Junior’s Barbeque

Very good sides very friendly people The brisket I had was fair really couldn’t taste any smoke. Tasted like it had been cooked in oven not real tender good price though compared to other BBQ places. Would come back and try something different.

This used to be an ok place but now it’s just a hillbilly heaven with bad week old BBQ. One of the staffers had a hickey which grossed us out. Tattoos, hickeys and old BBQ. Blah.

Juniors is fairly pedestrian BBQ. Nothing special about it whatsoever. Their pork ribs are very sub par. Brisket is so-​so. Sauce is too heavy and sweet for my taste. Sides are decent, except the fried okra, which is pretty good. The place could be cleaner. The service is slightly above «zombie-​like» and a little below «go to hell.»

It’s always good here… Beef is lean. Sauce is tangy… Tables are clean… One of my favs for lunch

Great little local place, odd hours but good for lunch. I always get the stuffed potato, never disappointed. Staff is very friendly.

Worst and nasty place ever. My family and I tried this place for the first time. I don’t understand why it’s always crowded apparently people must not know what good BBQ is. It tasted like the food was there for days and flies everywhere. Nasty, nasty, nasty…

Juniors is a RedOak tradition… been around as long as I can remember! Love the food! Never had anything bad, that i can remember. Baked potatoes are loaded and fabulous, good sauce and sides.

This has got to be the most nastiest high price rib join I have ever eaten at. The ribs and chicken were as dry as hell. Beans had no taste colslaw was just that COLD SLAW nothing special. I was really hoping I would like this joint but I could of had a V8.

Went back to sample the wares sans sauce. Much much friendlier fellow behind the meat counter this time, 5 stars on him, young fellow with a bit of scruffy facial hair. Same nice young ladies back there, seriously how we were greeted was 10 times better than last time!
The important part, the grub!
So, points were earned this time around for not clobbering my BBQ with sauce (the sauce is good but I like it when I want it not by force ;)). The beans are just as good as last time (eating them now), but… and there is the almighty but…
The okra is no bueno, it’s kind of luke warm and not crispy at all, in fact it’s almost soggy. Last time I got ribs and brisket, this time ribs and sausage. Who doesn’t love a good Texas/​German smoked sausage? I know I love it! Ready? No bueno… what I got looked like Ekrich, had the consistency of Ekrich and if it was smoked they likely walked it by the smoker as it didn’t appear to have spent any appreciable time in the box. For the record, I’m not a fan of Ekrich… at ALL… fortunately the sauce is good so I completely double dunked the sausage to mask the Ekrichness of it. I was hungry and since the okra wasn’t good I did polish off the Polish (heh). On to the ribs, last time they were pretty good but again… saucy. This time without said slathering I was super excited. Not a failure on the ribs this time, they were o.k. They weren’t bad, they weren’t great, they were just ok. Good smoke flavor in them, somewhat tender and a decent flavor… the problem was they were a bit dry and seemed like they were «left over» and/​or reheated more than once. They weren’t nasty or anything but the fresh factor was definitely missing.
In short, what saved Juniors a 2, was their Customer Service and very positive friendly staff. I’ll hit em up one more time and get brisket /​ribs to see if it was an off day.

Junior’s has everything you’d expect and demand from a BBQ joint. An abundance of «Jesus take the wheel» type slogans plastered around the dining room, a few badly adjusted TVs, semi-​unfriendly staff that nevertheless cares about you and your dining experience just can’t show it as well as they’d like, and good, Texan, BBQ.
