Walking in the smell of BBQ hits like a roadside stand in the middle of no where. The place is clean and wasn't real busy on a Friday afternoon. The waitress was really friendly. We tried the 1/4 lb platter. With fries and potato salad. The pulled pork was amazing. Great flavor and very tender. The smoked sausage was as good as any smoked sausage I have had in upstate NY. The chicken was also very tender and had a good smoked flavor. The ribs had a lot of flavor and were not over cooked like some places do. The brisket.... Was brisket.... Maybe it wasn't made today which is fine. It tasted more like a roast than a brisket. My wife and I differ on our opinions of BBQ houses. I like to try the meats before I put any sauce on. My wife like it covered beforehand. This place doesn't smother it but does put it on before I got a chance to try the meats. The potato salad was ok but not bursting in flavor. The pieces in it are cut fairly large. It was ok. Fries are fries. A little over salted. But they did have malt vinegar. We might try this place again. read more

Slammin Jammin BBQ - 1/4 Lb with (2)Small Sides - Barbeque Near Me - Corning, New York

Stopped by for dinner after a day in/around Corning. Were able to sit at a table on the top (3rd) level, which was nice and quiet. Our server was very nice & attentive as well. Ordered some corn nuggets to share, and then our entrees. My pulled pork on my sandwich was perhaps a bit fatty for my liking, but otherwise had a bit of smoke to it... and a little bit of bark on the ends. Probably could have used more sauce though. Service, food, and overall ambience were all fine... no complaints, but the place is very no frills. I wouldn't necessarily make a special point to visit again, but it was an easy option and I'd be willing to try a couple other options on the menu. read more

This small place is the bomb. The museum staff highly recommended it and we were please. We were there for lunch, so the street parking was mostly occupied. Going around behind the place is a paid lot where I found a shaded spot ($0.78 for 90 minutes). Food, good selection of bbq and appropriate sides. Texas twinkies were perfect. Shelley was our waitress and did a nice job providing service while still working the bar. Rustic atmosphere and not too loud during lunch so we could talk while waiting for the food to arrive. We'll be back when in town again. read more

I was not happy with the food here. I ordered pork ribs and brisket. The brisket was nasty: grayish, and unpleasantly fatty. (It's supposed to be fatty, but not like how it was.) I wondered if it had really been barbecued. I didn't finish it. The ribs were okay, but not enough to make up for the brisket. The only part of the meal I really liked was the broccoli, which had been cooked with bacon. The plate below, with ¼ pound each of ribs and brisket, cole slaw, small corn muffin, and broccoli, was $47 including tax and tip. Price, service, and atmosphere were all acceptable, I have no complaints there. But the food was not good enough to bring me back. read more

The food was amazing! The sliced brisket was tender and with enough smoky flavor, not too less, not too much. The sides surprised me the most, I've never had such flavorful broccoli and green beans before. The steak my friend ordered was juicy and tender with nice flavor! I will definitely come back if I visit Corning again. read more

This was our choice for dinner one night while in Corning ny. BBQ sounded good. The aroma of smoke was in the air. Nicely preparing our appetite. Nice little place. Decor was definitely rustic. Think taxidermy. And Wild West. Pretty cool stuff. We decided to have some local drafts. IPA and a Shriners bock. Menu was loaded with a ton of choices and combinations. We split an order of Texas twinkles. ( brisket & cheese stuffed jalapeño peppers wrapped in bacon with sour cream dip. Omg yum yum yum. We went with 2 meats and 2sides I had the best brisket I've ever had moist and tender generous portion. And fall the bone mouth watering ribs. A+. Sides were Mac salad and classic Cole slaw. With a piece of garlic toast. My goodness best decision we made that evening was to stop by this bbq joint super service. Friendly chef. Wonderful. Highly recommended read more

The smell got us when walking main st. Went in around lunch time, zero wait. Food was juicy and very flavorful. Not too smoky and great amount of rub. Sauces were delicious as well. Brisket was a great idea to have and would go back for sure. read more

Great food and friendly service. There is another BBQ place right down the street, but why go there? We ordered the Pulled pork sandwich and loved them read more

The sides are what stood out at this place. I really enjoyed the baked beans and one of my friends raved about the green beans. The brisket was overcooked for me personally, but still flavorful. Corn bread was very bland. Service was great though and we did come in close to close on a weekday so maybe that's why the brisket was dry. While not impressed, I'd still give this place another shot. read more

