C&J Barbeque Southwest Pkwy — Restaurant in College Station

First time here. Bar tender hyped it up pretty good so I had to check it out. I've traveled all over the US and probably tried enough bbq to have my own TV show about it. So here's my review. I went with the three meat / two sides dish for a whooping $14.99. Expectations were high. I was immediately disappointed watching them cut two small pieces of brisket and turkey, and half a jalepano cheese sausage and put it on my plate. My immediate reaction: you have to be kidding me with these portion sizes. I bet their customer retention is terrible. The Mac n cheese looked less than impressive, so I went with the cheesy mashed potatoes and Cole slaw. Side note - all the sides looked not so great. So I took my $15 plate of food to my table already disappointed. Brisket and turkey were dry. Sides were pretty lackluster. I'll just say this : the jalepano cheese sausage and BBQ sauces were the only thing on that plate worth three stars. I looked around the restaurant and thought to myself, what a lot of lost potential. If you can't make better bbq, lower your prices to feed the starving college kids. I cannot fathom how this place stays in business with these price points and...

For my first time being in here it was really cool. I love the vibes of old school style BBQ place. Over all atmosphere is 10/10. Service was amazing. Matt I believe his name was he may have been a manager that helped me I think I really should have asked his name before he left. Anyways he was great! I told him it was my first time in he was very welcoming with a great attitude and smile! I asked if I could sample a few things to see if I wanted it and he was happy to help. I also asked his favorite because I am very indecisive. He gave me great options! I tried what he recommended and it did NOT disappoint! Overall service was a 10/10! Food is why we're here right!? Well let me tell y'all!!!! This is the best BBQ in town and honestly some of the best I've had in my 29yrs! Their sauces are absolutely creative and pair perfectly with the lean AND fatty parts of the meats!!!! Super delicious! Their sides are also amazing! Don't let the the only thing you come here for just be meat because the sides are delicious! I wasn't able to try any dessert this time but I will definitely be returning! Food is 100% a 100/100!!!! I will...

Horrible. I was going to try the sliced brisket and was given a good sample taste. I decided to order the brisket, But was given it from the back of the rack with a completely different look, smell and taste. The brisket was dry and not tender at all. The potato I had gotten was sour, and molding. The corn that I tried wasn’t bad, but had a bitterness or tangy taste to it. Fried Okra was great though. Really need to improve on most items. When you are served it looks like a middle school hot lunch. Very disappointed on the result. My family was just visiting from Seattle, and were looking forward to getting BBQ, but we were very disappointed and upset. My mom had gotten sick with food poisoning from the ribs. First, and last time coming here. I will not be returning or recommending this to ANYONE because they will be disappointed as much as we were. Get a new...
