First off, don't let the fact that JP's barbecue is located at the Bolton airfield deter you because it shouldn't as the food is fantastic.

I got a grilled chicken sandwich and onion rings and my wife got the half slab of ribs and a couple sides. The grilled chicken was perfectly and the barbecue and Carolina gold sauces that they provide, I'm not sure what's in them, but they are delicious.

The onion rings were cooked just right. Not too crispy, not soft and my wife said the ribs were the best she ever had. I'm not big on ribs for a few different reasons, but the rib meat fell right off the bone and they were tender and savory like I've never tasted before.

If you were in the area and you want to try something new, give JP's a chance and enjoy the atmosphere.

I'll definitely be going back and I would recommend this...

Amazing food, place and management. First off, Carol is a wonderful individual who goes all out with service. She’s very friendly and helpful no matter if your stopping in for a meal or catering an event. My wife and I had JP’s cater our wedding a couple years ago and Carol was an absolute joy, helping us with a menu selection to fit our budget and for everything she did to help take care of our dinner on our wedding day. She really takes pride in her work and goes all out.

The food is phenomenal too. We were able to sample a bunch of menu items and every one was delicious. The restaurant itself is a hidden gem and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal with...

My review is base solely on the food itself since it was ordered through Ubereats. I have always wanted to try their food since I was a kid. I remember seeing the commercials decades ago and always thought they made good barbecue. Well I was wrong. The food is horrible. The fries have no seasoning on it. The chicken was dried and ribs were all fat and had a weird chewy taste that was accompanied by some burnt bitter texture. I literally threw it away and will never eat there again. I'm not sure how they have a high rating because you can get better BBQ from outback or Applebee's. This is the first and last time I...

We had a great dinner and we had great service. Angel was a lot of fun! But, I'm sorry I was thoroughly disappointed with my ribs. I got the quarter rack and quarter chicken combo is order chicken combo with potato salad and salad. My chicken was absolutely delicious possibly the best chicken I've ever eaten! They were very thin and way way overcooked I couldn't even eat them and I was really looking forward to them. They were too tough to bite. I'm sure these guys must have made some good ribs at some point but mine was very disappointing

Love love love this place , went for the first time tonight with my wife and the owner Carol was soo attentive and kind . The food was amazing , the Photo Booth was rockin, everyone looked great and the environment was such a blast . Flying up in the air was a great experience with such a great pilot, and the staff were all amazing! Could not have asked for a better night and valentines, thank you so much to Carol and everyone involved!

Husband and I stopped finally, after seeing and hearing about JP’s for many years. We got the chicken salad, the wake of of a fish sandwich, 1/2 slab of ribs, 1/4 barbecue chicken, Cole slaw and fries. Amazing flavor on that barbecue chicken and ribs. The fish was so soft and fresh inside, nice and crispy outside. Slaw was great, fires were nice wedged fries and salad, exactly what I was looking for. We’ll definitely go back again.