Nice little place on Market St in Corning. Service was friendly all the servers were helpful and so nice...but maybe a little overworked? It seemed like most of them were running up and down the stairs (there are two floors) and so, at times a little salute to get to the table. The food was good...but we've been spoiled by our own local bbq place! Meats could have been smoked a little longer. Cole slaw was delicious!! The fries are good...I suspect made from fresh potatoes but were very dark. Probably from the starch?? Anyway, really ok place to go but they do have the potential to be much better. read more

Slammin Jammin BBQ - Sliced Brisket Plate - Barbeque Near Me - Corning, New York

Walked here from my hotel. Super friendly staff. First thing I did was ask if they could put the TV on football game--and they did! I asked for a combo that was not on the menu and they had no problem with my request. Brisket was beefy and smokey, jalapeño poppers "twinkies" were great, and BBQ sauce was REALLY great (especially the spicy one). Super casual, country music playing, I'll be back! read more

Outstanding brisket and sides were very good, lovely chicken; brewed iced tea and great service w bathroom I could use with walker...highly recommend as it was up to Texas standards. I rarely give 5s. read more

Catered to our State Farm office in Coralville. Everything was amazing from the Mac and Cheese to the Chicken and bread. Food was still fresh even though we couldn't get to it right away. Aleka and Frank really spoiled us! They definitely found them some new customers!! read more

Although I reviewed this in Feb. 2023 it was before they did a complete remodel. Now it is cleaner, fresher and more appealing than ever. We still consider it one of the best places for chicken barbeque. The food is always excellent, hot and fresh. Love their fries with skin on them, the baked beans are one of my favorites and my husband loves their ribs. Awesome! read more

Me my sister went none of food was cooked my wings were pink in the middle ribs were not cooked in inside but outside was crunchy. Charged us a full meal for ribs when we never asked for meal. Food was awful!!! I should have walked over to Aniello's instead!!! And I don't do reviews on places but this was bad so I had to let others know ! Never again!! read more

I came here for lunch on a Thursday. I got a lunch plate to go. The lunch plate came with my choice of protein (chopped brisket) on top of a sad wilted lettuce, a side of choice (potato salad) and a soft drink of choice. The brisket itself was good. Great flavor with a nice mixture of fat and burnt ends topped with some well seasoned barbecue sauce. The portion was fairly small though especially for the hefty cost of 15 dollars (including tax). The potato salad had a great flavor and was nicely portioned. Though flavor was nice the cost with the small amount of food you get just unfortunately did not feel worth it. read more

Slammin Jammin BBQ - Lunch plate: chopped brisket and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Corning, New York

We stopped by here after a visit to the museum and were happily surprised not only by the prices and portions, but also the quality of food. The decorations of the restaurant totally fit the vibe of the food and everything we ordered we would get again. Definitely some great authentic Texas style BBQ. The meats that were smoked were perfectly flavored without overwhelming the flavor of the sauce, from what we could taste there was no artificial smoke. Service was great and can't complain about the close parking! Must try! We tried the following: -dozen smoked wings with medium Buffalo sauce. These were perfectly crispy without being dry, the smoky flavor was great but not overwhelming. Some of the best wings I've had! Pairs well with the ranch and blue cheese -3 item combo plate. Definitely a lot of food but good to share and try a bit of everything. Sausage had a good crisp bite to it and well seasoned, the ribs nice and tender with a good crust to them, and the brisket (sliced) was beautifully tender. Fries, garlic Texas toast, and side salad also very tasty. -Plain burger with fries and side salad very tasty as well (not pictured) and fluffy bun -Pulled pork sandwich with fries also very tasty and juicy. The bun it came on was really fluffy too (not pictured read more

I'm going to go with two stars because the waitress was awesome, she was very polite attentive & understanding. Upon entering I noticed there weren't any customers in the restaurant, despite there being no parking spaces available on the street out front. (There's metered parking behind the restaurant, free on the weekends) I thought the restaurant was going to be packed, but not. The menu did not display prices for the items, you had to use your scanner to bring up a separate menu for prices, on that menu it shows there are two prices for each dish, a cash price and an increased card price, I'm not sure if each individual dish has the up charge or is it just a one time up charge on your entire tab. I did end up leaving the restaurant without finishing my meal because the smoked wings I ordered had what I believed to be a spoiled odor once I've bitten into it, they also was too pink on the inside for my liking, which I was told that's how they look once they are smoked, the french fries were soaked in oil (as you can see in the picture), I apologized to the waitress & left a few $$ for the trouble but I just could not continue with the undesirable meal. Instead, I went down the street to another barbecue joint (see review) read more

Slammin Jammin BBQ - Chicken wing ribs & fries - Barbeque Near Me - Corning, New York

