Jimmy Jo's BBQ: Reviews & Ratings
Best brisket I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to Nashville TN. Plus good prices, amazing sweet potato and perfectly sweetened sweet tea!! Will come back again.
We heard that they had a giant loaded baked potato special and it was a done deal that we had to try it. I am a picky eater when it comes to meat so I was happy to know that there was a turkey option for a potato topping!! My husband had a pulled pork sandwich with a brisket loaded potato and the spicy BBQ sauce, while I had a simple garden salad and their 'Sweet Chicago' sauce. I was very happy with my food, as it was just the right amount and no leftovers to take home. The price was decent for the two of us. As a big fan of baked potatoes its nice to have this option locally available. I will have to return and try their 'award winning' chili sometime.
Today I had a full rack of ribs, it's the Friday special. Loved it, very good ribs, it came with two sides I had the BBQ beans and the coleslaw, too many of ribs for me. I took 1/3 home.
Wow, an excellent BBQ choice with all the options and sides. We got perfect little tacos, the Carolina pulled pork and slaw sandwich was like a piece of art, and the diced ranch potatoes were the best side I’ve ever had. Desert of Pecan pie and a cow chip ice cream cookie sandwich hit the spot.
Great Texas BBQ. Baked potatoes, Slow cooked Green beans, Texas style BBQ beans. Try the combo of Brisket, Pulled Pork, Smoked Chicken, and Hot Link Sausage, with two sides.
One of the best places in the Kankakee area to eat. Michelle is a wonderful person and cares about her customers. She gives the best service and the ribs are so tender. Not to mention how good the brisket sandwiches are. I will go back again and again. Love this place.
Just had their ribs and chicken special for lunch. Great Ribs and awesome side of potatoes.
We got our thanksgiving day turkey and it was by far the best turkey we’ve ever had. The dark meat literally just pulled apart. Thank you so much for the stress free day by doing this service.
