Good delicious bar b Que food. Well established in this community & well lived & popular. Prices seem same as at other restaurants.

BEST RIBS EVER! Well, Yelp! did it again. I was passing through Henderson and looked for highly rated restaurants...among them was J & B, so I decided to give it a try. And I was not disappointed by my experience. J & B is located in a small, non-descript building in a primarily residential neighborhood, but the food makes a BIG statement! The ribs are large, meaty and extremely tender with a nice smoky flavor (but not too much). They are literally as good as any ribs I've ever had anywhere. If you like ribs, you need to try these! The ribs weren't the only exceptional menu items either. The homemade potato salad also had great taste and texture. It was 1/2" chunks of redskin potatoes with a flavorful blend of sour cream, Dijon mustard and maybe a little mayo(?) - moist and tasty but still a firm rather than mushy texture - just like I like it! And the baked beans were bursting with flavor and had thin strips of BBQ pork meat in them. My only criticism of the beans would be the small serving size. Just to be clear, I'm not a guy that always defaults to baked beans and potato salad as the dudes at a BBQ place - so my compliments had to be earned...and they were! The only item that wasn't exceptional was the pork, which was good but not great. It had nice chunks and small pulled pieces of meat but was smothered in BBQ sauce. My opinion is that great BBQ meat should stand on its own, whether you want it with or without sauce. This meat may be great, but it's hard to know because the sauce dominated the serving I got. The other reason for my 5-star rating is the prices. I ordered the combo that included two meats (I chose pork and 2 ribs and my choice of 2 sides) and paid less than $9.50 including tax. I eat good BBQ at lots of places and this is a LOT cheaper than anywhere else I've been lately for this amount & quality of BBQ & sides! You won't go here for ambience but if you're looking for great BBQ and trimmings, you should give this place a try! read more

Want to go to a bbq restaurant that feels like home, then go here. This has been the best bbq I've found in Henderson so far. I love getting a whole chicken to go because it's amazing! Today I went with something I haven't had there (pulled pork). I've tried everything but the brisket and the desserts (not big on sweets). The brisket is next on my wish list. They have one bbq sauce and it's a really good one. It's not too spicy or too sweet, I usually ask for an extra container to take home for leftovers and they make it happen. I'm new to the area, but this is definitely one of my favorite places. read more

What is that you say? You don't like styrofoam? Well, that too darn bad! Because everything you will consume at J & B Barbeque is going to be served up on some of the best styrofoam that Kentucky has to offer. Where else can you get an entire sample of everything the joint has to offer for under $8.00? I am used to paying upwards of $15.00 for such saucy piles of meat. The potato salad is so good, you would swear it was made by a gourmet chef. The beans are not the high-point of the meal, and neither is the white bread. Too bad they cannot toast that bread, and dare I say--- even add some garlic and butter to it. Sure, they are heavy-handed with the black pepper shaker--- But, the butter basted BBQ chicken is worth coming back for over and over again. After tasting everything, the chicken is by far the best. Try anything else and don't blame me for the outcome. They will look at you like you are crazy when you ask for a side of sauce, but it is so worth it. The sauce is sweet and thick, but with a slight vinegar kick. Also, heavy on the black pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Don't drive over the bridge for this stuff. But, if you happen to be in town, you might want to give them a try. read more

Delicious barbecue! They have awesome redskin potato salad! Literally my favorite recipe of potato salad ever! It's sweet...very southern tasting! Delicious ribs! read more

What a great little unassuming barbecue place. The chicken was by far my favorite. Delicious, moist, and the skin was awesome. I also give them some props for their tangy sauce - it's a little "edgier" than anywhere else nearby. The pulled pork was pretty good and came in a fair amount of sauce - so it was bun ready. I though the ribs were really fatty, but decent and the beans were lacking. They need some tang! read more

I was torn between a 3 and 4 star rating. I went with 3 as the portion of bbq was not that large. I have the chicken plate my buddy had the sampler platter. I am very choosey about bbq. I have eaten bbq in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, Owensboro and White bbq in Decatur, Al. This was good, the 1/2 chicken was small. Cole slaw was good. read more

