Our food arrived on time but was no longer warm. They also forgot to put in one of the kids meals we ordered. The other kids meal we ordered, chicken strips, were hard and not appetizing at all. We?ve ordered from them a few times and this was the first time they actually included bbq sauce, but only one small dish for 4 meals.

It took over an hour and half to get my food. And hour of that was delivery time, so naturally, my good was not hot when it arrived. The amount of turkey that came with my half slab 2 meat meal was pitiful. They also did not provide any bbq sauce. None at all. Seems like a pretty important component for a bbq restaurant to provide with a meal. And the worst part is this is the THIRD time ordering from them that they forgot to include sauce. Food is good but the service is so poor it?s not really worth it

Normally, we have great things to say about Jethros, but this order was different. The ribs were not done, the burnt ends were complete fat, and the customer service when picking up the order was not up to par. There were five workers standing in the area for pickup not doing anything, ignored us, and relied on the bartender to come help while he was busy.
