    Fat cap on sliced brisket
    Ethan S.

    Came here lunch time on Saturday. Ordered 3 meat plate with Cole slaw and green beans. Children had chopped brisket and mac and cheese. The 3 meats I got were: Sliced brisket - Came with two slices. One slice was fine, the other slice was just of the fat cap of the brisket. Was a shame. 3 out of 5 stars. Pulled Pork - was dry and under seasoned, it had a nice crust though. 2 out of 5. Rib - The Ribs were good. I enjoyed the meat ratio on them. And the flavor was nice. 4 out of 5. Cole slaw - taste was good, I enjoy a vinegar based slaw. Green Beans - were sweet, almost as if maple syrup and brown sugar were ingredients. Just not what you'd expect. My daughter's chopped brisket was too spicy for her to eat. I feel that for children's you would have something less spicy. The staff is helpful and pleasant. Ownership so kind. Restaurant clean and tidy.

    Ordered take out from here and the food was good. The service was good too. Brisket bombs were out of this world. Every was seasoned well and tender as can be. The kids loved the Mac. We even had an Oreo and cream pie slice. Everything was a hit with us. The decor inside definitely gives the Texas bbq feel. Looking forward to being able to dine in soon.

    The food definitely I love , the staff is very friendly and feel like home. I live at Houston but definitely I back here.

I could just be really hungry but this was the best one I have had. The meat was perfectly cut and everything was balanced well with toppings. My kids sandwiches were just how I wanted them as well. And if you have kids you know they are so picky! I will definitely be coming back and hopefully these girls will be there to make them! Well done Jersey Mikes

    Let's start by saying I LOVE Jersey Mikes! However, I have been repeatedly disgusted by the lack…read moreof cleanliness during the sandwich prep and now the whole restaurant experience. Twice I have witnessed the same worker use her DIRTY gloves to make sandwiches. Once you use your gloves to do anything other than putting sandwiches together, you need to get new gloves. Don't use your gloves to "clean up" around your workspace and then use those same gloves to make the sandwiches. Don't have gloves on while using a dirty towel to "clean up" around your workspace and then not get new gloves before you continue to make sandwhiches. But the latest issue was last night when a young teenage worker used his towel to clean the tables, then he bent down and wiped a huge portion the FLOOR with the towel, and then he continued to wipe the table with that same towel! Are these kids raised in a barn? Is there no training as to keeping things sanitary when it comes to food service? Jersey Mikes - DO BETTER!

Don't…read morebother trying to come Monday through Friday unless you want to be disappointed, because seriously - they are closed. If you plan it right, you won't be disappointed. If they have the smoked turkey, get it. Hands down some of the best smoked turkey you'll ever eat. We've been a few times when they were plum out (which was highly disappointing and we almost walked away), but even without it, the brisket, fall of the bone ribs, and jalapeño cheese sausage and everything else on the menu does not disappoint. Prices are reasonable, portions are good, and the sides are all crowd-pleasers. It's a food truck with outdoor seating, so on rainy days you'll want to plan on taking it to go. There are a covered picnic areas, but either way, the food is absolutely worth it. Golly, today- free Lonestar on standby while waited :) iykyk - thank you kindly & and see you next week

The brisket was excellent--nicely cooked, very tender, and full of great flavor with a nice, clean bark. They did a fantastic job with it. The pulled pork was another highlight. It was incredibly juicy with a perfect flavor profile, and the amount of sauce and spice was just right. The ribs were also delicious--a flavorful spare rib with a perfect pull from the bone. For the sides, the cornbread casserole was a hit. It had a wonderful consistency, balancing the corn and the breading perfectly. The coleslaw was also great, with a nice, light flavor and the perfect amount of vinegar. In short, my body might be begging for a salad, but my soul is singing the praises of Jennings BBQ. It's a definite standout and well worth the trip.
