Ordered through Uber Eats. Relieved eggs are very bland…$15??? Nooo
Smoked wings… mediocre. Wings were actually TOUGH. Skin was tough.. meat tough.
Hard no on food… especially for the price. I’m a serious southern food lover and cook myself: My mom sold Southern food from her kitchen, from scratch, in Chicago, for years. Sorry… no. Husband ordered the French dip.Mediocre at best.
I’m so sorry J Renders, but if you’re going to be southern fare.. do better.

Best smoked chicken I have ever had! The flavor was incredible and the meat fell right off the bone. *lips smackin*
The mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and unforgettable. Their Maker’s Mark Bourbon BBQ sauce is outstanding and pairs perfectly with the smoked meats. Fantastic food, warm atmosphere, and great bourbon selection!
The brisket left me wanting something more though.

My wife and I were visiting from
We were out of town and luckily found J.Renders right next to our motel. We’re so glad we stumbled upon such a fantastic barbecue place nearby. We tried the sampler, which included shrimp, ribs, pull pork, and sausage. The ribs were massive and absolutely delicious, the shrimp were grilled to perfection, and the pull pork and sausage were top-notch. The BBQ had a great balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Overall, it was a wonderful meal. The service could have been better, but we were the only people who decided to sit outside, so it might have been our server was busy inside. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend checking out J.Renders.

I really wanted to like this place, but my experience with the 4-Meat Platter was disappointing enough to leave honest feedback.
The platter included brisket, pork, shrimp, and chicken, plus two sides. The side portions were extremely small for the price, but the main issue was the meat quality. The brisket was by far the worst item — very dry, tough, and lacking moisture or flavor. The pork and shrimp were also dry and overcooked. The only item that was cooked reasonably well was the half chicken, which makes me think this may have been an off day or food that sat too long before being served. Or I was served yesterday’s meat reheated.
I don’t leave negative reviews lightly and usually give businesses the benefit of the doubt. A 4-meat platter should showcase the best of the kitchen, and this unfortunately missed the mark.
Don’t eat here. It’s not worth your hard earned money

I have not been to the physical restaurant. However, their food truck came to my neighborhood a few weeks ago. The workers were very friendly, and the food was ready quickly and it was delicious. They had a BBQ sauce bar which I appreciated. I got the BBQ Pork Nachos and my husband got the “Oh no You Didn’t” Grilled Cheese. The food did encourage us to go to the brick and mortar if we are ever in that area. The reason for the 4 stars is because they were not set up and ready at the quoted time.

Oooof. My group and I originally came to eat next door at Beau’s Cafe, but after seeing a 45 minute wait we decided to come next door. Now we understand why no one was here and everyone was next door.
There was no wait at J. renders and we were one of the first and only tables inside. There were seven of us and one child. The waitress was friendly enough, but struggled to meet our basic needs. I ordered an ice water multiple times and never recieved it. Another in our party ordered an espresso that took 15-20 minutes to arrive as we watched it sit on the counter for -9 minutes waiting to be delivered.
The food took over 40 minutes to be delivered. I ordered the Benedict which was sat at the table completely cold. Not even slightly warm. I had others at my table try it to confirm and we all agreed it was worth telling the staff about. After pointing it out to the waitress I did ask for it to be taken off the bill but told her we didn’t have time for a new one to be delivered. She didn’t take it off, but instead discounted it 20 percent.
The “poached egg” was a hard boiled egg on top of the Benedict that was also cold. (See photo) Everyone www very underwhelmed with their food, the wait, and the service. I could say many more things about the food, but you get it by now. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

This was a new find for me. It is not a big chain but locally owned. There are dishes that you cannot find other places. Also Eric was our waiter and it was some of the best service i have had in Lexington. Throughly enjoyed it and if you want something different but delicious then you owe it to yourself to try it out.

Wow! I haven’t been this pleased in a while. Even my wife who’s not a huge BBQ person was talking great when we left.
The appetizers were awesome. Cold beer and BBQ. How could you go wrong? Everything was fantastic! Greens, coleslaw, cornbread all the smoked meats. My son smashed the smashburger and the smoked wings….get outta town!
Amanda our server was great too.
I wish I had found this place sooner!

Love this place. They are always so good to us when we are there. The happy hour specials are great. They also have periodic events there like watch parties for games. When the weather is nice there is music on the patio. They are often rotating different drinks and dishes but it’s not over done. Food is consistently good. Owners are frequently stopping in to check on things. My only issue that the bathrooms can be a “log jam”. One-person set up and place probably has 12 tables (4+ seating) inside and another 6-10 outside.
