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 outside 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. read more

I'm usually not one to rave about BBQ nor is it something I usually crave but Jon G's is absolutely 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. read more

I've been following Jon G's BBQ for years, and when I saw on Instagram that the lines were a little shorter than usual due to the weather, we decided to make the hour-long drive--and wow, it did not disappoint. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. They had someone outside explaining the setup and what to expect, which was extremely helpful and made the line move smoothly. We ordered the Porky Brewster sandwiches, savory kolaches, and several sides--Mac n' cheese, street corn, and a side I'm still thinking about: the incredible Fruit Crunch. Every single thing we tasted was absolute perfection. We dined in and also ordered extra to take home for ourselves and others. The quality, flavor, and consistency are unmatched. Jon G's is absolutely worth the drive and worth the wait!! read more

This is the best bbq and is 100% worth the wait! They are only open on Saturday and the line starts early. If you don't want to sit in line all morning you can go later but they might be out of some things. We went this weekend and went around 2. We waited outside for about 30 minutes in a short line and then inside it took about 30 minutes waiting plus ordering time but so worth it! We got brisket, bacon burnt ends, short ribs and Mac and cheese. They were out of a few things we wanted to try but we'll be back! The brisket was so flavorful and moist. We got the less fatty because I dont like fat! The bacon burnt ends are so good! Even the fatty part is amazing and flavorful and I hate fat! The mac and cheese is cheesy and so good. If you like bbq this is a must try. The inside is small we took ours to go because it's not far for us. Be prepared to wait but its worth it. read more

As a whole experience, this is worth the 4+hour wait (next time I need to remember to bring lawn chairs and some games). Bacon Burnt Ends (5/5): ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! These were meaty, but also had just the right amount of melt-in-your-mouth fat. The sweet, sticky glaze was also fantastic. Need to get at least a full pound next time. Queso Texicano Hot Link (5/5): GREAT snap to the sausage. Nice amount of heat with melt queso inside. Very good. G's Burger Tater Tot Casserole (5/5): Pretty much what you expect with tater tots, ground burger, and cheese. My favorite side. Beef Ribs (5/5): Meaty, fatty, and full of flavor. The bark was maybe a bit too salty, but had a great texture. Brisket Breakfast Taco (5/5): A great blend of flavors. The smoky brisket with the sweet and spicy candied jalapenos was great. I also liked the smoked tallow tortillas a lot. Cheerwine Hot Link (4/5): GREAT snap to the sausage. Just a bit sweet, but I couldn't necessarily identity the cherry flavor. Spare Ribs (4/5): Good ribs with lots of meat, but could've used a little more smoke. It also tasted a little too much like ham for me. Brisket (4/5): Decent brisket, but definitely get the moist brisket. The lean brisket was too dry. Brisket Fried Rice (4/5): Good fried rice, but a little heavy on the soy. The yum yum sauce helped balance that out though. Mac n Cheese (4/5): Pretty standard mac n cheese. Cookies n Cream Kolach (3/5): Nice frosting with the cookie crumbles, but the bread part tasted like just a roll. Jalapeno Cheese Grits (3/5): Was hoping for some more flavor, but I liked the candied jalapenos on top. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

Delicious food and reasonable price! Enjoyed the porkyB taco and mac and cheese. For $10 total, it's definitely on the more affordable side of food truck fare! The taco was delicious, fully loaded. Queso was the perfect add. And the Mac and cheese was thick and cheesy. I can see why this place is popular. There was a long wait even before they officially opened their popup (this was a food truck event at Humbug in Plaza Midwood). Glad we lined up early! read more

Jon G's Barbecue - PorkyB taco and Mac cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Peachland, North Carolina

