Review from Eric S.

J & J Barbeque located in The Nelson General Store is some of the best barbeque that I have had on the Mississippi River, and definitely on the norther extent. Service is exceptional and the small town kind. My favorite is the BBQ pork sandwich with a healthy dose of tabasco and cole slaw which is a steal for $5.95. I have rode the motorcycle down Hwy 35 (The Great River Road) from St. Paul to Nelson just to get lunch here.

Review from Matt K.

My fiance and I drove the scenic trip down Highway 35 from Menomonie just to experience J&J BBQ. The restaurant itself is very unique because it's a combination general store, antique haven, and BBQ joint all in one. Atmosphere is definitely not lacking here!
It is run by an elderly couple who are very nice. They refilled my Coke free of charge and chatted about their sauce for awhile too. Very nice down home country people. Have to love that kind of service.
It took about 5 minutes and out came my shredded brisket sandwich. The beef by itself is not heavy on the smoke at all and it was quite dry, but that's not a bad thing. Their vinegar based BBQ sauce is right on the table to drench your brisket in. The thin and runny vinegar based sauce is mild and is the perfect compliment to their beef brisket. There is some fat on the brisket, but not too much even for me who hates bundles on fat on meat.
My brisket came with baked beans that had a delicious and unique flavor and a boat load of french fries all for $7. What a deal!
My fiance had the pork sandwich and she really enjoyed it.
We'll come back for sure! However, I wouldn't go out of your way for J&J. It's good, but not "50 mile detour" good. However, if you're in Nelson, WI or nearby, stop by for some great Americana!
