Incredibly tender and delicious meat. I am specifically writing this review because the staff were beyond kind and did an incredible job to make sure that we had everything we would need, were comfortable and were taken care of. Definitely will go back. read more

Small place but the food we had was quite good! 6 of us and we all had the fried cat fish. They did a great job and even made it more of a family style meal for us. Great dessert, too. read more

J&M Bar-B-Q - Frito pie with brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

See all

Not good at all. No flavor and the pork and brisket were very tough. Will not recommend or go there again

I like that I can taste the meat and not so much liquid smoke. The meat is tender and the price is reasonable

Not just a take out place. Sit down eat & let Brenda keep your sweet tea full. Good BBQ & fish fry on Friday.

Arrived last night at 7:15. Was told to sit anywhere and they would take our order. Waited 15 min, nothing. Tables were dirty as well. Got up and left at 7:30. They switched the sign to closed after we left. They should be open for another 30 min. Bad service period. read more

This review is for the 82nd street location. It doesn't come up. Small portions of meat for the price. The sausage and brisket were sliced paper thin. I've never seen such thin slices. Not even sure how they sliced brisket that thin. Taste was good just not enough for the money. Sides were good. read more

Great place to enjoy BBQ. The food was awesome and the staff was friendly. Very reasonably priced. Casual dining with delicious food. read more

J&M Bar-B-Q - shows a variety of food items - Barbeque Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

We got a take out party meat platter with additional sides. It was a great way to feed a group and a great way to try their various offerings. The meats were SO good. I especially loved the sausage. The mac and cheese was enjoyed and I loved the cole slaw. Check this place out! read more

Great food, wonderful service. My son had the all-you-can eat catfish. It was absolutely heavenly. I tried a selection of meats, the fried okra and the sweet potato fries. Absolutely delicious. Our waitress Dawn was very friendly and helpful. Her recommendations were right on the spot. The cherry cobbler was out of this world.... read more

Just left there with a small lean brisket sandwich. Nine dollars for three small slices of brisket....really small. So 3.00 per slice. Wont be back. read more

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was very homie. Our waitress was amazing and the food is very affordable. My biggest complaint there is that there bathroom was in horrible condition, the food was amazing though and so was the staff it is definitely worth trying. read more

Placed an order to go German sausage Plate. Sausage was cooked to much could not eat it. Cole slaw was not freshly made. Thew out the dinner. Suggest to anyone ordering this plate to go ask to see the sausage first. It probably be better to dine in that way you can be sure the sausage is freshly Cooked. read more

Who's the grouchy blonde behind the counter? I hope she's not the owner or manager. LOUSY first impression. From my experience here they need to put a MORE visible sign giving instructions on what to do! Dining in: please proceed to the hostess ahead. Take out: please proceed to the end of serving counter to place your order and pay. The sliced beef sandwich was good. Potato salad? Would not order again. The place could use an update and the restroom was dirty. read more

Classic southern barbecue you can tell it when you smell it walking in, the fire is a roaring in the fireplace and the specials are written on a cardboard sign right above on the mantle. read more

1st of all I'd like to say I hardly feel a need to leave reviews unless experience was really great or sub par. Food was just Ok. Chopped brisket was good not great. Turkey breast had good flavor but extremely dry. Order was overpriced $40 for what we got a 2meat combo & loaded baked potato w/brisket & 2 desserts. Requested brisket on side but was shoved in stale baked potato topped with cheese which made it super greasy wife ate less than half. Only received one side item. I asked for 2 spicy & 1 mild sauces. Only received 2 spicy sauces. Cobbler tasted like cheap store bought cobbler, was just OK & this was ordered to go. I know people will say you should've checked order before leaving. Here's what I say about that all reputable restaurants & owners/managers should ensure every employee understands to make sure orders are filled just as customer gives order. Employee did repeat order back to me accurately. Seems like restaurants are falling short on customer service these days, employees just want more money & less work. As I waited on order I overheard one waitress stating she was cleaning an area that hadn't been cleaned In very long time & other employe stated yeah it won't come up & coworker replied she was able to get some of it up now. I used to love their brisket sandwiches but after this experience I will not be a returning customer. Giving 1 1/2 stars. I'll be better off going to Rudy's from now on. At least I know what to expect, & get what is ordered, never been let down so far even when drive through was shut down. Hope you're making much needed improvements J & M. read more

