C J's BBQ & Soul Food Catering

C&J's has been open in this location for a little over a month, but they've been catering for sometime now. We finally got around to checking them out, and bottom line is they're legit good. Not only do they offer stand 'cue, but also fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and other southern comfort food specialties. Their hours may vary, and they may be closed some nights for catered events. Check their Facebook page for updates, which are frequent. https://www.facebook.com/cjbbqcateringChatted with the pitmaster, and his origin was from New Orleans, and up the Mississippi through Chicago, if that gives you a sense for his style. I had the pulled pork, which was perfectly done, and the wife had the chicken, which was also excellent, and also totally moist. The smoked mac was a pleasant surprise. They're located in The Market, which unfortunately has gone to seed somewhat, but all the best BBQ joints are hole-in-the-wall family joints anyway, so don't let that fool you. I really hope this place succeeds, they deserve our support. I'll be returning.

Only words i have for CJ's is WOW..Outsatnding !!.Ordered the Catfish Dinner and The Perch dinner..It was prepared perfect..best breading i've had and were big pieces.The sides were delicious and the roll was a great addition.The staff are fantastic and very friendly and great hosts..I will surely be back many times for more of their great meals..And......The pulled pork sandwich..Excellent !!Delicious food

LISTEN!!!!! The service was absolutely amazing.... THE FOOOODDDDD NOW IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO TASTE SO GOOD....I ordered jerk chicken potato salad greens cornbread and a strawberry crunch cake slice and when I tell you the only thing missing was a blanket when I was done. Hands down giving any bbq spot from Wisconsin a run for their money........100/10 recommend stopping here for an amazing palate awakening experience.
