Jd's Bbq

The gentleman from the hotel recommended us to have dinner here when we asked for suggestion. So we went there. I ordered two meats meal with brisket and ribs. They might look dry in the picture but they actually were so tender and moist. I love the brisket but I love the ribs more. The meat of ribs was so tasty even without bbq sauce. I also like the mashed sweet potato side. The service was good as well. I will go there again if I have chance to travel there.

Service was good. We were very surprised after reading good reviews. The ambience was primative and speculated on how well it was kept up. 3 of us had pasta served in a small bowl. Hardly any chicken in the pasta dish. Two of the bread sticks were burnt. We had two kids meals and adult had a hamburger; 2 beers. Our bill came to over $110. We were very disappointed.

If you NEVER eat bbq you might like this place. If you cook ribs, burgers, and brisket at home, you'll hate it. We ordered the brisket sandwich, brisket plate, buffalo chicken sandwich, and pulled pork sandwich. Corn bread was good, not great but not bad. Fries and onion rings were great. Gluten free bun was delicious. Pulled pork was dry as sawdust. Even soaked with bbq sauce and salt it was tough to eat. Brisket was very dry. Seemed more like a bad roast than brisket. The burnt ends were hard, crunchy and inedible. Which is disappointing, the ends are usually the best part. Smoke flavor is there but when drowned in sauce it completely disappears. If the meat was seasoned at all we could not taste it. The chicken sandwich was sent back. It tasted like high school cafeteria food to me. My son who ordered it thought it tasted like it came from the Costco freezer section. Garlic mashed potatoes were dry and not very garlicky. Edible but not great. For $16 a plate we felt swindled. Great atmosphere, Brooke O. was our server she was awesome but the food was a complete let down. It must survive from drunk college kids who thrive on the ambience and disregard the poor food. If you want good bbq you need to look elsewhere.

Cool atmosphere, good food. A little spendy, but portions were big. A peanut shells on the floor kind of place. The only downfall was no refills on the drinks... water and a soda, and we only got one glass. I would go back after checking out other barbecue places. Not from the area, so I'm not sure what else is out there.
