What an unexpected bbq find in tiny little Ripon. We were in town for an event at Ripon College…read moreand stumbled across J's. Thank goodness we did. You order/pay at the counter and then find a table to wait. The counter guy was quite personable and very well versed on the menu with excellent suggestions. Great decor inside and a small patio for those warm summer months. I ordered a two meat plate (pulled pork and sausage). This came with two sides (fries and mac & cheese). Talk about a lot of food. I was stuffed. Everything tasted great with that original bbq sauce flavor. What an unexpected surprise to find such a cool bbq joint in a quaint little community. I would drive out of my way for a return visit. Keep bringing the great service and great bbq J's.

A bit noisy on a Friday evening. Service was ok, order at the counter and took awhile to get our…read morefood; pulled pork sandwich and 3 piece chicken tenders. Menu said each cane with a side but when the bill came there was a separate charge for the side (a bit deceiving). There is a small discount if you pay cash. Wife loved the Mac & cheese slide and sandwich was very good, lots of meat. Tenders were very good but I did get 6 when I only ordered 3. The fries are flat, very thin, along the lines of potato chips and very very crispy. For what we got which is enough for another meal I thought the overall cost was high. We tried it but I'm not sure we will be back

Left totally satisfied and was in and out in 30 minutes. We were in a hurry. Brought friends back for dinner. They live in the area but had never been there. The ladies had pulled pork sliders with baked beans. My guy friend had perfectly smoked half rack of ribs along with 1/4 pound brisket with baked beans. I had the whole 1/4 brisket with baked beans and potato salad. Sides were fantastic. And those baked beans, I could eat a pail of them. Highly recommend without any reservations. My number one BBQ place in the Midwest. Can't miss, the food is superb and our waitress, Molly J was outstanding.

It was obvious to us that they were busy, and under staffed, we understand. However, instead of avoiding eye contact, at minimum they could say hi, and tell us they'll be with us as soon as they could. We probably would have stayed for drinks, but instead decided to leave. Basic customer service goes a long way.

Fantastic desserts too! You walk in, order your food, get a buzzer, get your drink and sit down. Your number buzzes and you go up to the window and get your food (you can carry out too - there are carry out bags available at the window). About a half dozen BBQ sauces to pick from. Super friendly staff. Craft beers available also. 5 stars, we're local so we'll be going here often this summer. I'm kinda sad they're not open in the winter.

One was the sweet potato fries, which were super delicious and the other was their homemade applesauce, which was absolutely amazing. They had lots of sauces on the table to choose from.

She was also just a really great waitress and super attentive. I would definitely recommend coming here.

We went on a Thursday night around 5. Plenty of space, there were only 2 other families there…read more Food 3/5: the ribs and brisket were dry and did not have much flavor. We got the end of the brisket they were currently cutting, so likely had been cut hours before and left which likely lead it to be dry. The chicken was ok, not much flavor and was on the drier side. The sausage was the best option we tried, good balance of flavor. The cornbread was also dry. The potato salad had good flavor. The Mac and cheese was the best thing we tried. I'd comeback for the sausage and Mac and cheese. Service 3/5: this is an order at the counter and sit down style. We had never been here before and overall did not feel helped when we were ordering. The staff just started at us and asked what we wanted instead of helping us walk through the steps of how to order (meat first and then you choose your sides). It got challenging because there was a growing line and many of us felt the same way of not really knowing what to order. I had to ask for extra plates for our kiddos, and was a little confused about extra condiments and things that were available in the restaurant. Ambiance 4/5: the restaurant was clean and plenty of places to sit. We were in the restaurant with another family with kids, and our kiddos ended up doing friendly dinosaur roads to the family across the restaurant. We all had a really good laugh. Overall most of the meat was dry but we liked some of the sides. The staff could have been more helpful in ordering. This is a kid friendly restaurant in our experience and had plenty of room to accommodate larger parties.

Tasted terrible - wish I would have just lit my $90 on fire so I'd at least get 15 seconds of enjoyment from it. Judge for yourself from the picture below. Pretty obvious this piece of brisket never came within a mile of a smoker or pitmaster. Run!
