"Totally fratty" throngs pile into this "trashy" BBQ chainlet for "filling" snoutfuls of "edible" grub served in "redneck Riviera" settings; the "weak service", "franchise feel" and "stale beer smell" can detract, but at least the pricing's "decent" for a hoot and a howl; P.S. the West Village satellite is for takeout or delivery only.

Brother Jimmy's grew from a sort of Southern expatriate community, hungry for homestyle, regional cuisine and a place to watch local college teams like Duke and the UM Terps fight it out. By 1996, the idea had become so popular that the restaurant became a chain, first with an Upper East Side location, then across the park, and finally into Spanish Harlem, Midtown, and even Grand Central...

Brother Jimmy's is the place if you feel like mingling with hungry and gregarious young people while digging into respectable spare ribs. You're in for robust portions of belt-bending Southern food, and the ribs are served either wet or dry. The menu is packed with the usual barbecue treats, as well as a nice selection of salads. But the lively party atmosphere is what keeps the patrons coming...

TGIJimmy's! Fratastic BBQ joint with as many locations as Duane Reade. Cluttered interiors rock ersatz-roadhouse effects: neon beer signs, college pennants, wood paneling, old license plates. Kind of like if Old Navy was a bar. Red-checked tablecloths get that Pavlovian bell ringing for the tastes of the dirrty south. BBQ smoked for hours over hickory wood. Carolina pulled pork, Memphis-style...

A sincere barbecue joint with something for everyone.
