Gladys Balajadia: The dining area is wheelchair friendly, has good ventilation for a BBQ establishment, air conditioned, and windows tinted for comfort.Wheelchair accessibility: wheelchair parking is level, has a ramp, however the door is a manual entry push/pull door, ordering counter is a good height, the dining tables are wheelchair accessible.
Breanna Weiss: I know it's late to review, but my family and I went here about two years ago on a vacation. This bbq still lives rent free in my head two years later. If I had the means and time I'd hop a train cross country just get some this again. Seriously. Amongst all the places we ate at during our week vacation, this bbq is without a doubt the best. If you have a chance, grab a bite here!
Carin Mary Lee: Flawless barbecue! Our friend, who's a fan, was having a birthday, so I ordered a variety pack essentially, and even on Memorial Day weekend, everything was ready early, and the order was correct. But the FOOD. I'll be dreaming about the burnt ends meal for days. Even the side dishes were fire, I didn't taste one thing that wasn't mind blowingly awesome. Thanks for making a memorable birthday, y'all, we'll be back!
Rev.Travis: . The garlic bread could've definitely been more toasted, as it was kind of moist...
Lon.food.travel: . Oh yeah, it was hazy and hoppy. Maybe even a bit too hoppy for me. :P Then he decided to go for a can of beer Dibs on Next Wave from Humble Sea Brewing Company. Pretty flavorful.My friend said their brisket is the bomb so I decided to just get a quarter pound to go. I totally regretted that decision. I should have ordered at least half a pound. The briskets were so juicy and flavorful even the next day. My wife who’s a big meat eater gave her stamp of approval as well. I assume they make their own bbq sauce. Even the sauce was mesmerizing. I said I would get a full pound next time and my wife agreed. Can’t wait to go back~
Nathaniel Lanuza: My partner was craving BBQ which was fueled by bbq tik tok videos.She found this place on a whim and was pleasantly surprised that the location was not too far from us.Conveniently located on a visible busy street, parking wasnt too bad. Theres ample spaces for vehicles and a few online order lanes for those who ordered via mobile pick up.We ordered online through their website and got the 3 combo plate which allows you to choose 3 meats out of the variety they had which includes the following:-brisket-tri tip- bbq pork ribs- pulled pork- bbq chicken- burnt endsThe 3 plate combo also gave you the options to choose 2 sides for your meats:- macncheese-beans-potato saladLast part was breads- garlic bread- smoked bread- corn breadWe were able to pick up the food after 10 - 15 mins wait and was in and out.When you pick up, you're welcomed with a nostalgic smell of bbq smoke. There was a lovely outdoor area which is set up to look like a picnic bench at a park. This Is perfect for people who come in gatherings as they also serve alcohol as well!Price was good and affordable. The 3 combo is basically 2 meals for the price of about, ~$30 bucks.I'd recommend this place as the flavors are good and the little apple cider vinegar concoction that they include with your plate accentuates the flavor of smoke from the bbq. It's a lovely sweet and mildy acidic compliment that cant be missed.100/10! Definitely coming back.
Michael Gondi: Are you looking for fast service and a family-friendly BBQ spot? South Winchester is IT!!They have plenty of space outdoors and indoors and there food is amazing. Their sauces taste great and you can really enjoy the smoky flavor on all their meets.Be prepared to spend money. They are by no means cheap which makes sense due to the amount of prep for the meats. Most standard sandwiches are $15+.Staff is extremely friendly and very kid friendly. They offered us free ice cream for our kiddos and we had a blast! Def recommend. Also they have the best breakfast tacos. Ever.
S Sharma: One of the few BBQ locations in San Hose/Campbell. The meat that they prepare is good and the portions are also of a good size.Parking can be a problem as the on site parking is limited and difficult to get in/out of.Good outdoor patio seating.May be a bit on the pricey side but worth it.

Janet Mitchell: The pulled pork plate with coleslaw & garlic bread was excellent. Also, the hush puppies were delicious!! Enjoyed the whole experience. Would go there again, even tho prices a little high, but so is every other place now a days!!Parking: Had no problem parking in the lot beside the restaurant. Plenty of spaces.
American Angler: So then the dude slaps a Franklin down on the bar and proclaims in a loud obnoxious voice that Sam's Bar-B-Que is the best BBQ in the bay area...and here's a 100 bucks that says so! Well, I've had BBQ all up and down the state, and I've got some favorites in Oaktown, so I went over and "Oh Yeah! You're on...I scooped up the Franklin and he gave me directions to get there, and off I went...just me, he stayed there with his chest all puffed out, proud as a new dad, and I had some Amazing food at Sam's BBQ. He never showed up, and I just wonder how long it took for him to realize he gave me a 100 bucks to go eat BBQ. ☆☆☆☆☆

Charles Prael: Always great BBQ;It's a lot quieter these daysVegetarian options: That's a joke, right?
American Angler: Down in San Jose looking for things that I know I won't find, but looking anyway..Well, just because. Saw a Paired Jackra up on flag pole, just sitting there minding his own business. I even kicked a couple of dirt clods over on Nickleback street, and got a nod of support from some old geezer that must've liked the way I kicked um. Got barked at by a chihuahua and stared down by some skateboard kids that'll grow up to be burdens to society. And all that's been going on, I kept smelling BBQ...it changed from ribs to pork butt to brisket..then chicken, then a combination of meats, I kept going in the direction of those wonderful aromas, then all the sudden it was there! The Smoking Pig BBQ!What can you say other than Amazing!
Tom Friend: My favorite BBQ spot in San Jose. I have to make a pilgrimage here every time I fly in to visit my office. It's a little bit sweet, but the bark is great anyhow. Ribs, brisket it's all good. I wish my diet allowed more of their fabulous desserts. BTW, the beans are wonderful.Vegetarian options: This is not a place for vegetarians or vegans.
Sonia Rodriguez: This was my first time having it so I picked a combo plate I had brisket pork beans ribs cornbread from the first bite that I had it it was so delicious to the last bite I most definitely will come back so if you're into barbecue you definitely going to stop by and have it pick the combo it gives you two entrees cornbread or rice then aside then we also ordered a side of burnt ends but make sure you eat it while it's hot it was so good and melted in my mouth.

