John Bs BBQ Creole and Caribbean Food — Restaurant in Hamar

Don’t sleep on this Creole BBQ. I am from the USA and have had BBQ from Texas, California, Georgia, and even Hawaii. This was easily one of the best damn BBQ I ever had. I’ve done a decent amount of food research in Norway and people said cheap food and nice food are almost the same price here so it’s a gamble. I saw the pictures of the meat and felt this was a safe bet. It ended up being some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Absolutely worth it for the quality of spices and meat.

We got the brisket with mac and cheese and the griot with jerk sweet potato fries. Get the sauces- even the spicy one for the mac n cheese.

We met the actual owner/ bbq chef and he told us how his business started after he moved to Norway. It’s a fun little courtyard with gastropub vibes. Indoor seating available at a certain section. Fun corner to...

Worth a detour if you're...

Just popped up on Google searches not a week ago (trust me I check them a lot) and already become a staple of our household. When you call the number you're treated like a guest at someone's house, not just a customer and you're invited to this wonderfully efficient and well designed kitchen to order the food you'd like to take home. They package their food perfectly for the cold Norwegian winters and all the food is authentic and cooked to perfection. I personally tried to Jammin' Jerk Sweet Potato Fries (with Mango chutney) and Pulled Pork BBQ and it's delicious whether I stay and enjoy or take it home and eat. Great stuff, John, we'll be...
