Reviews for J and L BBQ in Snohomish, WA
JandL did the catering for my wedding on August 20, 2022. All of our guests LOVED the food. We ordered BBQ chicken, pulled pork,... brisket, corn bread, beans, and mac and cheese. They had an employee deliver the food to the venue, set up the buffet, and helprefill the chafing dishes throughout the dinner service. They also did all of the clean up after dinner service. My onlycomplaint is that when they employee was finished cleaning up, my husband and I were listening to toasts and he came over to usduring the toast to tell us he was leaving which was very distracting. Other than that things were delicious, ran verysmoothly, and was very well priced. (photos by RebeccaAnnPhotography ) Read more
Just ok to good? But definitely not great to me. Ribs and brisket were tender but lacked flavor. Was expecting more smokiness... and meaty flavor. Collard greens were ok. Also pricing was a bit but the 2 meat plus 2 sides deal seems reasonable. Read more
Love how they two smokers. Both were smoking. I should also mention the wood they have stacked next to their restaurant. This is... real BBQ. Not something that is brought in from elsewhere. I had the rib meal with BBQ beans and collard greens. It was amazing.I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Read more
Decent brisket and pulled pork for the PNW but super dry pork ribs. Big thing to note is many of their sides (coleslaw, beans,... etc) are made using a premade mix as their base (confirmed by the cashier I had when asking about scratch made sides). The twosides I had which were scratch made (corn bread and potato salad) were solid. To make it worse their bbq sauce uses sweet babyrays as a base to it. Pretty easy to identify given the sauce tasted like it had high fructose corn syrup in it and confirmedwhen I walked by the kitchen on the way to the bathroom. I'm fine with the meats being not as good as spots in the Texas andother parts of the south. However, the use of premade sauce as a base and not all sides being made from scratch takes away fromthe experience. Far better places in the area for a similar price point. Read more
I was hot and tired when I arrived. I asked a question about the macaroni and cheese side. The man made a smart remark. I was... just trying to decide between that and the potato salad. He could have used that opportunity to sell me on it. Then when weordered beer he tried to upsell us but I didn?t want an 8 percent beer. Then I asked a question about the bill because it seemedhigh, I didn?t realize they didn?t give cups of water for dine in, you have to buy bottles. The man was super offended becauseI asked 3 questions! They he started telling us he would give our money back and We could go elsewhere. Blew it way out ofproportion. Customer service very poor. If he had just been nice I would have been nice back but he said he worked 100 hours aweek, maybe he should hire staff who aren?t overtired. Read more
1st time dining. I had the 1/2 ribs, 1/2 brisket meal with in house made Baked Beans and Cowboy Caviar. Tried a little side... spicy sauce and it was also a good add for occasional dipping. Everything was fantastic. Read more
Absolutely fantastic. From the customer service to the food this place is a true 5 star experience. We arrived at around 615pm... on a Sunday night and they close at 7. The parking lot is small, maybe only fits about 6 cars. The restaurant is also small anddoesn?t appear to have dine-in currently. The man ahead of us seemed upset that they were out of hot links but showing up withinthe hour of a barbecue place closing one has to anticipate that some of the day?s menu has run out by then. Just as I wasordering they believed they had run out of pork but the gentleman in the back had miraculously found another tray! I was readyto order the tri-tip as a substitute but instead went with a Pulled Pork Sandwich as my original pick. You order inside and theywill bring it out to your car rather than having you wait inside. We ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich with Cowboy Caviar and TheBrisket Dip Samdwich with Baked Beans. I got the spicy option for barbecue sauce for my pork sandwich and while it had somekick, it wasn?t too spicy. Don?t steer clear if you?re worried about too much hotness because it was delicious. My companionactually wound up using the bbq sauce as a dip more than the aus jus that came with their Brisket Dip sandwich! The sides werealso top notch. The baked beans were smoky and satisfying and the cowboy caviar was addicting while also getting some healthyfresh veggies in. We took our order over to the park by the river in downtown Snohomish and had a nice dinner on one of thepicnic tables there (both were available around 640pm). Overall a great place that I would recommend to all and I will certainlybe back. Read more
Service was great! Friendly and helpful with suggesting menu items. Checked to see if I needed anything and if the food was to... my liking. Ordered the brisket sandwich w/Mac and cheese. Brisket was well seasoned, tender and juicy, good sized servings also.Small dine in seating available (3 tables). Read more
