Love the atmosphere. The ribs were great. 1/2 rack of ribs and two sides were plenty filling for me. Quick service and very friendly.

I've been going there for years for their ribs and brisket and J&J's are the best. I just came back from Texas and ate at (3) four star rib joints and J&J blows them guys away. I was worried when they expanded that the quality would drop off, but they actually added menu items and have shorter lines and way more seating. You owe it to yourself to get to J&J barbeque - put it on your bucket list! The great service and family atmosphere/ownership (Hi, Kris!) is truly special.

Great BBQ Spot! The best BBQ I have ever had and the service was great. If you are on the fence, make the trip down to JJ’s, it will not disappoint.

We stumbled on this gem of a place and it is worth going out of your way for! The ribs were fall of the bone tender and delicious, chicken juicy and flavorful, all of the sides were great too! We almost tried to get everything on the menu and ate it all! Plenty of dining area, prompt cordial service. Why you’re here make sure to check out grandpas saloon in the back, and they will bring your food to you back there!

All around great BBQ; we're yet to have a bad meal here. We live about an hour from here and it is certainly worth the trip. Meats are tender, fall off the bone style BBQ. If you are a sauce fan, they have great ones to choose from. We came in as a large group (12) for lunch and we were able to order quickly. Food came in a reasonable amount of time. There is a full bar on the premises, if you care to partake.Lots of seating, old signage on the walls, and delicious BBQ.

A couple weeks ago, J & Js caught my eye while driving through Nelson on our way to The Potter's Place in Pepin (it is awesome...thanks Anna!). The image of J&Js stuck with me throughout the day & into the next & so my brothers , my son & I decided to head back to Nelson to give it a try. On the way, we read reviews. That guy who said he drove 3.5 hours just for another meal? I thought he had to be fulluvit. NO way it could be THAT good. That is because I'd lost hope in ever finding ribs that are meaty & truly "fall off the bone." Sorry for doubting you Dale, you were 10000% correct! I would drive 3.5 hours for J & Js, absolutely. The shrimp, the ribs, the pork...all three are HANDS DOWN, the best ive ever had, anywhere, EVER. The beans & mac & cheese are delicious as well. We went back another time & ordered take out. While we waited, our lil guy ate a big ice cream cone scooped by the lovely waitress we had both times. We left with a hefty portion of pulled pork, shrimp, & ribs which we ate the next three days & never got sick of it. The food was just as good as the first time. I can't stop thinking about it 😂 SERIOUSLY though. Just SO SOO good. & we didn't even get sick, none of us...just a rush of energy from the nutrition in that high quality protein. It was GREAT QUALITY & COOKED/GRILLED TO PERFECTION. YUM. Just go there. You are missing out if you have never been. 🧡

It was only a week ago that we were here for the first time. Had ribs and catfish. Loved it so much that we drove 3-1/2 hours back down here last night so we could have another meal here. I love ribs, I've tried them all over. These are the best! Better than anything I found in the south.We just had ribs and wings, the wings are now my favorite wings. I'm going to have to buy a house nearby.Finished eating and now enjoying a glass of Rye in the bar. I've never seen such a selection of whiskey!Julie was awesome both times , the bartender treated us like royalty. Love this place.Update, three times now, mmm

*updated* Still great in 2024!Stopped here a few times on motorcycle rides. On point with quality food; ribs are seasoned perfectly for my taste. sides are fresh and well done. Full bbq menu. Wide variety of craft soft drinks. Service is outstanding, dining room and service areas have been noticeably clean each visit; regardless of volume of diners... Grandpa's saloon is their full bar and the experience there was excellent as well.

The Fred’s BBQ Nachos are amazing! Hubby had Ethan’s pork smothered spuds with beans on top and they were amazing as well. Would definitely return to try the ribs!

The baby back ribs were not fresh! Needed a hack saw to get themapart forget about chewing them. I really should have sent them back. At least tell the customer they aren't fresh giving them the choice to order or not. I regret not speaking up at the time. The sauce was good !
