    First off...the girl behind the counter was friendly n helpful!! So rare in El dorado!! the inside of the joint was clean n had a lot of collectable they used to decorate. there was an aquarium that had a huge fish that was cool. right on the counter for sampling was fresh homemade chips. they reminded me of lays yellow bag pain chips. the Were great! we got our order to go. Richard got some BBQ nachos which came out in this huge cake box. Looked good but upon further inspection...there was only about two tablespoons of meat on entire thing. The homemade chips with jalepenos and shredded melted cheese and sour cream Were good but just not enough meat. now about my BBQ plate. being from TN.. I am particular about my BBQ. The meat was chopped not pulled. now I know they smoked the meat cause I saw smoke rolling out the smoke shack beside the restaurant... but the taste...I don't know. It tasted as if they added liquid smoke to everything. the meat...my beans. The slaw was fresh but was short on moisture. my potato salad was good but was different...wasn't chucks of potatoes but creamed potatoes with the skins just mixed in. all in all...one of the best places in El dorado but Sorry guys...come to Tn n try some real BBQ.

    Yelpers ya let me down on this one. Ordered the brisket and sausage plate. The sausage was ok but the brisket was totally dried out and tough. Potato salad was a soupy mashed concoction with way too much mayo. For $21 it was overpriced for much better BBQ elsewhere.

    I'm sorry to go with ok... based on my poor choice of picking the "chopped pork" sammy. The grissle and bits on the chopped pork just ruined my lunch for me. The sides were nothing special either. I may give the place another shot if I'm in town and try the ribs next... people seem to love them. Its kinda hidden, a locals place of blue collar hard working folks enjoying their chow in hunting style surroundings. The decor alone is worth a visit.

    Love JJs BBQ!!!! The food is excellent! Some things are a little pricey but totally worth it!!! My only complaint is that it's a very small building and they are usually packed so I suggest you order your food to go! But excellent good I suggest trying the blooming onion that's my favorite!!!

    Great bbq. Sauce is vinegar based but sweet and not smokey. I had rib plate with beans and potato salad. Ribs were HUGE but very tender. Atmosphere is very casual. Overall great experience.

    The food was mediocre at best. The ribs tasted boiled not smoked, and my husband swears the BBQ sauce is a mixture of ketchup, tomato paste and minced garlic. It was disappointing considering all the reviews we read before eating there. The best thing there was the homemade potato chips.

    Great bbq shack, tender meat and sauce is think for you bbq lovers who need to know. Spicy sauce is not hot just has flavor with minimal kick.

    When I arrived here I was really excited because outside of this place smells absolutely wonderful. When you walk in, turn left and you order at the counter. They give you cups and you get your drink & pick a place to sit. Make sure you keep your ticket because it has your Number that they call for the food on. So while sitting down we noticed this huge fish in the fish tank- was really cool & a beautiful fish but the tank was extremely dirty & looked too small for that fish which made me really sad. So we waited a little over 30 min for our food. People that sat down after us got their food before we did. The lady that brought the food out recognized it and asked us what we ordered and got on it. My boyfriends salad came out then shortly after our food came out. It looked and smelled great. I got the bbq nachos. But as I was eating the nachos it barely had any meat or bbq sauce. Do not make me wait that long for what is in appetizer and call them bbq nachos when almost zero bbq was found. The most exciting part about my meal was the sour cream. That shouldn't happen. My boyfriend got the ribeye and said it was ok. He told me he had been there before & the bbq chicken is really good. If I go back I will definitely get the chicken & update my review.

    Great BBQ place. Smells delicious as you walk in. I got the pulled pork sandwich and my husband got the rib sandwich. Sides were good too. We're not from the area and I'm glad we found this place. This was a good local find.

    I kept waiting for Guy Fierri to walk through the door at any minute. This place had the look and feel of an authentic smokehouse, the type of place where the junk on the wall isn't junk on the wall, but meaningful mementos. While the menu was a blur the food was top notch. The ribs and brisket were smokey, tender and flavorful. I prefer my ribs to be able to stand up without sauce. JJ's needed the sauce but the homemade spicy sauce didn't disappoint. Like many southern joints the drinks were over sweetened, but given the address it was understandable.

    As a Canadian recently settled in El Dorado with my husband I had a lot to learn about BBQ. Glad I am learning how wonderful it is at JJ's. The ribs are insanely good. Tender and flavorful you can still taste the meat rather than just smoke. I recently had a steak there and when I thought nothing could be as good as their ribs they surprised me all over again. The parking is limited but there is street parking available. The restaurant itself is a family style unpretentious wonderful ambiance. Make it a place to go for amazing food if you are in El Dorado.

    Great BBQ! Super nice staff, and the name is actually JJ's BBQ. I had the 3 meat combo and fried pie for dessert. This spot is not for dining just straight good eatin

    oh my god I don't know where all these people are from who gave this restaurant a great review! I'm from California and it's just not how we do it out there. I got rib tips and those are the worst I ever had , they were hacked so badly. my sides were potato salad and coleslaw, the potato salad was mushy in had way too much vinegar and the slaw was to sweet, just okay . the only good thing about this place was people real friendly and the sweet tea was good therefore the 2 stars . will never go there again

    First stop in El Dorado, AR and based on reviews here tried out JJ's. I had a 3 meat combo and all the meat was very tender and moist. The sauce was needed for flavor but an excellent sauce. I arrived just before closing and the sides weren't as appealing. But the staff made up for it with their extremely friendly and helpful service. Would definitely come back again.

    BBQ places come and go in this area of the south, but JJ's has been a constant for me since I was a little girl growing up in El Dorado. Rich and flavorful sauce with a little kick but not too much vinegar is a great complement to their wide variety of smoked meats. JJ's brisket was present at many an informal family gathering in my youth, served simply with white buns and potato salad or baked beans. I've spent hours daydreaming about their tender, sticky ribs after I moved north of BBQ country. With all the newcomers sprouting up a BBQ war is brewing in Lower Arkansas, and I stand by the classic.

    I'm surprised there isn't a review of this yet. I have to travel to Eldo from time to time and try to make this at least one of my regular stops for either lunch or dinner. They have great brisket and ribs. They offer combo meals where you can choose 2 or 3 meat items along with sides. They offer homemade style potato chips by the register to munch on while waiting to order. Parking is very restricted but it is available on the street down the block. Cars move in and out as many customers come in for take-out. They even have their own generators when the power goes out. I went there during a storm and they were still serving (except for toast).