After three years of living in Charlotte and hearing the constant praise about Jon G's BBQ out in Peachland, I finally made the pilgrimage this past Saturday. With Passover falling on the same day, I figured what better way to honor the holiday than with my own BBQ Seder plate: brisket, burnt ends, and pickled onions absolutely included. I woke up at 6:30 AM and made it there by 7:15, landing a spot among the first 20 in line. By 9:30 AM, I was warming up with a breakfast taco and kolache (because lining up for meat should always include a warm-up round). Lunch service kicked off at 10:30 AM, and since the line wraps around the building and they tend to sell out fast, I did the only logical thing, ordered basically everything. Here's what made it onto my tray: * Brisket, pulled pork, smoked turkey, spare ribs, and white brisket (aka sliced pork belly with Peach-Os) * Cheerwine hotlink and Queso Texicano hotlink * Bacon burnt ends that should honestly be illegal * Mac & cheese, jalapeño cheese grits, burger tater tot casserole, brisket fried rice, brown sugar baked beans, pickles, pickled red onion, yeast rolls * And to finish it off, a big ol' serving of banana pudding for dessert Every single item hit the mark. No notes. No complaints. This is the kind of Texas-style BBQ that outshines anything else you'll find within an hour of Charlotte. It's not an every-weekend kind of stop, but it's absolutely worth the drive a few times a year, especially during the cooler spring or fall months when standing in line isn't a survival sport. Pro tips: * Get there early (like... sunrise early). * Expect a line. * Bring a folding chair, maybe a cooler and some Tupperware to bring leftovers home or freeze some for a rainy day. * They pass out free beer while you wait, but you're welcome to BYOB. read more

10's across the board!! DO NOT leave this place without trying the brisket and beef ribs!! Best we've ever had in our lives. Do yourself a favor and read some reviews before your adventure. I'm so glad I did! We got there at 8:45 and ate around 1:30. Everyone lines up outside in their yard chairs, awaiting the 11:00 am opening. Koulaches are served from the food truck at 9:30 and they sell out *quick*. I got in line at 9:50 and several koulache flavors were already crossed off their menu. They fill up the free beer cooler every 45 minutes with local beer. Limit 2 beers per customer but it is an honor system. Just bring your own like we did. Some items you'll need: Yard chairs Cooler packed - alcohol is permitted Umbrella/tent for shade (or a rainy day) **Paper plates, extra silverware, napkins/roll of paper towels Tupperware from home Some people brought cards & games to pass the time **They give you butcher's paper but we found that my extra paper plates worked better. Also, it was so easy to pack up leftovers in tupperware I brought from home. Otherwise, you have to go back inside and ask for to-go containers. It truly is a BBQ tailgate extravaganza! Take the time to enjoy yourself, make friends with your neighbors, and work up an appetite! I cannot say enough good things about this place. Can't wait to go back. read more

What an awesome time at Jon G' Barbecue! Now the line is long and you have to wait outside. They have chairs for you and you get the opportunity to meet new people and have great conversation. The food is out of this world! I got the brisket sandwich, the mac and cheese was delicious and cheesy throughout. The baked beans were good too. Now if you don't want to travel to Peachland NC you can catch the food truck in Charlotte just follow them on Instagram.

