Husband and I on March 17/St Patrick's Day. The daily special was corn beef, cabbage, new potatoes and carrots. The BEST corn beef and cabbage I have ever tasted! OMG, I should have requested to take some extra home now that I am thinking about it now. Margaritas were also very good! Can't wait to try something new on next visit.
This has become my wife's and my favorite place to eat. The salmon is great and so are the ribs. The staff is always friendly. You do need a little muscle to get the doors open both coming in and going out. But well worth the pull and tug.
I'll tell you what....I love me some Jethros, but I may be choosing this place for BBQ from now on. Absolutely loved it. I got the Buckaroo Burger and Cheese sticks for an appetizer. They were both amazing. Friendly atmosphere, plenty of seating, and fair prices.
After reading reviews and checking out the menu online I was excited to eat here. As soon as I pulled the door open I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed. When you step into a BBQ place you should know with your eyes closed where you are, and this place starts by meeting that expectation...
We've been to Claxon's many times and it is always a solid experience. Last night our son ordered Baja tacos and they were great. My husband had the chicken fried chicken special and it was delicious! I had my usual, prime rib; it absolutely never disappoints- always fabulous...
