Barbeque Restaurants in Jefferson

“Without a doubt, the place to go for your BBQ needs! The ribs (which is what we got both times) were moist, nice and smokey and so tender! Delicious!! We stopped by while camping at Caddo Lake State Park and are so glad we did! If we lived closer (Colorado Springs is a bit far...lol) This would be our go to place all the time!. Will and Lucy are very nice and the prices are great. Definitely recommend!“

“Fantastic food and an overall great experience at Riverport BBQ. The sliced brisket sandwich was outstanding, tender, flavorful, and generously portioned. The young lady who served us and brought our food to the table was cheerful, attentive, and kind despite how busy it was, and I truly wish I had gotten her name. When I asked for onions and pickles, she happily grabbed them, which made us feel genuinely welcomed.

Unfortunately, the cashier and order taker (I believe her name was Crystal) was the only downside. As first-time visitors, we asked a few simple menu questions, but her tone and impatience made us feel uncomfortable, especially while on vacation. After reading other reviews, it seems this has been a recurring issue.

I am still giving five stars because it would not be fair to the owner or the wonderful server we had to let one role overshadow an otherwise excellent experience. My sincere hope is that Crystal finds a position where she can be truly effective, perhaps one that does not require frequent customer interaction. That would benefit both her and Riverport BBQ.

If the order-taking experience had been pleasant, this place would be absolutely perfect. We would happily return for the brisket and the wonderful owner alone.“
