JJ’s Tap and Smokehouse

Nice little neighborhood place with solid BBQ. Had the smoked Tri Tip. The meat was smoky and not super tender but great flavor. The BBQ sauce was completely disappointing. Couldn't tell the difference between what the waitress identified as spicy and not spicy. No flavor just sugar. They could step up by getting a variety at the grocery store and serving that. Took what could be a decent meat and elevating it to taking a solid meat and pulling it down. A safe place but not a great place. I'd want more if I was the owner or worked there. Went on a Sunday and service was slow. One person working and a decent sized crowd. Waited for nenus ... Waited for drinks... Waited for check... Waited...

JJ’s Smokehouse is such a great neighborhood spot. The barbecue is seriously some of the best around and the tri tip dip sandwich is my go to every time. Perfectly cooked and perfectly smoked. Everyone there is always friendly and welcoming, and it feels like one of those places where regulars and first timers all mix together and have fun. It’s almost always packed, which honestly just tells you everything you need to know. Totally worth it!

This place is fantastic The food here is delicious and the waitress are friendly and helpful. I got the hamburger i liked how juicy the hamburger patty was it was fatty finger slurping good.

Great food, a bit pricy. The Indian Trail.burger I has was perfectly cooked and I loved the deep fried onion in it. It came with three types of BBQ sauce ( Carolina, Texas, Kansas City) of which ynr KC was my favorite. I had heard their potato salad was good so I tried it and it was great. The staff is friend and stay busy. I highly recommend you try this place. They cook their ribs and brisket for 12 hours!!! The rib I had, the meat fell off the alone and was SO good.

We’ve been dining at JJ’s for about 5 years now and they are consistently delicious. The poppers are a must! Perfectly prepared with thick , smoked bacon and a creamy rich filling - served with a pepper jelly that compliments them nicely. The tri tip dip and the Rueben are our favorites and our boys love the Mac and cheese. This is a great spot for family gatherings or a night out with your favorite friends. Sit in the bar and enjoy a variety of micro brews or a craft cocktail for a date night. Totally fun atmosphere, quick friendly service and an all around great time This is our favorite North Spokane go to !!!

Erin provided some of the most excellent service that I have ever received at a restaurant ever! Sarah, who was only on her 3rd day there had a wonderful ability engaging patrons and making them feel at home in the dining and bar areas. I had the Rigdecrest Brisket Burger with a side Smoked Rib and side Mac n Cheese. I was informed that Lyle was the Master BBQ/Smoker of the food and that Rib was the cook who made and prepared it. Top scores to both of them as the food was thoroughly hot and fantastic to taste!!... I tried two different IPA taps and a double shot of a local Spokane liquor as well!! Thank you JJ's Tap and Smokehouse for an amazing experience that will most definitely have me and others coming back for more!! I recommend this establishment to everyone looking for a top notch, step-above tap and Smokehouse experience!!!!

Patio was BEAUTIFUL today! Plenty of space to kick back and enjoy the sunshine. He ordered the Ruben and coleslaw and only said about 10x "damn this is good" for the sandwich. Coleslaw was mild and basic. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich made into a wrap and sweet potato fries. Perfect balance of the veggies and meats. Buffalo flavoring was mild (not spicy) and had a nice flavor. Sweet potato fries were ok, nothing particularly amazing. The Bloody Mary was AMAZING! Definitely will return for that.

Tri tip is really yummy. My husband and I are on the look out for the best tritip, and this place has it. Yummyz we watched football here it has 2 wide screens and the food server is very nice. Would go back here next time we visit spokane
