COLOR ME SURPRISED!
Jones BBQ was a real gem of a find in Victoria. Their brisket sandwich is not only delicious, but something that brought me back over the course of my stay in BC.
I also ordered (during one of my subsequent visits) their pulled pork, their sliced brisket, and their home-made links.
There wasn't anything I didn't like at JBBQ. The only thing that I didn't really care much for were their beans; for me the only thing I could taste were the molasses, but my better half loved their flavor and consistency.
Excellent service with a big friendly smile and very attentive to our needs.
Rustic ambiance but clean and fresh - no schmutz anywhere.
Prices were decent - not over-priced but "right priced".
I'm going to come back here next time I'm in Victoria.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 16, 2023
For our last meal, we decided to try out Jones Bar-B-Que which specializes in southern Texas style BBQ. They're next door to Patisserie Daniel with a second location out in Langford.
We dropped in on a Tuesday (noon). There's a couple tables inside. Order at the counter, pay, then wait for your name to be called. Sauces (ketchup, BBQ, malt vinegar) and cutlery are by the drink station.
One daily happy hour (8:00pm-9:00pm) where sandwiches are 50% off with the purchase of a boozy beverage.
- 3 Meats plate ($28.00) - brisket, pork ribs, pork butt, fries, slaw, mini brioche and pickles. Pork ribs were good. Pork butt and brisket were on the dry side. Meats lacked a strong, smoky note. Fries were fine but the slaw was bland, practically flavourless.
Would try the Jones big crunch sandwich (fried chicken) if we were to return. 3.5 stars.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mitch B.Victoria, Canada04Jul 7, 2024
Nothing but the respect for the staff and the food 5/5
There was real chemistry between the coworkers and that's really important for quality of food and work moral
Still chuckling about a real awesome remark someone said defending another coworker that was over nothing
Super awesome staffHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brandon P.Cadboro Bay, Victoria, Canada01Jun 28, 2024
Incompetent staff, nothing is ever ready on time but they sure will take your money and then beg you to wait for ten minutes because they screwed up.
Also they don't care about female customers that's clear. The male order taker just lets male customers cut in front of female ones. Saw it happen around 755pm Friday June 28, 2024 - owner watch your security footage.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Melisa B.Burns Lake, Canada03511Jul 5, 2024
The food was really good here. We had the Mama's platter, shared it between three of us and still had some leftover. The brisket was really tender, the sausage spicy, and the pulled pork flavorful. I also liked the BBQ sauces. The Alabama white sauce was my favorite. The fresh lemonade was also great. I'd eat here again.

COVID #45
Disclaimer: I smoke my own meat at home, so I came here to see how it stacks up.
I don't know what wood they use but mine has a heavier wood smoke flavour. That said, the food here is good. I just prefer a more robust smokiness.
Smoked pork butt and brisket were both very tender and flavourful. I didn't use any sauces. The brisket was not too dry and I got a portion of the flat, which is the leaner part of the brisket. Fried chicken was a bit underseasoned. The chicken sandwich was slightly spicy and a solid choice.
Worth a visit.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Northern S.Port Alberni, Canada01Mar 25, 2024
Just couldn't leave Victoria without giving a shout-out to the awesomeness of this place. The food is really great but moreso the staff are super. They have a great combined vibe, really helpful and nice. One of them suggested places I should see along my roadtrip route, which I never would have known to do. Another made sure I was aware that yes, even though I'm gluten-free, I CAN eat their fried chicken!! And...if you smile nice at the really handsome chef, he just MIGHT scramble you an egg for your side.
Seriously you made my time here delightful. Peace.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Thomas F.North Saanich, Canada03Jun 2, 2024

We came by Jones BBQ based on the reviews from Yelp and left a little disappointed. We ended up getting half a pound each of brisket and pork butt and although it was good, I felt it was a bit dry. The most disappointing thing definitely would have had to be the corn bread as it was dry and hard.

Have driven past this place for years and finally tried it. Great service and vibe. We ordered the mamas Platter which was supposed to be for 2-3 people but it was so big we have tonnes of leftovers. The pork ribs were our favorite
