History
It all started with a bucket of tar... At the ripe old age of 5, JR's dad took him in the office and introduced him to his first roll of 15lb roofing felt. And 34 years later, JR had roofed on every street in Sacramento. In 1986, JR met a Bar-B-Que man from Texas. And after looking at his bar-b-que, JR said this looked pretty similar to his tar pot. So thinking about it for awhile, JR said this looked easy and figured cooking tar and cooking bar-b-que would be the same. After sampling this Texas bar-b-que, JR decided this was the best, but wanted to put it to the test ... give it to some roofers (they don't agree on anything) and contractors that always think they are the best, and car salesmen looking for a good deal. They all agreed that this Texas Bar-B-Que was the best. As a result, JR opened JR's Texas Bar-B-Que in November 1987 a 20 seat restaurant on Otto Circle. Today, JR's occupies 7,800 square feet with a seating capacity of 149.
