“ Spontaneous run to RJ's and we were very satisfied with the brisket and the sausage. So delicious! We paired our combos with fried okra, beans, and crinkle fries. We had prickly pear lemonade and Kool Aid. ”

“ "THE BEST" hamburgers I have EVER eaten!! Picture of hamburger patty, cooked in a smoker, with bacon, cheese, fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, pickles, and a jalapeño on the side... Add to that freshly cooked french fries, and you've got yourself an awesome meal!! They're a little pricey, but it's well worth it! This place gets 5 stars, and goes to the top of my places to eat here in San Angelo, Texas ”

“ I was so disappointed when we saw the building (we would not have stopped if we had not read the reviews ) and then we went in and they said they were sold out of brisket and chicken. (It was 1 hour before close ). I do not normally dig in the swine so I was strained they only had pork ribs and pulled pork bruh let me tell you now ... this food was delicious ! The sauce was so good. I do not like my sauce sweet and my hubs does. It was not sweet and he loved it. The beans had a rich gravy and the were spiced so good. Closed her down with the banana pudding. We have us a new spot when we come through San Angelo. Thank you RJ if you are real person :) ”

“ Staff are awesome, BBQ is good, the wings are the best you will ever have. They do run out, so get there early. Great place if you are wanting some fantastic wings or BBQ. ”

“ Our Kitchen Cabinet Crew of two guys have almost finished the Kitchen. Most of the Cabinets are in except for the doors and the one below the sink that's in the corner. We knew it would not be done on Friday and we did plan to go out to eat Dinner - but didn't know where. I came up with a plan (sometimes I astonish myself). Informed my Lovely Wife that why not go out to RJ BBQ and give them a try. My Wife was busy around the house while the crew worked in the Kitchen and I ran a couple of errands preparing for the temporary sink that we maybe able to use early next week. The crew left around 4:30pm or so and we readied for RJ - and the Vette-Jet is waiting to go. When we walked in we were greeted by Edith behind the counter where you order. We informed her that it's our first time here and we need to look at the menu board. She then said that they are out of Brisket due to a lot of Catering they did today and also a Very Large Lunch Crowd. Her and another worker suggested the Three-Meat-Combo that comes with two sides and there is enough food on there for two people. So, that's what we went with. Chose the Pulled Pork, Sausage & Ribs. The Two sides chosen are Potato Salad and Beans - comes with 2-slices of bread and RJ's BBQ Sauce. We also ordered two drinks, Diet Dr Pepper and Diet Coke. We took a table while we waited for our food and in just a couple minutes it was ready. Picked it up at the counter with plastic ware and a plate - and this container is really heavy. Opened it up at the table and now we know why it's Heavy. There is a lot of meat in there with Three Mighty Big Ribs covering the Pulled Pork that's spread all across the large portion of the container - with sliced Sausage along the side. The Potato Salad is topped with some Pickles and sliced White Onion while the Beans take up the other side - and there is a lot of them. My Wife took the plate and some of each item while I ate from the container. These Ribs are Big and they do have good flavor, especially with the RJs BBQ Sauce - that stuff is really tasty. We both Love the Pulled Pork - it's Moist, Very Tender and loaded with flavor. I layered a lot of Pulled Pork on a slice of bread, then the BBQ Sauce and it was Awesomelylicious - RJ really has good Pulled Pork. The Sausage is also one of our favorites. It's Very Flavorful and Tender with no toughness anywhere like some places. This is some Great Tasting Perfect-Potato Salad, especially with some Pickles & Onion. The Beans have just the right amount of Spiciness in them and they are Beany-Meaty - love the flavor. RJ BBQ is a Big Hit with us and we are coming back for some of that Brisket - but not late in the day. That's just taking a chance of them running out. RJ's is open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for most days of the week - closing early on Saturday & Sunday at 5pm - but you can still come for an early Dinner. Check'em out on Facebook - RJ BBQ - and On-Line - RJ BBQ has Smoked Meats; Brisket, Sausage, Ribs, Chicken, Burgers also Fish & Desserts - Cobblers & Banana Pudding - all served many different ways - West Texas Style. We just might come out here for Breakfast one day after our Kitchen is finished - their Menu has a lot of choices. They have been around since 2002 providing the San Angelo area with some of the Finest BBQ you will ever enjoy. Edith was Awesome in helping us decide what to order and checked on us at our table. She earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'Above-&-Beyond' the norm. She was ecstatic about it all - and the rest of the crew joined in. The entire time we were there the Staff was always helping everyone and are some of the most polite workers you will ever encounter. They not only provide some Great BBQ but also the Best Customer Service around because they care and it shows. We ate all our food and only took home what was left of the BBQ Sauce - it's Very Tastylicious. RJ BBQ has Smoked Meats; Brisket, Sausage, Ribs, Chicken, Burgers also Fish & Desserts - Cobblers & Banana Pudding. Thank You RJ Staff for some West Texas BBQ and Thank You Baby for Everything. Love You Bunches & BBQMunches. ”

