The restaurant was somewhat empty when I arrived but it can definitely house a large group of people if needed. The ambiance is very causal and welcoming. The food came out quickly. I did enjoy my food, but the chicken was a bit dry and lacked something maybe some seasoning or needing something pickled. Regardless, I ate it all, the collard greens tasted good but way better in some vinegar. Overall, the experience was good and I enjoyed my food. I'm thankful I found something to eat in this town outside of fast or fried food. Maybe next time I'll try their ribs or wings, depending what it's fried in.

My family had pork sandwiches and liked them. I had the pork shoulder and it was okay. A bit dry and not a bunch of flavor. Don't get me wrong this place was a solid 4-star. The staff were very very nice and friendly. So again I give this a solid 4 stars and worth your visit.

Don't blink. If you do you might miss Capps BBQ, a small, hole-in-the-wall in Burkesville. We were…read moretold it was a must-eat by local legendary fishing guide Jonny Rush of Rainbow Guide Service and stopped by after catching trout on the Cumberland with him. Rest assured, this is good BBQ, even if it might look sketchy from the outside. For those looking for a nice, sit down, air conditioned spot, this isn't for you. There's one tiny table (seats two) inside and picnic benches outside, but this is what makes Capps so special. Locals enjoy the place. Value rules here. You can eat the farm for a fraction of what it would cost you at a sit down place in a major city. We couldn't believe how inexpensive it was. Meanwhile, keep in mind, your food comes in a Styrofoam container, not on fancy dishes. The menu is very small, too, but they focus on what they do well. And, do they do well. On a normal day local workers swing by here for lunch and can be seen chowing down on their food outside. I'd try their pork (it comes with BBQ sauce on it). And, remember it'll be vinegar based, but not as runny as you get east in North Carolina. We both had pork, so I can't comment on anything else. Meanwhile, their homemade desserts (saran wrapped) on the counter are very good, too! (And, be prepared. They have no sweet tea, just bottled water and Pepsi products. There's no fountain machine. Make sure to call ahead, too. They are open only certain days and odd hours. *Note: Cash Only

I never write reviews. However, this food experience is so horrible, I felt the need to warn…read moreothers not to waste your time or money. I've worked in food service for 30 years and been a lake goer for at least that long. The Jamestown Marina and Mama JJ in particular has lost our business forever. I also very rarely send food back or make a fuss or give a kitchen a chance to make it right. Today, on the lake the food was so stale and cold and the pork so hard and rubbery I hope we don't get food poisoning from the few bites we took trying it. It was not chewable and not swallowable. I asked the staff to make it right or for something else - they send me back an even worse entree that was even more cold and more stale ... I threw it in the trash. Here's a suggestion... if the customer asks or gives you the chance to make a bad experience better - try to do that and keep their business. Don't make it worse. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time with 5 employees. The server had to go get the cook from smoking hanging out on the dock and the other servers just stood around goofing off. We are retired and spend seven days a week on the lake in the summer. We spend a lot of money eating out on the lake. We will travel to the state dock, wolf creek or rowena or go hungry rather than give this place our money and business anymore.

You cannot not beat this place for size, price or flavors the ribyeyes are as big as the plates that they serve them on. I started off with their Jalapeño Poppers as a Appetizers, next was a traditional house salad which is the stand salad that you would expect any where. The Bib Bob Ribeye was the focus of today with the loaded potato. This was perfectly cooked medium-rare ribeye steak is characterized by a warm red center with a slight pink hue, a seared crust on the outside, and a juicy, tender texture, almost like butter, no need for steak sauce here. They offer a wide range of pie's as well including Chocolate, coconut and butterscotch. This place in invokes as warm, rustic atmosphere with the enticing aroma of smoky barbecue everywhere. That makes the place a inviting space for enjoying delicious barbecue. If you are in the area this place is definate stop you will not be sorry.
