"We have been to many places for BBQ from NY to Nashville to Dallas to California, but so far this is one of bests. The smoked wings with hot spice BBQ sauce was mouthwatering. The chicken was fresh and well cooked with flavor in every bite. The pulled chicken with BBQ sauce again was with great taste and flavorful. Lastly, we also ordered meat combo with the most juicy and amazing sausage, and chicken, but would not recommend it for the combo. The BBQ sauce on the table is also amazing! They also gave us banana pudding for free which was a cherry on top It's a must visit if you are in Atlanta and do visit on a Wednesday for a 50 cent wing. Cheers to you guys! 2nd visit on Wednesday: Unfortunately the wings were really dry,no where near to what I had earlier on Monday.Server confirmed they are the same wings, so I guess it's lack of consistency or it's 50 cent wing thing."

"Good solid down home. Southern BBQ place. Today was her anniversary special and actually we get pulled pork sandwiches for $1. So that was an amazing deal.. We had great service from the host of the status to our server and also other people ran the food so they're working as a team. It was good to see. Our sandwiches for excellent. I really enjoyed the sweet sauce on one. Then I have the spicy sauce on the other and both for excellent. It. Fries are very good, fresh and seasoned very well. Family downfall the visit was when we were leaving. The pit master who was getting the ribs out of the smoker had a cigarette hang out of his mouth while he was taking them out. Who's having to reach up to get the ribs out of the top and then bend down. Put them on a car to take him in there and when he's bending down with a car has had this right over the ribs that he's putting in the cart to bring inside with cigarette and his mouth. I did not think that was very good. But I don't think that the management's going to read the review so you just have to take it for what it's worth. I guess a little cigarette ash is not much different than the char and the burn ends lol"

"First time at JD's in downtown Woodstock. The young man who seated us was super friendly and very patient with me while I was trying to decide where to sit. Went at lunch time on Sunday, wasn't very busy. Our server Cal was the best. Offered great recommendations and couldn't have been any nicer. Our food was great. My cheeseburger was super tasty and my husband couldn't stop talking about how awesome his blackened grouper sandwich was. The atmosphere and Cal made our first time at JD's a great Sunday lunch date for me and my husband. We will be going back for sure."

"Finally, a very good TRUE brunch buffet! On Superbowl Sunday Karen and I decided to try the brunch buffet at a BBQ place in Woodstock called JD's (the original) not downtown or the lake! We go to JD'S a couple of times a month for ok bbq (best around in my opinion but I am very picky on bbq) JD"S has been plugging this generation of brunch for awhile. I find most buffets to be medi0cre at best food temps being a huge issue as most hot to warm food is on the cool side for all of the dishes, and as a "brunch" goes, there is more "br" breakfast food and very little "unch" lunch/dinner type maine dishes. JD'S was a very pleasant surprise...about 50/50 br and unch! The breakfast side, everything you could want from very fresh looking fresh fruit, cheese grits, scrambled eggs (firm not soupy), rustic sausage patties, southern fried potatoes, French toast (cut into quarters...liked that) and lest I forget the eggs benedict station, eggs your way station and fresh waffles made to order. Everything med to hot! Now for the "unch" to start, Prime rib station ( withe horseradish sauce and au jus), frseh hand battered chicken tenders, FRESH oysters on the half shell, and appropriate sauce/horseradish, then mixed greens salad station with a nice mayo potatoe salad, pan fried fresh carrots and green beans, smoked meatloaf, poached salmon, smoked chicken, smoked pork loin and yes smoked brisket (hot, glistening and fresh). Now, JD's also provides non-alcoholic beverages in the brunch. The food was kept fresh and warm to hot due to the constant attention paid by the staff to the stations, not overloading and leaving...checking and refilling more often. We had the pleasure of having our server Madison complimenting the experience with her fun and attentive demeanor,(no piles of plates, no empty drinks) just very good service! For the two of us $74 dollars including tax! Very good value for a great spread of food...now, for us, once a month will be all we can hold, however, I could easily see others making it more frequently.. for us , not the price, it's the carbs I can't resist pounding down. Overall a 4.5 out of 5 from us and I hope it keeps up that way...I have a feeling it will! The brunch is only offered Sunday's from 10 - 2. I recommend giving it a shot but come hungry! Warning: the selection is so good and tempting your gorged before you know it and the misery factor can be very high...I couldn't partake of our Superbowl party and wasn't able to consume food for almost 24 hrs...in all honesty, partly my fault! p.s. I almost forgot the biscuits and gravy..."
