Johnson Southern Style Bar-B-Q

Exceptional food with excellent service. The sauce and dry rub they sell was awesome. I definitely recommend supporting this local gem.

The best. If the place doesn't look like this, you're going to be missing out....

As always great bar-b-q
Great service

The food is smoked perfectly and the prices are fair for the portions. They are not over priced at all. Friendly, nice, fresh and delicious 😋

First time here and didn't know what to expect. Thought it was a walk up place at first but was told it was a drive through so had to re adjust. Food was pretty good although we thought we would get out of the vehicle after a long trip but apparently that wasn't going to happen because we weren't allowed to park. I'm also going to assume that we showed up at a inconvenient time as it was just the owner unloading supplies working by himself when we got there. Will definitely be back in the future and I'll update this if seating is available.

Back to the food....
The Italian beef I got was good and seasoned right... but I didn't understand how adding hot peppers to it turns it into a Philly cheese steak.... Just no .... That's not how that works lol.
The turkey breast sandwich was delicious and you could taste the wood smoke, definitely not a added liquid smoke taste. You can tell the owner wants things to be right and to deliver a good meal that's worth what you pay.

I ate here once ten years ago with my then-girlfriend. I ate here later with her as my fiancée and again as my wife. We always stop at Johnson’s when we go to southern illinois. It’s the best BBQ I’ve ever had and the price can’t be beat.
