Reviews

Food was great and very reasonably priced. Got the junkyard which was excellent. Also was able to grab some pulled pork to go! Extremely friendly service, will be returning!

Dercks

Accidental find while exploring the Shawnee. Fabulous little road side stop/carry out. Very tasty, the “Junkyard” signature dish was delightful and heaping with goodness. Highly recommend!!

Can't say enough about this place the food was amazing I mean amazing.

Tameko Hargett

As a Texas baby, I have been extremely picky about my barbecue, and I have to say this is such a wonderful hidden joint. Good food made by people who know how to do it right! Always doing specials, and the Junkyard is my personal favorite. They know BBQ.

Lonnie Mann

Great place to get some good food and eat down by the river. Folks are very nice and the food is good. I recommend the sweet heat sauce.

I ordered a barbecued butt for our Easter dinner and that has got to be some of the best pork I have ever eaten! So tender and so flavorful!

Lorie Stair

The food is great unfortunately though most of the time they don't offer stuff that's shown on the menu I don't really care for that, other than that they serve fantastic barbecue!!!!! I love the the Junkyards!!!!!!
