"J-Bar-M Barbecue looks straight out of a Magnolia Home catalog, and it’s definitely the only restaurant in EaDo with fresh flowers on every table. Most folks here hopped over from Downtown for a barbecue lunch or are catching an early dinner of beautifully rendered brisket, snappy jalapeño-cheddar sausage, tender pork ribs, and thick slices of pepper-crusted turkey breast. And even though J-Bar-M makes great new-school barbecue, the pico de gallo-dressed tacos are worth a visit in and of themselves." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
