If you’re around Shay’s Smash Burgers, don’t sleep on Joe’s Backyard BBQ right there in the same lot. Bruh, trust me when I say this—you won’t regret it. The spicy pork belly? Next level. The mac and cheese? Out of this world. Coleslaw? Phenomenal. Cornbread? Perfect balance—not too dry, not too moist. And the brisket… melts like butter on your tongue. The chicken? Ono, juicy, and full of flavor.
I could go on forever, but just know this spot is certified. Take it from a big Polynesian who loves his grinds—Joe’s Backyard BBQ is the real deal.

Burgers were good. Like the all American better than the fun guy. Fries were mediocre. And expect to wait a good 20 minutes.

Not sure if the business closed or not, been checking these past few days and they’ve been closed, didn’t see any signs.

It's always a good sign when the local police come and eat at a place. The food was good. There's secret menu items too.

They are getting their service a lot faster then before but I am a believer you cannot rush greatness and their burgers are really good.

Forgot onions. Isn't that typical for every burger? Cook the meat and caramelize the onions?
