JJs BACKGROUND:
JJs Meat Shak started in 2011 as a weekend food truck in the small town of Buena Vista selling pork barbeque, specialty burgers & fresh cut fries. The food truck was such a success that the owner decided to start building more and more seating and eventually closing it in to accommodate guests through the winter season. JJ’s is owned by Lew & Kendra Hamilton and named after their children Jacob & Jessica. The family also operates the restaurant with the help of their extended family and friends. JJ’s Meat Shak is open 7 days a week with daily and weekend specials that include favorites other than barbecue, such as seafood platters, specialty burgers, wood-fired pizzas, and down- home country classics. When you’re finished with your slow cooked “fall of the bone” ribs, mouthwatering fried oysters or the famous “Hog Pen”, you can indulge in a cup of Hershey’s hand dipped ice cream, with many flavors to choose from. If you’re trying to feed a large group, JJ’s offers a “Feed Yer Folks’ menu for parties up to 30 people. They also have an amazing catering menu that is great for weddings, corporate functions, collegiate events – just about anything you can think of!! If you don’t see what you’re looking for, their catering manager will build a menu for you! No matter what size or type of event – JJ’s is the right choice for catering!

🍖 Meat Tip Monday at JJ’s Meat Shak!
Want to grill like a pit master? Start your week off right with expert tips straight from the smoker:

Salt Is Your Best Friend
A good sprinkle of salt before you cook helps the meat retain moisture and boosts flavor—no need for complicated seasoning blends

Preheat & Clean Your Grill
Always heat your grates before cooking and give them a good brush-down. Clean grates prevent sticking and ensure even cook temperatures

Low & Slow for Smoke Ring Perfection
Smoking at 225–250 °F brings out the juiciest cuts and creates that coveted pink smoke ring in brisket

Choose Quality Cuts
Look for good marbling in beef for extra flavor. Bone‑in chicken retains heat better for tenderness, while turkey benefits from indirect heat to cook evenly

At JJ’s Meat Shak, flavor isn’t a shortcut — it’s a slow craft.

Meet our secret weapon: the Old Hickory Pit Smoker, where the magic happens. This beast can handle:

🐄 40 briskets

🐖 105 racks of ribs

🍗 72 whole chickens

🦃 32 turkeys
…and still have room for your cravings. 😎

🥩🔥 Fun Facts About Smoking Meat
Low & Slow: Most meats are smoked at 225–250°F for hours. It’s what gives them that juicy, fall-apart texture.

Smoke Rings Are Real: That pink ring you see in brisket? It’s a natural reaction between smoke and meat proteins.

Flavor Comes From Wood: Hickory, oak, cherry — each wood gives a different smoky personality. We use the good stuff.

Resting Is Key: After hours in the smoker, resting locks in the juice and flavor. No shortcuts here!

Come taste the difference a real smoker makes.
