“Pardner’s Bar-B-Que is the real deal! If you’re looking for authentic Texas barbecue with great flavor and a welcoming atmosphere, this place absolutely delivers.

The food was fantastic — perfectly smoked meats, great sides, and that classic BBQ flavor you hope for when you walk into a place like this. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve.

The service was just as good as the food — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere has that relaxed, local BBQ joint vibe that makes you want to sit down, enjoy your meal, and stay awhile.

If you’re anywhere near the area and craving great barbecue, Pardner’s is definitely worth the stop. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Consistently good service and great food! They have a really nice selection of bourbons/whiskies and good bartenders. Bartenders will come to your table and ask questions sometimes to ensure they get it right. It’s not just their smoked meats that are so good either, their sides are terrific! The fried ocra is like my grandmother used to make.“

“Great! I had pork BBQ tray, collard greens and BBQ beans. Everything was excellent. I tried just a little of the vinegar bbq sauce base because not usually my favorite but it was very good. I used the traditional sweet southern style sauce and it was my favorite. My husband had a brisket burger and loved it! Also the smoked Mac and cheese and cornbread pudding (think that is what they called it) very very good as well. We enjoyed banana pudding for dessert! We highly recommend!!“

“To many out of town peckerwoods that don’t like greasy food or food with flavor or that can tell the difference with styles of pulled pork sandwiches! This is Chopped not pulled morons also a different style of preparation and flavor with chopped compared to pulled pork. This place is the oldest BBQ place in the entire region with the original recipe dating back from the start! Highly recommend prices may be high but you literally get enough on 1 plate to feed 3 normal people!“

So they brought my food out to me. The staff are very polite. It is a pleasure to go to J’s Corner. And I like that they close on Sunday now.“
