    Local atmosphere.

    A regular stop for us but the quality of the food seems to diminished since our last visit. The fish wasn't good at all. However the BBQ was as good as ever.

    Full rack of ribs, baked potato (I asked for no sour cream), fried corn on the cob Fried fish, coleslaw, fried okra

    My sister and I took a weekend camping trip to Johnson's Shut-Ins and wanted to get something to eat before we headed home on a 3-hour drive and Ironton seemed like the best shot at a good sit-down restaurant. So we took the little drive and ohhh my god was it worth it. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's got the rustic smokehouse vibes inside and you get to seat yourself (always a bonus for me). Our server, Caitlyn, was so nice and got us everything we wanted before we even mentioned it to her. I got a strawberry lemonade and my sister got sweet tea. She likes her sweet tea super sweet, so she added some sugar, but the flavor was good. I ended up buying a half gallon of the strawberry lemonade to take home. We ordered the fried mushrooms and onion petals as appetizers and had enough left over that we got a whole box for them even after we ate half of each. I got a full rack of ribs and they were amazing. The meat was tender and they didn't over- or under-season. They had 3 kinds of barbecue sauce-- original, cherry, and spicy-- and a cherry glaze, which had a thinner consistency. I was a huge fan of the cherry glaze. For sides, I got the fried corn on the cob and a baked potato. I enjoyed both, and I'd never seen the first before, but it was just well-cooked corn on the cob with a yummy corn-meal breading. My sister got the fried fish and she says it was buttery, flaky, and delicious. She got fried okra and coleslaw for her sides and said they were both perfect! She also wanted me to mention that they do not skimp on the sauces. TLDR: It's a fantastic little restaurant where I'm sure anything you order will be delicious.

    On a vacation with a few friends, we stayed in the area for one night and ate at Baylee Jo's when we first arrived in town. We were all so impressed that we delayed leaving town the following day to eat here again. I had the ribs and brisket, both were very tasty. The true star of the show was the pork steak however. I've eaten a lot of pork steaks in my life, but never before have I had one so juicy and tender. Fried corn on the cob and fried okra delivered as well. Service was better than typical at a quality BBQ joint, with a great waitstaff. Inside was clean, bright and offered plenty of space at lunch time.

    1-16-21: Baylee Jo's is an EXCELLENT BBQ joint. The staff are incredibly friendly and the BBQ is delicious and reasonably priced. We did carry out and were really impressed with the pulled pork sandwiches. Ask for the Texass toast and make sure it's roadster well for an enjoyable pulled pork experience. The Potato Skins are also an excellent choice too. Huge taters cooked perfectly and loaded up. Five Stars! Would like to dine inside next visit to get give five stars for a great beer selection.

    Service was not good. Food was average. Asked another waitress for drink refill and she straight ignored us.

    A 4-hour roundtrip to have lunch with an Army buddy I haven't seen in six years would have been…read moreworth it for Arby's (sorry Arby's just needed a common denominator). When you get in there, order and the food is good- bonus. I suspect that most of the dishes here are good. The place filled up quick and folks kept coming during the 90-minutes or so that we were there. Peter and I both got the Brisket sandwich, I was happy with everything, the brisket was exceptional, they have multiple sauces on the table, tried them all- solid. The fries weren't special but were hot and salty. The coleslaw is pretty basic, but I suspect that is intentional to give you a flavor reset. The service was quick, and effective. Our server came by just enough to make sure we had everything we wanted. She also realized at a certain point that we were going to sit there and catch-up and she left us alone. The one oddity (and maybe she did tell me and I missed it), was that we had to bring the check up ourselves to the register. Bonus: Met 3 guys from Sweden who had flown in to Chicago to follow Route 66 across the country. Somehow beer at 1100 works with a European accent.

    This is a quaint place on Route 66. We arrived around 3:30pm. Very eclectic decor on the inside…read more Plenty of seating. The server we had was nice, friendly, and helpful. We unfortunately were in the pocket that they were out of the things I like to try in a BBQ restaurant I haven't been too. But I got a pulled pork brisket sampler. The meat was dry without the BBQ sauce which was disappointing. It should be juicy. The sausage sampler was great that my BF had. I probably won't be back as it didn't leave me craving for more, unfortunately.
