Pretty good place, good vibe and great service. The chopped beef was good, not a lot of smoke flavor, my plate didn’t have much bark chopped in so that may have been why. The coleslaw was excellent as were the beans. I could’ve eaten a much bigger portion of both sides!

We were looking forward to some good BBQ, and we’re disappointed. The pork was dry and lacking in flavor. The potato salad was swimming in mayo and also lacked flavor. The coleslaw was ok but needed salt and pepper. None of the sauces on the table were labeled, and we had to guess to find a suitable BBQ sauce since the meat was so dry.

Had triple plate of pulled pork, beef, and ribs with fries and stew.

Hadn’t been in years. Fries were a little on the greasy side. The BBQ could do with a little more sauce, but still good.

This place is freaking AMAZING! and I’m not over exaggerating either. I don’t go here often as I am a college student and am very busy at school. But I always get the pulled pork sandwich with 12 oz of baked beans and 8 oz of banana pudding. The staff are friendly as can be and if I could give their food 20 out of 5 stars I would. Delicious and filling. ❤️ Definitely recommend.

Not a bad lunch spot. I’ll be back because it’s just down the street from my office.

The food was great, and the customer service was top-notch. The smoked wings were full of flavor, and my kids mixed the cole slaw with the chopped pork. I put the pork on a baked potato with some Brunswick stew on the side.

Decent food and portions are good, but it’s still not a great value. Pork is chopped and rather dry. Sides are very good. I eat there every couple months. NEVER get a to-go drink at the drive through as they fill it too full with ice so you get very little drink…an easy way to gain profit, no doubt, as well as a low down cheap and low class trick. So skip the fountain drink unless you can get it yourself and keep that $2 savings.

Johnny’s BBQ is the best! Their pulled pork, buns, baked beans, cole slaw, Brunswick stew, sauce, and banana pudding are fabulous!!! I haven’t tried anything else, but I will in the future! Their service and prices are excellent, also. All of the food I have tasted has been perfectly seasoned! I can’t wait to eat there again!

Excellent food. We stopped in with our Senior Adult group and everyone seemed to love it. I’ve been twice and would go again.
