Jalen's Bar-B-Q & Grille is a hidden gem that serves excellent BBQ despite its unassuming exterior. The restaurant's delicious food has won over even the most skeptical of customers, including those who don't typically enjoy BBQ. The loaded fries are a popular recommendation, and the sandwiches, collard greens, and potato salad are also highly praised. The portions are generous, and the homemade-style cooking is unmatched. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The restaurant has a roadside shack look with hand-painted signs and a rugged, grown-in appearance that adds to its charm. Don't be discouraged by its easy-to-miss location; this is a strong BBQ eatery with a steady stream of locals at the drive-through. Inside, there is a full bar and a small, no-frills dining space that feels cozy and homey. The owners pay great attention to customers, making every visit special. The mustard-based BBQ is simply great, and the BBQ chicken sandwich is considered the best by many. The main choices of brisket, ribs, pork, and chicken are all a step above expectations, with some saying others should take lessons. The sides, especially the cole slaw, are fantastic and a real old south gem. The loaded fries are awesome and enough to feed the whole family. Parking can be limited, so it's a great place to get food to go. Kids love it too, making it a perfect spot for family meals.
