Great food at good prices. Service can leave a little to be desired at times. I have seen cleaner places but nothing that would prevent me from coming back.

Kid-friendliness: Depends on what is meant by kid friendly. Do they allow kids? Yes lol. Is it a place that parents can bring their kids and keep them occupied for a time? No

Great little place not fancy . The staff is so friendly! The food is great the country style steak, chicken & dumplings are wonderful. Seafood and wood smoked BB are very good. Prices are unbeatable! Highly recommend it.

Placed a to go order. Ordered large size seafood ended up with what seemed like a child’s portion. They left off the slaw, charged us for a loaded bake potato which we did not order and the hush puppies were burned. The quality has gone downhill. Would not recommend to anyone. Spend your hard earned dollars somewhere else.

If you're in the mood for an utterly disappointing dining experience, John Boys is the place for you. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with the overpowering stench of stale grease and despair.

The chicken strips tasted like they had been boiled in dishwater and then left out in the sun for a week. The meat had the flavor of something that had been forgotten in the back of a fridge.

Prices were sky-high for what was essentially cafeteria food masquerading as BBQ and seafood. John Boys is a testament to everything that can go wrong in a restaurant. Save your money and your taste buds and find literally anywhere else to eat.

Parking: Plenty of parking probably because nobody wants to eat here.

Do not eat here!! Save your insides. I ate here today for lunch and had a plate of finally chopped bbq that had been cooked for close to 6 1/2 years. Honestly I’m not sure it was pork, there’s better stuff less than 5 min away. Do yourself a favor and go there.

Went there around 5:30 one evening during the week. Line of people standing at the counter, others sitting waiting either to be served or to order. Staff behind the counter just kind of stared at us, said nothing and went on doing other stuff. Stood there for a solid 5 minutes. Then counter line did not move, no one was being served, nothing was happening. We left and went somewhere else.

We stopped there on way back to hotel from racetrack. Got 2 bbq meals to go. They had a smoked bbq meal as a "Special" for $6.95. Great deal IF you like Smoked food as you get bbq, Cole Slaw & 1 other item. Good amount of food for that price!! The hushpuppies were the BEST & Cole Slaw was very good. I simply prefer non-smoked bbq but Would recommend this place.
