Jerk Juicy BBQ & Catering

I am very much impressed by the quality of customer service, and the American dream held up by this locally owned business. I ordered 1 lb of beef pastrami, a large side of Mac and cheese, and a large side of pork & beans. I got to try a sample of the meat before buying to make sure it was to my liking which I was not disappointed by any means.

I had high hopes for Juicy Jerk BBQ, but my experience was a complete disappointment. Their ribs and brisket were as dry as the Sahara desert and about as flavorful as cardboard. To add insult to injury, they managed to turn a pulled pork sandwich into a slaw soup by dumping extra slaw into the container. It was a soggy mess, completely inedible. I've had better BBQ from a supermarket deli counter. Save your money and your taste buds; avoid this place like the plague.

Disappointed. Always smells delicious driving by but what we got was disappointing. Sandwiches are just meat on bread. No toppings and a drizzle of sauce. Both sandwiches had a small amount of meat on them compared to other places we've been. Meat was on the dry side. Bun was soft which is good. Also got a rib plate. The ribs were fall off the bone and great. It came with 2 small sides, which again for the price was disappointing. None of the meal came with sauce. Ended up having to put BBQ sauce from the fridge on it.

Here from out of town for a short visit and ate lunch here. Had the sandwich meal less than $16. Mac was amazing, with great flavors and smoke. She asked if I wanted everything on the pulled pork. I'm glad I said yes. I'm not sure what all was on it, but it was good!

I don't write a lot or reviews, but I feel very frustrated with my experience here. I've been in Yelm a few times when they weren't open and have been curious for a while to try their food. The BBQ pulled pork sandwich was a disappointment. I received a thin layer of meat on a bun that came straight from the bag, and it was drowning in BBQ sauce. The potato salad cost FIVE DOLLARS for a tiny container smaller than my hand. It tasted like pickle water and barely had potatoes in it. There's a BBQ food truck down the street with incredible service and generous portions. Next time I'm in Yelm I won't come back to Jerk Juicy.
