What customers say?

“ Finally a good BBQ place in the Bay Area. The beef and the pork ribs are amazing. The chicken is tasty and not dry like in ever other bbq place. Sides were also good. Potato salad is delicious and beans are well done. The best thing a about this place is that the food and the sauce are not just sugar like in many other places. The bake beans are tasty and not sugary. Level of sugar was perfect in everything. Service is as good as the food. Perfect place. ”

“ JC's has been my go-to BBQ spot for over 25 years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their beef ribs! The meat is always falling off the bone. And they're big! The hot links are addictive, the chicken is perfect and when I used to work close by, on my lunch break I would frequently get their pulled pork. I'm obsessed with the garden salad & dressing!! Always so consistently fresh and crisp! Would recommend 10 out of 10! ”

“ I have been ordering JC’s BBQ (located on Saratoga Ave in San Jose) for decades! I would always get their family bucket meals. They have a menu selection that includes hot-links, chicken, pork, and beef ribs slathered with their famous BBQ sauce. Oh man you just have to try their BBQ sauce. Absolutely delicious! Family bucket meals include pork ribs, half a chicken, a pint of their delicious BBQ beans, a pint of potato salad, green salad and garlic bread. Be prepared to get your hands dirty because their stuff is just super yummy. Hands down 10/10 ”

“ Husband ordered and I didn't try but he really like them! Sauce makes the dish for sure! Sides aren't bad, a ton of meat on the ribs, great portions to cost ratio! ”

- Jennifer Chesley -

“ My favorite place for BBQ. I love their beef ribs, their salad and dressing, the potatoes salad, the bread, the BBQ sauce, their BBQ chicken. I haven't had their pork ribs because I love their beef ribs so much. I like the owners are so friendly. We've been enjoying their food for over 10 years. They never disappoint. Absolutely love everything about this place. It is small, clean, no restrooms, big tv, and lots of choices for drinks. Definitely worth every penny. ”