Abe Honest: Good job over allParking: Too many businessesKid-friendliness: Children like the food
Jerica XO: Such a great pork rib sandwich. I’ve been coming here for years and its always my go to order. Also, the sweet potato fries are crispy and always tasty. The lady in front can be kind of stingy with the fries, dipping sauces and portions of food on occasion but it’s all still great flavor. It can be pretty pricey, customer service just isn’t the best but the flavor of the food out shines all that for me. The pork rib meat on the sandwich is tender, smokey and chopped up perfectly. The bbq sauce is one of the best bbq sauces I’ve tried and the top quality bread just is the cherry on top.
David Anderson: Hole in the wall Korean BBQ and ramen joint. Don't expect much for ambiance, just a walkup counter and take your food to go. There's no restroom available and no free water.The cheese ramen is a delicious surprise - creamy, with a smidge of spice. The sandwiches are a pile of meat on bread, no veggies and sides are extra. I got the King sandwich, which is a pile of pork rib meat and hot links on a simple white bread roll. It was very good, but I'd like to add kimchi next time for some variety.

Candie Flavuhs: I come here regularly for girls night and I always have a positive experience! It's such a great place to go to for drinks, casual dining, eating good food and watching a game. Atmosphere is really fun, relaxed with a bunch of friends and family laughing, talking and watching sports. The restaurant is always super clean, including the bathrooms.I love how extensive the menu is, they're so many delicious options! My favorite menu items that never disappoint are the brisket burnt ends, balsamic glazed brussels, birria tacos, spareribs, loaded fries, baked beans and the brisket chili. As far as desserts I love love love the banana pudding and the deep fried Oreos! Soooo good! Food comes out super fast and always hits the spot.The staff is always welcoming and makes sure our needs are met. I had the pleasure of being served by Darren last night, and he was super sweet and very accommodating. Marcus always goes above and beyond, and provides exemplary service.If you're looking for a place to go with good food and great service come to Sauced! 10/10 would recommend!
James Washer: Another great BBQ find in San Jose. I came here late, 30 mins before they were due to close. The staff were brilliant and accommodating and didn’t make me feel rushed or pressured, in spite of my timing.Food was fantastic and served very quickly. I had the BBQ brisket burn ends combo with some chilli Mac and the seasoned waffle fries. The brisket was fall apart tender and had a fantastic flavour.The drinks choice was outstanding, but I was boring and had one of their IPA’s. This was brilliant, and washed the meal down perfectly. I’ll be back for sure!

Henry Semanjarrez: and they had $5 beers on tap. Not sure if that’s a regular thing, but I appreciated the brew with my food.
Dummycom X: good solid smoked and grilled meats
Carsyn Torode: Writing this review after totally smashing my plate. This is the best BBQ I’ve had in a long time. I used to drive all the way to Oakland to get my BBQ. Little did I know this hidden gem was right under my nose this whole time. I’m genuinely surprised this place isn’t packed - I’m here in a Sunday afternoon. Family owned and they cook like you’re apart of that family too. Will be recommending this place to everyone asking where to eat next. Get the brisket ~ chefs kiss. 💪🏼
Steven Ramirez: The best carnitas and brisket tacos I have tried. The meat was juicy and flavorful. Highly recommend.The beer selection is good as well.
Iqbal Saini: This is the best BBQ in San Jose, in my opinion. My only wish is that I wish they served burnt ends
J W: Really good smoked meats - havent had this quality even near matched since being in CA
Trish Contreras: I love the food here so much. I had them cater my son's college graduation party. Everyone was raving about the awesome brisket and pulled pork. The corn bread didn't last long. Their beans and potatoes salad is just like my recipe. We come here now when we want awesome bbq. The other meats are all good. They do a great job on catering and you get a lot of food for a great price. We will support this awesome small business.

Lupe Martinez: We had heard of JonJon's quite awhile ago but never had a chance to visit until now. We had a very late lunch at around 2:15pm today. So consequently, they were out of the Peach Cobbler, the Mac & Cheese, and their Beans, however the Potato Salad was a solid tasting experience.In terms of the BBQ, we had the Chicken, it was good, the Hot Links, very hot & spicy, and the Ribs!!! The Ribs, came heavily drenched with their BBQ Sauce and were an Extraordinary & Excellent tasting experience. Our small group of 3 mutually agreed that coming back to taste the Ribs again should be a regular occurrence and well worth the effort.Note:They don't have any waiting staff and instead have a kiosk set up for auto-ordering using one's credit card / debit card. That was a pleasant surprise and very straight forward to use. TheirCustomer Service was excellent, in terms of having our order promptly served while still keeping up with a steady stream of Take Out Customers.In terms of ambiance, this is a very humble establishment set up with covered outdoor dining and our only comment here would be for them to set up some portable outdoor heating to help dining customers deal with the cold. As previously mentioned, we would highly recommend coming here to try their Ribs as we were very surprised with their taste and hencefore plan to come back sometime soon to have them again!!Parking: Limited parking onsite available but there was plenty of street parking available.Wheelchair accessibility: No restrictions and barriers to overcome or deal with.
S Mather: and the potato salad was a little mushed. The portion of meat was generous, but was resting in a pool of sauce; I prefer sauce on the side so there is a choice on how much to apply to whichever meat I choose.
