J&L BOULEVARD BBQ — Restaurant in City of North Tonawanda

This place is absolutely worth a visit. I work across the street and I have ordered for lunch twice so far - because I can smell that beautiful smoker every single day from my office and just had to try their food! The first time, I got a brisket quesadilla. Absolutely superb! Good, fresh crunchy tortilla perfectly cooked with cheese, onions and brisket. The meat was tender and flavorful. Portion was huge, I had enough for two lunches! Today I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was pretty cheap too, about $6-7 I want to say. I LOVE pulled pork and order it almost everywhere I go. This is, by far, the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. Hands down, no question. The roll is extremely fresh - like it was just pulled out of the oven. Perfect texture for this kind of sandwich too. The meat, stacked high, is beautifully seasoned and tender with that glorious hint of smoke. There is nothing that the establishment could adjust to make this sandwich any better. My only complaint is that I will be really sad when I finish eating it! Thankfully there was enough meat for me to put some aside for another sandwich tomorrow. :) Service has been fast and friendly both of my visits here, and the food was fresh and hot. I am already looking forward...

I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, brisket burnt ends, the boneless wing sandwich, brunswick stew, and a side of cornbread on uber eats.

Pulled pork: Didn’t receive my sandwich unfortunately so I don’t have anything to say about that.

Coleslaw: More vinegary than i’m used to, but good and not soggy. 8/10

Burnt ends: Very dry, brisket burnt ends in my experience are very tender. You can see how dry they are in the picture. Perfect amount of fat which is a plus. If they weren’t super dry they would be an 8, but unfortunately I would give them a 6/10

Boneless Wing Sammy: grilled boneless wings (chicken thigh?? that’s what it seemed like) with a honey bbq sauce and coleslaw. Pretty good. Very poorly packaged, 90% of the chicken was just in the container and not on the bread. Still tasted good. 7/10

Brunswick stew: Smalllll portion for $6. Delicious, hot (despite getting it delivered!) and meaty. All the veggies were good. Almost as good as my favorite, SOTW.. rip. 9/10

Cornbread: Idk what’s on top of it but it’s SO GOOD. Soft inside with the perfect amount of crisp on the top with some kind of buttery drizzle. 10/10

Overall I would rate my meal a 7/10. Portions aren’t very big for the prices at all, but everything I had was...

Pretty disapointed i just spent 36 dollars on the combo platter (ribs, pork, brisket) and 2 sides and a pulled pork combo with 2 sides... the combo platters portions are very small and flavorless the mac and cheese tastes like someone just keeps adding water to it throughout the day was not cheesy at all. For the price-portion and flavorless sides we will not return. I guess once youve had smoke on the water nothing compares because this food is very close to the lloyds bbq u buy at the supermarket. (Edit to this post girlfriend was up throwing up all night from this food)

Ok adding to my old review since it wont let me make a second. Its been a year now so i figured id give them another try hoping they got it together, this food really is a sorry attempt at bbq the brisket and pulled pork are really flavorless and resembles wet dog food. When i ordered it gave an option for a free "hand grenade" one per order well i got none at all. Cornbread is stone cold and hard as a rock. Im really only finding good taste and food temp with my baked beans everything else will go to the trash. Def will not spend another dollar at this place which is dissapointing because there is no good bbq spots at all around anymore with...
