About 3 weeks ago I stopped in a bought 2 racks of ribs and side, got them home and ribs where not even done had to cook them in oven for about 4 hours to be able to eat them, so I called and they said that I could come back and they would give me 2 more ribs I told them that I would come back in a few weeks and get them. Well today I stopped and get them and bought another half rack and sides on top of that and get them home and they were done lol brunt brunt and dry. How can you look at something black and decide to give that to somebody. Unbelievable will not go there every again.

Made an online order of $100 on THEIR website. Site said order would be delivered by 6:30 pm. Order never arrived. We called multiple times and no one answered. Finally got ahold of someone and he says they don't do online orders. Well, you just charged us $100 and our family has been expecting dinner for an hour. Employee tells us the owner will call us. He never does so I call them back and he basically calls me a liar. I do not recommend this place. I will never order from there again
again

Excellent local BBQ place with friendly and helpful servers. I dined in from out of town and they were eager to help me understand the menu and pick options to try different types of meats. Clean, organized, nice soda options (HFC free!) and fun sides (try the sweet corn casserole.)

Would recommend to any BBQ fan in the area.

In all normalcy we love Johnsons BBQ - never had a bad meal nor experience- My husband is a sucker for their brisket and their beans - and me well I can eat Mac and cheese and corn casserole all day. So when we decided to have them do the food for our 10 year wedding anniversary/vow renewal we were extremely excited for our friends and family to give them a try. I was thoroughly disappointed with the food we received. The brisket ( which we paid extra for) was so tough and tasted like a bottle of lighter fluid had been poured over the top of it. The BBQ baked beans .... basically a huge pan of pork and beans ( no one ate them and I still have most of them left over) there was no seasoning , no BBQ sauce to make them BBQ Baked beans- basically like a bunch of can of pork and beans was just dumped into a pan. for 24lbs of meat ordered we received a 1/4 lb container of mild sauce - and a 1/2 lb container of sweet. There wasn't anything wrong with the other food that I know of, but we were extremely disappointed in the quality of the food especially with the amount of money that was paid.
Very disappointed customers

Good People (PRAGMATISM)

I am telling you when I am a barbecue fan Johnson's BBQ shack just touched my soul!!! That brisket sandwich though🥹 I'm not understanding why it's so slow in there. They need to change location because this food right here deserves every dollar they're asking plus gratuity. Very delicious very great service and well clean atmosphere! Plus I offered to buy a roll of paper towels from them and they let me take them on the house. I'm definitely coming back! Thank you Johnson's BBQ Shack for your service 🫶🏾

the man at the order stand was very friendly and helped with ordering for my first time. The food was amazing! I got a pulled pork sandwich with the coleslaw on top. the pit special i believe is what it’s called. it was the best coleslaw i’ve ever had! the mac and cheese and baked beans were great too. i’ll definitely be coming back with more people.

We had a graduation party on the patio. The staff was phenomenal. I didn't get her name, but the younger lady at the front was amazing. They all worked very hard & went above & beyond expectations. The food was amazing as well! Thank you for making this day a success!

Walked in, depressing music, somber atmosphere, staff was slow to acknowledge. Tables were dirty, staff was barely friendly. I got the feeling that the guy working was hating life. Food was dry and barely warm. Ended up leaving
