OMG! We ate waaaaay too much!!!…read more Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. There were 7 of us but ordered for 14!! What were we thinking ??? So, all main entrees were quite good: ribs and brisket were incredibly tender, catfish was nice and crisp, chicken fell off the bone, and the chicken fried chicken was delicious. We also ordered the steak fingers as an appetizer. They tasted good but should have been crispier. Had the sampler which consisted of fried pickle spears (highly recommend) fried mushrooms (honestly tasted like they came pre-packaged and corn nuggets (also quite good). Sides were what took this review to a 4 star: Mac and cheese (way too dry), coleslaw (have had better) and the green beans ( too mushy- definitely canned beans) were nothing to brag about. Our waitperson, Barbara, was quite entertaining and I must add that she was quite efficient. She's apparently worked for the owner for 22 years (of and on). The owner was at the restaurant and made it a point to ask if we enjoyed our meals. Nice touch. We ended our experience with their desserts, all made by the co-owner. EVERY.SINGLE.DESSERT.WAS.DELICIOUS.PERIOD! In a nutshell, we enjoyed our Texas sized lunch at J&M Hill Country BBQ.

What has happened to these people? I used to order ribs and brisket and loved it, so I did again…read more The ribs were dry and perhaps overcooked. The brisket was the consistency of oatmeal. Seriously. What happened? New management? New cook? I ordered for delivery. The only thing that went wrong was the food. I'm not going back. I forgot to tell you about the cherry cobbler. It was so tart (sour) that I couldn't eat it. I threw it out after one bite. Horrible!

Not all Texas BBQ is equal…read more... Well let me start with the good..... Brisket was good and the young server was nice. And all the staff seemed very polite ......seems to be very supportive of the military! as for the not so good.....certainly not worth the drive out....the sides were a hit or miss.... Potato salad tasted like it was out of a container, Mac and cheese was a little bland and watery...pinto beans had absolutely no flavor and had large red kidney beans mixed in...the smoked chicken, sausage and rib had little flavor.... Definitely needed the sauce to give it any flavor.... The thing that bothered me most about this place was what I observed with another family who had what looked to be a 3 year old who was completely passed Out in his mothers arms .... She asked to sit in one of the many open booths presumably so she could allow her son to lay next to her and rest his head on her lap while he slept.....She was told she could not sit in any of those booths because it was not that servers turn to get a table.... Had it been me I would have walked out......I watched as she sat at a table holding her sleeping son and tried to eat her dinner.... I felt so bad for her.... So needless to say don't think we'll be back.... I hope they make some changes or that this was a very off day for them..... We were there about 545 on Sunday......

This is a good place for your basic BBQ. I like lists so let's make some lists:…read morePros: -Quick service -Good price (about $8-9 for a plate, no drink) -Easy to find -Friendly -Homemade beans and potato salad Cons: -Brisket was a little too fatty -Chicken and brisket had a good smoke to them but not much flavor past that. I liked the potato salad because it was really different from any other I've had but I think others may not like it so much. Do give it a try because you might love it! I would really like to give 3.5 stars for this place but that's not possible on Yelp. Info you need to know: -No indoor seating (just a bench outside) so plan on taking this home. -No credit cards! They only take cash. -Central Ave is a one-way street. -There is one man who works here so I would not suggest large groups. If he isn't in, check the store next door. -They close at 5 so try this place for lunch, not dinner.

It's because of this place that I had a taste for pot roast, Mississippi pot roast to be exact. The…read moreonly thing is they only have the Mississippi pot roast on Thursdays. I was able to catch them one Thursday and was satisfied with the results! The pot roast comes with mashed potatoes already AND you can I close two more sides. I added the cabbage and Mac & cheese. This was a true southern, home cooked meal! The Mac & cheese was a bit spicy but nothing tht was too unbearable and the pot roast was nice and tender. If there's one thing I've learned from most restaurants here, they give you more than enough food. This plate could have fed two!
