Food was flavorless and dry! Chicken tasted like dish soap. Manager told us to get the “full experience” we should put the sauce on. I had a pork sandwich was like pork crumbles. Manager also only gave 50% off because if he gave more of...Read More

Amazing food! One of the only places in 100 miles that has sweet potato totes! Service was speedy and food was delicious too. Located on the frontage road off of 52, so quick to get to from the highway. I think they might be doing...Read More

Excellent BBQ. Inside the restaurant is a bit loud, but that's part of the charm. Highly recommend the JoJo potatoes and the baked beans. High chairs are available for families with little ones but the bathrooms lack changing tables, so be aware of that if...Read More

Good food with great prices! Had the brisket, okra, baked potato, pulled pork, garlic bread and hot links. The sauce was ok. Not a big fan of vinegar based sauces like Tobasco. To be fair, I only tried the mild and medium. The meat itself...Read More

Yuck. I don’t know what else there is to say. This place is awful. The ribs were disgusting. The brisket was Ok if you like gray, flavorless, meat. The sausage was the best meat they had and that’s not saying much. The sauces were Ok I guess...Read More

It wasn’t enjoyable food at all. The BBQ beans had no flavor at all. The 2 sauces I tried weren’t anything to try again. The pork had a very odd color and for some reason they cooked it with onions in an attempt to give...Read More

My experience was great! I had the regular beef plate with coleslaw, jojo potatoes, and garlic bread. The waitress was attentive and gave great service. The slaw with the best I have ever had, the garlic bread was fantastic, the jojos are a perfect match,...Read More

My friend introduced me to John Hardy's BBQ in 1988. I've been eating here ever since. It's the best barbecue anywhere in the world as far as I'm concerned. They have all of what it takes the potatoes and the beans and everything else. It's...Read More

Received cold thinly sliced brisket (as thin as roast beef) with chunks of solid gelatinous refrigerated grease still on the brisket. Tots were good, slaw was ok. If you just want meat with BBQ sauce slathered on, go for it. This is not real BBQ....Read More
