Jomax BBQ prides itself on being a cornerstone of the Metter community. This barbecue restaurant spends hours perfecting their recipes to offer patrons authentic Southern flavors. Locals come together to enjoy lunchtime favorites during peak hours, particularly on Fridays when the restaurant is packed at noon. However, the vibe shifts in the evenings, creating a more laid-back atmosphere perfect for a relaxed dinner post-5 PM. The menu showcases various categories catering to different tastes, from appetizers and Southern salads to smoked BBQ platters and comforting breakfast options.

One of the standout features is the restaurant’s commitment to quality.

Each dish prepared emphasizes freshness and flavor; the ground beef for the hamburger steak is always top-notch, while the brisket melts in your mouth. Vegetarians can also find solace in the veggie-rich sides like the fried green tomatoes, which bring joy to anyone looking for a lighter option.

Moreover, Jomax BBQ engages with the community beyond the dining experience. Regular events and specials—like the occasional ‘smoked pork chops’ dinner—bring locals together for fun-filled evenings. The restaurant supports local farmers and suppliers, sourcing ingredients whenever possible. This commitment to community extends to the ambiance, where local art often adorns the walls, making the space feel personal and inviting. Behind every meal at Jomax BBQ lies a dedication to producing hearty food that gathers family and friends around the table.

Customer Reviews

It wasn't our first time in this restaurant. We love to stop here whenever we are around the neighborhood. Food is yummy! Service is friendly and welcoming. Environment is awesome with plenty of tables. We order quarter of chicken with baked beans, sweet potatoes fries and corn bread. Texas burger that had pulled pork, bacon and onion rings between the bread. Ribs with coleslaw, sweet potatoes fries and corn bread.

Jo-Max is one of the best BBQ restaurants in Georgia. Everything I've ever had has been delicious and fresh. The service is always good and it's usually busy. The daily specials good. On of my favorite items is the homemade 15 layer cake. Outstanding!!!

I was driving thru Metter yesterday on 16 and starving! I asked Siri to show me restaurants nearby and decided to happen upon this place. I went in to place a to go 20 minutes before close and they were packed. I ordered the Jumbo Bbq sandwich, sweet potato fries and fried squash. I had already blown my caloric intake with this order and I spotted the caramel layer cake! OMG I cannot rave about this food enough! It's probably the best bbq I've had in years. The ladies at the counter were so sweet and helpful. As I mentioned they were packed and my food still took less than ten minutes. Not gonna lie I'm literally savoring this cake and breaking off a little piece a day. See you guys when I come back thru in a couple weeks! Definitely going to be my new pit stop between Savannah and Macon.

The place was crowded but the wait time was less than 5 minutes. I ordered the pulled pork meal. The meat was juicy and the sides were delicious. I will definitely be eating there again.
