Prime rib
Shane A.

Rode here with the MC on a Saturday and had the prime rib. Great bark on the outside and cooked to the perfect temp. The fried okra was excellent but the sweet tea was a little old. Great food and a great ride. I will definitely be back

Brisket, sausage, Cole slaw and fried okra

Food was excellent and the portions are huge. You will not leave there hungry Get there early as they get extremely busy and you might have to wait for a place to sit

Ribs,chicken& sausage

Delicious!! You will get plenty of food and probably have leftovers. Everything had great flavor and well seasoned. Come in right at opening or expect somewhat of a wait. Peach cobbler was fabulous as well:)

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!

See all
