Back Yard Bar-Be-Cue

I actually really like this place, but I always get the BBQ chicken baked potato (so not really BBQ) It is delicious and anytime I am in Jackson I try to stop by and get it. The onion loaf is also good, but very greasy. Friendly people who work here. It is kind of a generic BBQ place décor wise, but for me, it’s solid. Good for big groups and families too! FYI they don’t serve alcohol.

Delicious stuffed backed potato!

Disgusting.
I had to actually spit out my food because it was nothing but a mouth full of squishy disgusting fat. My ribs were just bones and the potato was hard and cold. Really disappointing service. Paid $ 30 for a meal that didn’t hold up to the quality of Burger King.
Save yourselves now. Go somewhere else!

My routine when I visit a new place and possibly a place I’ll not be able to return to is to try as many of the meats as I can. On this trip I ordered ribs, pork and my favorite sausage. Added potato salad and baked beans as normal and had banana pudding to finish.
Obviously too much food to eat.
The ribs were overcooked. Taste was ok, not horrible but nothing that jumps out at you. I ate one bone, knew I had more food to eat and stopped at that one bone.
The pulled pork was again nothing very special and way too much sauce on it. That’s their thing and the sauce ends up overpowering everything else. Ended up eating about half and I think I forced myself to do that.
The sausage, I liked. I liked it a lot. Without question the best of the three meats. I liked it enough to finish all of it.
The baked beans and potato salad, I’d rate as average. Again not horrible but nothing to get excited about
The banana pudding… disappointing. There were no bananas in it!

The ribs were tough and dry. I just moved to Jackson and am trying to find good places to eat, it’s been tough and this isn’t making it any easier.

Chicken is still very good… but… The young staff are a little clueless and ineffectual. Sweet wonderful older lady doing most of the work.

I have been to this place about 8 times in the last six years. It’s really just okay. I find the pulled pork inconsistent. Sometimes it is good, but it is often be quite dry. The brisket is often dry. The fries are just okay. My kids don’t mind the place so we go every once in awhile.
If you’re looking for great barbecue, this isn’t the place that should come to mind first.
An upside is that they have drive thru combos to take home. Downside of that is that they limit the sides one can get if you get don’t get the smallest family pack. Yes, you can’t get fries. Bizarre. When they told me I had to spend an extra $ 10 to get the fries, I left.
I keep thinking that at some point they’ll stop phoning it in and serve a decent product. Alas, there are much better, less expensive options out there, folks.

I’m not sure it even deserves one star, I actually didn’t eat the food. We were driving a long time, searched for a good BBQ place, and this came up. I got the tray to the table, and a roach crawled all over my daughters burger, my potato salad, and BBQ pork. The waitress came over and saw it, and said she would replace the food. For some reason, I couldn’t bring myself to eat! I got the forty bucks back and went to the restaurant next to it, Rafferty’s. It was ok. No roaches.

There is much better BBQ to be had in Jackson! Here, the BBQ is so-​so, and the fries are ridiculously greasy! If you are in a bind, stop here. If not, try one of several other places in Jackson where much better BBQ is to be found!!!

Got a half rack of pork ribs. Well cooked, nice sticky-​sweet bbq sauce. Kind of a small portion, but I think it was only $ 11 with two sides and bread. Got the green beens and potato salad, Neither of which were that great. Note to self — stay away from potato salad anywhere south of Pennyslvania. Seriously.
Anyway — the ribs were good, but not mind blowing. Pretty generic atmosphere. Good for families, though.
