    I finally got to try this place. My dad and mom have talked about it forever and finally my dad took me on our way back home from a trip we took. It was very good brisket a little over sauced, but definitely did not skimp on portions. The place was very fun and decorated nicely. Definitely on theme with that country smokehouse. The pickle and onion bar with unlimited pickles and onions was the best thing and I had way too many pickles. I really enjoyed their barbecue sauce and I would love to try other items but my brisket and my dad's brisket were great.

    The brisket absent of any bark. Somebody needs to learn how to slice a brisket.

    Average BBQ. I know this place gets a lot of good reviews, I wanted it to be great. If you think Smokin Joe's is great BBQ, then I'm sorry you have never had great BBQ. Maybe I am biased, I judge everything based off the best BBQ places in Texas, Franklin's, Terry Blacks, Goldies, Snow's, etc... in addition to what I put out on my own offset smokers. Ordered the two meat plate, sliced brisket, pork ribs, coleslaw, okra, texas toast. Asked for point meat on the brisket. Brisket was pretty pathetic, I didn't even want to eat it all. Absent of any smoke flavor. Pretty dry and the pull test was harder than it should have been. Bark, where is the bark? Most of the slices had 0 bark, just look at the pictures. So much flavor comes from the bark, every slice no matter from the point or the flat should have bark. What little bark there was, was tough. $2 up-charge for brisket is a little disappointing, just put it on the menu that way, unless you see it posted on the cash register you have no idea. Ribs were average. The bite was decent, little tougher than I like. Decent flavor, not bad, not good. Again pretty much no smoke flavor. Better than the brisket, but that is not saying much. Coleslaw was good, nice and creamy. Coleslaw like you would get anywhere that has decent coleslaw. Okra was good, fried well, crispy, normal breading, can't expect much more from fried okra. Texas toast, honestly the best thing I ate. Toasted perfectly, little bit of crunch, buttery, perfect! Portions of the meat were great. You get a lot of meat. I ate another BBQ restaurant the day before, got the same two meat meal, same meat brisket and ribs and portions were half what you get at Smokin Joe's, but their meal was $5 cheaper. I would give Smokin Joe's is a 2 out of 5. The absence of bark and smoke flavor on brisket is inexcusable for a BBQ restaurant, but it is typical of Oklahoma BBQ. If I had to guess the meats are reheated using an Alto-Shaam. It is hard to do what those places in Austin do, run a 24/7 operation cooking meats, but that is why they are the best.

    The food was amazing! We had ribs, brisket and pulled pork. These were hands down the biggest portions we have ever received at a BBQ restaurant. The service was decent. The restaurant has seating for small parties all the way up to large groups. The only negative in our opinion is there are ceiling fans over every single table and they were all on high. We couldn't get away from the wind of them. We will definitely be back next time we are passing close by!

    I love this place, I was in a nearby town for work and first of all love the name and it had great reviews. We were coming about an hour near closing and luckily they didn't run out of anything. I got the ribs, fries and coleslaw. I'm picky about my coleslaw and this one was amazing and exactly how I liked it. Loved the shoe string fries I had to push them away to stop eating them THE RIBS, tender juicy Smokey and they have a great portion I definitely came home with leftovers. I love their bbq sauces one sweet and one is spicy pro tip: mix them together it's the perfect combination.

    I stopped by for lunch. The staff were more than welcoming. It made me feel very good. Nice place to sit and eat with family and friends. The ribs were a bit on the salty side. The brisket sandwich was loaded, so much that I ate a few slices and took the rest to go. It does not even appear as though I ate the brisket at all lol.

    Ribs were very tender, i slathered bbq sauce on them. Yum.

    3165 Jollyville Rd, Davis, OK 73030. Met the owner in the sauna at the Artesian Hotel, so I thought we would try it! As we drove in, we weren't sure which building was the restaurant, it was like a small town of Jollyville, love that name. Hubby said, let's go in the one where all the pickup trucks are parked! Walk up to order, no corn on cob, no cole slaw, all my favorites. Boo. I wanted a sampling of what they had to offer, each dinner was man size! These places need to offer 1/2 sizes! So we both got this giant tray of food! Ribs, awesome, bologna awesome, chicken wings, awesome, brisket, awesome. Food was brought out to us, pretty quickly. They had to show me where to get plasticware. The building is old looking, but it was clean. A couple of pesky flies. Hours are little weird, closes at 7. So we ate early and didn't have to go to bed on a full stomach!

    This place is always amazing and I'm able to get my semi truck in there all the time ... the potato salad is amazing and the hot links as well, damn everything is amazing here

    16 oz smocked ribeye and half rack of ribs. Huge huge portion.

    See all

    The best bbq we've had this year. Ribs were tender & beautifully glazed. Brisket was moist & nicely shredded for easy serving.
