetizers. Let me just say, that my favorite appetizer were the “frickles,” (breaded and fried sliced pickles). The first time I tried frickles, we were living in North Carolina; I was told it was a Southern staple. I was a little skeptical at first but then I tried them. WOW, I loved them the first time in NC and I loved them again here at Brother Jimmy’s and I will have to come back for more!  We also ordered the BBQ wings, which to me have to be by far the best BBQ wings I’ve had here in Miami, Chipolte wings, hushpuppies (moist and delicious), Rib Tips ("WET") style (very flavorful), and chicken fingers.

 

 

After our appetizers, the waitress brought us a Swamp Water with 11 straws to share. The drink is served in a 64 oz fish bowl and an alligator whose mouth is filled with a shot of Grenadine.  It was so good that we were all fighting for the last sip!

 

For dinner, my husband and I split the Jimmy's Pig Pick" platter, which includes your choice of four: Wet Ribs or Southern Ribs, Pulled Pork, Brisket, BBQ Chicken or Pulled Chicken and it's served with Hush Puppies and Cole Slaw.

We got wet ribs, southern ribs, pulled pork and brisket.  In addition, we ordered Mac and cheese, corn on the Cobb, Brussels sprouts, and fries. Everything was delicious, but my favorite in our platter were the wet ribs. The Brussels sprouts tasted like popcorn and our favorite side. We just couldn't get enough of them.

 

They have three kinds of BBQ sauces: Original, Chipolte and Blazin'. They were are all very good, but it seems that the favorite on the table was the original.
If you are in the mood for some good southern style BBQ comfort food, I would definitely take a trip to Brother Jimmy's BBQ in Mary Brickell village. Don't leave without trying their BBQ wings, frickles, Brussels sprouts and Wet Ones!!
