Used to be a great BBQ place but not anymore. The food quality has gone downhill. Portions are smaller and prices are up. Spent most of my time trying to keep flies off my food. read more

First off the bar-b-que is delicious. Pork or beef doesn't matter, either will always be a good choice. The fried green tomatoes.... Smashing, smashing, smashing..... Booth and table seating available in a somewhat "country" setting. They also sell cakes, buck eyes and other candies perpendicular to the front counter. The quality of the food has been superb the last 3 times I visited.... Good choice if your between Meter and Statesboro Ga... Right off I-16 going towards Netter, but it's tucked away of the road, so just look for the sign read more

Jomax BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Metter, Georgia

Eating at this place necessitated me writing my first ever review. I had been on a eight day binge across the lower part of these beautiful United States so I had a very solid reference from which to relate my bbq experience here. The service? Unparalleled. Our waitress was a nice young lady that did not take exception from us being from out of town, and not familiar with some of the fare. I am not sure how this has two dollar signs because they had a full meal pulled pork sandwich option for under six dollars and a rib plate dinner for a few more. Both included two sides. Absolutely unheard of from my perspective. The peach cobbler - delicious with home made ice cream. Under three bucks for that. If this place was in my city, I would eat here multiple times per week. Amazing food, amazing prices, amazing people and service. Went to bbq joints throughout Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Memphis, Georgia, Arkansas and Alabama and this is at or tied at the top given price and quality. read more

I had a very good lunch. The staff was very friendly. This is good place to stop between Atlanta & Savannah on I-16.

We stop at this exit all the time when traveling on I-16 and have never thought about eating here until week. We were just tired of the same old franchises. This will now be our go to place. Food was very good and prices were even better!! The BBQ was juicy, and the fried squash and okra were just right. We got our food to go, and it was quick. The lady at the counter was so kind that she alone would make me want to come back. Definitely a diamond In the ruff you should try! read more

AMAZING!! Saw this place from the road on our way to Hilton Head and decided to pop in! Firstly - the food was simple and good!! Pork was tender with just the right amount of BBQ sauce! but mainly the service was incredible - Ethan and Savannah were so lovely and chatted away to us seeing as we were visiting from Northern Ireland. We absolutely loved our visit all the staff were super friendly, food was tasty and service was quick! We even bought t-shirts to remember the restaurant! :) read more

Always good breakfast. Love having a hometown business that appreciates our patronage. The morning crew will keep your coffee cup filled. Good friends and good food read more

Great bbq and fast friendly service. Had the cornbread pork and Mac n cheese; all very good

First time yelp let me down. We stopped at this place because of the great reviews. The service is excellent, the ribs were ok, and the bbq was over cooked and dry. However, the main thing you need to know is that their sauce is based on vinegar. If you like this, you may like the place (may have just been a off day) but if you like sweet sauce, your out of luck. read more

I have had the pleasure of eating at Jomax twice. After a long car drive sitting down for some delicious BBQ pork with friendly, attentive staff. I highly recommend the pork - I'm sure everything on the menu is delicious but I've only tried the pork. It was so delicious the first time when I found myself back at Jomax I had to have it again. The green beans are great as is the fried okra and fried green tomatoes. My toddler loved the Mac and cheese and if I'm ever on 1-16 this is my stop! Classic southern country cooking you can't go wrong! read more

Not really what you would expect for a place with a BBQ sign 30 feet in the air. Left here dissatisfied. The next meal, I went to Papa Bucks BBQ across the street. Glad I chose to try another BBQ joint in town, papa bucks is amazing!!! read more

