    a red building with white trim
    Michael L.

    Outstanding BBQ in a very unique building on the outskirts of town. Unless you live in the area, you'll need GPS to find this place. The interior of the restaurant is larger than it looks and there is plenty of seating. I love it when old buildings are re-purposed and this one was once an auto repair shop. It's a cool, funky, laidback atmosphere. It was exactly what we were looking for on our visit to Whitewater. The employee who took my order was cool and friendly too and was very knowledgable about the food. My family and I had the brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and mac-n-cheese. Everything was delicious and we'll be back again. They have a full bar and there was live music on the day we were there.

    Not being a huge BBQ fan, I've only eaten at Casual Joe's a couple of times. It always struck me a more of a BBQ purist type of place. When I heard that they had changed the concept, I decided to give it another try. I didn't fully explore, but they have reworked the space, so it does not feel as industrial as before. I'd say the best way to describe the new design as kind of a BBQ Chipotle theme, where you chose your meat and then build from there. They still have the smoked meats and sandwiches, but have added an interesting mix of bowls, salads and other items to the menu. I went with chicken bowl that was served on a bed of mac and cheese that had sriracha and I think a Korean sauce on it, along with some other toppings that I can't recall. It was quite good and unique (at least for Whitewater). I'm surely going to work Casual Joe's into my lunch rotation.

    Outside! Check out that smoker. Can't wait to go back!

    Bomb dot com Barbecue! What an authentic Midwest experience. The smoker where All the meats are smoked sits right in front of the restaurant. The vibe is super casual but very fascinating. The brisket is off the hook and I'm still craving more of it! THe Mac and cheese is a fan favorite so much that they were actually out of it by the time we ordered. Corn bake and corn bread are also AWESOME!

    Stopped by spur of the moment when i saw the smoke truck right out front and a renovated garage. NOT disappointed. Delicious pulled pork brisket slaw and the bacon mac is 'da bom' . Cool place and you get a cold brew to wash it down. You have look for it as its outside the downtown main drag but not by much. Find it.

    Best place to eat in whitewater hands down. This place is like chipotle but with brisket and Mac and cheese. Highly recommend the Mac smash bowls. Insanely good.

    Good food. Got the sausage and brisket sandwich. Lots of meat and two side can't go wrong with this one . Wife got the smash bowl and again you won't leave hungry. Good smoke flavor.

    See all

    While the food was good I had a disappointing enough service experience that I probably will not be going there again.

    Had the Korean Smash bowl. Loved it! Thought the seasoning on the meat had a great flavor. Will definitely be back for this again!!
