Had the tenderloin special for lunch. Decent size tenderloin, good breading, and pretty good. It was perfect for a quick lunch

The smash burger is not a smash burger it’s big and thick and texture is like rubber I’ve had a lot of burgers in my life and this was just horrible. Asked for fries didnt get them til we left another worker asked me to get something eles he didn’t want me to go home hungry I said ok I guess I’ll take chicken nachos those weren’t very good either. Our drinks were never refilled I had to pour half my drink into my husband’s glass because he was thirsty. I finally got up and went to kitchen to ask for another drink because our waitress wouldn’t check on us throughout our meal when she did we’d ask her for something and she would forget and never bring it we ask four times for drinks. So I thought after our horrible experience we’d get those nachos that replaced my unsmashed burger for free and maybe the two beers my husband finally got after he was done eating for free but no they did nothing to make it right. Also the boneless wings are strips of chicken. I mostly give great reviews but for $80 on my husband’s birthday this was horrible. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone if you want a good meal. Also very slim selection of bbq food small menu

Came in today (Friday) around 3pm. Just in time for half-price appetizers! Happy Hour runs from 3pm-6pm Monday through Friday, apparently. We got the fried cheese squares (yum! I drizzled mine with BBQ sauce), a medium-rare bacon grilled cheese burger, and a two-meat platter with two sides. Everything came out in a timely manner, the food tasted great, right temps, the sauces were fantastic, the server and food runner were on top of things, and drinks were kept filled! Everything was perfect from start to finish! We did not experience the noise some others have complained about, but they were not too terribly busy at this time.

This place is FANTASTIC! You almost don’t even need to read the rest of the review but if you do, here’s the skinny. Great service, Great food, super fun and home atmosphere. Saydee treated my party so well and brought out ALL their sauces for us to try. they even accommodated us after they closed. a highlight of our cross country road trip, thank you Jethro’s

Wanted some good bbq chicken. It was super dry, and unseasoned without bbq sauce. Even adding bbq sauce didn’t make it better. Gave me two of the same sides instead of what I ordered.

Place was amazing. Food was amazing. The waiter was the best! He gave some recommendations for off menu sauce combinations and they were awesome! Check this place out and hope you get the same server! Also come hungry!

great barbecue and great service. Madison did a great job with our table. I love the sandwiches as the ragin’ Cajun was outstanding. Mac and cheese and coleslaw were just average. I would recommend this place and I plan to try more dishes in the future.

Food was ready quickly but the quality was not good at all. Ribs were dry and flavorless. The chicken was chewy. I don’t like to leave bad reviews but that was hard to eat. At 40 dollars, that’s the most disappointed I’ve been in years.