“ 4.5 Stars! Based on the type of place it is...diner-like. Hubby & I both had the Brisket platter. His with beans and fries, mine with fried okra and potato salad. We split a peach cobbler because they had no banana pudding. Servings of all were generous. Be sure to ask for extra sauce. 1) BBQ Sauce--this is Super important, the Most important ingredient IMHO. I'm 100% Texan, NOT Southern. RJ's BBQ Sauce walks a very fine line between the rangy vinegar based Texas BBQ and the Sweet Memphis style Sauce. It's both. (I'd like it better without the sweet but I could eat it and not be umhappy). 2) The Brisket-- just the way Brisket ought to be. Enough smoke flavor. AND a Generous serving (in my picture I ate a slice before I remembered trouble snap it). 3) The Sides - Pinto beans were just good ol' plain beans. They had a bit of cumin but not a lot. Crinkle fries really cannot go wrong on these. Potato salad was, IMHO, annhh. Mayonnaise, a bit of mustard for color and potatoes. I saw what seemed to be bits of pickles but didn't taste -em. Luckily hubby gave me his onion. Peach Cobbler was very Cinnomon-y. I'm not crazy about that but Hubby was. Darn good Cobbler. One surprise was the Lemonade Tea. Yummy, on the lemony side. (They do not have plain tea, sweet or unsweet.) Sodas are in plastic bottles, not fountain drinks. 4 Service-- friendly, timely, and helpful. He appeared genuinely happy we were there. ”

“ Service from Alexa I hope I got the name right!!! Absolutely amazing from the greeting walking in the door to taking my order and preparing my meal. Now the BBQ pretty much the best in San Angelo the man in the kitchen checked on me to ensure I was enjoying the delicious BBQ and of course it was delicious. I was the only one dining at the time and the entire staff made me feel VIP that type of energy goes along way. Keep up the great work. ”

“ Legit Local BBQ spot! I am pretty selective when it comes to BBQ and this one is a must when in San Angelo. Staff was very friendly too. Plenty of parking. If you love sweets, I suggest trying the peach cobbler! ”

“ The wife and I like to split our road trips with various stops along the way. We just get bored with driving and seeing the same view. Open fields. Wind turbines. Etc. Moving forward a few hundred miles; RJ Bar-B-Que is spot on in our journey with "Righteous BBQ". It is a solid cue. Arrived at 11 am at the door opening and they were packing up a catering order for a hundred. Good sign. The restaurant is no-frills. Four walls and stuff. You know stuff. Eight or ten tables with ordering done at the counter. Simple meat plates and by-the-pound ordering. Ribs, brisket, and sausage are your big boys. I know they had a few more types of meat, but I just don't remember. I ordered two meat combos with sides. Ribs and brisket with sides. Ribs and sausage with sides. There was more food than a couple of humans can eat. The to-go containers were packed. Heavy in weight with delicious food. Enough food for four. Ribs a home run. Brisket was delicious. The sausage was good. Sides, very standard but good; potato salad, mac n cheese. You can't go wrong if you are in the area and want some delicious cue. There is solid BBQ Magic here. Overall, I would come back. I did. But it was closed. lol. Plenty parking. CC friendly. Nice staff. Seems like it's been around a while. A good choice for ribs. ”

“ One of the major bbq players in this town and I see why. Dang good BBQ across the board of their simple basic menu of goods. Everything we had was amazing. Service was fast just before the normal 6pm dinner rush started coming in and it came strong! We got lucky coming in at 5. Beat the masses. The chicken impressed me most with it's super smokey but moist outcome. The brisket was a close 2nd place being flavorful and tender. Ribs we're not be overlooked either. Not a big sausage guy so those just never impress me much anywhere. Potato salad, coleslaw and beans all legit sides. The smokey tangy BBQ sauce is solid as well. Roman the man behind it all who served us was a class act guy and super friendly dude. Gave me all the inside details on the biz and the food. 10 hours of smoked mesquite chips goes into that brisket! In biz since 2002 and still putting smiles on locals faces daily! ”
