This is the best barbeque in El Dorado and is a great local place to grab lunch. The meat tastes fresh and quality. The sauce is good as well.

Went there ONE time and that is the last time.!! I walked up to the counter where cash register is and tried to talk to a man, the owner, he immediately discounted me and walked away. I ordered the food, EXPENSIVE, and took home to...eat. I was SUBSTANDARD. I will NEVER eat there again. Don't wast your money.!!!!!!!!!!!!!More

Smoke fills the parking lot and street surrounding this ramshackle joint on Main Street, giving JJ’s an authentic guarantee. Inside it’s packed with gewgaws and people. The food itself, the actual draw, is rather dry and cool to the touch. Best bites: coleslaw and the...spicy bbq sauce, worst bites the brisket and smoked pork.More

How lucky was I? Stopped at JJ’s during travel thru town. Whimsical place with genuine people and atmosphere. Barbecue was spot on, perfectly smoked and the spicy sauce excellent. Sides were also delicious. Their home made fresh potato chips, were outstanding!!

This is a little bitty hole in the wall place. You order at the counter, make your own drink, and find a seat. They do charge a surcharge using a credit card. The food was really good. The fish was excellent. It's on my list...of places to try again!More
