How should I say it! My Grand mama might be mad. But J&L Bar-B-cue is some real Southern Cooking! I ordered them Oxtails, rice, and vegetables. My grandma can't cook like that. Big giant Oxtails with that gravey over a nice bed rice. Man u missing out if don't go grab that plate. Well worth the price. It feels good to be a traveler and be able to get a great meal far away from home.

Came here because it was nearby and I was hungry. The guy that greeted me was very nice. I tried to order a pulled pork sandwich and he kindly told me they were out. He suggested the oxtail to me which i've never had before. The food was delicious. The cabbage has lots of flavor and it's almost kinda sweet. The oxtail was sooo tender and juicy. Seasoned really well and paired good with the rice. And the cornbread was the perfect thing to finish it off. :) Would definitely recommend this.

Is this a Black restaurant??? If so, OMG. I got the 4 piece chicken wings, best chicken I've tasted so far, coming from Portland Oregon. I'm very impressed ?

You've gotta try the Ox Tail, it's super good and juicy.Joseph s& Laurelle are some of the most generous and kind individuals I've met.

What an awesome local BBQ place! I ordered the Ribs and they were so good! The beans and potato salad also seemed to be made from scratch and tasted great. I was surprised at how large the portions were and how high quality the food was for such a reasonable price. I can't wait to walk back :)

I’ve been driving by this spot for awhile now and I gotta admit that BBQ is my kryptonite. I’m pretty picky and I feel that not all bbq is created equal. One sunny day about two weeks ago I decided to pull over. Listen people, do NOT sleep on this place! Why I waited so long to stop, I do not know. I ordered the rib plate and it wasn’t your basic food. The ribs were tender, juicy and flavorful. The beans were yummy and not overwhelming. The potato salad was delish and just brought it all together. Everyone was welcoming and friendly like you just walked into a family bbq. It’s nice to have some great bbq in the NEP! Come through, you’re going to be glad that you did.

Great food. Great service. Ribs and pulled pork both awesome. Baked beans, fries, and potato salad also great.

We had J&L cater our 130 person wedding with two choices of Meats and 3 sides. The whole process with them went so smoothly, they delivered our food timely and we received TONS of great reviews on the food. Their catfish was AMAZING and the corn bread and green beans with bacon were a hit. If I ever had to do another large event they will be number one choice. thank you guys so much for taking our wedding to the next level!Taylor and James Roberts

I love the bar b que but I did not like the potato salad or the beans the potato salad had too much vinegar in it and the beans was not seasoned.

This is the REAL DEAL! Drove all the way from SeaTac because I didn't have ze papers (proof of vaccination) and Tina hooked it up! From St. Louis and I'd put this place up against ANY of the best St. Louis BBQ joints. Thanks for the hospitality Tina!

Disclaimer, from Texas and have high bbq standards. It's $20 for a brisket plate but my brisket was at least half inedible salty fat and the potato salad was off, didn't taste right. Mac n cheese was okay. Too expensive to not be really really good ‍