We started with an order of hushpuppies to share and ended up deciding to share a Two-Meat Combo platter for our lunch. We chose the the chicken and chopped brisket as our proteins. Sliced Brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and ribs were also options. For sides, we went with coleslaw and baked beans. Other options included potato salad, mac salad, tossed salad, fresh cut fries, or veggie of the day. Finally, there was a choice of bread. We went with the Garlic Texas Toast but also ordered two corn muffins on the side. Looking back at their website, I see that there was also a choice of a few different BBQ sauces which we didn't notice at the time. I would assume that the default sauce we received on our meal and was available on the table was the Sweet BBQ. If you prefer more heat than sweet, it appears that was an option. The meat was tender and the sides were really at the top of their class. Both my partner and I are picky coleslaw and we both were pleased with the cut on the cabbage, the amount of dressing, and crunch factor. But the beans were wow! I think this is one of the really fun things with food. When you're sure you've tasted the best and then someone/someplace comes along and tops that! There was pork in these, but that's common. I couldn't figure out what else made these so special both in flavor and viscosity. Maybe molasses? If anyone has a great recipe for homemade baked beans, please share in the comments. I'm going to be trying to figure this one out! Obviously, we would definitely eat here again. read more

Very disappointing: after rave reviews and recommendations from local folks, I expected better. The ribs were a bright spot, and everybody but me seemed to think the baked beans were noteworthy, but let's be honest, folks. The pulled port was dried out and tasteless, and the brisket was dry and overdone. Most of these two items got left on the plate. People *did* like the green beans and onions cooked in bacon grease, though, which included lots of bacon. Neither of the two BBQ sauces -- sweet and chipotle -- was worth eating, IMO, and neither had any kick at all. I ate half of a small corn muffin that seemed to have bee re-heated in the microwave. Also, the beer on tap (it was a bock) was flat. If you've every eaten BBQ in Texas or have a good BBQ joint from any region near home, my advice is: go across the street for pizza. read more

Best BBQ north of the Mason-Dixon line! Friendly staff. very pleasant dining experience. read more

Have been there twice and certainly not the best bbq but not all bad. The biggest problem IMO is the meat tastes like it has been held for a long time. It is dry and the brisket is overcooked. The sauce is nothing special. They seem have potential but need to make a few changes to really improve the meat, which is why people go to bbq. Their tap system needs a good servicing as well the beer was cold but had a metallic aftertaste. Sides are pretty good as is the service. The place looks decent enough and seems clean. I think with a few changes they could really improve their product. read more

We were really excited to find a standalone barbecue restaurant on the main strip in town, while visiting for a wedding. Walked up and down the strip to consider all places available and chose this establishment. Unfortunately, after waiting an hour, we had not yet received our food. Was told 3X "your food will be right up" for at least 10-15 minutes. Only got to try the meal after a 30 minute ride back to the airport to drop off the rental car; half cold and soggy - super upsetting after all the waiting. For BBQ, I generally expect cool times under 45 mins. It was a pretty normal Sunday afternoon; not overflowing or that busy. Next time, a warning about 45+ wait times after ordering would be a nice courtesy. Rating 2/5* because the cold food wasn't horrible tasting. Slow kitchen, careless servers, and management who thinks it's appropriate to bill us for 2 fountain drinks, after the hour wait. Thanks! read more

So, I already had speculations at this place. We came in during Sparkle 2021 and it was a decent 15-20 minute wait. However, during the wait once we were called it was another 20 minutes to be seated. My friend ordered a side salad with ranch dressing, and they never gave him dressing! Also, the ginger ale tastes like soap. The sodas are all flat. They gave us our orders and forgot to add the coleslaw to the chefs special sandwich. They also forgot I too ordered food. I understand understaffed, but this is sketchy. Food was greasy, chicken tenders were burnt & the chefs special had no flavor & the bread was so greasy! I'm sad; I wanted to like this place being from TX originally. The staff was also very rude. My friend got food poisoning - avoid! read more

Food was pretty good and the service was quick. We got some wings which were really good and I got a chicken sandwich which I actually really liked the meat it was thinly sliced and very good. Fries were good. My bf got the chefs special sandwich was a mixture of meats and he said it was just okay. He did enjoy the baked beans but we've both had better corn bread. Very Western saloon decor I felt. There was a few tables downstairs where we were and it looked like there was an upstairs as well. It was on a cute little strip and there was a good amount of street parking. I'd say it was just good and not sure if we would stop again but wouldn't be opposed. read more

