First off, when you enter you need to order and pay for your order and they will bring it out to you when it is ready. For us, our 2 meals were ready in 10 minutes. I had the ribs and brisket combo. For sides I went with with slaw and BBQ beans. My wife had the ribs and shrimp. Everything is excellent. The ribs are smoked to perfection with a nice bark. The ribs are served without sauce but the table has both a tomato based sauce and a mustard based sauce. The tomato based sauce is very good. I was going to buy some on the way out but there was a line forming.
I highly recommend J&J BBQ.

Worth every mile, so the TV commercials say and it’s true! The ribs are tender, smoky, lean and overall delicious. The sweet, rich BBQ sauce is a perfect partner, so good. Mustard sauce is also available for those who prefer it. The baked beans are very good and coleslaw, cold, crisp with a tangy creamy dressing, two sides that deserve mention alongside the ribs. You order and pay at the counter inside the entrance and within minutes of sitting down the food arrives, piping hot. Self seating is available across multiple dining rooms, the bar and offer booths, small and large, clean tables. Staff regularly check with patrons to ensure all needs are met. This is a no-frills restaurant with plenty of character and great service, worth the trip.

This is a little no-frills mom and pop place that does fantastic brisket. We were out for a Sunday drive and came down from Hastings Minnesota to the Wisconsin side of the river and found this place. I had the brisket sandwich and my wife had a brisket wrap. The portions were generous, the fries were tender and crispy and the Mac’n cheese was cheesy and creamy! We will be back!

Totally yummy full rack of Very meaty ribs, French fries, and BBQ beans! The place was charming and the staff friendly, too. Well worth a trip from the Twin Cities to enjoy the experience!!! ❤️
Update: We returned to J&J BBQ & Catering and the food was better than I remembered. Our meal tasted great and was an excellent value at under $38 dollars; despite being really hungry we had leftovers to take home. I recommend taking cash for their “tip jar” or leaving it on the table for their hard working and cheerful staff (there was no place on the credit receipt to leave a tip).

My absolute favorite place! The ribs are the best I’ve ever had, love it that they come without sauce on them. Then grandpas saloon is the coolest little spot. Potato salad and the baked beans are the best as well.

Chris went over the top to assure our gathering was perfect. The food was great! The buffet line was extremely well organized. The room was set up to comfortably to fit our group of 42. We felt very welcome. On our way home we talked about what a great job J and J BBQ did.
Thanks again

One of the best bbq joints I’ve been to. The sausage dinner is great. The ribs are awesome. Dry rub as they should be. Add your house made sauce at the table.

The BBQ is actually good. Not the usual disappointment of Midwest BBQ. Not dry. The BBQ chicken was smokey, moist, and falling off the bone. Brisket was awesome. Didn’t try ribs but by the looks of it, they’re good too. The pork skins were fresh if and crackling when brought to the table. Melt in your mouth. Paired sauce was perfect. A sort of chipotle mayo that was mild and flavorful. The beer in Grandpa’s Saloon was great accompaniment and they bring the food to you there.
