1st time here. Great BBQ flavor and tender. They have a nice menu of different things to try. I look forward to another visit.

I wanted to give this place a try because my husband and his coworkers ate here during the week they met the manager said everything was great. We went on a Saturday, I ordered philly sub fries and tea husband got a hamburger fry and soda. My tea had things floating I seen before taking a drink....see on napkin the waitress said she bleached the container last week because others mentioned the same thing, but our food was very greasy fries undercooked, I wish I had the same experience as others but it was a miss for me.

We were drawn in by the vintage and nostalgic decor. What a charming diner! Everything made us smile. We tried the BBQ pork and chicken sandwiches and slaw. It was hot, fresh and homemade. The desserts and root beer floats looked delicious. Next we will try the fried okra. We will definitely be back and will bring our out of town company here. And they have a large party room!

I have been here twice now. Today's special was convict casserole (bbq beans, cornbread and cheese). It was delicious and a huge bowlful! Last week I got the Jailhouse sundae and that was really good too.

Thought I would give Jailhouse BBQ a try for the first time today. Ordered the pulled pork platter with greens and tater salad for my sides. The pork came with sauce already mixed in which isn’t my preference and it was a little too sweet for my liking. The greens were really good and the tater salad was okay. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. I paid almost $20 for the platter before tipping. They are not going to replace my favorite local BBQ restaurant.
