Reviews For J&J Smokehouse BBQ

Food was absolutely delicious and with great value. The best bbq spot I’ve ever had, great portion sizes for a platter with 2 meats, 2 sides and with included pickles and corn bread for 20 , still had half my meal to take away home. Baked beans were delicious and full of flavor. Brisket and burnt ends were also juicy, flavorful and plentiful in portion. The side of house made pickles included in the platter were deliciously spicy and not drenched with vinegar/still crunchy. Also picked up one of their walnut brownies. Only criticism I have is the Mac and cheese noodle itself was a bit soft but understandable for Mac and cheese. Restroom and parking on site. Must try spot, only sad that we don’t live closer to come back more. DEF stop by!

Wow what a bang for your buck. We stopped by here on our way up to Albany and needed an outdoor area that allowed pets, luckily they did! We ordered the brisket sandwich with an intention to share it but after getting our order I think this could easily be a meal for two. The brisket pulled apart easily and the sauce they provided was wonderful on top. So happy to come back here our next ride up!

We got the Catskill Cuban, pulled brisket, and burnt ends. We tried the Mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. The portions were huge. Definitely recommend.

Nachos are a MUST! Service was quick and the portion size was huge! Excellent for “pre-hiking meals”, we had plenty of leftovers from the platters and we made them into quesadillas for breakfast. The ribs MELTS in your mouth and it was super moist. Not a fan of the cauliflower sides, it was a bit on the tart side. I think it's a family run business, everyone was super friendly.

I want to share my sincerest thanks to J&J Smokehouse BBQ for catering our wedding! They have been absolutely amazing from the start and when I say, literally EVERYONE enjoyed every ounce of food we had yesterday! From the amazing customer service every time we stop there for lunch, the food being exceptional every time, and how prompt, kind and helpful the delivery driver was, J&J Smokehouse is a 10/10!!

This is a great little barbecue place - I think the sandwich I got may be the biggest one I've ever had. It was delicious and the sides were too, and the owner was very friendly. You can tell when a business is a labor of love and this is that. Well worth patronizing and you'll be glad you did.
