Jim's Smokin' Cafe - Niles

Always like to Jim's, but this was my first time for breakfast there. Had the hash w/ Pig. Delicious. The side of the candied bacon was so good. Coffee is also top Notch. Definitely back.

Fantastic lunch. The service was wonderful. The waitress made you feel like she knew you for years, so I felt like at home. I ordered the lunch buffet and enjoyed the pulled pork sandwiches and homemade BBQ sauce as well as the chicken. But I don't think you went wrong with anything. A great place to get good food and great hospitality. This is a unique place worth trying in downtown Niles. It was clean. Service was great. The food was fantastic. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Best bride ever! Best Brisket and Mac and Cheese! The whole other food is also delicious. We had a family picnic in South Bend and then went back for more to get back to the MD. Also purchased ribs, bourbon baked ribs and ribbed carriers for a dinner party in MI. Everything was delicious! Very recommended.

My friends heard good things about this place so we decided to meet there for lunch today. The staff greeted us immediately with an enthusiastic hello , and they only got more friendly from there.Good menu selections... Everything made in house except for the chips and bread. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and added tomatoes and candied bacon to it and the staff was very excited to see how I liked it. They said they love when patrons get creative with their orders. My sandwich did NOT disappoint! It was absolutely delicious. My friends all tasted it and loved it as well. The chef came out to see how it was and I teased him that if he puts it on the menu he better name it after me! ?My friends ordered the pastrami sandwich and they said it was delicious as well. The Mac and cheese is homemade and the baked beans are smoked for 4 hours. (I will admit the baked beans needed a little sweetness to them, but they were great too!)We are looking forward to trying the Sunday breakfast buffet! Thanks for this little gem! We 'll be back for sure!

Good food! Vinegary taste to both the BBQ sauces and coleslaw, which is not my favorite, but were are both done well in the style, and the flavor was not overpowering. I tried the pulled pork with both the spicy and regular BBQ sauce. The pulled pork had a great flavor all on its own. The spicy sauce had great heat. At first, I thought the regular BBQ sauce was the spicy, but then I realized this was just the vinegar flavor peeking through. Again, not overpowering, but I prefer a smoky or a sweet sauce over a vinegar flavor, personally. The Bourbon Baked Beans were tasty, but I did not taste any of the bourbon flavor. I'd visit again just to try other items on the menu. I came toward the end of the day (they close at 2 PM) and got my food to-go. It was busy inside, and several items were sold out. Only one server taking care of cleaning tables, taking order, serving food, answering the phone, and ringing up checks. My food didn't take long to be served, but this poor server looked like she was being run ragged. The inside of the restaurant did seem like it would benefit from some brighter lighting.
