We were ready to give up when Lively's popped up in the search . What a wonderful end for the search! The line at the drive through was long and we saw that as a good sign. Inside was a typical southern BBQ place which left us even more hopeful. The food was over the top wonderful! My grandson loved Brunswick stew and I am the biggest fan of ribs . He had the pulled pork sandwich with stew and I had a rib sandwich and we were both genuinely impressed! The portions were generous and the price was fair and the taste was excellent ! Everyone behind the counter was friendly ,fast and efficient. My grandson's exact words were " I am giving this experience a 10 out of 10." I'm in agreement with him .

Next we decided just to order a meat lovers pizza to share. there may have been 20 pieces of pepperoni on the whole pizza, and maybe ten half sliced pieces of sausage. no other meat. very sad, limp, a dot of color here and there pizza crust. most def not a wood fired, or almost any kind of oven pizza, unless the oven was a easy bake. must be a bland food curse on the building. crossed my fingers that they weren't like the last restaurant at this location big sad yes

I get excited going to smaller cities because you can frequently stumble across hole in the wall spots that are delicious. I was more than disappointed here. I ordered the country fried steak and gravy special. It came out hot, but could tell instantly it was frozen food thawed. It was! And it wasn't even a high quality frozen patty. It had gristles throughout it. The potatoes were covered with the white gravy also, which helped hide the taste. Not sure if they were prepackaged potatoes because of the gravy. And who on their right mind puts white gravy on country fried steak??? The cornbread was more of a corn cake and it was bland. The baked beans were the highlight, but not that they were super good or anything, just better than the rest. I have two stars because the service really was good and friendly. Oh, and there was a massive big dead bug right beside my table. I guess the food killed it.

From the outside to the inside, it is a fairly classic countryside establishment that has a homey feel to it and a welcoming, yet confusing to outsiders atmosphere. All the classics are here: pulled pork, baked beans, fried okra, potato salad. Walking in, the couple resident guests who likely consider themselves part owners give the stare down, in the same fashion that they do for their cat when it drags in a rattlesnake into the house. Asking if the sauce comes on top or side of the pulled park, the waitress pleasantly informs that the chef does either depending on the day, thus going back to check what kind of mood they are in today. Yeah, it's that kind of a joint and there is nothing wrong with it. It is a different world than the city that's a mere half hour away. As far as the meal, the pulled pork is all-right. A bit dry, not particularly fresh, but standard mass produced pork. The okra is excellent. The potato salad is very vinegar centric, to a degree that made it a bit hard to actually finish, but could be of flavor for some. With all of that said, Jones BBQ is still a much better option than the fast food options in town and worth a stopover if passing through Temple. It's a simple place, with homey food and represents the place where it is.
