Joe Bosco Authentic Smokehouse BBQ

Joe Bosco BBQ is a true hidden gem in the Poconos. Every visit has been consistently excellent, with standout dishes that showcase genuine craft and care. The brisket is incredibly tender and flavorful, practically melting in your mouth. The pork belly burnt ends are rich and perfectly caramelized, and the mac and cheese delivers exactly what you'd hope for, creamy, cheesy comfort. Even the sides and BBQ sauce hit the mark, rounding out an already impressive menu. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the people behind the place make the experience even better. The owner brings a confident, no-nonsense charm, and her daughter adds a gracious, kind touch to the service. Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic, top-tier barbecue. Call ahead for best results if you’re looking for something specific. This is standard everywhere across the US. Great meat sells out.

Great BBQ and amazing kind service! Must say this is definitely a place you want to experience if you are near the Poconos! The people were amazing and the atmosphere was so relaxed and family oriented. Plenty of parking and such a sweet little town. I had the pulled pork and macaroni and cheese and it was mouth watering! If you are a food lover it worth the stop!

Fairly good food. Horrendous customer service. My husband and I stopped by after a motorcycle + hiking trip over the weekend and were excited to try this place, but unfortunately that excitement started to die fairly quickly as we started on an off note when the cashier made a weirdly agressive comment questioning my request to have bbq sauce on my wings but also get some honey sriracha on the side as I placed my order. After ordering we were given a buzzer and sat outside on their patio. About 45 minutes passed without a buzz and I had heard what sounded like some names being called, so I figured I'd check if there was a problem with the buzzers or if things were just taking a while. As I was asking the nice gal who was running food and she was midway through politely answering my question, the cashier rudely interrupted her to shout at me that the wait is over an hour and if it hasn't been an hour my food isn't ready and don't come back to ask unless it's been at least that long. This was news to me and I figured I was being very patient and polite in pointedly NOT complaining, and that it should be expected for patrons to ask a question if there has been an unusually long wait. As I was up there, I did hear that they had started to warn the folks who were newly coming in, which was something positive, I suppose. When my buzzer finally went off, after about 1hr 15min or so of waiting, there was a side missing from the order. I hesitated even to bring this up because of how every interaction at the counter had gone so far, but they were quick to address this without extra comments, so no trouble there. As far as the food went — sausage was amazing, the wings and hush puppies were good, the brussel sprouts were okay, and the cole slaw was underwhelming. The bathroom was pretty dirty and didn't have toilet paper. I'm an easy going gal, and not hard to please. But all in all this experience was a let down, mostly because of the weirdly mean treatment I got from the cashier. I get being busy! It was a holiday weekend, it happens. I get standing up for yourself if a customer is being difficult too, but I always go out of my way to be a polite guest in a restaurant and to get treated like trash over one simple request and a polite question was unpleasant and uncalled for. The "always served humble and kind" signs in multiple locations throughout the resturant made this experience feel incredibly ironic. So yeah, if it wasn't for the nasty cashier I would have overlooked the long wait, the bathroom situation, being charged $2+ for a tiny cup of honey sriracha sauce, the missing side, the couple of lackluster dishes and STILL probably left 4 or 5 stars, but this left a really bad taste in my mouth. Won't be back on our next trip to the Water Gap.

This was my second time here and I’m hooked! First visit I had the Philly cheesesteak special and it was awesome. This time I tried the Mexican taco special and it was just as good. My sister got the hush puppies and they were hands down the best I’ve ever had (35 years of eating them and nothing comes close). Last time I was the only customer in the restaurant and had a chance to talk with Debbie—she’s super sweet and really made me feel welcome. Great food, great people. I’ll definitely be back!

Some of the best BBQ I ever had, maybe the best! The owner was so friendly and the place was spotless. Ribs to die for. All American establishment. The story of the name of the place is awesome too. We will be back

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Joe Bosco Authentic Smokehouse BBQ and it was an absolute treat for any BBQ lover. From the moment I walked in, the inviting decor set the tone—rustic yet modern, with warm wood accents and plenty of character. It’s the kind of place where you feel right at home, whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely meal. The food, though, is the true star. The pulled pork and brisket were outstanding—perfectly tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The pulled pork had just the right balance of smokiness and seasoning, while the brisket was rich and melt-in-your-mouth, with a beautiful bark that added a satisfying texture. One standout dish was The Hot Mess—an indulgent, flavor-packed creation that lives up to its name. It’s hearty and delicious, but definitely on the heavier side. Luckily, it makes for fantastic leftovers, so you can savor it again the next day. Update: later that night Please consider the cornbread and the smoked sausage when you are at the register.

