Tried it, the food was mediocre and dry. Overall I’d rather have Famous Dave’s personally.

Get rid of the bird lady...from what I expect and know from John Hardy's, she's not up to par.

Stopped in for lunch today. Ordered the 1/4 chicken dark. The chicken was small. Looked like Bantam chicken. Tasted like smoke no seasoning. Brought it up to the guy working the register and he ignored me. I took a picture if you care to see it.

John Hardy's has always been one of our favorite Bbq places. We love the chicken, pork or turkey on jo jo's with medium sauce over all. We went out of our way to drive there on our trip to see the fall colors. Love it!

Can't speak about the food. We just walked out as one of your employees swore at a member of our party. We were waiting in the entry way because there were dirty tables everywhere. Pretty disappointing. 

Business response:

Hi Megan, I am appalled at the way you were treated. I can assure you that individual is not representative of our culture or how we conduct business. Please send us a private message so we can speak with you further about this incident. Aaron Owner
