ribs in a styrofoam container

The worst ribs I've ever tried to eat. They were so darn tough and taste like lighter fluid. The nerves to charge 20.00. The beans and potato salad was good. I only ate 1 and a half and spit most of it out the meat was to tough to swallow.

Ok let me state I'm not in Texas now. That said yes the place looks just like you want a q joint to look like. However after that it starts going downhill. Cutomers get no interaction with the owner, looked like just tired and ready to go. Maybe an off day. Overall you get the vibe that it could be a killer q shak if or it used to be. Ordered loaded potato, plate of ribs and three sides to get an overall flavor. How can I put it...... just bland ecept for the beans, very tasty. The question is would I refer someone or return myself and the answer is no.

Family meal with ribs, brisket and chicken

I kept waiting for Guy Fierri to walk through the door at any minute. This place had the look and feel of an authentic smokehouse, the type of place where the junk on the wall isn't junk on the wall, but meaningful mementos. While the menu was a blur the food was top notch. The ribs and brisket were smokey, tender and flavorful. I prefer my ribs to be able to stand up without sauce. JJ's needed the sauce but the homemade spicy sauce didn't disappoint. Like many southern joints the drinks were over sweetened, but given the address it was understandable.

Bbq nachos

When I arrived here I was really excited because outside of this place smells absolutely wonderful. When you walk in, turn left and you order at the counter. They give you cups and you get your drink & pick a place to sit. Make sure you keep your ticket because it has your Number that they call for the food on. So while sitting down we noticed this huge fish in the fish tank- was really cool & a beautiful fish but the tank was extremely dirty & looked too small for that fish which made me really sad. So we waited a little over 30 min for our food. People that sat down after us got their food before we did. The lady that brought the food out recognized it and asked us what we ordered and got on it. My boyfriends salad came out then shortly after our food came out. It looked and smelled great. I got the bbq nachos. But as I was eating the nachos it barely had any meat or bbq sauce. Do not make me wait that long for what is in appetizer and call them bbq nachos when almost zero bbq was found. The most exciting part about my meal was the sour cream. That shouldn't happen. My boyfriend got the ribeye and said it was ok. He told me he had been there before & the bbq chicken is really good. If I go back I will definitely get the chicken & update my review.

Picked up the bone and the meat cello right off.

Great bbq shack, tender meat and sauce is think for you bbq lovers who need to know. Spicy sauce is not hot just has flavor with minimal kick.

Certified Angus Beef Ribeye Steak, Sausage

Giving five stars for their steak, not their BBQ. As a local, my family eats here once or twice per month. Hands down the best steak you will find in this area. I have ate steak all around the United States; from Dallas, to Houston, New York City, to St. Louis, Atlanta, and Orlando, Chicago, and so on. JJ's steaks rank pretty high on my list. Their steaks aren't pretty and aren't trimmed to perfection, but they are large, wonderfully seasoned and buttered, and are cooked to perfection on a wood fired grill. You have two options: 1" ribeye or 1-1/4" ribeye, that's it. The 1-1/4 cut I would guess is between 16 and 20 ounces. Definitely large enough to share, unless you love steak like me and can handle it alone. Pretty sure they buy their steaks pre-cut, and I'm not even sure what grade they are, but there is always plenty of fat marbling and a nice big fat cap. Do yourself a favor and pass on the BBQ.

One of the better burgers I've had anywhere in the world. I grew up in El Dorado, but I didn't grow…read moreup eating Minute Man burgers. What a shame! They're so good. Minute Man is a family owned burger joint that also has some Mexican fare on the menu. Locals wait in line and call ahead to order chargrilled burgers that are as worth a special trip as In-N-Out or Five Guys. Kind of like Five Guys, you can expect a five to ten minute wait after you order. Calling ahead is a good idea, but also like Five Guys, a Minute Man burger is well worth the wait.

This place was okay. I came here with my boyfriend because we had business in town and I saw some…read morepositive reviews here on Yelp. I don't think it lived up to the hype, though. The flavors of the burger patties were pretty good from the grill that they use right by the front counter. The downside is that the portion sizes are really small, like a kid's size. If a grown man wanted to get full, he could maybe do so by ordering 2-4 burgers with fries and a drink to do so. My boyfriend said 5 would of probably done it for him. You also have to purchase everything separate, because there were no combo options with fries and a drink. The food has a very "homemade" feel to it, like I could of made them with a grill myself. The prices are pretty cheap, at least. Roughly $3 a burger. Aside from burgers, they have some Mexican options like burritos. This is kind of a confusing concept, but whatever works for them I guess. They also have a drive-thru. If I had any real complaints other than the small portions, it would be for the service and the decor. The counter is run by some older ladies who could benefit from working on their manners. Their overall demeanor was kind of grumpy and a total downer for my excitement towards trying this hole in the wall place that people around here seem to really like. The decor looks like it hasn't been touched since it opened, I'm guessing decades ago. It seemed dirty and the mismatched chairs/tables/and salt and pepper shakers contributed to the drab feel of the environment. If I lived in the area, I might go here for a cheap lunch, but I don't think I'd make the effort to come back otherwise. I'm giving it a three stars for the flavor of the burgers and the fact that they cook them over a charcoal grill in shop.
