Hospitality and Customer service are not dead! They are alive and well at CJ’s! From the time we walked in to the time we left, we were treated like esteemed guests. From taking the time to answer our questions about the menu, to providing my pup with some water and a special treat I felt like I was some sort of VIP.

Great little stop for BBQ. Definitely not in my top BBQ places, however made for a good lunch in an area with few options. Lots of sauces to try. The baked beans were very good. Unfortunately they were out of Mac and Cheese the day we visited.

Mr. Joyner has been a vendor in my community where I plan events and was the caterer for my sons graduation party. I intentionally supported him as a black owned business. He was professional, courteous and the food is really good. My residents requested he return to the community and my family enjoyed each dish that was served at the graduation party. By comparison the prices are a tad on the high side but worth it !

Had a great experience and possibly some of the best bbq I have had. We stopped in, got their half rack rib and 2 sides special as well as a few wings. The wings were perfectly crispy, the ribs were tender, the sauces delicious, the sides were amazing too, and great service. Great value too. Was around $17 per person and I had more food than I could possibly eat. Next time I’m in town I plan on stopping back by.

We stopped and got lunch to-go and when we got ready to eat our nachos the chips were stale. We ran back over there and they were SO apologetic and immediately fixed us a new order and even threw in a pineapple banana pudding! That customer service makes me wanna go back again and again! We got the nachos, fried pickles, wings with Cheerwine BBQ sauce and hog rolls, and everything was delicious! But the wings are where it’s at! OMG so good! Thanks Chad and family, everything was amazing! Can’t wait to eat there again!

A 5 Star review isn’t enough for this business. I would give them 10/5 if possible. They had an extremely friendly staff that was very efficient and took care of our 13 person party. The food was excellent and the dessert was even better! Thank you guys so much!
