Theses not enough words to describe not only the food but the owner and her employees , I got the TNT burger today and hats off to chef Laura this burger was not only huge but perfectly cooked with perfect amount of jalapeños to bring the spice and bacon piled to heaven where this burger came from . The owner Kanitha always has a smile on her face and makes sure this place feels as welcoming as home . For anyone looking for lunch or dinner … this is the spot stop here !
We recently did a motorcycle ride up to Spruce Pine and stopped by CJ's BBQ. The service was excellent with the server quickly taking our order and getting our drinks to us. The food was very good. I had the beef brisket platter, which was super!
The prices are very reasonable, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was good (it's a little hole-in-the-wall gem). I look forward to visiting again!

Update Aug 2025:
Decreased rating, they will not serve you water unless you pay for bottled water at $2.99. If a $1 for bottled water I would have done it. So I had NO drink (no outside drinks or food allowed). On the plus side the cheese burgers were delicious and my onion rings. Sweet potato tots were ok. Limited parking spaces.
We went on Mother's Day after church, and there was no wait (how lovely). My husband & I shared the 3 meat platter...
