Thanks to a wrong turn I found this place. I will be back for more. Pulled pork nachos was the best around but you gotta get it with the j mac chips. You won't be disappointed.

Only 2 miles out of our way, and we loved it! I had a pulled pork sandwich and my husband had a brisket sandwich. They were amazing! There were a lot of pickup trucks there, so I knew the food had to be good. The staff were very friendly also

In Kentucky, as with every other southern state, each person has their favorite BBQ joint. J-Mack BBQ is not mine. But it does deserve an honorable mention. Everything they do, they do well, including the customer service which is friendly, warm, and personable. I've had a lot of BBQ nachos over the years, but J-Mack takes it to another level. They add slaw & beans to the pile of chips, pulled pork, nacho cheese, bbq sauce, and jalapenos. They give you the option of having the nachos made with traditional tortilla chips or with the J-Mack chips, which are homemade waffle cut potato chips with a barbeque seasoning on them. The chips are great by themselves or as the foundation of nachos.

Best BBQ around! You gotta getcha some! Careful with that J-Mack BBQ sauce 'cause you might just like your fingers off your hand! If you're in the area of Kentucky Lake, or just driving through it is worth the time to stop!

Some of the best dang BBQ you'll ever have. Got 5 lbs of the pulled pork for my mom's 50th bday a few months ago. Everyone agreed that it was so good. The mild sauce is so tangy and delicious, and the pulled pork is juicy and tender. My mom and I usually get 2 pulled pork sandwiches to go, but sometimes we get the BBQ nachos to and the cheese with BBQ sauce and pulled pork, and the house mad chips it's a beautiful mix of flavours. Highly recommend.

My husband and I stopped in on our way back to North Carolina. We ordered the pulled pork sandwiches and shared an order of nachos, all of it was absolutely incredible. The lady working the counter was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She was quick to recommend her favorites and let us know what she was out of, before we ordered. But best of all, the service was so fast I barely had time to get my straw for my drink before she was bringing my food out. I’d give this place 10 stars if Google would let me!
