Never disappointed at Jethro's. We got there for lunch just after 11, when they open, and it took longer than expected for food to come out; however, when it came out it was excellent as always. Nicely glazed burnt ends, fall apart brisket, etc...more food than we could eat, making for awesome leftovers!

This place is genuinely wonderful. I love their smoked brisket, and their chicken is to die for. Thank you for all the amazing service

I took some customers to lunch here last week and it was terrible. All 4 of us vowed never to go back. I didn't know you could make BBQ that awful. The server we had was amazing but the food was so gross that her great service couldn't contend against the really bad food.

BBQ pork sandwich is very good, tender and moist. Main sauce was better than expected, fries were not soggy and very crisp, What A Treat!

Stopped in for lunch while we were in town. Staff was friendly, the location was conveniently located and clean, and the food was great.

Absolutely worth the stop.

Went here for dinner before a movie. Brisket (sliced) was pretty dry and really didn't have any flavor. Had to cover in sauce just to make it appetizing, pulled pork was the same way, dry and not much flavor. Mac and cheese was pretty bland. Corn muffin was dense and tasted like it was cooked earlier in the day or the previous day and allowed to just sit out. The only actually good thing was the waffle fries I got.

I have no plans of coming back

Was in town for work training and asked the locals where to go…….WOW! Absolutly amazing! Went to hickory park earlier in the week, which was not bad, but Jethro’s was better hands down no question!!! Price was good, place was clean, and our waitress cody was super nice and had great recommendations! Will make a point to come back next time I’m in town!
