austinMemberThis is so bizarre, it’s like I went to the wrong place. Those were not the ribs I got. The ribs I got were burnt and mostly fat. The medium sauce had no spice and the hot had only some. The potato salad was good. I’ll probably be back mostly because I live a short walk away, but those ribs were work.

cjboffoliParticipantaustin: Please note…that’s brisket and chicken pictured. I didn’t sample the ribs.

JanSParticipantchristopher…I have a request. Please have pictures every time you review a restaurant. While I love the review, I’m a very visual person…and your pics are just great :) Yummmmm…

Thanks Jan. I’ll do what I can. But I don’t always have the patience to shoot images of the food when my instinct is just to scarf it down without delay.

Garden_nymphMemberChristopher, I agree, no more reviews w/o pictures! I too am very visual and love the perspective you give.

villagegreenMemberWent last night and had the Combo Dinner ($18.95) with Brisket, Chicken, Beans, and Potato Salad. Definitely was enough food for two adults (and small child).
As for the meat, I’d say it was decent. Both meats were slightly dry. Sauce was of the thick and sugary type. I’m a bigger fan of the vinegar based BBQ sauces, but Jones’ sauce is good for what it is. As for spice, not sure what people were thinking saying the medium packs a kick, our two year old was eating it with no problem (and he usually balks at the slightest inkling of heat). Will try the ‘hot’ sauce next time.
All in all, it was comparable to what I’ve had at other Jones around town. Dependable bbq, but nothing exceptional. If you’re a meat person, more than a sauce person, I’d recommend the Pig Iron in Georgetown.

johnnyblegsMemberPig Iron is awesome but way to pricey for what you get. I can’t wait to try Jones. Had some in SODO months ago and was very satisfied.

dawsonctParticipantVG, I would love to see someone set up a Carolina-style whole-hog pit BBQ around town. I like just about all the different styles of barbecue we have in our country, but that style is my favorite as well. I just happened to be at The Swinery on Tuesday when the counter man had his sandwich delivered to him; looks to be exactly what you and I are craving. I’ll be going back soon to try one.

WesCAddleMemberWhat? No one complaining that they don’t have any vegetarian offerings? ;)
July 8, 2010 at 8:38 pm #698308
KBearParticipantPerhaps their sauce is vegetarian?
July 8, 2010 at 8:48 pm #698309
SueParticipantWhat, no barbecued tofu? Why are they discriminating against the vegetarians? ;)

grrParticipantlol, Sue ;)

+1 RAVE for Jones. Yeah..parking is a pain, but the ribs can’t be beat. I might agree with some that its a bit spendy…not all that much more than Brickyard, though. Both are great BBQ joints to have in the neighborhood.

AND..people..I hereby nominate the Sweet Potato Pie as West Seattle’s next “crack food’ contestant.

grrParticipantoh yeah…being from the South..I prefer my bbq NOT smothered in sauce. I like the sauce as an accent to accentuate the flavor of the meat, not swim in it. Just ask for it on the side..No problemo.

MousePotatoMemberAs far as price goes I think they are fair. The last time I went in it was slower so I had a chance to take my time with the order. My wife wanted the ribs (and some cheesecake)and I wanted to try some of the hot links. We really didn’t want sides this trip.
They had an order for 3 ribs but I didn’t think that would be enough. The counter girl worked with me and offered me a deal on 4 ribs with 2 hot links and a buy one get one free cheesecake (was not posted anywhere) for about 13 bucks.
When I got home I found that there was a 5th rib thrown in for nothing.
If you like the food or not, the service is great–

WSeaFam2MemberWhere is this place located? I am really missing out :(

B-squaredParticipantTried the chicken and the ribs, as well as the potato salad and slaw at Jones. still prefer Pigiron by a looooong shot, both for the food and that it is truly “dine in” or take out. just wish they were open more often:(
July 16, 2010 at 2:07 am #698316
CaitParticipantHad Jones tonight – great as usual! I can’t fault them for what seems to be the hallmark of any BBQ place, but they were out of brisket and hot links by 6pm. I’m still partial to Willy’s Taste of Soul in RB, but this scratched the itch and I’m glad they’re in WS:)

WSeaFam2MemberThank you for turning me on to Jones B-B-Que we had it tonight and I really enjoyed it. Tasted Yummy We went in about 5pm and it was not that busy got our food fast. I ordered the Rib dinner and there was alot of food. We are going back and I am trying the Brisket. Oh I thought the pricing was ok alittle over $14.00 for a one person dinner, that is the only thing that would keep me from eating it more

ksawkaMemberI tried the ribs the first week they were open. It took along time to get my food at lunch time as a huge family ordered before me. But once I got home with my ribs I was blown away. Soooo good. Brick yard is also very good. But I gotta say the Jones might be a step up in taste as far as the ribs go. I also heard that the brisket is awesome.