My wife, daughter and I stopped in on our way to Brunswick from Atlanta. We were looking for something relatively quick and my wife had spotted JOMAX in the past so we thought we'd give it a try. Nothing but disappointment for us. I ordered the half chicken plate with stew and slaw. The chicken was completely dried out and hard. It was scalding hot which clearly indicates it went in the microwave before it got to me. The stew was like no other Brunswick stew I've ever had before. It was more like a corned beef hash in both texture and flavor. The slaw very creamy and very sweet with a little tartness, the best thing on my plate after the Texas toast. The slaw did not seem like it was made in house. I got the feeling it was a Costco like slaw. We ordered fried green tomatoes which were good but horribly sliced. One was 1/2" thick at one side and tapered to nothing on the other. No care taken to make them uniform. Rock hard as well at that thickness. The honey mustard served with them was good. My daughter ordered a BLT. She said it was ok. My wife thought the same about her order of stew that I did. No resemblance to any stew we have tried. The staff was friendly and attentive so we left a good tip. We won't go back and would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Brunswick stew tasted like canned vegetable soup, probably because they were using canned potatoes. I am a big fan of taters in my stew, but canned vegetables make for terrible product. Ruined the whole thing; I couldn't even finish the small portion they brought. Ordered a brisket and rib combo, they brought pulled pork and pulled beef. They brought me my two spare ribs, which were cooked in a firmer, competition style. They were okay, but not memorable. If you like a very tender rib, these would have disappointed you. Brisket is not pulled beef. That shouldn't have to be said. I really wanted to like them, but it was just ok PS The bought-in red velvet bar from Cotton Patch Bakery was great read more

A great roadtrip stop on our way from Savannah to Atlanta. We saw this place randomly and the reviews looked great so we tried it. The feel is very homey. Service was fast and the food was straight up homestyle bbq. We had a great experience and I HIGHLY suggest purchasing some baked goods at the cash register. My fiancee and I LOVED the blueberry bar. Amazing! read more

Ordered ribs but not fall of the bone good or smoked. Fried green tomatoes and okra great. Friendly waitress and staff. Desserts looked homemade but taste not so good. Vegetable soup was great along with stew. read more

I was on my way to Jekyll Island Memorial Day weekend for my nephew's wedding, and looking for some inexpensive local fare. Well, I received a call from my cousin who was three hours ahead of us, telling us to stop at Jomax for some BBQ. Of course, we were skeptical because restaurants located next to a bunch of gas stations and convenience stores aren't typically that great. Ummm, wrong! This was some of the best BBQ I've ever had in my life! The people were nice, restaurant was clean, and even the sides were incredibly tasty. Now I can't wait for my next trip down I-16 so I can make another pit stop at exit 104. read more

Great southern BBQ. Stopped randomly during our trip from Atlanta to St. Simons. Island. Homely feel, laud back and great food.

On the road, we stopped off in Metter, but couldn't decide where to go. On a whim we went here and it was awesome. The side items were amazing. Homemade mac n'cheese fried squash. Delicious. My wife had the cheeseburger and it was like a backyard hamburger. It was all really good. read more

Just off the interstate and the food was really great! The waitress was so friendly and the other people in the restaurant were very friendly!!! It was like eating my granny's cooking!! read more

Really great BBQ. I had the combo with ribs and brisket and it was excellent. Interior is interesting, service was great. I will stop again when I am in town. read more

Good southern cooking. We did not have bbq but their meat and two. Friendly service. On the way out I picked up their Martha Washington balls described as "Almond Joy like". If almond Joys were this good people would be killing over them. read more

Super friendly service and yummy barbecue, sides and dessert. We stopped in on our way to SC on a Sunday afternoon and the employees were very attentive and working hard to prepare our food. The Mac and Cheese was yummy and the fried green tomatoes were scrumptious!!! It's an easy on and off the interstate and certainly beats the chain restaurants! They have yummy baked goods available from a local bakery that are definitely worth trying if you can manage to have any room left after the super generous portions of barbecue and sides! It has a cozy, southern atmosphere as well. read more

I've eaten here twice and they seem to be consistent with their ribs. The first time I had baby backs and this time it's the St. Louis style. The place will due when your hungry but it's not my first choice! read more

Good food, good prices, great service and atmosphere. And you might just get to meet Joe and Maxine. Their brand of southern hospitality is something rarely seen in today's corporate restaurant world. A true gem! read more

