It’s to die for! I have been looking for a good BBQ place and this is it. I ordered the brisket and pork belly sandwich. Yum. My husband had pulled pork Mac&cheese with bbq beans. Local beers and interesting sodas are also available We had so much food left there was enough for a midnight snack We will definitely be back
We came to visit because of a friend's recommendation and this is a good friend because they steered us in the right place. Smokin' J's is tasty, focused on quality, and thoughtful in all aspects of their restaurant. They have wood fires smokers out back and obviously put a great deal of care into their food. I can't recommend the pork belly enough (try it in a taco). Or the boneless rib sandwich, which was so tender. And the brisket was so moist! Anyway, the point is, of all the different things we tried, this place did everything well. Go try it and see if you don't love everything too.
The food was fine. Decent pork and brisket. The mac and cheese was disappointing. The chicken was dry. The staff was friendly even though the space was cramped. I wish they had a real soda fountain rather than craft soda bottles.
Excellent service, great selection of eats and drinks! We had the brisket TV dinners with bean Crack, succotash, potato salad, and Cole slaw. Would recommend all! Appreciated the choice of fatty or lean brisket. It was smoked to perfection and had a great taste.
My wife found this place on a Google search and we decided to try it out. Other than the flies that are hanging around outside - this place is great! Good food with fair prices.
🌈🌈🌈 y'all! I just moved here from Tennessee and was very wary about the barbecue out here in Southern California. I did a little bit of research and realized through trial and error that if a barbecue joint does not have either banana pudding or bread pudding, chances are they are not very good. I found this place online but hadn't been here yet. today I dropped my dog at the groomers and there happened to be this barbecue place I smelled, so I walked over and lo and behold it was the one place on my list I had an inkling would be phenomenal because I saw pictures of their bread pudding. let me tell you 🥹🥹🥹 I literally did a happy dance when I put this food in my mouth 🥹 so far I've been in San Diego for a year and this is hands down the best barbecue I've had since leaving Tennessee. highly recommended, the staff is so sweet and cute, there's outdoor seating and the vibe is extremely welcoming, but not in a weird way and they seemed to actually care about my questions instead of being annoyed lol. they're also playing amazing music!! I will definitely be back and will recommend this place to anybody I speak to who's wanting some good southern barbecue. well done Smokin J's 💜💜💜💜💜🌈🌈🌈
Brisket was delicius, honestly it was my best, chicken was normal not my best. There was a live music thats why everybody hangout long time so it was hard to find a table.
The smoke flavor in the brisket is amazing. Portion sides are a tad on the small size but the quality of the food is top notch! Outdoor seating only, so bring a jacket if you plan to eat there.
