What Vic Rozco likes about J. R.'s Texas Bar-B-Que:
Best brisket sandwich anywhere been going here for years eventhough it's not close was dad to hear they'll be closing soon. So go give em a try before it's too late. View all feedback. What Tammy doesn't like about J. R.'s Texas Bar-B-Que:
It's kind of an out of the way place. The inside was clean. The bbq smelled amazing. We wanted to try the food but there was no air conditioning. At 104 degrees it was to hot for us to eat lunch there. When the weather cools down, I may try again. View all feedback.

Craving some BBQ, not wanting to cook OR go out to eat, we opted to get some take-out from JR's Texas Bar-b-que on a Saturday afternoon.