The best ranch potato salad I have ever had. A small time restaurant in Swainsboro, unique grounds, tried to copy it and just couldnt get it right! I will never go anywhere but here to get the famous, ranch potato salad. read more

Located behind the Parker's gas station, Jomax BBQ may be a bit hard to find. But, once you see the propane tank pig you'll know you hit pay dirt. A fantastic little place with food to match. The menu is the standard BBQ fare - pork, brisket, steak and burgers. Regular sides - okra, squash, mac & cheese, fries, etc. My Jumbo pork sandwich was tender with a bit of spicy sauce on a soft bun. The Brunswick Stew was thick and tasty. Fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can see why the locals call Jomax "home". Service was fast, parking was plenty. When you get ready to pay your bill up front, check out the dessert bars made by Cotton Patch Bakery. I had the Cream Cheese bar - a little bit of Heaven! read more

We totally stumbled into Jomax's by happy accident when we pulled off I-16 for gas on a recent trip. Wow...the food was pretty damn good. We had the Texas burger which was a patty, cheese, BBQ pork, and an onion ring on Texas toast. It was a heart attack on a plate, but it was delicious. We went a second time a few weeks later and ended up having a waitress that was quite scatter-brained. Took a while to get our order and then messed it up, not bringing all the correct things out. Only one fill up of drinks, but I noticed the waitresses were chatting in a back corner, on their cell phones, and gossiping about someone they both disliked. There were only maybe four tables when we were there and we knew that with it being so slow, they were out of sync and not paying as much attention as when we had been there previously and it had been slammed...and the service was excellent. Because the food is so good, we'll give it another shot, but manager...come on...have staff check the cell phones at the door and not focus on Facebook gossip and drama and instead keep our sodas and teas filled while we eat your yummy food. Thanks! read more

RACIST PLACE!!! Went here this weekend, the waitress acted if she never saw black ppl in her life!!! No customer service just flat out rude & on top of that food was horrid no taste just bland!! Shouldve listened to my family and went to BBQ place acriss the road!! Never again and if you're not WHITE stay away!!! read more

You can eat better food here than the fast food places across the street with much friendlier service in a cleaner restaurant.

Good bar-b-que and service. Great alternative to all the fast food restaurnants. No alcohol so a good place for lunch if you are driving on I-16. And it is just off the Interstate, but you have to go looking read more

Really glad Jomax was open yesterday on our way back to Atlanta for the superbowl... Had been a couple of years ago & this time loved the smoked pork BBQ, the sweet-potato fries , brusnwick stew & my wife the baked beans! We were very happy with our meal & Taylor was great looking after us! read more

Ribs - flavorful, cole slaw - does the job, mushrooms - fried, how can you go wrong? White bread and paper towel napkins define the mood. Lemon bars were a indulgent way to complete the meal. Alas, no fried pickles are available as a starter. read more

Very disappointed in the food at Jo Max. I had the spare ribs and mom had the Baby back. The were dry and smelled like they'd been sitting there a while. The service however was outstanding, friendly and fast. Fries were good, the coleslaw was ok, baked beans seemed poured out of a can. The Brunswick stew was cold and also had a funky smell. The fried green tomatoes were ok. We stopped on the way back to Jax from Atlanta, had a great experience at the other BBQ place there (papa Buck) but they were closed on Monday. I was looking forward to a great lunch held out till 1:30 to eat so disappointed read more

My wife and i were driving home from Tybee Island and havent eaten breakfast before we left and were very hungry.Finally,an exit with food .We pull off with intentions of going to waffle house,but my wife sees this bbq place.We see its a little crowded,so we figure it must be good.Best decision we made all weekend.....Great food,great service,great price.....I ordered pot roast and rice,sweet potatoe fries and fried okra....very rarely i eat every bite on my plate ,this time i did and was wanting more.....My wife ordered chicken , brocoli casserole and okra...she said best chicken she s had in a long time.....all this food came within 10 minutes....great place read more
