So I have been here many times. This time I tried something new and I forgot to take a picture. I saw they had a breakfast menu so I asked to have a LB pulled pork and 2 eggs over easy on top. I should have ordered 4-5 over easy on top. Nothing like some good yolk running all over a perfectly flavored pulled pork. I promise next time! Service was with a smile and good conversation. Eating on my bag of pork skins I grabbed on the way out.. they are delicious. Don't need any bbq sauces in these either. I have been here after many games against Portal, and will do so in the future. No high falootin expensive decor, just great food and Great Service! You're gonna want to bring the whole family!!

Nice little place in town to grab a bite to eat. I’m not a huge barbecue fan, so I tend to eat their burgers or chicken tender salad. Banana pudding is incredible. Prices are great too.

Hands down...some of the best ribs I've tasted...juicy..tender and full of favor. All the meat I purchased was tender and juicy and all the food was FRESH. The service was excellent and the wait time was very short....It really was a great experience and I forgot to tell you the reason for my visit was the homemade caramel covered pound cake....soooo good

I dined in as I had some time on my way to work and was warmly greeted by staff. The menu has a lot to offer and is very straightforward. Staff is knowledgeable and offered suggestions of some of their best dishes. I went with the Panther basket (local schools mascot is a Panther). You get your choice of meat on a bed of crinkle cut fries and then your choice of toppings of jalapeños and grilled onions as well as bacon, ranch, cheese and bbq sauce. I opted for brisket and pulled pork, cheese and the house made bbq sauce. The portion is huge, I ate about half and had to get a to go box for the rest. The service was fast and friendly and I waited about 10 minutes for my food order to be prepared. I ordered the sweet tea (being a southerner that in itself is it’s own food group lol) and it was great. The food was hot and fresh, the meat was plentiful and delicious and the house made sauce was honestly perfection. It was moderately busy as it was after lunch. I normally get a to go plate for my father and today I decided to eat in and try this place for myself. I look forward to coming here again. If you’re looking for a great bbq restaurant that is not only welcoming with a friendly staff and friendly atmosphere but also serves amazing food, you’ll find it here at Baby CJ’s.
Great place to be…. The staff is super-friendly, caring, great servers, and take their jobs seriously, as in serving the community. In addition, when you enter the restaurant, theirs a sense of family and friendship. What makes a community? Visit Baby CJ’s, it’s the place 2 eat!Kid-friendliness: Families frequently visits with their children. We laugh together, dance together, we enjoy people from all walks of life….think family (familia). It’s the place 2 be!
I ate here a few weeks ago with family, and the food and service were outstanding. They are open on Weds. To Saturday, so plan your day to eat here. The meat is smoked to perfection. I ate the sampler platter of chopped pork, a half of a chicken, 2 ribs, and 2 sides (like $18.99), and it was so tender it fell off the bone. I had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. Best BBQ I have ever had, and I love BBQ. I am definitely making a point to eat there whenever I am in Georgia (FL girl here).
We drove from Statesboro, was well worth the drive. The food was really good. Much better than what's available in Statesboro. The owner was friendly and so was the staff. The restaurant was clean.

Family owned business where are truly treated like family! The ribs, tender, the chicken, juicy and the pulled pork was on point. The Mac and cheese was homemade (Down Home Homemade), and the Brunswick Stew? Delicious! Atmosphere is subdued, yet it was comforting being here. Would recommend if you are in Portal, GA and want great food, you need to be here!
Excellent service. Fast and friendly.
