About Jalen's Bar-B-Q & Grille

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, especially the pulled pork fries, which some customers say are the best they've ever had. The sandwiches, including the BBQ chicken salad and double cheeseburger, are highly praised, along with the sides like coleslaw and potato salad. 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. Despite its easy-to-miss location, it attracts a steady stream of locals, especially through the drive-thru, where wait times might be a little longer. 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 and the BBQ ribs, brisket, 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 the loaded fries are enough to feed the whole family. Parking can be limited, making it a great place to get food to go. Kids love it too, making it a perfect spot for family meals.

Every time we go up that way, we stop there. Anytime I’ve eaten anything has always been great. Really good to speak to you too and I don’t know if anybody’s mentioned it but they have great beans. 😂 my husband usually gets the ribs and their fries because they’re actually good. I usually get a sandwich of some sort last time. It was a chicken sandwich. I told my husband are you going drink 3/4 of it and leave me a fourth left and he said OK give us two large sweet...read full review
