    That's a big sandwich.
    James D.

    Ok, this wasn't my first time here. I usually get a combo meat serving and take it home to make an assortment of dishes. My wife is vegetarian so it's not her kind of place. Today I was on my own so this was a no brainer. This time I ordered a sandwich to go. It's small inside, a bit crowded with...stuff. Not a lot of seats in there. I only live a mile away and serve beer:) I think it was called the sandwich was called the smokehouse. Smoked pastrami, tritip and pulled pork, piled high on a ciabatta roll. It came with a little bbq sauce that you could drink with a straw...damn good. And if I told you about how fast that sandwich came out, you wouldn't believe me. I took it home, threw some extras on it and enjoyed it with a beer. Couldn't fish the whole thing...tomorrow tomorrow...

    SERVICE: counter style, got to talk to Joe who was posted up in the dining area taking phone orders and helped us pick our orders! Super nice and quite the salesman! AMBIANCE: cozy, two 4-tops some counter seating but it would be a squeeze for sure FLAVORS: Smoked tri-tip cheesesteak (5/5) amazing and comes with a bbq sauce Gut buster (10/5!!!) I thought I wouldn't be able to taste the pastrami through the salty smoky hot link or the rich pepper jack cheese but you DEFINITELY can and it's all perfect together - the honey mustard is made in house I think and it's the PERFECT complement to cut through the rich salty fatty flavors when you think you can't take anymore! PORTIONS: filling and hearty PRICE: appropriate, maybe even a steal! BONUS TIP: the strawberry watermelon drink! Also, Joe said next time get the gut buster with onions and jalapeños. I'd drive 3 hrs for this.

    Crazy serving size!

    Met with a phenomenal menu and tasty food to match! The owners knew what I wanted before I asked and served us our road trip meal with sauce that has to be award winning for sure. Cozy place with classic bbq feel, DO NOT pass this place up while in Redding

    Cheesesteak sandwich w/ garlic fries

    I always get the "bbq" meats because I know it's good but today I got the cheesesteak sandwich. Damn good is all I gotta say! I'll be getting these more often now. Waited about 5-6 minutes in the drive through. Yes, drive thru bbq joint! Must try and must support

    Brisket sandwich on a Ciabatta bun with a side of potato salad. Excellent bark on the brisket. Thick yet tender slices of meat.
    Michael Crawford ..

    The best news so far in 2025 ... brisket is now available every day! Thank you Smokin' Joe's BBQ on Airport! Excellent bark. Thick yet tender slices of brisket served on a Ciabatta bun. It's huge, which gives you enough for some leftovers. The staff is very personable and it's clear they know many of the customers.

    Pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw, and sauce on the side.
    Marlene B.

    The service was excellent! My husband and I were greeted with such warmth it made us feel welcomed, like they were happy to see us. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw slaw. Folks, if you want to experience a BBQ flavor that is undeniably delicious, then you must come to Smokin' Joe's BBQ. The quaint interior was inviting, but the weather was so nice we sat outside on the patio. It was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed it so much that my husband and I decided we will eat here every time we visit Redding.

    They downgraded on the fries ...

    I was hangry for a salad for dinner and needed a sandwich for the next days hiking…read more The salad was massive! Fresh Romaine leaves and croutons and the grilled chicken was moist with a nice, tasty grill on the outside while easy to bite through. I couldn't stop eating it. You have about 7 choices of dressing which the put on the side so you can choose how much. $14.50 but it could easily feed 2 people. The sandwich was so big I had it for 2 meals. The turkey was juicy with sourdough bread, good cheddar cheese, not overly mayonnaised, and a few large leaves of lettuce. I had the best hike after this delicious 1/2 of the sandwich. Ate the other the day prior and it was so delicious I scarfed it down forgetting to take a picture. $14.49 and again can feed 2 people. This place stays really busy for a reason - exceptional food and great service. If I lived in Redding, this would be a dangerous place for me.

    My husband is what you would consider a professional sandwich eater. He can make a stack at home…read morethat you could really pay top dollar for, and he is incredibly choosy and picky about where he will eat a sandwich outside of the house. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of places that he likes to get a sandwich... I just need you to understand how incredibly picky he is. Enter Dills deli m. Not only was he completely blown away by their delicious sandwiches, but my daughter stands by the fact that this was the best pastrami she's ever had. Now, as any good parent would, I have educated this kid on the ins and outs of pastrami, and for her to deem this one the best is a major accomplishment. The spot is super clean, the servers are incredibly friendly, and the food is spot on. Absolutely worth your time.

We have yet to have a bad experience here. The staff is always so friendly and attentive. We typically order the jalepeno poppers which is spicy and creamy all together. There's always that one popper though that is way spicer then the rest and it is a fun surprise when one of us gets it. The steaks all together are cooked the way you like it. We always order medium rare and each time it is cooked just like so. The sides are your normal sides- will say it is your average- Ceasar is one of the go-tos and it's great everytime. Same with the baked potato. Our favorite though, has to be the rolls! With the delicious butter. They are definitely bigger than some of the competitors. And we always ask for some extra for our take home cause we can never finish our meal because we get so stuffed. The establishment is normally busy when we go in. But are always seated within less than 10 minutes. The decor is like your roadhouse with graphics, old school posters and decals. See you soon Logan's!

    We stayed at the hotel next door so we decided to come check this place out plus we wanted to watch…read morethe NFL game. They had a bar in the middle with lots of TVs around the area so that was nice. Service took a little bit longer than expected but they did look a little short staff and we were not in a rush so we didn't mind. Everyone was moving and you could tell they were working hard. Menu was not overwhelming, prices were avg Let's talk about their bread rolls. It came with butter and another butter but it wasn't just any butter. Myself and my family were obsessed we needed another round. It was a honey cinnamon butter and it was so good. If we are ever in the area again, we are definitely making a pit stop her