What a great day for Texas BBQ in NC, well Texas and NC BBQ cause you know I got both! I've been itching to try this BBQ for so long and today was a beautiful day to drive down and stand in line and get my BBQ! The line wasn't bad. It took about 1:30 hours to get through the line and order. I don't drink beer so I wish I had brought something to drink for the line. Truthfully I wasn't very prepared for the line. Other people had chairs, coolers, snacks and even their dogs. I will definitely come prepared next time. I ordered from the food truck the Carolina BBQ Plate. I took a few bites and then sent it to share with my family sitting in the car. The beans were delicious. Made me get a pint when I got inside. The barbecue had just enough of the vinegar. Based barbecue sauce on it to give it a delicious flavor. This little sample prepared me for the large amount that I ordered inside. Once inside I sent the Nibling to order us a drink. We had to have Cheerwine duh. It was so refreshing after standing in line. It took me a while in line to iron out my choices, but I decided on 1.25 lb of brisket, half a pound of pork, half a pound of turkey, a Porky Brewster with Queso, one of each of the kolaches, a half pint of corn salad, a half pint of grits, a pint of macaroni and cheese, a pint of brown sugar baked beans, 2 pints of brisket fried rice and a pint of dill pickles. I would say my least favorite was the smoked turkey. I don't like smoked turkey. Smoked turkey does nothing for me. It's a personal thing against smoked turkey but I'm glad I tried it. I'm going to use it on a salad and I know it will be a great addition. I opted on lean and fatty brisket. I don't like fatty pieces of meat, but the lean brisket was a little too lean for me. I dipped it in BBQ sauce and I'm weird I know. My favorites were the Porky Brewster, jalapeño grits, the fried rice covered in yum yum sauce, and the baked beans. I've enjoyed each of the kolaches that we ordered also. Overall I think I will eat there next time. I will make sure it's a good weather day and utilize the outdoor seating. We ordered everything togo this time and snacked on a few things in the car but ate the majority of the items for dinner. Everything reheated well. Everyone working was super friendly and kind. They answered all questions and made you feel at home. It was a great atmosphere. I will take the drive down again and I will be prepared next time!

Had their food truck and it was really good! I shared the bbq plate because it was pretty big. I got the brisket, Mac and cheese and baked beans. The brisket was really good! The Mac and cheese was a little dry but had good flavor. The beans were good but a little heavy because they had meat inside. Overall, it was good bbq but a little too salty and heavy for me. read more

10/10 by far! They have a cult following and there is a strong reason why. I've only had the food truck and am hoping to get out to Peachland asap for the true authentic experience. Best brisket I've had in Charlotte by far, the turkey was moist and delicious and you can never go wrong with their sides. My personal favorite is the jalapeño cheesy grits, like nothing I've had before. The team is always so friendly despite having to get through crazy long lines!

Holy cow. Literally, holy cow. The beef rib at Jon G's is out of this world good. It is God's gift to Peach Land, NC! So soft, so juicy, so flavorful, you won't believe it until you try it. We tried everything on the menu (except the Turkey), and all of it is the best we have had. This was worth the two hours we waited in the rain and more + the 50 minute trip. Service was spectacular, with genuine and kind southern hospitality. The ambience is everything you'd want when getting authentic barbecue. No need to be clean! Get down and dirty to business and eat straight off the paper covered table. Whether you're near or far, Jon G's is the place for you! Definitely a trip worth while :) read more

Was craving some barbeque and stumbled upon this restaurant on tik-tok! I arrived around 2:40 PM. There was a short line outside - even though the line wasn't too long it moved S-L-O-W-L-Y. It took approximately 40 minutes to finally get inside the restaurant to order food. A cooler is outside for customers to grab a free beer! They are only open on Saturdays from 11 am until they sell out of food. Whenever they sell out of items, someone will come outside and write it on the outside of the front door. A friend and I ordered a little bit of everything ... pulled pork, brisket, turkey, burnt ends, mac-n-cheese, jalapeno cheddar grits, baked beans, and coleslaw. Price racked up quickly lol! Highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely come when they open or even a little earlier. read more

Top shelf experience! Cute "hole in the wall" spot. Got there about 8:30, there were about 10 people in front of us. You bring a chair and they bring out complimentary beer at about 10 (it's gross af but free, and beer lol). Jon G personally walked us around, incredible dude, super friendly and happy to share his art. Really enhanced the experience before we even walked thru the door. At about 9:30 they ask what you would like to gauge and inform folks in the back of the line of what may be left. Beef ribs (aka Dinosaur ribs) are in very short supply, get there early if you want em. Everything was great. The top hits and MUST haves are the beef ribs and the Mac/cheese. The ribs truly melt in your mouth, each one is about a 1lb and can easily fill you up. The brisket is normally my favorite bbq around, but their beef ribs really shine. Bacon pork belly burnt ends are good, but if you are coming for the best just go beef rib and leave happy. Couple of tips....get there at 8:30-9 if you want beef ribs. You can arrive late (they open at 11) but either way you are waiting 2.5 hrs to eat and then have less selection. Bring a chair and they do have restrooms. The wait is actually very much like a tailgating experience. read more

