I enjoyed their bbq... But my Wife didn't. She thought their ribs weren't lean enough. Difference of opinions, I thought they were fine. Perhaps we'll need to go again, for another test? Unfortunately, not many bbq ribs choices in the Rocklin area. read more

It's been a loooong time since my hot husband has been bragging about this place and asking to take our family to taste and confirm. Well...last week we got our chance! We visited Crooked Lane Brewery just to sample this family owned and operated food truck superstar. The sandwich board menu had some delish options so I'm thankful our party of 6 was able to order the perfect cross section of food. I chose the chicken philly, hubs got the ribs, kids were cheeseburgers all the way. My 75 years young aunt dared to try the jalapeño poppers. We all shared a bit to get a taste of everything. Chicken Philly was pretty darn tatsy. The bread was soft and fresh. I'm usually only a fan of the cole slaw I make but i had to try this bacon cole slaw. It was simply perfect! I would have never thought I would ever utter those words about cole slaw...pigs must be flying somewhere. Cheeseburgers were solid. Definitely a crowd pleaser. Poppers were good. Not the best ever but creamy and just enough kick. Ribs were "off the hook" said my grill master husband. He bbq's about 4 times a week and he can make anything on the grill taste fire!! No pun intended..so if he likes the bbq...I'm in! Great job you guys. Can't wait until next time. read more

JJ's smoke N BBQ - Combo platter! - Food Trucks Near Me

JJ's BBQ is the best in town! No matter what I pick off the menu I'm not disappointed. My favorites are the tri tip sandwich and the salmon burger. On top of the great food, the owners of the truck are fantastic. They are such a friendly family and take the time to make everyone's experience an enjoyable one. I follow them on Facebook now so that I can stay informed on where they'll be during the week. I can't wait to go back for more tasty food and great company!! read more

I paid good money for boiled ribs, absolutely no smoke ring and the pit was completely cold so it was not even being used, I guess it was just there for looks. Very disappointed. If you have a nice pit then why are you not using it? read more

We have had JJ's BBQ a few times now. Once at Goat House Brewery and a couple times over at Dragas Brewery. Everything we have tried was absolutely great. The TRI-TIP sandwich and the RIBS are definitely my favorites, but don't forget to order the GARLIC FRIES too - they are fabulous! Oh, and my husband loves the WINGS. We are always excited when we see their truck. We even started following them on Facebook so my husband would know which brewery he wanted to go to. If you love BBQ, this is a must. The owner and his family are always so nice... read more

I cannot comment on the food, because I never got any. Was at brew pub in Auburn and ordered some garlic fries. It took 15 minutes to order, 1st in line at window. There seemed to be some disorganization and no one could take order..."We'll be right with you". After ordering, waited 25 minutes and no fries. Went back to window to inform them and was not given any information or food. 10 minutes later, went back to get refund, but there was a line and no one could take an order..."We'll be right with you". So I walked away from my fries and 7 dollars. Maybe it was just a bad day. read more

Food trucks are probably one of my favorite kinds of food and JJ's Smoke and BBQ has to be among the best I've ever had! I had the opportunity to eat the pulled pork sandwich with the side of the chef's awesome Sriracha chips. The cole slaw served with the pulled pork offered a perfect pairing with its light, yet so flavorful taste profile. The cashews were a pleasant and surprising twist to the slaw. Would highly recommend! read more

What an experience! Between the succulent chicken, house made chips, and mouthwatering coleslaw I've never had better barbecue at a food truck before. The truck was at a local brewery and it definitely satiated my hunger pangs! Definitely a must try. read more

I was looking forward to eating at this truck again (last time they had almost run out of everything, but the food was still decent), but when we got to Moksa last night at 7pm, they were already completely closed down, drinking beer in the brewery. Very disappointed that they couldn't stay open later. read more

Yep the jury is still in JJ's Smoke N BBQ rocks it with the BBQ....my family and I love this place and enjoy following them on Facebook to see where they are going on the weekends. The owners are super nice folks and take BBQ very serious. For me they get whats right about BBQ The Meat! So don't waste time looking around the 916 for great BBQ because there really isn't. Instead look up these guys on Facebook and find out there next stop...Oh and BTW I forgot to mention one of the best parts they are always at great breweries in the local area like Goat House Brewing, Out of Bounds, Final Gravity, Moonraker and Knee Deep Brewing...which our families favorite is Goat House for not only the beers but the overall laid back chill environment there. So look up JJ's, pile the family in your transport vehicle and go relax at one of these breweries...doesn't get much better than BBQ and ice cold brew. read more

An evening of beer and stopped in at Knee Deep. Food truck of the evening was JJ's. I had the pork chop, Dan had the tritip sandwich. Tritip was tasty, but lose the veggies...just want my meat! Pork chop was phenomenal! Slaw was a little "meh", but overall satisfied with the offerings. read more

Who wouldn't stop at this cute, eye catching food truck? But then we ate-- and it was AWESOME! So now we stop for the food- not just the truck- and the people who run it are so fun & friendly! So glad we stopped! And now we are followers of this yummy truck! My Family can't decide if the tri-tip sandwich or the pulled pork is better.. Both GREAT! Get there schedule- TOTALLY WORTH THE DRIVE where ever they are parked! We caught them at the Goathouse Brewery, and at the high school! read more

My wife normally hates pulled pork but loved Jim's. The ribs, tri-tip and piled pork were all excellent, among the best I've ever tasted

Had the Tri Tip sandwich and homemade chips. The chips were good. The customer service was good. The sandwich was boring and was missing a smokey bbq flavor! read more

Best BBQ I've had in a long time! Family owned and run makes this food truck so amazing! Haven't had a disappointing meal at all! Always delicious! Love love the ribs! read more

Great flavors and selection of perfectly cooked and smoked meats. Friendly staff with a smile. And LOCAL! Keep up the great work JJ's

Smoke was good on the tri-tip but this BBQ food truck didn't even serve BBQ sauce with the sandwich (not on it or on the side) ... had to ask for it. Sandwich served with mayo, lettuce, and red ripe tomatoes. Odd but a nice change minus the mayo part. Average store-bought buns/rolls. Homemade chips were great. Chicken sandwich looked average. And they ran out of pulled pork early in the evening, so that must be the thing you need to order. read more

The barbecue and sides are always delicious. Awesome barbecue and friendly service! We love this food truck!

