I am not a local, only for work purposes. The only time I've dined at this restaurant was for a company lunch outing...anywho! I personally think this is the second-best BBQ in Macomb county (Bad Brads being in 1st place). I've always gotten the pulled pork sandwich, it is tender and flavorful but when you pair it with the apple BBQ sauce - amazing! I LOVE their BBQ chips, they are so tasty with a good blend of smokey and tangy flavors. I would just got back for the chips. Every time I've visited this restaurant, the service has been good with friendliness and attentiveness. Once the food is order, it comes out quickly, you're not waiting years for it! The only downside (two) I would share that doesn't give this place a 5-star review would be that each time I've visited, the bottom bun of the pulled pork sandwich is soggy (which I cannot stand and grosses me out) and the facility is cold (during the cold months). Overall, I enjoy my visits to Jayell's and the service. I'd most definitely recommend this place to friends and family members. read more

My husband wanted to go here for his birthday so we decided to check it out. This place was packed on a Saturday night. It's a small place but definitely worth the wait! Service was excellent and staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent! We will absolutely be back! read more

Authentic barbecue small town business what else can I say? Oh and the prices are better than fair. no need to order chain food carry out when you have an authentic quality Restaurant right here in your hometown! #supportromeo read more

Got the two meat entree....pulled pork and chicken. Both were tasty and tender. My coleslaw was one of the best I've ever had. I also got cornbread "bake." This didn't impress me. It seemed doughy and dense. I couldn't help but wish they would have just given me traditional cornbread. Great beer selection helped make this place a return to destination. read more

I stopped in today for lunch and the tacos were amazing. I tried several of their sauces but the Chipotle and Ghost Pepper were my favorites. The only reason I haven't been there more often is that it isn't too close to home. Service each visit has been friendly and prompt. I only stopped in for lunch so I wasn't able to take advantage of their extensive beer selection. Next time I am over there I will make sure it is after work. Parking is still very limited but I was able to find a spot with no problem. read more

Jayell Smoke House - Burnt End Tacos - Smokehouse Near Me - Romeo, Michigan

The best bbq/comfort food I have had in a long time! The burnt ends were delicious and a great app to share with others. Also decided to get one of their faygo adult beverages (can't remember the name) chose the rock and rye and it was also not too sweet and very good. The star of the show was the bbq shepherd's pie with the cornbread and smoked mac and cheese and we got it with the most tender brisket. I had a couple bites and knew this would be a dish that I will think about weeks later and wish I lived closer to this restaurant. It was a combination I never thought of but it was a symphony of deliciousness. The very close second amazing entrée was the brisket burrito containing the most tender brisket, flavorful baked beans and the richness of the mac and cheese. If you are going to try them out, don't sleep on these two items, you can't go wrong! We came with a big group and our two servers were on top of it all! The manager came to check on us and everything was just on point. Also wish they would have the Alabama white sauce on the table with the other sauces. It was amazing on a salad and in the burrito but you will have to ask for a side of it. Anytime I am near romeo I will definitely be going back! I do wish they had more parking availability but besides that this place is a must try! You won't regret it. read more

This is the third visit in the last month and I think it will be our last. Normally the brisket comes out cut thin, glistening, and you can pull it apart with your fingers. Today it came out thickly cut, grey and could barely cut it with a fork. The Mac and cheese was basically cooked pasta with hardly any cheese. The smoked sausage normally has good color, this did not. If we didn't have guests, I would have sent it back. We both ordered the same meats and have the same complaints. Very disappointed. read more

This place is amazing! I travel all over the country and frequent BBQ restaurants. This is the best of the best. Service nailed it! The ambiance walking in was perfect! They had their sauces lined up on display and that had me eager to try them. The sauces were delivered to the table in a 6-pack container... that's classy. The sauce containers were well labeled along with a heat sauce. Smart!! The manager stopped and asked how the food was and didn't just do a fly-bye avoiding eye contact. The owner stopped by and asked us how the food was. Totally impressed with the juicy brisket, burnet ends, BBQ nachos, brisket Mac & cheese, homemade potato salad was fresh & yummy, smoked chicken wings are seasoned perfectly and juicy. I recommend to make a drive for this place. read more