We made it to @jongsbbq in Peachland, NC and it def was worth the wait!! We've tried all kinds of bbq along NC and can't seem to find the one that's made for us until recently. We tried their pork ribs, beef brisket, pork brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage dogs, cheerwine dogs, smoked Turkey and almost all their fixin's. Everything was tender and moist. They even gave us 3-4 different bbq sauces to try out. Next time we will be there earlier to try the beef ribs and we will bring chairs and umbrellas for the wait. The lovely thing about them other than the food was.... Friendly service/staff, great out door games and beer as you wait. Bonus: outside bathroom with a/c. We love @jongsbbq read more

OMJ, not OMG - Oh my Jon!! This place is 100% worth ALL of the hype! Let me tell you about this journey.... - Location: For one this spot is located an hour outside CLT in Peachland, NC, so be prepared for a car ride. - Hours: They are only open on Saturdays, plan accordingly. - The wait: We arrived 30 mins before they opened and there were already at least 40 people in line ahead of us. We waited in line for 2.5 hours before we got inside to order/eat. They do have fans blowing outside for the line, free cold beer and there was plenty of new friends we made in line! - Inside & seating: There is actually plenty of seating inside the restaurant, which I was surprised at since it seemed small. The AC was blowing high when we walked in which was very welcoming after standing in the sun & heat for 2.5 hours. There is also plenty shaded seating out back! Now onto FOOD! My goodness. I ordered: - 1/2 lb of the brisket cut by Jon G himself! I definitely regret not getting a full lb. This is the best brisket on this Earth, I'll gladly debate anyone on this fact LOL. - Mac n cheese- it didn't make me want to smack my mama, but it was delicious! - Baked beans- I don't eat pork but sometimes I make exceptions. This was one of those times. FIRE! - Jalapeño cheddar grits- my absolute FAV side. SO flavorful and creamy. It was topped with candied jalapeños too! Like they didn't miss a single yummy detail on these. AMAZING! - Cold street corn salad- I wanted to try this because I love street corn and have never seen it prepared this way. It was pretty good! - The G's Burger- my foodie friend and I split this beautiful burger. It was nice and moist and perfectly cooked. I did prefer the brisket over the burger but it was still very tasty. Overall, this might be the best BBQ I've ever had in NC. Hands down. It was an epic journey full of adventure and danger lol (a girl literally fainted while waiting in line, she was okay though). I cannot wait to plan out another trip with friends, chairs, and a cooler full of ice and booze. People make this trip, it's more than worth it! PRO TIP: They are having a CLT pop-up on July 28th. Beat me there, I plan to buy it all up HAHA! read more

Holy ~smokes~ this place is worth the hype. We got there about 10:30 and made it in the dining room by 1:30 or 2. Koloches were a beautiful touch to tie you over, free beer cooler was a perk, and fellowship really made the whole vibe. Staff was also so friendly! Food was my favorite bbq experience in a long time. I don't even like burnt ends but the bacon burnt ends were fantastic and not overly fatty. Tacos were also our favorite, both sausages were delicious. Corn was a top hit for sides along with the beans and Mac and cheese. We also got the last banana pudding which was delish. Honestly, just go and do it! But also don't because I want to keep this one all to myself. read more

