    Hush puppies
    Rusty J.

    This place used to be really good. It's no where close to being the dining experience it once was. We were seated immediately. Our orders were taken reasonably soon after that. Our food was a little slow coming out. Our server never returned to table. She never filled our drinks. She never checked if everything was okay. We saw her talking to her coworkers a lot. We both ordered a barbecue sandwich and a side. The barbecue was okay. Mine had two hunks of fat on it that I had to pick off. The baked potato was dehydrated(I needed more butter and sour cream). I always hate to see good place like go downhill. Even their sanitation grade has bottomed out. If they really cared they could probably bring it back up.

    The food is delicious. Quick and friendly service. You can't pass through Rockwell without stopping in to try this place!

    BBQ Plate
    Bill W.

    Not much open on Labor Day so we gave it a shot. So there are no surprises, they only take cash or local checks although an ATM is at the entrance.. Drove over and explored Morrow Mountain State Park and Lake Tillery. Never occurred to us that ir was Labor Day and restaurants may not be open. Our mistake. we should have nailed this detail down earlier. Driving back we remembered this place being open from our trip down to the Park so we opted for it. Walked in and were finally told to seat ourselves which we did.and out server was there fairly quickly and took our drink order and gave us our menu's. We both settled on specials. I had the BBQ Plate along with French Fries Red or BBQ Slaw and Baked Beans and or course the perfunctory hush puppies. My companion ordered the "Dipped Chicken", Sweet Potato Fries, and White Slaw. Neither of us were overwhelmed with lunch. First bite of the BBQ was all fat but it did get better as I worked through it. The Table Pepper Vinegar Sauce was very heat and no character. The Fries were oily and soggy and the Red Slaw had no bite to it. The Hush Puppies and the Baked Beans were both very good however and were the highlight of the meal. My companion could not describe the Dipped Chicken so hard to characterize. She had asked before she ordered if it was breaded and was told it was Dipped so she went ahead and ordered it. Whatever it was, was very spicy and not spicy in a characteristic BBQ way. While Slaw was OK but she had to add more sugar to it. Sweet Potato Fries were fair. While our server was good, there was an ongoing dispute among the servers about who was suppose to bus which tables and who was going to check out customers. If's fine to have these discussions but not in front of customers. Not a high point in all of the restaurants I have visited and reviewed over the years.

    Chicken philly sandwich
    James S.

    Really better than reviews show. Large clean restaurant with booth and table seating. Large private lot parking. The service was fast and friendly. The menu was large with lots of choices and daily specials. My pic was the chicken philly sandwich which came on recommendation. The sandwich was nicely toasted with grilled chicken onion and mushrooms. Very tasty. Fries were cooked nice and crispy as requested. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. When I'm in the area I will gladly stop again.

    This is a relatively new looking place, and big. They offer all 3 meals, 7 days a week. Besides BBQ, they have Seafood (including some All-You-Can-Eat items), the usual variety of Sandwiches & Salads, and Daily Specials ranging from Spaghetti to Prime Rib. The BBQ is tender, but comes unsauced and is dry, and bland. They offer 2 sauces, one vinegar based, one tomato based - the vinegar based helps, but it is a very mild sauce. This is not bad pork, but not nearly as tasty as a number of other places in this area offer. The regular Chopped Sandwich goes for $3.35. The Chili Dog was Ok, but like much of the hot dog chili in this area, the primary taste is sweetness. Their Foot Long costs $3.09, and is not one I'd order again. .

    Hamburger steak plate with two sides that are fries and salad. Great portion sizes and food.

    I go to Austin, TX at least once a year for work and Jon G's is the best Texas-style BBQ I've had…read moreoutside of the lone star state (and the best kolaches I've had anywhere.) We arrived at 9:45 on a chilly, drizzly day and there were probably 50 people in line ahead of us. There was a friendly staff member monitoring and organizing the line and she told us we were there on a 'slow' day because of the weather. After the restaurant opened at 11, we waited in line for probably another 45 minutes until we got inside to order. The brisket was great, but the best things we had were the kolaches (stuffed breakfast rolls available before they open), Cheerwine hot link sausage, and fruit crisp. The Cheerwine sausage was the biggest surprise. It had a great flavor and wasn't sweet - I've never had anything like it before. When we get a chance to go back, we'll probably skip the pulled pork and mac & cheese. They were fine but there's a lot to try and these weren't anything special.

    I'm usually not one to rave about BBQ nor is it something I usually crave but Jon G's is…read moreabsolutely phenomenal. There's a good reason it sells out before they close almost every dang day. Known for its tender briskets, flavorful meats and flavor packed side dishes, Jon G's is my all time fav in terms of bbq and southern cuisine. My brother also places a Thanksgiving every order now ha.
