Joe-bear Sons Texas Bbq - Macon

I'm always with Joe Bear and sons, great people, good food. they had cracked my daughter's birthday party and the children ate it all. you should try soon, you'll love it.

Came from Michigan, headed to Florida. This is the best bbq we have ever had!!!! We loved all of it!! Owner is really cool guy, stopped and chatted. If you want real southren home cooking. This is it!!! :

Spending the day in Macon and it was time for lunch. My daughter pulled up Google and found Joe-Bear Sons. Great choice. Looks like the family keeps a lot of positions staffed. Food was excellent, service as fast, and the restaurant was very clean. Worth traveling a little out of your way for Joe-Bear Sons.

I ordered brisket and rib platter with sides of cole slaw and collards with a piece of corn bread. Ribs were big, meaty, and really good, nice flavor and perfectly cooked. The collards were also very good. The cole slaw was just what I expected, very nice. I was very dissapointed by the brisket, it was inedible. So dry and chewy, I would have been too embarrassed to serve it. More like jerky than brisket. It looked like pan scrapings. The corn bread was equally as bad, burned and dry. I got the spicy sauce on the side for my ribs, it was good, but not very spicy. I would order the ribs and collards, again, but that is all, and probably will just try another place since I feel like I got ripped off on the brisket.

New to macon and heard good things about them so i tried them out 7/30/17 Open 2-5 on sunday whinch is great. I ordered beef ribs w/mild sauce on the side, Baked beans and potatoe salad.... The rib meat was very tender and fell completely off the bone, but the more i ate the more the taste didnt settle with me. The sauce was horrible made me happy i ordered it on the side!! Baked beans tasted more like a bowl of brown sugar. And the potatoe salad also disappointed me bc all i could taste was mustard and real mayo and i am a (tater salad) fan!!! *note...as greedy as i am i DID NOT finish my plate. Maybe i ordered the wrong thing, but i will not be coming back for a while ... if ever! Rate: 2 out of 5 stars
