Diner notes
5 out of 5
I had the pleasure of dining in at Jerry Neels, I ordered 1/2lb of ribs with baked beans and a side of fries. Let me tell you the ribs were tender, the rub itself had an amazing taste, slightly sweet, not too salty just the right amount, their house made barbecue sauce was great, added a nice acidic touch to the ribs to balance it out, baked beans were cook to perfection, not over done like I’ve experienced, and the taste was phenomenal, fries were cooked to absolute perfection, crisp but still fluffy inside, i did not taste any old or burnt oil from them which tells me they really care in even the fine details in their food. Texas toast was crisp and buttered, despite having the amazing ribs atop they remained crisp. All this for only $16.70 with a soda. I would rather come here any day over Blue Ember, can’t beat the value, taste and hospitality they have here. What a wonderful experience!

A staple in town for many decades. I have been eating at Jerry Neels for more than 35 years. Either lunch or dinner, and its all good. My regular for lunch is pulled chicken and a twice baked potato. Good size menu and food is always good. It is a no fluff BBQ eatery. Jake, Stefanie and the rest of the team always provide friendly service.

First time trying it and I wasn’t upset. Prices are close, if not slightly higher than most other bbq joints. I enjoyed the thin sliced brisket. The ribs were tender and the chopped pork was good, even though I’m not used to it. Sides were solid too.
