Came here for the first time in several years. I don’t go to bbq joints as much as I want to for the sole reason of being too expensive. I’m sure the price for this place is reasonable, just overall expensive in general. Anyways, I ordered the “I want it all” dinner pack which consists of 1/2lb beef, 1/2lb sausage, 1/2lb chicken, 1/2lb ribs, and 2 large OR 4 small sides which we chose the mac n cheese, smothered green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes. I also ordered a side of pork belly and banana pudding. Everything was very flavorful especially the brisket, beef rib, and pork belly. The chicken and sausage were ok. I did a takeout order so my pics don’t do this meal justice from that traditional all on one pan bbq presentation look. Overall, it is a delicious and I’m sure reasonably pric

Not as good as I hoped, but very tasty nonetheless. This chain gets good reviews as some of the best BBQ in College Station so I probably went in with too high of expectations. I’ve had better at smaller hole-in-wall places around Texas. You order at a counter where they assemble your food and then you seat yourself and get your own drinks. The brisket was solid and the sauces were very good. The sides were generally decent with the exception of the cornbread. Who adds lemon to cornbread? That’s a first for me and it was no bueno. Overall solid choice.

first and last time i’ve been to c&j. seriously the worst bbq i’ve ever had. service was minimal. not rude but certainly not welcoming or helpful. the brisket was more like roast cooked with liquid smoke. dry. no flavor unless you consider liquid smoke flavorful. sausage was fair but dry. the bbq sauce surely isn’t Texas style. they need to throw that out. it’s bad. don’t get the cole slaw. you must add salt and pepper on your own and the large pieces of purple onion with the cabbage. no. the restaurant seating and atmosphere is typical. nothing special but not bad. i can say one good thing: their a/c works really well. overall an expensive lunch ($25) that was really really bad.

To be fair we showed up midday around 3pm. But the food was not good, I had brisket and jalepeno sausage both barely warm and flavor on brisket was "off" the fried okra was old not fresh and not hot. The loaded baked potatoe side was decent. My hubby had the ribs and he said they were bland. He said the ranch potato and potato salad were good. We were just passing through but would never try it again. Maybe they are better in evenings or lunch time. The workers were nice on a good note

I just received my online order from the Bryan location. I ordered the chicken plate with the rib, ranch potatoes, greens, and potato salad. I did not receive the rib or the ranch potatoes. Instead I received macaroni which is dry and tasteless. The barbecue sauce tastes like ketchup. The potato salad tastes like you should have boiled the potatoes longer and the chicken looks under cooked. This was my first time trying this establishment since I’ve been here over the last few years and I am highly disappointed. I work at home, so if I had the time I would take this nasty plate right back up there. I just wasted $30 and I’m not happy about it, hence this review.
