Reviews Smokey Joe's Bar-b-que

I was in the area and was craving for some barbecue. I found this place, which was good for me. I tried the Triple platter, it includes 1/3 of brisket, 1 sausage and 1 rib, a choice of side, vinegar onions, jalapeños, 2 slides of bread and the barbecue sauce on the side. First, the sauce was delicios, not too sweet and a kick of spicy. I would have give it 5 star if the meet was warm or hot, and if the potato salad (too sweet) that I choose for the side didn't taste a mashed potatoes with the potato salad ingredients. Also, liked that the place was clean and the employees were very friendly. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and when you leave, they acknowledge you a a patron. I will give it a other shot next time I'm in the area.

I only gave the atmosphere 3 stars because of them benches, they not friendly to the behind. Customer service was good but nothing special. They took our order and gave us our food, so that is my total experience, not bad but nothing special. Food was on point and delicious. That brisket mac n cheese is worth a 30-minute drive. I'll be back

Nice atmosphere, friendly people & good food. Seating was uncomfortable. Got the Maxi Sandwich with ribs & sweet potato pie. Sandwich was amazing. Great flavor with the pickled onions and pickles. Ribs were juicy and fall off the bone.

My friend Joe from Zavala’s BBQ took us here and Wow! Everything we had was so good and the meats were so tender they did not need a sauce at all. My personal favorite was the brisket. The sides were delicious too especially the beans and Mac and cheese. Bring friends so you can try everything! Lastly, save room for desserts!

This is our first time back under new ownership & with the renovations. My husband chose the Jamal , stuffed baker with three different meats & all the trimmings! He loved it , but not as much as he enjoyed the loaded Mac -n- cheese! A bit pricey, but I guess they are keeping up with all the other spots in the metroplex! 😋The wait wasn’t too bad for a Saturday evening. We’ll be back soon.

Straight to the point: Chopped brisket sandwich basket was great. Meat was very moist. Smokiness just right and not overdone. Fries were really good too. Even the ranch was really good (I think it’s homemade?). Would definitely come back if I was in there area. Long version: Stopped by on Friday, 02/25/22. No long line. They were still busy with people coming and going, but the service was quick. It took less than 10 minutes to receive our meal after placing an order. I ordered the chopped brisket sandwich basket. They toast the buns and I believe add butter. The brisket itself was very good and moist. The smokiness was just right and not overdone. I put on the BBQ sauce after taking my first plain bite and enjoyed it even more. The fries were pretty good too. Nothing out of this world, but I enjoyed them. The taste almost reminded me of the fries you get from Dickey’s BBQ. I believe they make their own ranch. It was really good too. It’s thick and not watery. A meal for three of us totaled out to $45. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area, but don’t think I’d go out of my way if you’re not close by. Only negative: My mom tried to order a peach cobbler for dessert. The cashier said they only serve it on Saturdays and Sundays. However, the menu says they also serve it on Fridays which my mom pointed out. The cashier apologized and said they unfortunately do not have any, but they would tomorrow. She was very nice, though. She made us feel welcome. Side note: Inside is very small. Which is probably why people usually just take their order to go. If you want to dine inside, there’s only about 6 tables. There’s a few tables outside as well.
