Well I had to make a trip to BJ’s Carolina Café, Jarvisburg, NC just to get some bbq. You see we stop here a lot but I don’t usually get their bbq. So before I get too far into this one let me say that “I love this restaurant”. Thank you. I’ll explain later.

BJ’s Carolina Café BBQ Combo Plate

So as I said we went down for some bbq and to take some pictures for the blog post. I’m going to have to be honest and say the que was not great this time. I have written another review on them from notes I had from the scrapbook that Tammy made and according to that I used to really enjoy it. I’m hoping that it was just an off day for them this time. But that said, the que didn’t have a lot of flavor. It almost tasted old or stale. Once I added sauce to it I was able to enjoy it a little more. Now I ordered a combo plate with the bbq and ribs. The ribs were really good. I still prefer baby backs over the regular ones but these had a lot of good flavor.

I also had their slaw and fries with my meal. Both of these were very good. The fries were fresh cut style and wonderful.

On this trip Tammy ordered a chicken salad wrap which she said was fantastic.

So, anyone would realize that the management of BJ’s Carolina Café would not be totally pleased with this review and I wouldn’t blame them. That’s why I have to take this one a little further than normal. Like I said, I love this place.

Why? Well I stopped eating their bbq a long time ago when I discovered their seafood. I firmly believe that BJ’s can go toe to toe with any restaurant in the OBX with their seafood (fried of course). Once I found this out I started eating seafood there instead of bbq. I can get really good bbq close to home. I have to travel for seafood, so this was an obvious choice for me.

But wait! That’s not all. They also serve up some awesome pasta dishes which I have enjoyed over the years. Most of my pasta choices involved shrimp or scallops and were to die for.

And lest we forget…the desserts are killer. Just look in the cooler/case when you walk in and you’ll understand. They taste as good as they look, any of them.

So this is why I recommend BJ’s Carolina Café, Jarvisburg, NC to anyone going that way. You can find something on the menu that is sure to please. This is also why I say I love this place and want to write the extra for them. I’m also sure that when they read this they will check out their bbq to be sure. Like I said it may have been an off day.

I also have seen their involvement in the community and how they reach out to help those in need. Even though I have no real connection with this business I do have a connection with their heart and caring attitude.

I fully recommend going here. I also welcome comments/thoughts on your visit.

As for me: I love BJ’s Carolina Café. I just need them to do a check on their que. Thanks.
