First time going to the yard in Salem, we had Jojos bbq Mac and cheese special-SO DELICIOUS! The flavors, the pulled pork bbq was perfection! More than enough for two people and a great atmosphere with inside seating!

It has been a long time since I had good catfish and hushpuppies. The fish was perfect. The fries and slaw were great. The hushpuppies were the best I have ever had in Oregon. I highly recommend JoJo’s. It is a diamond in the rough. Excited I happened to find out about it.

I moved to Oregon in 2023 from Kansas City. While I love it here, and the food scene is superb, there was something missing. I came across this place on TikTok and wanted to give it a shot. Soul food is right because this touched my KC BBQ Soul in such a way. This! This is what my heart was missing.

Best cart at The Yard, hands down. I’ve only gone on Fridays because that’s when they have the fried catfish. Picked up 2 6 piece Catfish combos for the family and we still have leftovers. My kids tried my plate from here the last time we went to The Yard and while they enjoyed the food they got from another cart they said next time they want Catfish so we had to wait for another Friday to get it which was today. The sides are on point too, and there’s no pork in them if you don’t eat swine. Well worth the money we spent. The owner is cool too. We’ll have to stop by on a Monday to try the Fried Chicken next I think.

Absolute 1000/10 best meal I have ever eaten. I got the chicken ribs combo and everything was just perfect. Creamy flavorful Mac and cheese, sweet honey cornbread, savory baked beans and the CHICKEN AND RIBS so incredibly good!

This really hit the spot! The BBQ Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious! Creamy, cheesy deliciousness! Pulled pork was on point and the BBQ sauce is super good! The owner suggested to put honey on the hush puppies and I will never eat it without it ever again! Definitely worth the visit! Great food experience thus far on my trip visiting Oregon (I’m from WI)

This is the best southern soul food I’ve had in the 10 years I have been in Oregon. Everything on the plate was delicious. Fried chicken, Mac and cheese, candied yams, greens, and the best honey cornbread I have ever had. 10/10 highly recommended

Oh. My. God. I haven’t had this good of BBQ since I visited Georgia three years ago. The ribs and mac n cheese were life changing. I kid you not. The BBQ sauce itself was perfectly smoky, sweet, and tangy. I had never had collard greens before – they were DELICIOUS! And don’t even get me started on the honey cornbread. Sweet and moist – it was all perfect. The owner helped us and he is just the nicest man. If you get the opportunity, you HAVE to stop by!

We drove up from Corvallis to try just this place. We got the pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese, and the baked beans. Ordered right when the place opened and had our food maybe ten minutes later, fantastic turnaround time. The mac and cheese was some of the best I’ve ever had and the pulled pork was delicious! Go check this place out!!
