The food here was excellent from start to finish. The barbecue brisket was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the chicken was just as delicious with great seasoning and texture. The mashed potatoes with gouda and cheddar cheese were rich and creamy, adding a unique twist that really stood out. The mac n cheese was outstanding — comforting, cheesy, and full of flavor. Even the iced tea was fresh and refreshing, which completed the meal nicely. If you’re looking for a great BBQ restaurant in Wimberley, Texas, this place is definitely worth visiting. The quality of the food, attention to detail, and overall experience make it a spot I would happily recommend and return to again.

This trip was specifically for a Valentine’s Day hike and “BBQ crawl”. JPs was amazing! The hatch chili gouda sausage is a must have! Ribs best we had in the area and brisket was tender! Fun bar area with 4-way table ring toss and bar swings. Lindsey was fun to chat with too! Fresh herb garden coming soon for drinks!

This was my first visit to JP’s Barbecue in Wimberley, Texas, and I was immediately impressed by the layout of the place. There’s a cozy mini dining room, a larger main dining area, and everything felt well thought out. The restrooms were impeccable. Outside, they offer plenty of seating, an outdoor bar, and even a stage for live music, which adds to the overall atmosphere.
I had been craving barbecue, and a friend suggested we try JP’s. I ordered both the sliced brisket sandwich and the chopped brisket sandwich, along with a side of stewed cabbage. The chopped brisket sandwich was packed with flavor—the bark tasted excellent, with a subtle smokiness, and the meat was tender and juicy. The sliced brisket sandwich had the same great flavor and was served without barbecue sauce, allowing the meat to shine on its own.
I did try their spicy barbecue sauce, which was very good—not overly sweet and with just the right amount of heat.
My friend ordered the JP Plate, which came with a rib, sausage, brisket, and two sides. He chose fries and potato salad. The fries were fine, and he said the potato salad was okay as well. I’m a fan of good potato salad, and this one was average—not bad, but not memorable.
Both the sweet and unsweetened iced tea were absolutely delicious. A cold cup of iced tea is a must with barbecue, and JP’s delivers on that.
Overall, I’ll definitely be coming back. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Thank you for having us.
Yours truly,

Delicious no frills barbecue. An excellent value for your money anywhere in the area. The pulled pork was phenomenal! The right amount of smokey and sweet! The beans were also perfect! Clean atmosphere, friendly staff and cute backyard area. Just around the corner from the busy Wimberley square, a quieter spot, away from all the traffic. We can not reccomend this spot enough!

Coming through town after a day of canoeing with my nephew, saw their reviews and decided to give them a chance, and it did not disappoint. We have eaten barbecue all over this great state, and that was literally some of it not the best barbecue we’ve ever had. And amazingly everything was good. The mac & cheese and the green beans were also outstanding.
And lastly, staff were very nice and helpful as well. Just an all-around great experience.

We stopped at JPs BBQ based on other reviews. Had thr brisket, hatch sausage links, mac and cheese and creamed corn. The corn was the star of the show!! Not only was it creamy–it was divinely cheesy too! Id drive back there just for the corn, the rest is a bonus!!

There is a playground and everyone that works here is just so sweet. You can order inside or order at the bar. There are two swings seats. There is a wheelchair access and usually live music on the weekends. There are games like cornhole, little bit of darts. Very cute.

My wife and I loved JP’s BBQ. She had a sliced brisket sandwich and I had smoked turkey and 4 pork ribs. Everything was delicious and the service was great.

JP’s is far and above the best BBQ around and to think this gem is right around the corner from us in Wimberley. Everything was 10 out of 10. I was salivating as soon as I turned onto River Rd. The smell of the wood smoke was simply ‘intoxicating’. Their sides are outstanding too, although there wasn’t an option for me to recommend those. We had potato salad, pinto beans, and cole slaw. Absolutely delicious! You can’t go wrong here.
