“Had the Carolina sandwich, brisket with house BBQ sauce. Outstanding! Brisket had a great smoke and rub on it and the sauce was a great balance is smoke, sweet, salty etc. My son had th Charleston (brisket with pimento cheese) so so so GOOD!“

“I’ve had Butches twice in the last week after not having it at all for a long while, and it’s been delicious both times. Got the 2 leg quarter plate: potato curls are officially are as good as wedges used to be or better , and the baked beans were delicious. The big sour dough roll it comes with is great. But the real surprise this time was the home-made spicy ranch. Absolutely delicious. The chicken itself is so well seasoned and juicy, more so than I remember it ever being back when I used to come here. Whatever rub they’re putting on the skin works perfectly. As of July 2026, $10.99 for 2 leg quarters, 2 sides, bread, and drink included feels fair. I’ll keep coming as long as it stays this good! (If you want a lot of potato curls, the $5 large side is generous).“

“Absolutely could not say enough great things about JD’s! A few weeks before my wedding, we had multiple catering options fall through. JD’s saved the day, making food to feed my almost 100 people guest list. It was ready on time for pickup. Food was hot, delicious, & fairly priced. Best bbq in town, we’ll definitely be back!“
