Jawbone catered a dinner for the company I work for. Everything was fabulous!! The pulled pork and the pulled chicken were juicy and tender and perfectly smoked. The green beans tasted like my mom's and the cheesy potatoes were super. Best broccoli salad ever and the banana pudding was great! I brought some home to my boyfriend and he turned down going out for dinner tonight in favor of having the remainder of the leftovers and is now wanting to drive 48 miles from our house to go to the restaurant to have dinner. We both really enjoyed it very much!

I’ve had barbecue from all around the US, and this place is a hidden gem. Delicious pulled pork! Don’t need sauce, great without it

Since moving to Indiana last year from East Tennessee, my fiance and I have been looking for the BBQ we had grown to love back at home. This is by far the best BBQ we’ve had since moving here & is a very close 2nd to our favorite Big Dan’s back at home in Elizabethton, TN. The potato salad is fantastic & the cheesy potatoes were great, as well as the pulled pork and chicken. The Carolina BBQ sauce is as authentic as it gets, would give 10 stars if I could.

I hosted a bridal shower there on Sunday and the owners were so easy to work with. They went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. The atmosphere there was so comfortable. We had them cater as well and I received so many compliments on how good the food was. I will host an event there again. :)

My husband and I had Jawbone cater our wedding and it was one of the highlights of our wedding day! Throughout the whole planning process, Kaylie from Jawbone was very responsive and helped make our dream wedding a reality! We were able to have a private tasting with Brad and it was an awesome experience to learn more about the restaurant and choose the dishes we wanted to include for our wedding buffet. They have so many different options to choose from, doesn’t even have to be BBQ! We went with their Italian buffet option and got so many compliments on the bacon ranch tortellini. They served the buffet at our wedding and even helped clean up plates afterwards. Could not recommend Jawbone BBQ enough, their staff is professional and considerate and the food was delicious! We are so happy we chose to go with a local restaurant with delicious and fresh ingredients!

had excellent breaded and grilled pork tenderloins at Jawbone BBQ in Advance, IN. twice the size of the bun but still thick and moist with plenty of pork flavor. lightly seasoned breading that complemented the pork without overwhelming it. fries and tots were crispy without being over seasoned. the coleslaw was sweet with a hint of vinegar. the pulled pork was generous and moist with a hint of smoke. 3 choices for bbq sweet, spicy and Carolina.