The Philly Steak Sandwich was good. The Service was prompt and polite. The restaurant was clean

I ordered a brisket sandwich from the new location on 82nd st. The girl who waited on me was excellent. They also have a happy hour special everyday. But I have to say I can cook better brisket. No flavor. None. It seemed to have been roast beef done in an oven. No smoke flavor no seasoning. The buns were bigger than the brisket portion. Hopefully they can improve. read more

The entire time I waited all I heard was complaining about how shitty it was to work there. How the pit masters next move was gonna be his best move. Then, when it's my turn to order I hear it all over again. That kind of attitude carries over into the food. Which was not good at all. I think the glory days are gone for this place. The brisket lacked any flavor. It was dripping with grease and fat. The sausage was dry and cold. Save yourself the trouble and run to tom and bingos or bighams. read more

The best Bar-B-Q restruant I have even been to. The food was outstanding, the service: excellent. This place has the "down home atmosphere that you hope for in a Bar-B-Q establishment. Absolute Great Experience read more

Very bad experience! The food took over 11:2 to get and then the order was wrong. Restaurant calls after an hour of the order being place, that they ran out of brisket. How in the world do you run out of meat @ a BBQ restaurant. The food was cold, the baked was so DRY, the Mac n cheese looked like it was few days old, the mashed potatoes crumbled where it was so dry. I called front counter and of course I was irate but if I am paying $30 for meal, it better be hot and not look like a $5 special when it arrives. We would not recommend this place, food is terrible and the wait is way too long. They did refund us our money but we still will never order from this so called bbq restaurant. Don't waste your time or money!! read more

Casual little building with a weird entrance, but it is SO good. Our server was friendly and funny to talk to, the food came out lightning quick and delicious, and the place felt like being back in my grandparents' wood-paneled house. Definitely recommend the fried okra--it was some of the best I've had! read more

Just ordered from here got delivery. Delivery driver was nice but was smoking while my food and was in the car. Disgusting. Couldn't even sign the receipt without inhaling the disgusting smoke...I swear I almost died. My chest and throat still hurts as I write this review. Ordered a 3 meat dinner with brisket, pulled pork, German sausage, and 2 sides (Mac and cheese and potato salad). In addition, I ordered peach cobbler and ice cream (smallest scoop ever-enough for a 2 year old). They didn't include my potato salad! And the portion sizes are beyond small! Smaller than that at The Shack. The Mac and cheese scoop is as big as the 3 meats I got! Very disappointed! Will not be ordering from here ever again. Wasted 26 friggin dollars that I could've spent at The Shack BBQ. Oh and the sweet tea wasn't even that sweet like other BBQ places. The pulled pork and brisket is so very very very bland - no salt or spice or anything whatsoever. The brisket they sell at SAMs tastes better than this place's. The pulled pork has a taste - as though it's old, and it's so dry. They included BBQ sauce, which is good, but really good BBQ doesn't need BBQ sauce...the meats have their own nice taste. The sausage tastes like it's store bought and i don't even wanna eat the Mac and cheese. Highly disappointed! read more

J&M Bar-B-Q - shows meat, macaroni, and cheese in a styrofoam container - Barbeque Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

This is an old school smoke house. When we walked in it was full of smoke from the smoker. A smell I happen go love. Walls smoky and the ceiling stained. What a great old BBQ atmosphere. I had a meat plate brisket was a little dry and very lightly seasoned, sausage was great, ribs were good smoked with the membrane on and no seasoning. There sauce is great and when used on the meat a good combo. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich and I tasted it and it was very good by far there best meat. She enjoyed the sandwich. We would eat there again. Good value for the money. read more

Had an excellent meal delivered by UberEats. It was prepared very quickly. Frito pie is amazing. I've been looking for a place for ribs since The Shack closed, and this was recommended. They did not disappoint! I don't miss The Shack quite so much now. The sides were great. The German sausage was very spicy. Brisket is very good also. Nice prices too. read more

The food here is not consistent. Baked Beans are horrible and dry. Customer Service is sub par. Don't waste your money.

