Had to stop as I had been driving by several times and the name stuck out so I had to try this place. Excellent all around. Love the small vintage decor and old style look especially with the brick wall. It may be small but the food is worth a stop in. I had the Cuban Swiss and Mac n cheese. Both were absolutely delicious and would highly recommend. Met the owner and 2 of the workers who provided amazing customer service. There are other menu items I would love to try so I am looking forward to coming back. If you’re in the area and need a bite to eat, you must try Jim’s Smokin Cafe. Proud supporter of local small businesses.

Brisket and ribs were amazing. Will definitely be back to try the pastrami.

Everything here was amazing. Both sandwiches we got were flavorful and cooked to perfection.
My husband got the New York Pastrami sandwich and he couldn’t stop talk about how good it was. The mac and cheese was wonderful, cheesy goodness.
The service and atmosphere was welcoming.
Highly recommended.

Great experience! Excellent barbecue. Had the Smoked Pastrami Reuben sandwich with baked beans. Had side of slaw and mac and cheese which were top notch as well! Great service and play list for background music. Came from Grand Rapids. This was worth the two hour drive. Will be back!

UPDATE:
I nearly moved to this town because I got such a good vibe! But, although I never moved to Niles, I’ve worked nearby and live in Buchanan have discovered the Main Street shopping district. I did a little holiday shopping with a must stop at Jim’s for lunch.
I just love this BBQ and had the Brisket salad again. I would have opted for the Wednesday lunch buffet which is a really good deal, but needed to stick with protein and veg. My husband loved this buffet and it’s obviously popular in town because there were a bunch of folks participating. I picked up Brisket and a couple of sides to go for my hubs and he was thrilled to have it for dinner. Wish I went out to eat more often because I would go to Jim’s over and over! Still great!
My review from last year….
Love this place! We stumbled on this place while in the area and thought the BBQ was great, I love that there’s a nice meat salad option and we had such fun talking to the owner (the chef also came by our table to check on our food) that we’ve decided to consider moving to Niles full time! If the food is this good and the peeps this friendly, it’s pretty attractive. We were back on a Wednesday recently and my big-eating hubby LOVED the lunch buffet. What a great idea. The first time we went though I was craving a wine or beer which they don’t serve, but they did say we could order wine elsewhere and bring it back.

Only one waitress there when we first got there at noon on a Saturday she did a great job of trying to keep up with everything until her help arrived. Now on to the important part. The food was delicious. Ended up having the brisket platter with two sides. Their house made barbecue sauce is delicious. Definitely would call ahead if you’re in a lunch rush they do take out orders. The manager or the owner not quite sure who came out greet us to make sure everything was all right which was a nice touch. Definitely be back. Thanks

I have a biased view after living in Texas and just getting back from visiting. For the price and quality in the midwest- it is well worth the visit. The people are very friendly and helpful as well. Pasta salad really just was pasta noodles and one tomato, so that was a little disappointing. Baked beans were amazing, and i enjoyed the coleslaw well enough. The brisket was my favorite. The pulled pork was better than most, but I would probably skip the rib tips next time.

Just had this gem in Niles!
The turkey chili was great. It had big chunks of turkey and a flavorful broth.
But the star of the show was the sandwich I ordered! The smoked pastrami rueben! One of the best sandwiches I have ever had hands down. Thick cut pastrami and a pile of sauerkraut topped with Swiss cheese and a chipotle aioli (choice between this or thousand island) on rye bread. Lord was it juicy!
Needless to say I highly recommend this joint!
You got a repeat customer in me right away.

First off, I love smoked meats so it’s hard to disappoint me in this category haha.
I have went to this location 2 times, the first visit I had the buffet (to have a larger sampling of different items) and this last time had the Cast Iron Burger.
In my opinion, if you visit a BBQ or smoke house always go for the smoked meat. And that is the case here as well.
The hamburger was tasty and held it’s own as a burger but… the smoked meats had a more individual smokey personality.
The environment was clean and homey and service both visits were friendly and efficient.
Next visit, will be the brisket which ironically was what I went in for both times b4 hahaha
Worth the visit, locally owned and food is wonderful.
