Jo Jo's Backyard BBQ

Friendly people. Neat building. Sadly, the food, although very tender, is completely flavorless. (They do provide you with sauces, some store bought, that you can add). The meat has zero flavor & the sides clearly come from a can or box. Compared to dozens of bbq restaurants priced comparatively, JoJo's fails big time. Go to Tickle My Ribs or Johnny G's. I really wish the food was as good as the people there, but it's not. Won't return, unfortunately.

Tried this for the first time after living here for almost 6 years.. food was really great, prices were fair/ for this type of food and the customer service was great as well. Will definitely be a regular!

The food here is delicious. I got the two meat plate with pulled pork and ribs with red slaw and potato salad. The pulled pork and the ribs had a smokey flavor. The rub they use on the ribs is delicious. I also enjoyed the red slaw and potato salad. The potato salad is very good.

Love Jo Jo’s Backyard Bbq!! Got a big carry out order yesterday and it was delicious! Everything included as promised. We go to Jo Jo’s regularly and there’s never been a mistake or anything that wasn’t good.

Need more seasoning in the food

The food was not good whatsoever, we were a party of three, the ribs were very dry the skin on the chicken was rubber! I don’t know if it was just a bad day. However, the staff was amazing, very welcoming and professional. I recommend testing the food prior to serving.

JoJos is sort of a destination restaurant.... it's convenient for me and my friends to stop for lunch when out on a motorbike ride. The BBQ is excellent.. nice choice of sauces.....and sides. Owners are friendly and serious about what they do. Happy to support them.
