Ordered carry out today and the food was delicious. The J burger was amazing with the zap sauce and the special sauce. We also ordered the mason Dixon chicken salad, which was unbelievable. Also, the baked beans were out of this world. A must try!

This place is a hidden gem. I do not believe any of three star reviews or below. I've driven by 1000 times stopped in for the first time and was extremely impressed! Great atmosphere and even better food!

Had a very good brisket, cornbread and onion ring combo. Smoky flavor adds a nice compliment to savory meat. This is our go to restaurant when we desire a savory and smoky blend. Onion rings are very good.

We just relocated from Palm Springs, CA to Keego Harbor and stopped in here for dinner. The place was clean and staff were friendly with a nice atmosphere. My only question is why they don't cook requested well done?? Our waiter told us the chef can't cook to order he only does rare to medium rare. Anyone else have this experience? We changed one of our dinner choices to avoid rare cooked meat. My burnt ends were really good as was our other sandwich. Would love to try a burger but only well done. I hope the mgmt replies to my review and helps me understand the rare to well done issue.

Food was very good; service was a bit slow, (which was surprising) given it was a slow night.

Best BBQ in Oakland County. We've been coming here for a few years now several times each month. The fried chicken and burnt ends are our favorite and helped us survive the pandemic as one of our top carry out picks. The gumbo is also among the best I've had. Unfortunately service is often hit and miss. The kitchen seems to have major problems producing food quickly even when the restaurant is empty.
