HORRIBLE SERVICE. Not just once but 3 visits it has taken FOREVER to get seated, get a server, get your food (cold). The last time the server even commented how dead business was then and yet it still they were so slow. Food is ok but not worth waiting and waiting and waiting.

This place is FANTASTIC! You almost don’t even need to read the rest of the review but if you do, here’s the skinny. Great service, Great food, super fun and home atmosphere. Saydee treated my party so well and brought out ALL their sauces for us to try. they even accommodated us after they closed. a highlight of our cross country road trip, thank you Jethro’s

We got sat in an empty room at lunchtime. 9 tv's in here but they're all off. Where is everyone?
Menu is expensive for what you get compared to other bbq joints in the same city.

Please don’t even waste your time!! They fell off and the food is trash, sent my food back and it came out even worse. Hard to mess up wings but they did… TWICE! So disappointed, I used to love their smoked wings but now they’re big and tasteless and unappetizing. Would give 0 if I could!!!!!

Place has gone down hill and doesn’t cater well to the bikers. They have strange rules for happy hour. Patio is nice, service was questionable and not too friendly

Food was not good. It had been a few years since I've been to a Jethros but the pork was not good. They forgot the chicken. On my friend's salad and the rest of the food was mediocre at best. Very sad because it used to be fire.
