Drove 45 minutes to eat here. No sign on door, nothing on website however walk in and they say they are closed because they have a wedding order. Could have posted that on Facebook or online. However 90 minutes wasted for nothing. Very rude to costumers.

All of the meat is cooked daily. It smells so good! They also have a variety of sauces if you like to add your own flair. If you are lucky, you'll get to hear the chef in the back singing along with the radio. Just be sure to tip extra! He can't afford to quit his day job and rely on singing!! 😂🤣

Dropped off a turkey for thanksgiving and picked up at the appropriate time and it was ready and smoked to perfection. They only thing I would recommend is offering seasoning options because the bird was bland but I also didn't season it myself and wasn't made aware or offered any seasoning options or bbq. And I had to asked for a recipe for proof of what I dropped of bc it wasn't offered for me. Otherwise it would have been a perfect experience.

Me and a girlfriend ordered to go. It wasn't very good. She got a sampler plate. The ribs were tough, the chicken didn't taste good and left a bad taste in your mouth. The beans were in such a tiny bowl I wouldn't say it was a full serving spoon. I got a cheeseburger. It wasn't anything to write home about. It was literally just cheese on it bun was stuck to it. And it cost $20 because it cost more then we read on the menu online. The burger was supposed to be just under $3. We will not be going back for sure.

Go support. It's the only place you will get the entire bone & honesty Also, If you're type2, the bbq sauce wont spike your sugar if u slightly smear and not baptize it. 95 degrees outside & the restaurant was freezing. Loved it. Go early because he runs out of food because the local order slabs at . Also he lets you know if a customer reports back if a something wasnt good.

We had a very large take out order for a company event. The food was good but they gave us like 10 plates for enough food to feed 20 people. We asked for buns and were brought 12 buns. Again, this was a $250 order to feed more than 12 people. We didn't get any onions, pickles, etc. Maybe I'm just spoiled because of places like Moonlight and Old Hickory being right here in my hometown. I'd give J & B another try but my first impression wasn't great.

Best BBQ in the Tri-state area!! Ribs are warm, tender and juicy. Great BBQ sauce, baked beans with bits of pulled pork in them. Great tasting German potato salad with whole red-skinned potatoes in it( normally I dislike German potato salad, but liked it so much that I brought 2lbs. Of it, so I guess that says a lot!)

I have reviewed J&B before, so I'm not sure why it came up in my suggested places to review. But that should speak volumes about how good their BBQ is. J&B has the best BBQ I've ever had from a restaurant. I love BBQ and have had it in 30+ states and 24 countries! Their ribs and pulled pork are absolutely to die for! Their chicken is pretty good too.

I have been going to J & Bs for about 5 years now. Both dine in (pre-covid) and take out. Consistently great food at a reasonable price. Staff is ALWAYS courteous and friendly. Not too many places can do that day in and day out. We have had a two or three catered events (picnics at Audobon Park) and J & B's always does it right. More food than we can eat and just really good stuff.

First, they open earlier than most lunch locations (1030) which is extremely convenient when i have a post call day off and my dad id passing through Henderson for work. The service is always attentive and the decor is charmingly rural. Most importantly however, the smoked turkey is positively delicious--we never order any other meat. The portion on the lunch platter is very generous, and with 2 sides and bread for around 8 dollars, you will always leave satisfied.
