Excellent! Dining room is clean and spacious, furniture is sturdy,and the restrooms were very clean. The food was amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I tried Brisket/sausage/pulled pork and all 3 were great. Beans were top tier, potato salad 8 out of 10. The sauce was a little sweet for my taste but paired well with the meat. Almost everything was sold out by 2pm so go early for the best selection!

Great authentic Texas BBQ. The brisket and the jalapeño sausage were outstanding. Great people great food. Never had brisket on cheesecake before, but it was awesome.!

I had the absolute pleasure of trying some amazing bbq from Jw 's Bbq in Jacksonville. You can tell these folks know what they’re doing when it comes to meat👀. The brisket was perfectly seasoned and falling apart tender. We got 3 different kinds of sausages. Each one was uniquely different than the other, but they were all 3 amazing!!! We got the regular, chili cheese, and the jalapeño cheddar. Omar Herrera got some crazy sandwich with brisket, pulled pork,mac and cheese, coleslaw, bbq sauce, and possibly something else🤷🏼‍♂️. It must have been good because he ate every single bite. All of the sides (mac and cheese, potato salad, beans, and coleslaw) were amazing. I lied. I don’t eat coleslaw, so I really don’t know. Omar and my wife both liked it though. They offered us a sweet bbq sau

First time here and wow. This is some good BBQ!!! The coleslaw and potato salad are really good too.

WOW! This experience was unexpected in such a small town. The food, hospitality, and experience was absolutely one of the best ever, in all of our travels. It's an unassuming red building off of the highway, but the food is out of this world. There are lots of different options for a BBQ place, which is appreciated. It's not your average place with boring sandwiches, meat plates, and sides. Back to the food, both brisket sandwiches were a different variety. One had sausage, the other jalapeños and coleslaw both with chopped brisket... both were OUTSTANDING! The sides we chose were pinto beans and kale salad, which were also amazing! We ended up meeting Mike the chef and JW's parents, which were so kind and made us feel right at home like we were locals. We ended up buying the bbq sauce. We