Decided to try this place for the brisket that a friend recommended. Went 10/28 it was busy and that is usually a good sign that food is good. Since it was Saturday we did expect a wait. Came in and was told the wait was a hour. We put our name in and my husband and I already knew what we wanted. (Neither of us eat pork and made sure the brisket was beef. I get terrible gI pains and get so sick from anything pork) We get seated in 50 minutes so that was a plus. Then sat at a table 15 or so minutes without anyone coming to our table. Finally the hostess came up and said @Has anyone come to your table yet"? We replied no. Then the waitress came over. Starts out with we are out of a few things..... Wings, something else and all items with brisket. I tell her "Well, that's about 70% of your menu. I can't eat pork or anything with pork in it and what else is there besides chicken"? I think she said some kind of turkey. I really think if a restaurant is out of that many things on their menu they should inform you and let you decide if you want to stay or leave when you check in. We would've made the choice to leave. I order the chicken burrito and made a point of saying nothing with pork on it. I get asked if I want the salsa or queso? I said queso. My husband orders the chicken street taco. I order a drink and they are out of an ingredient. At this point I'm ready to leave and just go somewhere else. I decided to just order the rum punch. He orders a beer. She comes with the drinks and the rum punch was good. Food comes out in a timely manner. She sits down the queso and said you probably don't want that because it has pork in it would you like the salsa instead? Yes, please was my reply. The waitress was busting her butt the whole time and I didn't see anyone else helping her. Plus she took the time to remember I'm allergic to pork. My husband said his chicken street tacos had absolutely no flavor. My burrito was good after I put some chipotle honey sauce on it. I told him this has a really strange flavor it's like baked beans. Sure enough it does have their baked beans in it and I'm 1000% sure they are cooked in or with some pork. I got sick before we even left the restaurant. I am so sick today and been living in the bathroom. The restaurant itself is nice the waitress was amazing and the wait was less than they said. Other than that I don't have anything positive to say. Would I come back? No, I can find good brisket elsewhere. read more

From the road this place looks like it would be a hit, walking you are greeted right away and seated very quickly. the service staff where extremely nice and our orders where taken right away. The food portions are smaller the normal. Getting the food and tasting it was just okay I'd prefer to eat at bad brads but maybe I just got a off night read more

My husband fell in the parking lot on the way in. He is a big guy on a walker. The bartender came out to help him up and so did a guy from the pizza place. Very helpful! We went in and had dinner. Food was good. Great service. When we were done the bartender came over and said dinner was on him. Wow! read more

The GM/owner could care less about customers. Google says hours are open till 10pm but the kitchen closes at 8? At 8:45pm when we wander in, cooks are in the kitchen, a waitress is answering the door, and a line of guys are drinking at the bar - but don't scold them for Google saying hours are open until 10pm. And he could care less if I return? Noted! read more

Super happy this place finally opened! The atmosphere was great! The food was excellent! Didn't do 5 stars only because the BBQ sauces were a little runny and we like them on the thicker side. Onion rings were crispy and the cornbread bake was super tasty! read more

Horrible experience. Wait staff was great! Assistant Manager Brandon was rude and unprofessional. We complained that food was not hot. His reply was that is the proper temperature at which to serve BBQ. Said he knows what is correct, and walked away from us still being verbally abusive. We decided to leave and pay for what we consumed, and he yelled at us in front of all other customers that we were going to pay our bill!!! Will never visit this place again! Felt sorry for the wait staff who did a good job. Not their fault we left. read more

Best BBQ with great portions. Went here with a group a friends and sat outside and everything was awesome. Food and portions are incredible, Olivia took care of us and was awesome.. Definitely a spot to sit down and enjoy yourself rather than looking for a quick in and out service but would highly recommend for everyone to try this place out, will be back soon! read more
