J-Mack BBQ — Restaurant in Calvert City

Great little BBQ place. We stopped in while traveling for dine in but they do take-out and catering as well. The food was pretty good over all. The ribs were juicy and tender. I didn't taste a lot of smoke but they had good flavor. The brisket was cut thick, with a defined smoke ring, good crust and very moist. The chicken was a little dry but it had good flavor and the rub on the outside was great. The pork was a little disappointing, as it was cold and did not have a defined flavor and was a little bland but adding their sauce worked great. The sauce was excellent and honestly will be great on anything you put it on. The coleslaw was good and complimented the meats well. The homemade chips were excellent and I ended up finishing the meal by putting their sauce on the chips. The biggest disappointment was the baked beans, seemed to come out of can, nothing special and Blah. Staff was great, service was good. portions and value for the dollar was good.

Final thought: Get the ribs, Get the brisket, Get the cole slaw, chips and their sauce!!!! Definitely...

This was our planned dinner stop after 5 hours of pulling our camper on vacation. We needed some food, and time out of the truck. The staff were welcoming as soon as we walked in, even though we were there inside an hour before closing. Since it was so late in the day the only meat option they had left was the pulled pork. It was tender, and paired well with their BBQ sauce. The baked beans were definitely underwhelming, but we really enjoyed the homemade seasoned chips. Would love to have had a bag of those for the rest of the car ride. All in all the staff and service were excellent, and the portions and value were great. We look forward to a return visit earlier in the day to be able...
