    Hairy tips and fries
    Vaughn J.

    6/30/2020 There was a piece of hair in my food about 10 months ago, I reached out to JD we came to a resolution and I changed my review. We've ordered from here several times since without issues but tonight upon opening my food and removing the bread there was another piece of hair found in my food. I again reached out to the owner however this time I wasn't looking for a resolution because I've decided this place is disgusting but I wanted to make him aware that more hair was found in his food. JD stated that he's unsure why he's completed thousands of orders yet I'm the only one who's found hair (twice now). He however was willing to reimburse me for the price of the food. I'm unsure why I'm the only one that has found hair as well but we've ordered from here a total of 6 times and of which there's been hair 2 times, I personally find that percentage to be unlikely that I'm in fact the only person who has located hair from this place. There is absolutely some disgustingness going on at this place. I am beyond furious this time because I understand maybe it happens once but this is the second time. No thank you...stop sharing your DNA with customers!!!! 7/1/2020 I awakened this morning to a message on here from someone who has one review which just happens to be of this restaurant. Pretty much stating that my picture appeared altered and my review has no validity. 1) I have no reason to lie about hair being in my food as I gain nothing. 2) I can pay for whatever it is I want. 3) I am as well a Black business owner and I have no reason to lie on another. Which is why I allowed the resolution the first time but hair twice, I'm sorry we cannot resolve that. This review stands! As per my other reviews I have never posted about hair found in my food before. Furthermore if she don't typically post reviews what made her post this one??? I can tell you why it's because it's one of his friends or family members. There's no way I'm the only one who has had hair in my food twice now from this place. Eat slowly when ordering from here you are nearly guaranteed to locate hair.

    Chicken Wings mild sauce!

    When I tell you that Joliet and the surrounding suburbs have a BBQ House that will satisfy your EVERY crave of some good Que IT'S HERE!! JD's BBQ is an awesome addition to Joliet! I almost ordered everything on the menu...the wings well seasoned and the sauce is the BOMB!! The tips were off the chain and VERY TENDER! You can tell when a GrillMaster/Smoker has perfected their craft and Rico certainly has!! Couldn't leave without a large hot link which was tasty and juicy NOT dried out sausage like so many spots overcook them I also bought two bottles of their sauce so I know I'll have my personal stock of it! We'll definitely be back and looking forward to have JD's cater soon...#Blessings

    Amazing BBQ! I ordered literally everything off the menu for my wife and I. The bbq sauce is homemade and unlike any other... flavorful, spicy, very different! all the meats are very tender, juicy, well made and smoky. I was able to taste the ribs with no sauce and I was falling off the bone tender and seasoned perfectly. We are definitely going back

    The Barbeque was not good. It tasted like liquid smoke was poured over my pork and turkey tips. The Turkey tips sauce was awful.

    Station One Smokehouse - Pork Rib Sandwich

    Texas-style BBQ, good sides, and a friendly atmosphere all add up to a place you'll be coming back…read moreto over and over. Station One Smokehouse offers a variety of different meats by the pound or in sandwich form - brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and more. All the meats will bring a smile to your face. The smoke ring is there, everything is still juicy, and there's quite the variety of sides. BBQ sauces are available with utensils and drinks off to the side, but you could do without the sauce. The food is that good. It's a legit BBQ place when they're not trying to slathering their meats in sauce trying to conceal something. There's also a bar and TVs to enjoy beers and sports that runs the length of the interior. Station One knows their craft and it's nice to see a legitimate BBQ spot. The only problem is that it isn't closer to my house.

    Today was a shocking experience at Station One(Plainfield) My husband and I get food here atleast…read moretwice a month. Use to go once a week. Amazing BBQ but today was shocking. I got a chopped brisket sandwich, sliced brisket sandwich and a full slab of ribs 75.00 spent. Chopped brisket was like bacon and super dry. The guy open a newly wrapped brisket to slice one of my sandwiches. Totally dry to the point we had to lots drink water to get it down. I tried adding alot of bbq sauce so it could go down. This has never happened before. The ribs were over cooked the outside was hard. Not sure what's going on but I noticed different workers and maybe something has changed. I called back to complain and was not offered a refund or something else to replace the food. Times are difficult and we don't have money to waste on food that's not edible. Wasted money...

    Service is prompt and friendly…read more We ordered the sample platter which was plenty of food to split between three people and still have leftovers. YMMV depending on your party's appetite. Brisket - not the best I've had, but definitely good Pork Belly Burnt Ends - delicious! The sticky sweet sauce they come in is amazing. Pulled Pork - good Sausage link - meh Mac & Cheese - better than many places, but I'd probably try a different side next time Tater Tots - sooo good! Texas Twinkie - perfect flavor and jalapeno poppers and not usually my thing Pickles and pickled onions - so good! Pecan pie - took this home to eat later and it was one of the best pies I've ever had The BBQ sauce at a place can make it or break it. I didn't care for the vinegar based one, but their honey bbq sauce is delicious. I appreciated that they gave me a cup of it automatically when I asked for a to go container.

    I found Matt's while I was down at Lockport and did a search for BBQ on Yelp. I was surprised to…read morefind a Texas inspired BBQ so I had to check it out. Being from Alabama, fresh-brewed sweet tea is a must for me with BBQ. Matt's does not have sweet tea but I called and asked if I could bring my own. I was told sure so that made it extra special for me. As I entered Matt's, I ordered at the counter and I had help from the nice lady. She told me all meat plates come in 1/2 pound but I could order sliders that came in 1/4. That's why I went with the brisket slider and pulled pork slider. I wanted to try the pork belly burnt ends but those didn't come in a sandwich. Both sliders were fantastic! The meat was juicy and what I exactly want from BBQ. The pulled pork slider went extremely well with the Carolina Vinegar sauce like it should. The honey BBQ and hot honey BBQ were better matches with the brisket. I loved all 3 sauces but was most impressed with the Carolina Vinegar. The meat and sauces were impressive but the sides over all were underwhelming for me. Something to note was that this might be the only BBQ joint I have ever been to with so many sides and baked beans was not one of them. The slaw was all right but adding the Carolina vinegar took it to another level. The potato salad was homemade and actually cost an extra $1 for some reason. But I didn't like it because I don't like celery. That one is on me because other than the celery, it was all right. But the side I was most disappointed with was the mac and cheese. The lady behind the counter told me they do not make it in house but buy it frozen and smoke it. They need to find another formula for it because this was not worth $5 for a side of Mac and cheese. The noodles were too doughy and could tell it was indeed frozen at one point and the cheese was more like nacho cheese than real cheese. I couldn't even finish it with how disappointed and disgusted I was with it. Despite the sides, Matt's gets the most important part of BBQ right and that's the meat. The meat and sauces were top notch and I truly appreciate them letting bring in my own sweet tea.