I had been wanting to check out Jon G's for a while. I had seen the pictures, read the articles, and listened to a podcast on Saturday we finally decided to make the trek down to Peachland, NC. It was a bit of a roadtrip for us, but not a bad trip on a lazy Saturday with no plans! Jon G's was originally a food truck (and I think they still do some of this around Charlotte), but they have a permanent location in Peachland that is open only on Saturday's! Be forewarned, there will be a line, but everyone was in a good mood and friendly and you will meet some new people! Jon G's also has a cooler of free beer to enjoy while you are in line! They can give away beer, but cannot sell it in the dry location they are in, crazy law for sure. Eventually you will make it to the door and they will have a list on the front door if anything is sold out yet, then you will make your way inside. Ordering is cafeteria style. You'll order your portions, then your sides, and finally desserts, drinks and pay! Jon G's is not your typical North Carolina Style, it is Texas Style and right on par with most of the BBQ joints I have been to in Texas, and I must say it is just as good as any of those as well! Including some of the big name ones! We, of course, got brisket, as well as sausage, and a little pulled pork. For sides, we got mac and cheese, jalapeño grits, and street corn salad. All of the proteins were great, and in my opinion you cant go wrong with any of them! The brisket, though, was just about perfect, very nice bark, cooked perfectly, and super tender. For the sides, you cannot skip the mac and cheese! It was perfect! I also really enjoyed the street corn salad! The grits were not bad, but also weren't the best I have had. As far as pricing, it is a bit expensive, but that will be the case with any good quality BBQ that is made the right way, and fairly priced when you take that into account. If I had one quip, I will say that it is not as efficient as the similar BBQ places I have been to in Texas which would run circles around them, thus creating the overly long line. While it is worth it once you get your food, it gets to be a bit frustrating especially once you make it inside and see just how slow everything is moving. But its expected, and for a once in a blue moon type thing to go have, not too much of a complaint. Overall, it makes for a long day, but Jon G's is certainly worth of a fun BBQ roadtrip! Great food and a good time! While I will always be partial to NC Style BBQ, specifically Eastern style, it is nice to see some other styles of BBQ represented in NC, especially when done with care and of the quality of Jon G's. read more

What a find! Only open Saturday and until they run out of food. Lucky for us, it was a rainy day and our wait in line was only 2 hours It was with the wait!

Best BBQ in North Carolina that we've tried so far. While there is nothing wrong with the vinegar based BBQ sauce and BBQ that is prominent in North Carolina, we are more fans of brisket and Texas style BBQ. We haven't actually been to the place in Peachland. Instead we've been to two of Jon B's pop-ups. One at Triple C and the other at The Public House in Charlotte. He's definitely got a following because people started lining up at least an hour before they were ready to serve. We've waited an hour for the BBQ and let me tell you... Worth it! As for the BBQ, the brisket has that smoke ring you want to see when looking for good brisket. It's juicy, smokey, and flavored well that you don't even need any of the sauces if you don't want. The ribs were delicious and the cheerwine links were a good balance of sweet and spicy. If the brisket send pork fried rice is available, GET IT!!! There's a nice balance of sweet and salty of the fried rice with delicious pieces of brisket. It's even better the next day The Jon B's team is also great! They're so friendly and check-in to make sure you're enjoying the food. You can feel the love and passion from everyone. read more

We finally made it out to Jon G's BBQ a couple weeks ago when we didn't have anything going on. Yes, it was a drive out from Charlotte. Yes, there is a long wait - if you get there at 9:30 when the first person usually gets in line, you are waiting until they open. If you get there a little before they open, there will be a long wait as well as the line moves very slowly. I'm not the kind of person that wants to wait a couple hours in line for BBQ, so this will not be a regular thing for us, but it was worth it for trying it. The Great: Brisket - everyone is right, this is easily the winner here and probably the best brisket I have had. Ribs - not my favorite, but still very good here. Jalapeno and Cheesy Tex Links - preference goes to the cheesy tex, but both were very tasty and cheesy! Mexican Street Corn - very good Mac and Cheese - not my favorite, but still a fantastic version that I'd get again. Apple Crunch - so good, satisfies my sweet tooth The Meh: Pulled Pork - for whatever reason, Texas and Texas styled BBQ joints have no clue how to do pulled pork. It is was mediocre here and not something I'd get again. Bacon Burnt Ends - I've had them once before at a BBQ joint in Arkansas and fell in love. Here, I just did not enjoy them, they were chewy to me. Cheerwine Link - It wasn't a bad sausage, but nothing stood out about this one. Again, it was worth the drive to check out Jon G's BBQ as it is very good. However, I would not go ranking it as my top BBQ place and would be just as happy going to some of the BBQ places in Charlotte for more convenience. read more

