There is so much space in the front with cornhole boards or just to hang out. When we walked In I could tell this was going to be amazing BBQ. Writing on the walls and chairs, menus board hanging on the wall and daily specials written on chalk boards. Or orders were quickly taken by a very efficient hostess the. We grabbed a seat. I ordered brisket and pork with collards and cobbler. My wife ordered the same with the grits and my son had the side of Mac and cheese with his brisket. The brisket slices were think and it was really well cooked. The pork was awesome but the sides were out of this world. Every single one of them was perfect. There were four BBQ sauces to choose from, Eastern NC style, hot, mild and mustard. I am not a huge fan of mustard BBQ (I'm from NC, IYKYK) but I'll say this was the best I had. The hot was my favorite and it had just the right amount of heat. For those that may be concerned about the description of the writing on the walls and divey spot don't be. The place was clean and very nice. The health rating was great and it was a really nice place.

However, the server who offered them took our ticket and ghosted us completely. Never even saw again anywhere. A half hour after we sat down another server showed up with our food, which they somehow messed up. My friend ordered the kids pulled pork sandwich with a side of coleslaw and a banana pudding. They brought the coleslaw ON the sandwich instead of a side of coleslaw. Explained it to waitress number 2 who took the sandwich back to get it corrected and bring us some pork rinds. A couple mins later reappeared with pork rinds and a kids pulled pork sandwich with the coleslaw on the side - like a 1 oz bbq sauce size plastic cup of coleslaw, not a side order of coleslaw. My friend just shook her head and let it ride because now it was almost 45 mins after we sat down. Our receipt wasn't itemized so we couldn't even check to see what we were charged for. The bbq is still great at this location, but the service was not last night.

Tony ordered 6 Ribs w sides of Baked Beans and Mac n Cheese! I took a bite of each!! They were delicious and homemade but I'm dieting.

First off I attempted to order a half chicken & was told they don't serve them until after 1pm. After 1pm? Lunch is dying off by 1 o'clock, in Texas most BBQ joints sell out by 1 oclock if not you're stuck with whatever is left. Secondly, I ordered Brisket. In Texas we ask "Lean or Fatty" I wasn't asked that here which I thought was odd. So I watched the young lady cut the brisket, there wasn't a drop of juice on the cutting board & she tried to cut off the fat and not offer it to me! WHAT!?!?!? I ordered a half pound of sausage and got some super dry...I don't even know if I'd call it sausage. I will just because I don't want to be disrespectful. But it tasted horrible & no cheese in your sausage? You need a fat in sausage to prevent it from being dry! Also ordered a pint of the Brisket Chili...Such a sad attempt at Chili. Tasted like tomato sauce. Sadly it was the moistest thing I paid for. I'll never go back nor will I ever recommend CJ's. Wow, I'm ashamed.

The meat has amazing flavor, is moist, and just right on tenderness. Clearly visible smoke rings from the massive smoke house building. The ribs cling, but easily pull clean off the bone, and still have texture and body - signs of a true pit master! You seriously don't need any sauce - but all 4 of the house made sauces are full of flavor and perfectly compliment the meats. The sides are equally amazing!! As my companion said "oh yeah, THIS is how southern Mac and Cheese should be!" The baked beans, bbq coleslaw, and baked potato were all fantastic. They make a thick, white, creamy, garlicky, ranch type sauce, called "Shack Sauce" that comes poured over the baked potato. Shack sauce is addictive to be honest. As if the food wasn't enough to make you come back - the people are fantastic too!! This is THE place for legit BBQ in Greenwood!!

I ordered a family meal that included: 1 lb pulled pork 1 lb smoked turkey 1 qt baked beans 1 qt green beans 1 gallon tea 24 count white rolls A bottle of sauce Plus I added a half rack of ribs to my order. All of that came to just over $53. I can't overstate how blown away I was with the flavors in the meat and sides. The quality of cook and smokiness of the meats was top notch. Just as good as the meats, you could tell right away that there are no shortcuts taken on the sides. My only complaint was that I went too late and they were out of brisket. You better believe I'll be going back for some soon. Now I know where to get my BBQ fix in the heart of Greenwood.

Right away, the service stands out. We were greeted and immediately offered a sample of brisket, which set the tone. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the ordering process has a really smooth, well thought out flow that keeps things moving without feeling rushed. We sat on the covered patio, which was clean, comfortable, and a great place to enjoy a meal. Now, the food. This is where it really shines. I'm a bit of a BBQ aficionado, so I'll be a little nitpicky, but none of this takes away from how great it was overall. The brisket was phenomenal. We tried both lean and fatty--both were excellent. If I had to critique anything, it leaned slightly salty, but the bark, smoke, and overall flavor were outstanding. The pulled pork was just as impressive. Tener, moist, and packed with flavor, with no wasted bits. The Texas sausage was incredibly flavorful, though slightly on the mealy side texturally. That said, the green chile cheddar sausage was an absolute standout. Loaded with flavor, chiles, and cheese. A must-order. The sides were the only area that didn't quite keep pace with the meats. The beans were a bit undercooked and lacking depth of flavor. The slaw was fresh and well-balanced, but not particularly memorable. The corn pudding was solid, but again, nothing that stood out. The sauces also deserve some recognition. All four were fantastic, each with its own unique profile. Honestly, I could've just sat there sampling them on their own. They paired perfectly with different meats and added another layer to the experience. Overall, this is an incredible BBQ spot. While it may not quite reach the level of some top tier Texas joints, it absolutely rivals them and stands out as one of the best you'll find outside of Texas.

When I came in, there was no line which was amazing! They let you sample the meats before you get it. You gotta get the brisket! Literally the best brisket I've ever had. I sampled a burnt end piece and fell in love lol The brisket was so juicy, tender and well seasoned. It had a nice crispy crust and just melts in your mouth. The pork ribs were also very good! The crust was so good. The meat didn't quite fall off the bone but was still delicious! The fries were also perfectly crispy, hot, and balanced out the bbq well. They have plenty of seating bunch of picnic tables outside and quite a few tables inside. They also have a bar inside. I wish I lived closer so I could come back more lol I'll definitely have to shop by again next time I'm in the area.
