Kenova is excellent! I have been to Kenova about 10 times. Everything there is amazing. The pulled pork nachos, pulled pork plate, Philly cheese brisket sandwich thing, and all the sides are very good. The servers are always kind and the environment is decent.

Service was good. I had the burnt ends and sausage. It was delicious! The place looked and smelled like a country bbq shack just like it should. Will definitely go back.

The meats are superb. The sides are good but not great. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is calm and spacious. I've ordered both inside and pickup. The quality and service are great either way. I think the high quality of the ingredients, other than the amazing burnt ends, of the salad speaks highly of the kitchen's commitment to quality. It seems pricey but is absolutely worth the cost.

I was stopping through Jackson during a road trip and was really craving barbecue, and when I saw the reviews for this place I knew I had to give it a try. Our server was so sweet and had some really great recommendations that me and my dad both loved. I'm not a huge baked beans person, but the pit beans are so dang good. Check this place out!

Great food and amazing service! Best wings I’ve tasted in a long long time. Their sauce is also great.

Food and service is always top-notch!! Our got-to is the Pulled Pork Nachos and Smash Burger. My wife and I typically get one or the other and split it with a salad. Their comeback dressing is amazing!!! One of the better restaurants in the area and we highly recommend it!!

Best BBQ EVAH! A must-stop in Jackson! We're from Oregon, and we'll come back just for this! Amelia was our server, and she was wonderful!

Absolutely horrendous horrible food! Yuck! To much burn was on the overcooked half smoked tiny chicken dry and tough. The fries had a bad aftertaste of scorched oil, crispy but tasted bad. The collard greens were the worst of all they were wayyy too spicy, vinegary and mushy just gross. The brisket was good. Upon entering no bbq smoked smell. Nothing tasted smoked or smelled smoked. This food is oven cooked in-house has to be. No way was this food prepared outside in a smoker. The food was reheated in the microwave because the middle was cold. The reviews on here are deceptive. People don't know what good quality food should taste like, look like or smell like.
Make sure to ask if they have the Texas Twinkee. It is a smoked jalapeno pepper stuffed with cheese wrapped in bacon. They don't have them too often, but you really need to try one if they have them. Another one of my favorite things is their house salad. It is always fresh and is large enough to be a meal.

Great food and you get a lot of it too. Some of our favorites are the brisket, mac and cheese, white cheddar grits, and banana pudding. The service is always great.

Great brisket and onion ringsWe will definitely be back for more
First time eating here and it won't be my last. I wish I had a photo but the food looked so good I dived right in. If you love BBQ this is worth it. Everything was delicious. I had the trash ribs with brisket chili and green beans. Let's just say they did not disappoint. See you soon!

Do not be fooled by the storefront or location. This place has top notch smoked meats, burgers and sides. Our server was very pleasant and Johnny on the spot. We went at 2pm so there were only a few other people eating. This was my first time, but my husband has been two other times. This review will be combo of his history and our meal together. The first time he came, he had the Smashburger with fries. He really enjoyed it, and was surprised how great a burger was at a smokehouse/barbecue joint. The next time he came, he had the burnt ends sandwich with mac & cheese. This is where his love for their mac & cheese started. So today we came for lunch together. I had not eaten much all day and my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I had the pick two platter, and I chose pulled pork and burnt ends. My sides were a house salad with their homemade ranch, mac & cheese times two because my husband wanted mac & cheese. You can add another side for two dollars. He got the Smashburger and fries. The pulled pork is so tender, perfectly cooked and a little bit of the super moist pulled pork along with the seasoned smoky edges.IYKYK. The fries were hot and delicious. The mac & cheese uses the cavatappi pasta and has the most delicious creamy white cheese sauce. It is rich and decadent. The salad is fresh cut lettuce, and I did not take the time to ask if the croutons were homemade, but something tells me they are. The garlic bread is cooked fresh to order and it was so amazing. The only sad thing about this experience is that we live so far away from this place. Please know that the pictures were taken after I applied barbecue sauce and added some of his fries. I cannot be held responsible for the quality of the pictures as my husband took them. Lol
