At the ripe old age of 5, JR's dad took him in the office and introduced him to his first roll of 15 pound roofing felt. And 34 years later, JR. had roofed on every street in Sacramento. In 1986, JR. met a Bar-B-Que man from Texas. And after looking at his bar-b-que, JR said this looked pretty similar to his tar pot.

Beware of JR's for catering. If they talk you into paying them to serve the food, they will take the left over food with them. This is not industry standard! Also, the serving staff refused to give second helpings to our guests and then took the remaining food. The told us this was a health department regulation. I called the heath department and was informed there is no such regulation.

I was at the opening of JRs restaurant years back, and have gone multible times since then. My Daughter was getting married and I thought it would be great to hire them to cater the event. We spoke to JR and he talked us in to having servers at the event. As the night went on there was over 15 people that did not show up so there was a lot of food left over.
The servers, JR niece! Said they were getting ready to leave and we asked about the left over food and they said we can't leave it because of laws. No one at the party had ever experienced this at events. We called multible big catering company's and they all said if you have coolers or refrigerator to keep it safe we wrap it up, it yours you bought it!.
The bartender who does events during the week talked to them and they told her to leave them alone she's just a bartender. They were also rude to the guest when asked about it. I called JR and he was very unhelpful and his response was whats the problem the guest ate! I asked what's the difference if you would have dropped it off we would have had all the food and his response was that's how we do it. We will never go or recommend this company to anyone. One more thing, we contacted the health department and there is no law on this, that was a flat out LIE!

Real smoke BBQ. I got the 2-2-2 Mac n cheese and potato salad. Pork ribs are ok I favor the beef ribs more. Real smoke flavor tender, cook to perfect. Brisket was really good. The fatty pices had much more flavor I did have a pice very tender but it was dry(no fat on it). All the meats go very well with the BBQ sauce. If you don't have the skills or time to spend smoking ribs and brisket 8+ hours. Or just a foodie go try JR's you won't be disappointed.

Ordered the 2-2-2 and that's about the score I would give it. Brisket - Watery, smoke flavor, lacked seasoning Pork ribs - Bland Beef ribs - Bland 3 cheese Mac-n-cheese - Bland, no seasoning Cowboy beans - Pinto bean flavor, no seasoning Left this place after paying for a full meal and grabbed dinner someplace else.

I grew up going to this place since o was a kid. I used to be great. Sadly i feel the quality has taken a hit. My brisket was dry and lacking seasoning. My wife and daughter couldnt even eat the turkey. It was also very dry. I hope this is not how it will be from here on out. Crack the whip and get things back to the way they used to be JR. I will give it another try earlier in the day.
