I'm a longtime JC's Barbecue customer. I love the beef ribs and their scratch made beans. Their potato salad is very good too. I like to come at lunch time and get the "Lunch Special" with rib tips and chicken. I add on a bowl of beans. So good! For dinner, their beef ribs are amazing, full of flavor and a lot of meat on those bones! I don't know how they do it, but their flavors and quality has been very consistent for the 30+ years that I have been visiting JC's Barbecue on Saratoga Ave.

JC's has been my go-to BBQ spot for over 25 years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their beef ribs! The meat is always falling off the bone. And they're big! The hot links are addictive, the chicken is perfect and when I used to work close by, on my lunch break I would frequently get their pulled pork. I'm obsessed with the garden salad & dressing!! Always so consistently fresh and crisp! Would recommend 10 out of 10!

Service is quick and straightforward, and the portions are solid for the price.

It has just the perfect amount of spice. The meat is very tender and grilled to perfection and cooked to order. The food is fresh and served piping hot to perfection.

I have been ordering JC’s BBQ (located on Saratoga Ave in San Jose) for decades! I would always get their family bucket meals. They have a menu selection that includes hot-links, chicken, pork, and beef ribs slathered with their famous BBQ sauce. Oh man you just have to try their BBQ sauce. Absolutely delicious! Family bucket meals include pork ribs, half a chicken, a pint of their delicious BBQ beans, a pint of potato salad, green salad and garlic bread. Be prepared to get your hands dirty…
