After a couple of bad experiences here a few years ago, we had avoided this place with a passion. But the location is entirely too convenient, we were craving BBQ, so we gave it a try. We got take out, a loaded baked potato with beef and a three meat plate. The potato was cooked perfectly, and the chopped brisket was meaty and tender. The three meats (chicken, ribs, link) were smoked to perfection. The chicken was done but not dry (a miracle outcome on my smoker); the rib meat easily pulled right off the bone, but held together well; and the link was flavorful and juicy. The side dishes - green beans and loaded mashed potatoes - were just OK; but you don't come here for the veggies. There's a new owner in town, and it is readily apparent. Smitty, whoever TH he is, can rest easy, knowing that his namesake place is in good hands. read more

Place was Filthy. Hot inside. 3 tables. Several cars outside but no people inside in the front. Not sure what is taking place in the back. We should have left but decided to go ahead and order food. 2 sandwiches. Meat with a lot of sweet barbecue sauce. No smoke flavor to the meat. Not good at all. Who would give this 4 stars???? read more

Everything tastes great a little pricey so we only go about once a month -- my wife loves stuffed potato I've had pulled sandwiches ribs sliced brisket all good and blackberry cobbler is fantastic-- you go to counter and choose your food pay and go sit down nothing fancy read more

We stopped at this barbecue place on our way to Paris, TX and wow! Food quick to order - we got a 3 meat plate and loaded potato. For our sides we're baked beans and corn casserole. Everything was delicious! We miss Texas barbecue! read more

We LOVE this place. We have changed the way we travel to visit my family in Mississippi just so we can eat at Smitty's. Sliced and chopped brisket amazing! Ribs are falling off the bones. Sides are fabulous!! read more

Best bar b Q ever. I especially love the chicken, it falls off the bone! Very pleasant folks working there. Excellent!!!

Came into town and was looking a good barbecue place. This place did not disappoint. The ribs were really good as well as the sausage. Potatoes salad and Cole slaw was amazing. You could tell these were homemade. Let's not forget about the cobblers. We got one of each the first day. Came back and got several more the second day. read more

We're new in town. Came out of Walgreens and smelled the food from Smittys. We went in because of it. It's clean and the staff was very friendly. Food was great. Try the boudain, you won't be disappointed. ​ read more

Great Bbq. Service and setting was awesome. Great location with plenty of parking. Easy in and easy out.

My wife and I were camping at Martin Dies State Park. While traveling, we like to try the local barbecue. The staff at Smitty's was awesome, very polite and nice. You get a very nice amount of food for a very reasonable price. We had ribs and brisket. The ribs were quite tasty, although a little greasy. The brisket was good, but the sauce really helped the flavor. This is fairly typical Texas bbq, but I've had better. I would go back to Smitty's, but I reserve 5-star ratings for only the absolute best bbq restaurants, like Country Tavern, in Kilgore, Texas. read more

The food was not quite as good as it should be for the amount of money you're paying for it.

Easy location to find with lots of parking. The smoke on the ribs and chicken was perfection. The barbecue sauce is warm, thin, and has vinegar which I love but if you don't order it on the side. The baked beans were totally unremarkable. The pinto beans were good. The coleslaw was fresh and pure. I wish I'd ordered it for both of my side offerings! Definitely eat here again, often. read more

Service was great and food was delicious. Friendly staff and great barbecue. Definitely will come again

The food was good ate the brisket. Had a lot of fat but the pieces I did get were tasty. The pulled pork was alright. I've made better. Not sure I'll try this place again if I'm in the area. It was a neutral experience read more

The ribs are really good. The brisket is hit and miss. When it's good it's good but it's not consistently good. We will eat here again.

We are BBQ fans, and we've been working our way through the Texas Monthly Top 50 list. Smitty's isn't on that list, but no one else in the area is either so we have them a try. We were delightfully surprised by this place. Friendly staff, great food (get the ham if they have it), and a very satisfying meal. Thanks! read more

Awesome BBQ everything we've gotten is great. Hometown feel, good service, and clean. Eat here whenever I'm in Jasper

Good brisket, good pork ribs, good sauce, good sides, good vibes. Friendly staff and pleasant dining room. I'm usually wary of barbecue served cafeteria style, but the meat was sliced when ordered, had good bark, and tasted like barbecue should. read more

I use to be impressed with the bbq baked potatoes here but we just purchased 2 and they were tasteless. No flavor at all. Don't know what happened but this place has gone WAY down hill. Won't bother to stop here again. Didn't even eat half. read more

Smitty's Smoke House - a slice of pecanli pie - Barbeque Near Me - Jasper, Texas

I was driving through Jasper and pulled in to Jack in the box across the street. I saw the BBQ across the street and thought I would give Smitty's a try. I got just a chopped beef sandwich. I was expecting fresh chopped beef brisket. No. I got a premixed beef and juice sandwich. Not enough meat and too much juice. I want smoked beef from a Smokehouse. Other offerings may be good. read more

We were avoiding flood waters and came through this town. Thoroughly enjoyed the brisket sandwich. The pecan pie was on point. Nice dining area. Recommend! read more

Great brisket with a nice bark and really juicy. Sides were also very good, I had green beans and potato salad

Delicious BBQ. We had the chicken, ribs and sausage. All delicious. The chicken was so juicy and the ribs falloff the bone tender. Sides were delicious as well. And the S'more brownie, wow, just wish I had brought it home to warm it up! Stop in, you won't regret it! Great spot for lunch or dinner on the way to/from Houston and Cenla! read more

I stopped here after a business trip in Kirbyville. I was enticed by the wood piles out front, and had high expectation for smoky yet tender brisket. The brisket is just okay. I really wanted it to be juicy and melty in my mouth. The brisket was not these things; it was just a little juicy, and instead of being tender, it broke apart with a fork like crusted clay. BBQ sauce is nothing special, and that's too bad -- it should have helped with the dry meat. I am also not getting the big smoky taste like I craved; there's just a hint of smoke flavor. And, I am leaving the restaurant hungry -- not a very generous portion of meat there. I don't live in this area, but if I did, I don't think I'd be in a hurry to comeback here. read more

Wow! If you love Frito pie, you must visit tiny Jasper and get their Cowboy Pie. The pie's foundation is a layer of Fritos. Those are smothered by chopped beef and beans. My wife got pinto and I got baked. Along with the beans, come BBQ sauce, shredded cheese, and chives. We both loved our pies. My wife also enjoyed her side of dirty rice. read more

Was very impressed with this place!! The place that initially set it apart was the owner!! Very transparent and honest and gave meaningful feedback on their food!! But then when I ate the food, WOW did not disappoint!! Would definitely recommend this to ANYONE!! read more
