C J's BBQ & Fish - Barbecue restaurant in Richmond - 2401 Macdonald Ave, USA

What a hidden gem! We noticed the sign while entering the Travis AFB gate. Did a u-turn and headed straight there. The ribs are amazing! The folks running the place are some of the friendliest people; they're proud of what they are selling (and they should be). The BBQ ribs and brisket are incredible. I also ordered the fried catfish nuggets. The BBQ was much better so I ended up eating half of my husband's food. Which was fine, because the portion sizes of meat are plenty. We also enjoyed the macaroni salad. We'll definitely be back!!

Very high prices for the very small portions they sell. They were small child-size portions in tiny little cups. Even the fries were like half fries with maybe a dozen of the wee little chips. Ordered beans and got the equivalent of two tablespoons worth. This is my first time complaining, but not my first time eating there. Both times they didn't have the greens they advertise. The cornbread was dry, dry, dry. An unimpressive showing overall for the high prices they charge. I stopped in at 5:30pm and the ribs I got were made at 2pm I was told. I could hear the sounds of microwave doors being shut as I waited. For the stupidly high prices, I expected better quality and bigger portions. Such a poor representation of barbecue, and a shame for the city of Richmond. Curtis can do way better if he tries and cares enough to set higher standards.

Mediocre !!! The chicken taste old the sauce is way to sweet . They said $5 extra for baked Mac which is ridiculous because the noodles where extremely soggy because it was over cooked and had no flavor a waste of money .

This was $30.00 Do NOT waste your time or money, they CLEARLY don’t care.

Got ribs and sliced beef. The meat was cooked great The sauce was sweeter than expected. But still good. The people were very nice. We ate at their only table (very small place, mostly takeout orders) As we left we watched one of the staff escort an old lady across the street. (No, that was not a joke) Would recommend all day.

Been craving some BBQ and C J's HIT THE SPOT! Only wish was larger sides, baked beans good but pretty sweet, the coleslaw great! Ribs and brisket tender and juicy great smoked flavor 5 stars!

Amazing food and service. I drove by, it smelled great, so I stopped in. Staff was knowledgeable and even gave me a sample. This BBQ is out of control come check it out!

Picked up some on my way home. Very very good. I will be back again. And again. And again 🔥😂
