Great food and people! We wanted something tasty for dinner and didn’t feel like cooking…ordered one smoker meal to share but quickly realized it wasn’t going to be enough food. They were able to add to our order promptly. Pulled pork was fresh and so good. Mac n cheese is delicious so was the slaw even! We will be back to cure our future bbq cravings.

I’m so thrilled MJs opened recently, not only because we could use a good take out BBQ place in the area, but because they are open Sunday and Monday when most other restaurants are closed. I’ve ordered takeout twice and all the food has been great. Let’s start with the French fries which are hand made natural with a light crisp layer that I don’t normally like but they add just a little and it helps absorb more of the delicious beef tallow they are fried in. I was blown away by the sweet potato fries, made similarly, but by far the crispiest and most flavorful I’ve ever had! The pulled pork is delicious and goes perfectly with their little home made buns to make a delicious sandwich. The brisket is simple and solid and worked well on the delicious loaded baked potato. But the best meat mi

Maybe it'll get better as they get further along and get into a groove but we were really disappointed with what we got today especially for the price we paid. Got a brisket sandwich, my husband said it was just ok. We also got 2 grilled cheese but added chicken to it. We both thought it would come with BBQ sauce but it didn't so it was just grilled cheese on an upside down burger bun with chopped pieces of chicken. We also got macaroni and cheese, it was AWFUL. Literally the worst macaroni and cheese I've ever had. It looks like they use whole wheat pasta and it was cooked to death, basically mush. The cheese sauce was gritty, lumpy and overall just bad. The fries were good. I called ahead and was told it would be an hour, it ended up being closer to an hour and half.

The food was fantastic! I had gotten the pulled pork, creamed corn, and Mac and cheese! All of it was equally delicious! And to top it off, the owners are very nice people, I cannot recommend checking this place out enough!!

The ribs are delicious! And the Mac n cheese! And the pulled chicken! Pure deliciousness. Super friendly service - glad to support this place. Grateful to have bbq as an option in our rural area.
