    Best chicken I have ever eaten. Prefect combination a juicy, steamy, and crusty. Love the chicken and the fries.

    Amazing chicken. Unlike anything else you'll have. Clear that they take the time to make everything of the highest quality.

    8-24-2025 We got the sampler, all very good and the sauces…read morewere tasty. The mustard based sauce was our favorite. Potato salad was good, bean just ok. Returned to order in bulk for our book club!

    so many good barbecue spots in Toledo, and this just isn't one of them…read more They do have a pretty phenomenal sandwich... " more cowbell" But they were out of so much on a Sunday at 6 PM First of all, checked my gift card before I came into the store and had a $25 balance. When I get inside, it is packed, and guy working the register can't seem to get it to work so I just decided to pay. I ordered ribs, they're out! I ordered chicken... Out of that too. I ended up getting a sandwich. I would've never ordered Pryor, but I am glad I did. You can tell they were out of a lot of meats, because the baked beans I got were pretty much a bunch of beans, floating and barbecue sauce and not even very many beans at all The mac & cheese was decent, but nothing to write home about. I had to add a decent amount of salt and pepper. But waiting in line for 20 minutes for quick order food just to find out almost all of it was gone is a bit ridiculous It's pretty unorganized and chaotic The condiment station look like it has been ransacked, so I ended up for going any pickles or onions due to fear of some weird foodborne illness The whole experience is just a bit lacking. I can pay less money and go down the street and be waited on and have a cleaner atmosphere.

    Great overall…read more Always consistent. Always good BBQ. Friendly staff. Will be returning.

    We've been here a total of two times - 1 time for carryout 1-2 yrs ago and today for dine-in. I…read moredon't remember much about our carryout experience, but I can say with confidence we won't be back after our dine-in experience today. The food was fine. We ordered fried pickles for our appetizer and that came out within 10-15 min of us being seated. They were hot, delicious and the sauce they came with was pretty tangy and tasty. No complaints. We placed our meal order at the same time as the appetizer, but waited 20-30 min for our food to come out. We ordered Cuban and BBQ Chicken sandwiches. Our waitress came by once during that wait and told us our food would be out shortly but never gave a reason for the delay. I was irritated when the couple behind us - who were seated well after us - received their meals 10-15 min before ours came out. Our waitress was very chummy, attentive and friendly with them and barely checked in with us. Definitely didn't receive the same service. Unfortunately her tip reflected that. Our food was good. BBQ chicken sandwich was good. Needed more sauce but I asked for a side. Cuban was fine. Needed a sauce too but I used the sauce that came with the fried pickles. Fries were delicious and hot. Some of the onion rings were strange. The smaller ones mostly. They weren't even warm and had a chewy consistency. It was weird. As far as the atmosphere? Ugh. That alone killed it for me. 1) it's so dark in there. The dark floors...the dark ceilings...and all that dark wood! All that darkness paired with the depressing country music playing had me wanting to take myself out. Maybe it's good if you're there to drink your sorrows away and whatever teardrops they were singing about, but I found it irritating and agitating. BBQ isn't strictly country music - it can be blues too.

    Wow! Passing by at…read moredinner time and saw the pepper steak special on their billboard, so we stopped in. The manager met us and told us he was short on staff, but he would be happy to seat us if we wanted to dine in. It was a completely on the fly accommodation, and was very much appreciated. The restaurant was spotless with a "warm", friendly atmosphere. I had the pepper steak I was after and the Mrs. had the meatloaf. The first bite of my dish stopped me in my tracks, it tasted exactly like my grandfathers recipe. The flavor was completely perfect. And the rice peppers and sauce melted together with the flank cuts, which were tender and popping with flavor on every bite. It came with a balanced cornbread muffin to help shovel the happy goodness onto my fork. And the portion size, well. I usually clean my plate, but not tonight 3/4 of the way in I had to call it because I was absolutely stuffed. The Mrs. meatloaf was tender and moist and packed with flavor too. She ordered the ketchup glaze with it which was good, but was a little too sweet for my taste. Her dish came with three sides, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, and green beans. It's kind of hard to screw those up, and it's just as hard to make them stellar too. And that's just what they were, superbly stellar! There was a definite note of love and pride in the cooking. I can't believe I've overlooked J Mae's for so long. I will be going back again and again to sample all of their awesome menu.

    Some of the best soul food in Toledo they have a little something for everyone great tasting…read moredesserts as well.
