J&J BBQ

Long lines but moved quickly and food came out fast & fresh!! Large portions at great prices. Loved the regular and Carolina BBQ sauces on the table. Wanted ice cream but was so full I couldn't do it (and that's with 1/2 my wrap to take home). Also liked the cooler of soda pop options to accompany the lunch. Well done!!

We have been slowly working our way through the menu... about four visits a month -- yes, it's THAT good.  The Rib & Brisket combo is the obvious choice for those who can't decide.  Both are excellent. Better than even expected.  The smoked chicken is great, the brisket wrap is stuffed full of meat and cheddar cheese... but our newest addiction is the Saturday night special - the Brisket Burger. TWO third pound hamburger patties, wonderful-smokey brisket, and real cheddar cheese on a grilled roll.  Between licking the juice drops off your arm, you will thank me for this recommendation!  This giant burger with your choice of sides (awesome fries, as-good-as-mom's-potato salad, meaty baked beans, or cole slaw) for under $9 -- it feels like you're stealing from them.  Jim and Laura are the nicest owners around, it's a great little restaurant filled to overflowing with knick-knacks and antiques.  There's always something new to see.  No matter how hard it is, save room for ice cream.  You do not want to miss Tim's small-batch, locally made ice cream.  Just walk in, go up to the counter and order the Brisket Burger and a single scoop Macinac Fudge cone -- seriously, you will STUFF yourself with GOODNESS for about $11.  We're SO glad we found this place!

THE REAL DEAL. The ribs are all we tried, but they don't need sauce. They were perfectly smoked to a lovely pink, the meat came off the bone very nicely (not falling off, but not stuck either) and they were SO tasty! Baked beans and potato salad were top notch, too. It's all homemade here...
I will purposely look for this place every time we come back to the area!