Tasty BBQ The BBQ sauce is excellent. Brisket and ribs are great too. read more

J&M Bar-B-Q - 3 meat plate with 2 sides - Barbeque Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

First time here with my dad. The pulled pork sandwich is fantastic! Mac and cheese is good (I'm a cheese lover.) The waitress recommended fried okra, and it was my first time trying it. I like it! The barbecue sauces are amazing. Spicy wasn't spicy at all though. Very laid back and informal- cafe style. If you want to bring a first date out, probably don't come here. read more

J&M Bar-B-Q - Texas towel holder! - Barbeque Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Used UbersEat to order two items. Delivered only one item. Called and spoke to the manager. She said she would send her own delivery person out. 30 minutes later still nothing. Called back and was told that the driver was on the way. An hour later still nothing. Called back and they hanged up on us! THIS IS WORST PLACE TO EAT! The only item we received did not taste that good, did not worth the price. This was our first time and obviously last time with J&B BBQ. The way they do business like this we believe they would be out of business sooner or later. read more

The food was delicious. My husband and I both got the three meat platter. Very friendly staff. Worth a try if your looking for a great dive. read more

The brisket was so dry possibly the worst I've ever had from a BBQ place. Sausage, fried okra, toast was ok. The potato salad was watery. Maybe they were having a bad day but I won't be back. read more

I was very patient with the staff at J&M when ordering food but unfortunately I was met with exceptionally poor service. My order was confirmed for delivery and was late by nearly 3 hours. The restaurant also called nearly every 30 minutes with substitutions on my ordered meal in which even the substituted items had to be changed for me to get food I've already prepaid for. Had an awful experience with delivery as well as I had given detailed instructions to find the apartment only to have their driver tell me to come to the front office of my complex to get my food as they couldn't find my apartment. Overall even after delivery my food was cold and was far from what I originally ordered. read more

We were in Lubbock for the day. My husband searched for bar b w restaurants nearby and found this restaurant. Food was below average for bar b q. Service was terrible. Restrooms were nasty. Wouldn't expect such bad bar b q in Texas. read more

Exceptionally good! My favs are the brisket and jalapeño sausage! Cole slaw and Mac and cheese are bomb too! Support local!

GROSS, GROSS, GROSS. Ordered 1 pound beef brisket and 1-pint potato salad to go. Beef was BURNED & BLACK around the edges, DRY, and potato salad had weird taste. Made me SICK, 2 days on the toilet. NEVER AGAIN will I waste $33 on barbecue here 34th St J & M. YUCK, YUCK read more

I got the sliced brisket with mashed potatoes and mac n cheese... the brisket was falling to pieces so tender! It was delicious and the Mac n cheese was super creamy and cheesy! read more

Can't visit my family in Lubbock with out eating a meal at J&M! I love to take my grandfather for a super early dinner when its quiet and empty. The wait staff is always so kind to my grandfather and take great care of us. We are fans of the combo plates, but I truly love their sausage! The Texas Toast is a treat as well. read more

i loved the smell and the service but the BBQ was disappointing on this visit. J&M ranked towards the top of my BBQing in Lubbock but on this last visit my brisket was 50% fat, 50% beef. Not a great proportion. So to quote Joe R.'s review, 'I came back, the thrill is gone.' read more

Horrible place to visit. People inside are rude, food takes forever, the phone on the front door automatically hangs up on you, they act like you don't matter to you and will serve customers after you before they even serve you. Walk ins are basically more important than order ahead read more
