Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Might would have liked it, but nowhere on the menu board did it say that they put Cole slaw on the bbq pork sandwiches. I guess I’ll never know how the bbq is.

I have called upon JJ’s twice on behalf of a charity organization that I represent to cater BBQ and sides. Both times, they exceeded expectations. The service was outstanding, the food was ready on time, the price was extremely reasonable, and the food was great....Thank you, JJ’s and thank you Julie!More

Pro's = Fairly priced, convenient & fast service. A few nice tables outside with umbrellas. Also has a drive through. Con's = Rack of ribs was dry, so were the pulled pork sandwiches we ordered. Fried Okra was bland. Mac N Cheese wasn't anything special....My daughter asked for a "soda" when ordering and the young lady at the counter laughed at her. Wouldn't go back being that there are other options in the area available.More

I got the lunch special, a half potato with pork. It was a good amount of food, and the pork had good smoky flavor. I wasn't crazy about their sauces, but then I don't care for sweet BBQ sauce. They have a vinegar sauce that...was pretty good, and they have an Alabama sauce.More

We got off Interstate 65 to find JJ's and drove miles to get there...my husband thought I was making it all up. But this place is worth it. It's a little house turned into a restaurant. I had the daily lunch special, 5.72, a half...loaded potato (topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon and bbq pork). It was huge! and delicious! Could have been enough for two because I couldn't eat it all. Also included a drink. My hubs had the beef bbq sandwich, side of cole slaw and a drink for 7.99. He said it was very good but he thought my potato was way better! The eating area is small but there's outside seating and the drive-through was constantly busy. The food here is really good.More

I absolutely love coming here to get my lunch. I’ve always had take out. So I can’t review dining there. But their food is delicious. I usually get their pulled pork on their potato. It is large and can easily feed 2 people. I usually...eat half and save half for the next day. Their prices are comparable to other BBQ joints in the area. The staff is nice too. They always smile.More

Found JJ's through Trip Advisor. It is located in a small house. There are a few tables inside and a few tables outside. It does appear they have a busy drive-thru business.The pork was very good, along with the chicken salad sandwich. They offered a...lunch special of a half BBQ Baked Potato that looked delicious...and large. Too full to attempt any desserts.More

I ordered BBQ for 40 people to take to a party. It was ready when I wanted it. And everybody enjoyed it. We try to eat here at least once a month and we all love it.

If you love BBQ and are in Columbia, TN, then JJ's is worth the stop over. Their BBQ sauce is super tangy and good. I wasn't a huge fan of the potato salad though, but maybe that's just personal preference.

My husband and I stopped here while stopping by Columbia. We decided to stop here. There is a nice porch with several nice covered tables. It is a converted house and feels cozy. Service was pleasant. The French fries and onion rings were good. The...Pork BBQ was cold, tasted dry and had some tough, chewy pieces.More
