Reviews for B&J Smokehouse &Bbq in Gastonia, NC
Well, I almost don't want to review this place because it'll become too popular, but I know it deserves the praise. The owner is... an honest and hard-working guy that makes some out-of-this-world BBQ. I don't know how he's able to make such amazing BBQworking by himself but not only that, the sides - especially the mac & cheese and baked beans - can really stand up to thefingerlicking tastiness of the BBQ. We ended up getting a little of everything available at the time which somehow came out to<$20 per person (including a drink): pulled pork, ribs, smoked chicken, cabbage, beans, and m&c. We ate in silence because wewere savoring every bite. Wish we lived closer so we could enjoy this gem more often! Caveat: I'm an out of towner but I dohave family in Texas (visited multiple times a year before the pandemic) and know a little bit about BBQ. Read more
I eat here about every weekend. Small hole in the wall trying to get back up and running since covid hit everyone hard. Foods... good. People are friendly. Give it a try and don't be scarred to speak up. Owner will do all he can to make sure your food isjust right. Read more
By far one of the worst dining experiences I have had. Went in hoping for a good local meal and though it was completely dead... during rush hour on a weekend gave it a shot because the owner seemed nice and we were starving. We got served barely warm,mediocre food that was very overpriced especially considering the quality. We honestly felt bad for the owner so just sat thereand ate, but were highly disappointed. He used his phone for the card reader, and we were too naive to think twice of it,thinking he was just a nice older man who needed business, only to realize after our long drive home he charged us DOUBLE whatour total was supposed to be. Not only did he steal money from us but the food wasn?t worth what we were supposed to be payingin the first place, definitely showed us why it gets so little business and why he needed money badly enough to steal it fromhis only customers.

First of all I must say the Ower is absolutely amazing and an awesome cook. I had the rubbed chicken breast with the cooked... cabbage. It was so tender, juicy and very flavorful. My fiance had the pulled chicken and the mac n cheese. We both can't stoptalking about how fantastic it was. His barbecue sauce was absolutely perfect. The best we've ever had & we've had a lot ofthem. Please give the place a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. Read more

My husband and I just discovered a fabulous new bbq joint in downtown Gastonia, NC a few months back. We've been here probably a... dozen times now. They just opened in February. What a time to be trying to start a business (COVID-19). If you call ahead oftime, they will stay open late to accommodate people getting home late from work. Very good prices!! Mouth watering. ???? Brisket every Saturday. Smoked corn. You must try the SMOKED BROWNIES YALL! B&J Smokehouse and Barbecue, right off ofFranklin Blvd past Vance Street. Go check out this business and help them survive this crazy time. IF YOU NEED FOOD MADE FOR AWEDDING OR BUSINESS MEETING, THEY WILL COOK AND DELIVER THE FOOD! Read more
