Smoke Daddy’s Review of Lazy J Bar-B-Que

<<Update: Looks like this joint has received a significant facelift… possible change in ownership?  Hope the physical changes are mirrored in the food operations!>>

MAIN FARE:Lazy J Spread

  • Brisket – Where’s the smoke? Pot-roast consistency… its been slow-cooking in the oven for quite a while.
  • Spare Rib – Tender… but where’s the FLAVOR?
  • Sausage – Nothing special here.
  • Pork Chop: The first chop on the tour draws initial excitement… but we’re disappointed with the skinny, boneless version of a ‘pork chop’ served here. Leaves me flat.

OTHER FARE:

Lazy J Case

  • Potato Salad – creamy. soft taters, but still very bland.
  • Beans – good texture, nice flavor. The beans may be the best thing here!

ATMOSPHERE:

  • Nice looking joint; We pull up out front just before an outer band of ‘Claudette’ blows through.
  • Very sturdy furniture.
  • All women crew working behind the counter…Lazy J Pit
  • Nice folks with a Southern Pride gas cooker… however, there was no wood in this oven during our tour.
  • We look longingly across the way at Cow Camp BBQ (not open on Wednesday), and wonder if we’ve chosen wisely.
