It was an online order for carry-out. Piece of advice, call them to confirm they've received your order. We had ribs, potato salad, pulled pork, sausage, rib tips, brisket and Mac N Cheese. Super delicious ? all of it.

Yesss ma’am!! Met ms. D at the Mesa location, let me tell you I will come back for her service alone!! she hooked it up!! I got referred to JL after telling my god mother I can’t find good soul food like back home in oakland in Arizona.. the Meat was amazing.. didn’t even need the sauce you can taste the smoke and the rub was soo good on the ribs/rib tips/brisket, the peach cobbler was warm and soft yummm. Very happy I came and found a solid bbq spot!! Thank you guys !

Amazing food and service. The brisket was by far some of the best BBQ we've had. Loved the homemade baked beans, nice little spice to them, and the potato salad was a hit. Super friendly and helpful staff. A must try if you appreciate good BBQ!

We had the pulled pork, brisket and rib tips with baked beans, coleslaw, green beans and Mac n cheese tonite. Excellent meal! 5 stars! Absolutely delicious! Bbq sauce is the very best. Thank you!

The food here is really good. I had the brisket and ribs. I also ordered the shrimp Po boy. Everything was seasoned really well. The lady there was really nice. Probably my new BBQ spot.

Food Only 5stars restaurant could stand up dating in another bbq location that is no longer with us JL is much like the joints that are All Over the SOUTH serving really good Q huge selection of meats and Down to Earth sides Not just beans fries or a processed potato salad ALL of JL sides are made in house with Flavor that is lacking at I other bbq places the Collard greens beans potato salad are my favorites along with the special cornbread that is truly a SOUTHERN treat just to close JL Q serves their chicken On the Bone as it should be Don't forget the Peach Cobbler for dessert l'm usually too full to eat it after my meal so I get a order for later Great treat Not Frozen crap that others serve Family Owned l have eaten at both locations and the food is the same

I made a quick stop for lunch last weekend while my car was getting serviced. I ended up ordering their lemon pepper wings with a side of sweet potato fries, & let me tell you, that dish was phenomenal! Fries were cooked and seasoned very well & the chicken wings were full of flavor and zest (which lemon pepper wings are suppose to have in my opinion) I know they just opened in that plaza recently so, I wanted to support. They did not disappoint! Looking forward to my next visit to sample their bbq platter eats! Definitely I recommend giving this place a try! They have a lot of deliciousness on their menu as well
