    A local favorite for pit-smoked comfort in Van Buren, this casual barbecue joint serves up rich, savory meats crafted over real hardwood. Tender smoked brisket, pulled pork, fall-off-the-bone ribs, smoked sausage, baked beans, and potato salad headline the menu. A down-home, welcoming, laid-back atmosphere awaits.

    Food...well the " side" portions other than the fries are extremely small...which when you are paying $44 for two ppl...thats ridiculous!...and I ordered grilled onions on my burger paying extra and you could barely see them! Highly disappointed 😞 Then you pay overly priced for a soft drink that doesn't even have crushed ice just block ice you can get from your own refrigerator! I can't believe ppl do this...not worth the money

    ★★★★★ If you love good BBQ, **JC’s BBQ knows their way around a smoker—FER SURE!** These guys know how to do it right! Everything I’ve tried has been top shelf. **Beef, pork, chicken, smoked sausage, ribs—you name it!** The meat is smoked right, packed with flavor, tender, and absolutely AWESOME! You can tell these folks take their BBQ seriously and put some real time and care into what they’re serving. If you’re looking for legit, mouth-watering BBQ, **JC’s is definitely worth a stop!** Great food, great BBQ, and plenty of the smoke we LOVE! **Go hungry—you’re gonna love it!**

    Without a doubt, JC's has the best bbq in the area. Our family has been eating there for years. The pulled pork, brisket, cheeseburgers, fresh cut fries and smoked sausage are so good. They also have the best baked potatoes. We've never had a bad meal at JC's.

    bruh!! my god...going here was a mistake! i have heard rumors for a while about Jc's bbq and no lies were told. i am a sucker for burnt ends but unfortunately they were out. btw...ordered to go around 7, they close at 8. anyways, opted for the brisket plate w/ potato salad and okra. the g/f got a pulled pork platter w/ beans and okra. also order a pork belly sandwich w/ fries, and the brat, pulled pork sand w/ baked potato.gonna leave out her thoughts b/c for the longest, she thought mcdonald's chicken nuggets were the best chicken ever...so only time i've tender brisket like this was in kansas city but this was so much better. the cuts didn't have a lot of fat, super tender, moist...it's easy to screw up brisket. had the hot bbq sauce while i like hot, the brisket didn't need the extra. okra...was good not over/undercooked, like usual okra. now the tater salad is something else. couldn't stop eating it. almost wished i had gotten a double order instead of okra. pork belly sandwich - fries were home cut style, which i really like were good. wished they had some malt vinegar around and that would have been the topper. the pork belly had a jalapeno sauce w/ it and while it was good, next time i'll ask for no sauce. to me, took away from the taste of the pork belly which was fantastic! tender, just slightly chewy but not "burnt". i like my bacon like medium, some chew to it and the pork belly was just like that. the "fat" had no chew. bit right through it. i enjoyed the half sandwich i had, gonna save the rest for breakfast. pullled pork - both ladies liked the pulled pork they ate. wasn't dry or chewy, a hint of smoke flavor but not overwhelming. the baked beans were good. right amount of sweet w/ a slight twang to them. one kinda would liked her okra fried a little bit longer but still enjoyed them. never thought i would find a barbecue place closer to me than my favorite...well maybe second favorite barbecue place. but if you want great barbecue, within a short or long drive, head here. it's been a long while since i've had bbq this good. enjoy!