This place was one of my favorite in town so yummy! I loved the ribs & potato salad or bbq chicken, homemade dessert but don't really know with new owners. I only went once since they took over and I wasn't impressed but maybe by not they are doing better! read more

Small clean and friendly. This place is popular with locals, it was busy when I was there for lunch. The barbecue here is tangy, not sweet like the bbq I'm used to in Evansville. I liked the pulled pork sandwich but the baked beans didn't do anything for me. The ribs looked good, I'll have to try them the next time I'm here. read more

The food here is amazing! If it's your first time go for the sample platter. It will fill you up and give you a great idea of what they offer. I personally like the pulled pork and a side of beans. The waiters are friendly and the service is fast. read more

The finest BBQ that I've ever eaten! I adore the pulled pork! But you can't go wrong with anything that's on the menu but be sure you get a pint (or more!) of the Baked Beans as they're to dip for and I'm not crazy about baked beans except for their baked beans! read more

This place is a definite gem ... As you look for the joint, don't be thrown off that's in a neighborhood of single family homes. ... Awesome food ... Nice folks ... Incredible prices. I had the sampler platter with pulled pork, a rib and some turkey (it was too cold to make the pit chicken) and it was absolutely tasty. This place could go head to head with any bbq joint. read more

J & B Barbecue & Catering - Sampler platter with turkey in lieu of the pit chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Henderson, Kentucky

The BBQ is the best. You have to try LuLu's Potato Salad. She leaves the skin on the potatoes and it gives the salad a very unique flavor. Only slight improvement I can see has nothing to do with quality of food. I would like to see more small food establishments have less dependence and on styrofoam. read more

Food is good. Like really good. But the staff is kind of rude when they are busy or if you are a door dash driver and they are busy. Basically when they are busy they get irritable And take it out on the customers. I don't even deal with them personally anymore if I'm gonna order it's through door dash so I don't have to deal with the staff. read more

Best barbecue in town love them great people great food. That's all you need is a little small town.

Best barbecue in Henderson!!! Love the ribs and their potato salad isn't like any other!!! It's delicious! And very friendly people there! You get a roll of paper towels at your table to clean up after getting their yummy sauce all over your hands and face!! Wish they were open on Sundays and Mondays!! Just drive by it on Washington St and the smell alone will make you want to stop and try it!! read more

off the beaten path, but worth the detour. this place was suggested by a local. some of the most tender ribs i've ever had. and ribs are one of my own specialties! the potato salad was absolutely insane - big chunks of red potato with the best dressing i've ever tasted. the cole slaw was equally excellent - just the right combination of tang & sweetness. everything we tried (ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken) was moist, tender, expertly smoked and perfectly seasoned. don't forget the great sweet tea! we'll be back!!! read more

Best BBQ place HANDS DOWN! The hours are weird but thats my only complaint. Their ribs are to die for

Very good! Moved away from Henderson years ago but constantly come back to visit family. On our last visit my husband stumbled upon J & B and asked to try it out. His "trying it out" consisted of buying one of nearly everything on the menu... Can't think of one item someone did not like. All were great, some better than others but all good. I'm sure this will be a MUST-stop for my husband during each family visit now! read more

Simply the best! The hardest part is deciding what to get, because it's all so guess. Your best bet is a little of everything. If you want to see the real deal in action, just walk out back of the shop to the pit. I you get there early enough you can see the pros John and Barry in action; but don't interrupt their flow, they're making magic happen. read more

This by far is the best BBQ place in Henderson or Evansville. You will not be disappointed with the food or price. If you are looking for someplace different to try this is it. read more

trying the mutton today but everything we got last time (we did a few sampler plates) was fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy. the flavors were wonderful and makes my mouth water just remembering it. we tried a few sides too and regardless of what you order, make sure you get the homemade potato salad. it's THE BEST! the people who work here are friendly and the guys (j & b) are great. it's off the main drag but definitely worth the trip. yum! read more

i eat there everytime i go to henderson, have eaten at thomasons,moonlite.peak bros but j-b is the real deal i would highly suggest it good prices good grub read more
