    Great service, really good food and fantastic selection of beer.  Some many specials, you have to go in to see what's the special for the day. Beer selection is diverse, but not full of weird or obscure beers.  Expect a LOT of food when you order.

    Picked up take out brisket, turkey, pulled pork and ribs. Had JDs once before and it tasted like leftovers they microwaved.; so wanted to try again. Brisket was average at best, ribs were good, turkey was pressed turkey and salty and pulled pork tasted rancid. The bar may be great, but the food not so much. Don't recommend.

    I really wanted to like this place....but I was so severely underwhelmed by JD's. Our waitress was ok but unremarkable. I had the pulled pork "baconator", while my wife had the "best brisket of the county for 2017 and 2018". This brisket certainly didn't live up to this hype and was the single driest brisket either of us have ever had. The Baconator was woefully devoid of any taste. I don't know if this is a chain or a single mom and pop restaurant but either way, it's got some work to do.

    Really good burgers!!!! Excellent beer!!! Service was with a smile. Try the specials. The brisket reuben was tasty but my bit had too much fat for my liking. Good for families if you go in on the early tip. My super hungry kid got a great sized cheeseburger meal. We will be back!

    First, the food is great.  I never had a bad meal.  The burgers, sandwich's, wings - all great!  However, beware of the beer prices.  They have an extensive menu but at cost.  They really need to add prices to the beer list.  I ordered two beers and wings and it was close to 35.00.  I confirmed the prices after the fact and the waitress just laughed.  Sorry but never again.   I don't mind paying for a good beer but 9.00 a beer.  Not for me!
