Had an amazing experience at Jim Dandy’s in Rutherford. Alessandro and Peter provided outstanding customer service — super friendly, patient, and really helped me and my wife with our order. The food was incredible, especially the ribs with mashed potatoes and cornbread… absolutely delicious. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Looking up on google found this spot it was in a nice area. Customer service wasn’t great but got me in and out. I got the General toast, chicken, and yellow rice the guy said it’s one of their famous plates so I try it out. Definitely good food I would definitely go back and I think they give you more on a Thursday. Good food ! It’s a bbq place but has a lot of options.

This was the first time I ate here. The gentleman that took our order was very nice and helpful. We had the ribs, brisket and fries and baked potato. Everything was delicious. The coleslaw was the best I have had in a long time. Will definitely return soon.

The pace is very cozy and big. Perfecta to go with friends, fam or just for a date. The pulled pork is amazing. The fried sweet potatos is heaven, and of course the service was great! Defórmele I’ll come back for more good food .
