| - We have stopped in the JB's for the delicious ice cream several times and were excited when the BBQ finally opened.
Stopped in with my husband not long after they opened and had some ribs. They were pretty good. Not the best ribs I've ever had but I would order them again. We liked the different sauces very much.
I kept seeing rave reviews for the brisket on FB so I decided to give it a try. It smelled heavenly in the store when I placed my order (I ordered 2 pounds of brisket, thinking that would be enough for 7 people, plus maybe leftovers). I was a little shocked by how much it cost, but then when the food is good I don't mind splurging occasionally.
When I got home and opened the bag my mouth was watering. Couldn't wait to taste that brisket! It didn't seem like we got 2 full pounds of brisket and it didn't seem like enough to feed 7 people, although the lady who took our order assured us it would be.
I couldn't wait to taste it. Didn't even bother getting a bun, just grabbed a fork and took a bite. I was SOOOOOOO disappointed. It was dry, tough and had little flavor. I thought, okay maybe that was a burnt end, I know a lot of people love that, but it's not exactly my favorite. Took another bite and nope, no taste, dry and tough. I can't tell you how sad I was to smell this amazing scent of brisket and to taste what I can only describe as old shoe leather.
We will be back for the amazing ice cream, but I won't be ordering the brisket.
