Jenkins Quality Barbecue on Emerson St truly captures the essence of comfort food! 🌟 I stopped by for lunch and was impressed by the casual, welcoming atmosphere. I tried the half chicken sandwich, which was generously portioned and packed with flavor from that fantastic mustard sauce. Just a tip - ask for the sauce on the side, especially if you prefer crisp fries!

The staff was friendly, sharing their cooking style and allowing tastings. It's a popular spot for a reason, perfect for families and groups. Can't wait to return for more of those juicy ribs! 🍖 What's your favorite dish here?
