J. Render's Southern Table & Bar

Best smoked chicken I have ever had! 🐔💨 The flavor was incredible and the meat fell right off the bone. *lips smackin* The mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and unforgettable. Their Maker’s Mark Bourbon BBQ sauce is outstanding and pairs perfectly with the smoked meats. Fantastic food, warm atmosphere, and great bourbon selection! The brisket left me wanting something more though.

My wife and I were visiting from We were out of town and luckily found J.Renders right next to our motel. We’re so glad we stumbled upon such a fantastic barbecue place nearby. We tried the sampler, which included shrimp, ribs, pull pork, and sausage. The ribs were massive and absolutely delicious, the shrimp were grilled to perfection, and the pull pork and sausage were top-notch. The BBQ had a great balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Overall, it was a wonderful meal. The service could have been better, but we were the only people who decided to sit outside, so it might have been our server was busy inside. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend checking out J.Renders.

I really wanted to like this place, but my experience with the 4-Meat Platter was disappointing enough to leave honest feedback. The platter included brisket, pork, shrimp, and chicken, plus two sides. The side portions were extremely small for the price, but the main issue was the meat quality. The brisket was by far the worst item — very dry, tough, and lacking moisture or flavor. The pork and shrimp were also dry and overcooked. The only item that was cooked reasonably well was the half chicken, which makes me think this may have been an off day or food that sat too long before being served. Or I was served yesterday's meat reheated. I don’t leave negative reviews lightly and usually give businesses the benefit of the doubt. A 4-meat platter should showcase the best of the kitchen, and

Ordered through Uber Eats. Relieved eggs are very bland…$15??? Nooo Smoked wings… mediocre. Wings were actually TOUGH. Skin was tough.. meat tough. Hard no on food… especially for the price. I’m a serious southern food lover and cook myself: My mom sold Southern food from her kitchen, from scratch, in Chicago, for years. Sorry… no. Husband ordered the French dip.Mediocre at best. I’m so sorry J Renders, but if you’re going to be southern fare.. do better.

I have not been to the physical restaurant. However, their food truck came to my neighborhood a few weeks ago. The workers were very friendly, and the food was ready quickly and it was delicious. They had a BBQ sauce bar which I appreciated. I got the BBQ Pork Nachos and my husband got the “Oh no You Didn’t” Grilled Cheese. The food did encourage us to go to the brick and mortar if we are ever in that area. The reason for the 4 stars is because they were not set up and ready at the quoted time.