I'm from Houston, Texas and approve. Delicious all around. Bacon ends were the star of the show! Brisket was tender. Even the sides were 10/10 which isn't as common at BBQ spots. Wish the wait was shorter. Arrived at 9am ate at 1:30pm. However, well worth the wait! We kicked back ate kolaches drank free beer. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the outdoors. read more

We've been waiting to visit the actual restaurant for when we had a Saturday to dedicate. We've tried the food truck before and it was good, but actually going to the restaurant blew it out of the water. We brought our chairs and small cooler of beer and got in line before 10am. By 11 everyone was putting their chairs back in their cars and preparing to get into the restaurant. It's not a short wait, but my goodness is it worth it. I also have to give a major shoutout to everyone working there. They are so gracious and polite and are willing to help you out with anything you might need while in line. When we got to the front we ordered basically one of everything! Which resulted in the giant meat platter. Everything was excellent! The brisket rice and beans were my favorite sides, I'm not sure I could pick a favorite meat but the bacon burnt ends on special were like to die for. We're already looking at the calendar to find another day we can come out! read more

If you're ready for a half day BBQ 'experience' I highly recommend you NOT pass up Jon G's! Get there early bring a chair, umbrella, a few games/cards or grab some friends for company -- shoot, you may actually meet some new friends in line! I wasn't expecting this kind of a wait when I went so I was not fully prepared and was starving! Admittedly it was a last minute decision and we arrived after 11am and did not make it to the door until close to 3:30-4pm! Jon was very friendly and lets people know what is still available every few hours. We were there for the brisket and he let us know it was going to be close. Thankfully there was plenty!

But traveling through four hours from home tried to ask the lady at the front door if you can order stuff to go as I was not looking to sit inside, but did not speak much English. The reviews and the food look and sound good but more of a atmosphere tailgating hang out all day if you have nothing to do spot for some barbecue. . Passed by at 8 o'clock and there was a line and came back by through at 1 o'clock, and the line was even longer. read more

After seeing so many people rave about this place on Instagram, I really wanted to try it. Unfortunately, I missed my chance to try it on the food truck in Charlotte. Right now during Covid-19, they are doing curbside pickup every other Saturday in Peachland, NC. If you don't know where that is, you aren't alone. It's off of US-74 about 45-60 minutes away from Charlotte. Am I crazy for driving an hour to get some BBQ? Maybe. It was worth it though (and what else do I have to do right now?). We ordered brisket, pulled pork, a jalepeño cheddar sausage, mac and cheese, and apple crunch. The meat was by the half pound (except the sausage link) and the sides were by the pint. The side portion was huge. Each meat was served with either pickles or pickled onions which I loved. They also gave us a bun and a piece of white bread (the white bread was an interesting choice haha). The brisket was to die for. They let you pick fatty or lean--obviously we got fatty. I love that they let you pick because this made it so much more delicious than chancing it and getting lean. The jalepeño cheddar sausage link was amazing. I'm not a huge sausage person but this was different. So good. I would skip the pulled pork next time and get more of the sausage and brisket. It was ok, but it was kind of dry. I loved the mac and cheese. I ate all of it even though it was a ton because it was so good. The apple crunch was also very good. As far as sauce, they gave us two of their tomato based sauces and a vinegar one. Both were good, but the vinegar one was my preference. It's quite a drive to get there, but I'm glad we went. I hope the truck still comes back to Charlotte in the future so that I don't have to drive so far to get it. read more
