I can't say enough about J's. They catered my daughter's wedding. They provided all the food for our family Christmas - this past weekend. We picked it up and everybody was blown away by the food!! We ordered brisket, ribs, their awesome apples, baked beans, mac and cheese and 2 kinds of slider buns. More...

A MUST for awesome food and atmosphere!! An unique experience for us Wisconsinites to have an opportunity to enjoy a well executed taste of Texas! The sampler platter was a fabulous adventure of taste and pairing it with the wide selection of sauces only elevated the flavorful fun! Meeting the owners and hearing their story was the “dessert” to this meal. Now GO and ENJOY!! More...

Just got back from Nashville and hit some of the best BBQ joints in the country. J's would give them a run for their money. Solid menu and very good food. I had the brisket, sweet slaw and beans. More...

This is a great place for BBQ. We drive from Appleton just to visit J's BBQ. Great selection of food. Always top notch and if you leave hungry, that is your own fault. Hardworking and friendly staff. A must when near Ripon! More...

My husband and I went to J's for lunch with our friends; it was our first time going there. The food was really good. We shared since we weren't sure what to get and I wasn't feeling well, and the medium potatoes was a lot of potatoes. Good portions, good pricing, and good service. I would definitely go back.

This is by far the best Restaurant in the State. They make the best meat Plater period. I live in Milwaukee, but this place is well worth the drive. I have had all the best smokehouses in the state. This ones by far the best. It's my favorite restaurant. I eat out someplace new every day, but this place keeps me coming back. My only complaint is the white bald man with the beard that cuts your meat is always rude. This is saying something, because I eat here at least once every two weeks. I keep coming back thinking he'll be nicer. I'm always proved wrong. The owner is super nice though. More...

Classic Texas style BBQ, order at the counter by the pound, order your sides and take them to your table. Went there with a group and everyone really enjoyed their BBQ choices and there were positive comments across the board. The brisket had a nice crust on it and you could taste the different spices in the rub. The pulled pork was also really moist and had good smoke flavor. The sides were all impressive and there was a wide selection of about 16 of them. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is the sauces. Most BBQ joints nowadays have home made sauces. While they had a wide selection of them, it reminded me of another restaurant that rhymes with "Ruffalo Piled Things". The sauces were all over the place and weren't really traditional BBQ regional sauces. With that aside, great BBQ at a very reasonable price. More...

Best barbecue in the entire fox valley. We ordered the sampler and it came with so much food. The brisket was my boyfriends favorite (because he could dip it in whatever sauce he desired), mine favorite was the ribs. Super fall off the bone tender. The jalapeño cornbread was crazy good, though I wish it was served warm. I think it would be to die for then. But that's literally my only complaint. It's worth the drive to Ripon. More...

A friend and I where staying in Ripon for the EAA show, and visited J's BBQ all three nights of our stay. The food was amazing, true authentic Texas BBQ. That opinion is based on living in Texas 6 years. The owners Jen and Suzanne where a delight to talk to and their staff was polite and helpful. Also the restaurant was very well kept and tidy. We will definitely go back next year. More...