Had them at Dragas Brewing today. The tri-tip is amazingly tender. The roll was soft and perfect. The owner Jim is a super nice guy. They are family owned which makes them even better in my book. I will come back to Dragas everytime they are here. read more

Cole slaw was delicious!!!! I would have given 5 stars if the burger patties were home made... the veggies that put on the burgers tasted homegrown and like they just picked them!!! They deserved a patty with as much flavor. Other than that, the bacon on the burger was cooked perfect and with the amazing tomato, lettuce and crunchy pickles!! read more

They came out for a rocklin thunder event and i have never seen or heard of them before. I tried the tri tip sandwhich with fruit and the pulled pork sandwhich with chips. Tri tip was so flavorful and came on a roll with some kind of aoili, and some produce. It was very tender and easy to chew. The fruit was very fresh and there was a wide variety. They also put a small cookie looking dessert on the side. I would buy a whole pack of those things!! Yum!! It tasted like cake, cookies and cornbread all at once!! Tipped with powdered sugar!!! The bbq pulled pork came with coleslaw inside and it was awesome!!! I will be on the lookout for this truck! read more

Was a little bummed that the fries seemed like Ore Ida crinkle cuts, but everything was fresh & delicious. Great pairing up w/ Draga's on their part. read more

Hung out at Dragas brewery and had jjs BBQ for the first time. Had the tri-tip sandwich and it was amazing paired with an amber beer from Dragas. Also had some of their home recipe coleslaw, great stuff!! A good beer and flavorful cooked bbq always a good combination. Will definitely try the rest of their menu in the weeks to come. read more

The owner worked answered my questions about ingredients and when not sure made a suggestion on what to have. The tri tip sandwich and garlic fries are excellent. Highly recommend you eat at this food truck. read more

Very disappointed with the food and more importantly the service. The "garlic fries" are made from frozen ore Ida crinkle fries which were under cooked. Don't even think about asking for ketchup or they will berate you in front of other customers. Maybe they were having a bad night but I would stay away from these guys. When they told me I would have to pay for packets of ketchup I was willing to do it. Even though it seems a little ridiculous charging for condiments I asked politely how much extra and while they tried to figure that out another employee standing behind me told other customers that they could order " as soon as I was done taking all of their ketchup". Totally shocked at the disrespect to a customer that just bought $30 worth of food I walked away. Unbelievable and embarrassing. If I am a business thinking about having them out, think twice they will treat your customers horribly. read more

Wonderful service & delicious food! This truck was at the Moonraker Brewery and we were there having a beer, we had our 3 labs with us when the truck guy came by & asked if the dogs could have a treat. Sure! He gave them tri tip bites! We thought that was pretty awesome and then we had there combo plate & that confirmed they were fantastic all the way around. read more

Had JJ's today for the second time. Both times: cold cheap white roll. Tasteless coleslaw. Tritip today was not well trimmed, which means that I had to pick hunks of gristle, fat etc. out of my mouth while eating in a public place. Last time, I had the hot dog. Hot dog was good, but the bun was cold. For an $8 dog, I expect a great roll & a choice of quality condiments (not just one pkt of plain yellow mustard). By the way, this is my first ever Yelp review, even though I have been on Yelp for years. read more

Love this food truck and follow it whenever I can. Amazing food with fantastic service. Can't wait until I can have their ribs again! Yum!!!

My fav is the pulled pork sandwich and baked beans. Tangy and spicy. The BBQ sauce is excellent and the homemade chips are done just right.

Hands down the best BBQ around! I've had their food on multiple occasions and their service and eats are unrivaled. Must try the pulled pork and tri-tip sandwiches and garlic fries... DELICIOUS! Don't miss this food truck! read more

Love JJ's Smoke N BBQ! We are from SoCal, but whenever we are passing through, we make it a point to stop and visit this food truck wherever they are. The tri-tip sandwich is my personal favorite! The juicy, tender meat full of flavorful BBQ sauce never disappoints! Love the onion rings and garlic fries too! The owners are super friendly and we love supporting a family owned business! You can follow them on Facebook to find their location. Make sure you stop by for some of their yummy, cooked to perfection BBQ. You won't be sorry! read more

One word needed...YUM! This is some great bbq and the service was awesome. I'll definitely keep coming back for more and recommend you try it for yourself! Thanks JJs for making dinner an easy choice! read more

Excellent BBQ tritip pulled pork ribs coleslaw and beans!!!! Very friendly owner and head customer service specialist! Gotta try it!

The BEST food truck in town! Not only is the BBQ delicious, but the family that runs the food truck is so nice and gracious. I have ordered almost everything from their menu, but the ribs and pulled pork are my favorite! The food is a perfect compliment to the beer available at the breweries where they frequently serve -- Dragas, Loomis Basin Brewery and Goathouse. I highly recommend grabbing some grub from this beautiful red food truck! read more

I ordered the BBQ bacon cheeseburger and my husband ordered the hot dog while at the boat races at Camp Far West on New Year's Day. We both ordered the shrimp pasta salad as a side. Wow! There were incredible flavors in everything and the food absolutely hit the spot. Very tasty! read more
