"Praised enthusiastically by Pang in the past, Uncle John’s Bar-B-Que (in the form of its predecessor) has received what the text describes as “love letters” from him, indicating strong favorable coverage." - Ashok Selvam
This place is located next to a gas station and that should’ve been a sign for me to stay away. The food was nasty and the peach cobbler was spoiled and mushy. It made my stomach sick 🤢 and I won’t mention the rest. The turkey links were hard and dry. I will not suggest this place to anyone. Beware you’ve been warned. Bad food and ok service. Quality of food is horrible and the taste is bland, nasty, and overcooked.

We needed to stop and gas up and lucked up on a pre 4th BBQ spot still serving beef ribs cooked to perfection. This little pit smells of smoke baked into the walls just like I like it. The BBQ itself was smokey and seasoned well. It did not need to be sauced but the sauce tasted of its own unique blend of spices and definitely carried well. I would rather this place a, must try. Hurry and get there because they do sell out

Ordered the small tips...meat was really tender! The mild sauce does have a kick to it. The coleslaw was nice and creamy, the service was excellent.

First time here, got a jumbo turkey link combo. The turkey tips were dry and hard, like they were old. The sauce was too sweet but the turkey links were really good if I had to rate from 1-10 I'd give it a 4.5 outta 10 and that's just for the links.

Yummy yummy to my tummy. I ordered the rib tips with the links. OMG, the sauce is so good. The tips were nice n tender. I had one mild n one spicy. Both were delicious. Most definitely, I will be going back, n I recommend. Employees was nice n restaurant was clean. No complaints here. 👌

My first time having the Barbecue and It will definitely be my last. The mild sauce was spicy. The worst was the chicken it was overcooked and hard to chew. The large tips looked very small. I’m not sure if I received the correct food. The fry’s were not fresh. I ordered on line and was duked when I got there because they didn’t have my side, that I paid for. The food was very disappointing and unappetizing. We could not finish the food because of toughness.

I wasted $30. Before driving off, I opened my bag and started to ask a guy walking pass if he wanted the food. The rib tips looked like shredded pork. The staff said it was do to the meat being so tender but there were really hard pieces mixed in with the shredded tips and no matter how tender, a rib tips shouldn't look like these did. Also they were drenched in sauce that was so watery that made the container buss. I just threw them away and went to my other spots in Illinois.

How can fries be dry with bbq sauce on them. This gots to be the most despicable place ever. That lady doesn't have any customer service skills should be mopping that dirty floor.