Me and my Bf stopped here on our road trip, randomly found this spot . We ordered the full rack of ribs, Mac and cheese, loaded French fries with brisket . All was really good ! Mac and cheese was white, expected more home style . Staff was friendly. Sweet tea with vodka wasn't what I expected . Really watery and not sweet but overall good experience cute town read more

Great experience. We got the sliced brisket which had less fat than the chopped brisket. It was super fresh and delicious. I love cole slaw- this was good but very Mayo-y Broiled veggies with garlic butter sauce was AWESOME and my husband thought the baked beans were great Huge portions So fresh Def a winner! read more

Myself and my girlfriend could not have had a better experience here. The prices were on point the food was overflowing! The quality was excellent. The place had a great environment. We went last Saturday right at lunchtime and it wasn't too packed there was plenty of room for everyone in the restaurant. The restaurant is divided in a nice way so that the tables feel more private even though they have plenty of seating. I was very impressed with this restaurant. It is hard to find a good quality barbecue restaurant in New York State and this one definitely met the standard. read more

Food: 5 Stars out of 5. The Southern Tier lacks very good TX-style BBQ. Slammin Jammin delivers! The owners are from TX, and it shows. Besides the pulled meats, enjoy the brisket and sausage - I do! The sides are delicious, too. I especially enjoy the macaroni and potato salads. The cornbread is also delicious. One of my favorites in Corning! Service: a very friendly staff that dotes on people of all ages, and I get my food in a very timely manner. A place where they say "howdy" and remember your name. Ambiance: plenty of seating on several floors in the building. The building is unique. You get to listen to Country music 99% of the time. Overall: two very enthusiastic thumbs-up!

Saucy waitress in a half busy Saturday. It's a sweet little walk from the Rockwell Museum. Wings spicy BBQ crispy and well sauced.

They were pretty busy with only one server who maintained a pleasant disposition the whole time. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet. The food is so spot on it's not even funny. The sides are included in this assessment. The only thing just as notable is the service and staff. For some reason, I tend to feel out of place at a BBQ restaurant. However, the staff here is friendly and welcoming, and I can't say enough about that. Overall, if you like really good BBQ, you need to eat here. read more

Had lunch as usual when in town working. Great barbecue. Service is always efficient and friendly. Would recommend Slammin Jammin to anyone. Thank you for a quality establishment. read more

Great place! Cozy bar with awesome staff! Grabbed some smoked prime rib on my way through and it was delicious

Awesome! This is as close to TX BBQ as I can find nearby. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered: ribs, sliced brisket, Mac salad, potato salad, pound cake and sweet tea. I am SO HAPPY they actually have sweet tea instead of giving me sugar packets. THAT'S TEXAS!! I liked both the sweet and spicy bbq sauces. It's nice to have both options. Sides were good, mac salad coulda used a little salt to bring the sweetness down a little, but still very yummy. No a fan of the cornbread but I'll opt for TX toast next time. I also prefer my meats to be smoked a little longer, but this was good enough for me! The grilled pound cake was simple and excellent - and for $1? LOVE THAT!! It took a while to get our food but we had a good experience overall. I wish I got our server's name. She was delightful. And the decor feels like home. We will definitely be coming back!!! read more

After a long day in Finger Lakes area, we were looking for a good dinner spot...We came across Slammin' Jammin' BBQ. We got to meet the owners while we were there. They are really nice people who spent time to make sure we had everything we needed, told us their story and we saw their featured article on the wall. Everything we ordered was great - ribs, cole slaw, brisket....couldn't go wrong with anything we ordered. Not a very big place so we split up our group of 7 people to 2 seating areas. We highly recommend! We'll be back! read more

Service was good. And if you've read my other reviews, you know it's a problem when the first thing I say is that the service was good, because it means I don't have a lot good to say about the food. Food was mixed. Ribs were excellent. Pulled pork was dry (!), as if it had been sitting under the heat lamps too long. Vegetables...look, I know it's a BBQ place, but it's not like you have to publish people for eating vegetables. You don't have to cook broccoli until it's mush (yet somehow burned as well). And the "slammin salad"? For 10.95 you get what most other restaurants would call a dinner salad, an accompaniment to a meal. We also got charged for corn muffins we didn't get. Overcooked pulled pork read more

Was told it was a 15 minute wait, but they must have forgotten about us because we waited 2 hours. Our waitress claimed to be cleaning the table, but it was dirty when we got to it. My friend ordered a salad as an appetizer to which they forgot his dressing; and never brought it. My sandwich was also made incorrectly. Fries and chicken were also very burnt. Please if you care about your insides, stay away from here. My friend and I got food poisoning. I love Corning, but I'll dodge this place any day. Please don't go here read more
