Reviews for Jr's No. 19 BBQ in Brainerd, MN
Stopped in for lunch. Jason was super friendly! Service was great - portions are huge! About to wrap up lunch and leave and... Jason stopped by our table to chat and see how our lunch was. We let him know how much we enjoyed it! He was nice enough toshare a new beer they had just ordered. We sat and had got to know each other a bit and share a sample of a his new beer. Longstory short stop in. Jason and John were a pleasure and the food was killer! Read more
Stopped in for a dinner at the end of the evening and it smelled amazing. The restaurant it self was a bit cluttered and wasn?t... the cleanest. ???? Customer service was amazing. The employee was super friendly and full of energy. It was easy to order and Iwas felt like they really value the customer. ???? I chose the brisket plate and while I live some parts of this order thebrisket wasn?t the highlight. It had a great smoke flavor but it was over cooked and dry. I?m a bbq guy and I smoke my ownbrisket so I know a little bit and have a high expectations. My brisket was also from the flat and I should have asked for thepoint ( I always forget to specify). The macaroni salad was good but didn?t look fresh so I passed. My favorite was the bakedbeans. Really really delicious. Overall I would try it again but I would go earlier and specify the point. I didn?t try theribs but they seemed to have received good reviews from a side conversation I overheard. While I realize BBQ takes time, I?drecommend to Jr, only serve what you?re proud of, and would eat yourself. I think this will ensure everyone who pays $21 for aplate is satisfied. ? If this was helpful don?t forget to give me a ???????? cheers ???????? Read more
Excellent, large brisket and provolone sandwich plus very good seasoned chips. Counter staff was super friendly and very... helpful. Only mildly disappointing was the endless strawberry lemonade that was fairly weak, but otherwise excellent food andgreat prices. Oh, and did I mention they have cheesecake as well, my wife couldn't finish her sandwich but she had to have aslice. Read more
We've been here twice since moving to the area, sure wish we would have tried JR's earlier! Loving the pizza! Right amount of... sauce in proportion to the crust and toppings. Consistent both times. The atmosphere is good, not over crowded either time butwe were earlier than dinner time on both our trips. People who work there are awesome! Friendly and seem to genuinelycare. We'll be back to dine in and try the ribs next! Read more
You guys seriously have to try this. The ribs and beans were my favorite...and those are usually my least favorite. They were... super good! Staff is really helpful and friendly, good atmosphere. We loved it!! Finally took my 7 year old here, she loved theribs too! And the pizza. Read more
Just had the combo platter that comes with some of every kind of meat there. All were perfectly cooked and tasted delicious!... Brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, were awesome and the ribs were the best I've had in a while, meaty and delicious. I alsohighly recommend the baked beans, they were loaded with pork and chicken too! Will definitely go back, one of my favoriteplaces. Read more
Absolutely wonderful food! This hit the spot we had the Brisket sandwich, beans and sweet tea ????. Will be back again! Best bbq... brisket I?ve had in a very long time. And that bbq sauce though! ???????????? Read more
We ordered the brisket and the smoked chicken, and both were outstanding. Way more food then we could eat!! All of their... pizzas are made by hand from scratch. Very friendly owners as well. Will definitely return soon. Read more
