Been eating here since the 90s. It's the sauce. The bbq chicken or rib sandwiches have never missed. And the potato salad is bomb. I've always thought it pricey, but always turns out to be worth it. Last time I was there the owner who used to be a cook back in the day, was able to purchase the place and I'll support that any day.

zero customer service, they answered the phone hello. Bomb ass barbecue though. Place been there for years and years and years. I sure hope they don't soon redo that shopping center and raise the lease rates and push this place out of business. That would be a shame.

JC's famous BBQ certainly lives up to its famous name. I've tried many BBQ establishments in the area and JC''s is number one in my opinion . First, the BBQ sauce is very delicious. It has just the perfect amount of spice. The meat is very tender and grilled to perfection and cooked to order. The food is fresh and served piping hot to perfection. The sides are also worth a shout out.. You can choose from potato salad, beans or green salad. I especially love the homemade salad dressing. The service is outstanding. The owner of the establishment is very nice and accommodating. The menu has lots of variety to choose from including a daily lunch special. You definitely get your moneys worth. The atmosphere is very nice, comfortable and family friendly. I highly recommend JC's BBQ.

My husband was craving beef ribs and searched Yelp until he came up with this place. Well, it did not disappoint!!! He downed the better part of the 8 Rib Family Bucket on his own. I thought the garlic bread, beans and potato salad were all tasty (but the green salad is literally just iceberg lettuce haha, don't come to a BBQ joint for salad I guess!!) This place might be better for takeout in the summer, as it doesn't appear to have AC, though it is clean and pleasant. As a bonus, the BBQ chicken was really good too, but it is probably the beef ribs that will keep us coming back. Only one person was manning the kitchen but his service was prompt and friendly. Definitely consider JC's if you want some solidly executed BBQ.

Wow, I drive around this area all the time, ALL the time and I always looked and say I'm going to try it out one of these days and today was the day. For an early Sunday afternoon it's was dead no one in this fine establishment and I honestly don't Know why, but I'm guessing it's because I think they just started opening on Sunday. Service was great, I was told about specials and didn't look at anything else because options for special looked delicious so I went with that. Ambiance great considering I was the only one inside it looked specious and clean. Great flavor with the sauce on ribs and chicken as well as very meaty ribs and chicken, only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the baked beans I would have like it a little more soft beans and less onions but that's just me I'm not a fan of onions and beans are baked so I can understand why they are the way they are. But people come have some bbq at JC's it's open sundays 10-8
