The sides are very simple but they compliment the BBQ. Fried okra was fresh and cooked to perfection. The jalapeño cheese grits are unbelievable and a must try!

Tony ordered 6 Ribs w sides of Baked Beans and Mac n Cheese! I took a bite of each!! They were delicious and homemade but I'm dieting.

First off I attempted to order a half chicken & was told they don't serve them until after 1pm. After 1pm? Lunch is dying off by 1 o'clock, in Texas most BBQ joints sell out by 1 oclock if not you're stuck with whatever is left. Secondly, I ordered Brisket. In Texas we ask "Lean or Fatty" I wasn't asked that here which I thought was odd. So I watched the young lady cut the brisket, there wasn't a drop of juice on the cutting board & she tried to cut off the fat and not offer it to me! WHAT!?!?!? I ordered a half pound of sausage and got some super dry...I don't even know if I'd call it sausage. I will just because I don't want to be disrespectful. But it tasted horrible & no cheese in your sausage? You need a fat in sausage to prevent it from being dry! Also ordered a pint of the Brisket Chili...Such a sad attempt at Chili. Tasted like tomato sauce. Sadly it was the moistest thing I paid for. I'll never go back nor will I ever recommend CJ's. Wow, I'm ashamed.

Fantastic stuff here!! You know how some BBQ places have good BBQ, but the sides underwhelm or the…read morereverse - the sides rock and meat is so-so? This place rocks both!! The meat has amazing flavor, is moist, and just right on tenderness. Clearly visible smoke rings from the massive smoke house building. The ribs cling, but easily pull clean off the bone, and still have texture and body - signs of a true pit master! You seriously don't need any sauce - but all 4 of the house made sauces are full of flavor and perfectly compliment the meats. The sides are equally amazing!! As my companion said "oh yeah, THIS is how southern Mac and Cheese should be!" The baked beans, bbq coleslaw, and baked potato were all fantastic. They make a thick, white, creamy, garlicky, ranch type sauce, called "Shack Sauce" that comes poured over the baked potato. Shack sauce is addictive to be honest. As if the food wasn't enough to make you come back - the people are fantastic too!! This is THE place for legit BBQ in Greenwood!!

I ordered a family meal that included: 1 lb pulled pork 1 lb smoked turkey 1 qt baked beans 1 qt green beans 1 gallon tea 24 count white rolls A bottle of sauce Plus I added a half rack of ribs to my order. All of that came to just over $53. I can't overstate how blown away I was with the flavors in the meat and sides. The quality of cook and smokiness of the meats was top notch. Just as good as the meats, you could tell right away that there are no shortcuts taken on the sides. My only complaint was that I went too late and they were out of brisket. You better believe I'll be going back for some soon. Now I know where to get my BBQ fix in the heart of Greenwood.

You order at the counter and they prepare your food as you are on the other side of the glass. There is one person that does the meat and then the tray gets passed to the next person who gets your sides for you. Then you move to the register where you give your drink order and pay your tab. You are given the option to pay with a card or get a discount for cash. You get your drinks and find a table. As busy as they were, we wondered if we would be able to find a table. There were plenty of they also have some tables outside but it was super hot. I had the pulled pork plate and my son and husband both had the chopped brisket. The pork was good but the brisket was amazing. Brisket is amazing when done right and this was done very right. Full of flavor and moist and juicy. AMAZING. You have three different sauces you can try. They are at the tables. Hot, regular and mustard based. All had great flavor and the hot wasn't real hot. As sides we had the Brunswick stew, Mac and Cheese and cheesy hash browns. The Brunswick stew is less chunky and more fine. The flavor was good. The Mac and cheese was very creamy in a white cheese sauce. It was really good. The hash browns were full of flavor. I would definitely order the Mac and cheese and hashbrowns again but probably would skip the Brunswick stew. Not that it wasn't good. I would just try other menu items first. Just FYI. No alcohol. But you're coming here for the food. You won't even miss having an adult beverage. The tea is freshly brewed and all you need. All three of us left stuffed. I took half of my meal home with me. They definitely give you plenty to eat. We shared a banana pudding at the end because my son wanted to try it. It was very rich and creamy. Not sure if it is available every day because the menu just offers a dessert of the day. Two of us shared it and there was plenty to share. Of course, this was after we each had already eaten our dinners. And we're already stuffed. But the person at the table behind us was raving about how good it was so we couldn't resist. The employees were friendly and they kept the line moving. There were two kind ladies out in the dining area refilling drinks and making sure tables were cleaned as soon as people left. This is the kind of food you dream about after you've been there. So very good. We will definitely be back soon.