After a long day of running errands, my boyfriend and I were looking for a place to eat and happened to stumble upon Joe Bosco — and we’re so glad we did! We hadn’t had barbecue in a while, and everything hit the spot. The burnt ends and brisket were definitely my favorites. On top of the great food, the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

This could not have been a more perfect road stop dining experience. Every single dish was handmade and out of this world flavorful. The service was kind and helpful, the atmosphere classic. This will be an automatic must stop whenever I am in the area next. Top notch!

Excellent BBQ. The pulled pork, brisket, and ribs were all beyond amazing. The sides were fantastic and crafted with as much care as the meats. Deb--the owner and chef-- was very welcoming. And to top it off, the music was on point. Truly 10/10 experience.

My family has been coming to the Poconos for 36 years. The other day at work I googled "bbq in the Poconos" and Joe Bosco came back with a lot of good reviews. Up here this weekend with my parents, cousin, and aunt and uncle we decided to make a trip down to The Gap for Saturday dinner and boy are we glad that we made the 40 min drive back down the mountain! They were busy but everything was absolutely worth the wait! The mother/daughter duo running the place were very nice and accommodating! Now, the food. The brisket was outstanding on the first bite. Just a good amount of melt in your mouth fat, the pork ribs fell off the bone. The wings sticky and delicious! For the sides, all, again, outstanding, but the ones I'm thinking about the next day are the hush puppies and mac n cheese! Cole slaw and baked beans were very tasty as well! We also samples pulled pork and chicken. My cousin ordered the Hot Mess and devoured it. Honestly, we all agreed the food was 10/10. I even texted some other family to let them know of the new spot! "New" a sign says they've been there since 2018. Now, after you've stuffed yourself on bbq please leave room for dessert! Peach cobbler and homemade ice cream! The chocolate was rich and delicious and the strawberry was, as my father said, "the best I've had it decades!" Leaving to head back down to NYC today and we're thinking of maybe stopping by again for more scrumptious food! By the time I thought to take some pics we had wiped it all out!

Let me start this review by saying I am by no means a BBQ smoke master. I've been smoking meats for about 15 years. And I've made better cuts of flavorful meat than I experienced tonight. With that being said, I'm not sure if tonight was an off night or what with this place. I've been here in the past however it was about 2-3 years ago. Back then the food was off the charts delicious. Tonight, I can't say the same. My wife got the ribs. They were bland and mushy. No texture whatsoever. Fall off the bone? Yup! As a pile of fatty snot. I got the burnt ends combo. The brisket was fatty and mushy and whatever the rub is had no flavor. The pork belly was even worse. I know pork belly is supposed to be fatty, but a chunk of fat with no meat is unacceptable. We both got the baked beans. The beans had zero texture, mushy and no flavor. It's supposed to have brisket in it but I didn't find any. The beans tasted and looked like they'd been reheated several times. To be honest, I'd say the meat wasn't cooked fresh either. It had similar taste and texture to when I reheat my meat that I smoke. Definitely not fresh. The Mac n cheese was about the best part of the meal. It was ok, but not mind blowing. And lastly was a corn bread. I've made better corn bread out of a box. If you're looking for a good meal up in the Poconos, skip this place and and go to Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King or Taco Bell. Overall, the food tonight tasted like dirt. And lastly the lady at the register wasn't very friendly. When she asked how the meal was and I didn't give the response she expected she just repeated me with sarcasm in her voice.

Great food, very delicious! Place inside and outside is gorgeous, very clean, love the decor. Service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place.

Yes! Finally we found some amazing food n Poconos! We are visiting for the weekend from NY and have been smitten away by the nature but utterly disappointed in local restaurants. Finally we decided to drive 20 min hoping for a better experience. Joe Bosco Smokehouse delivered. We didn't realize that it's a self-service restaurant, but we didn't mind at all. My daughter and I ordered tacos and sides of Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. OMG, delicious! My husband enjoyed his Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Everything is as homemade and fresh. The place had an industrial vibe and the atmosphere and decor was totally in tune. The restaurant is a gem in a pool of bad restaurants around.

2nd time here, first time had the brisket, after all, it's a bbq joint. Brisket was good but this time I was hankering for a burger and dang if it wasn't the best tasting burger ever!!!! Hand grind brisket burger to be exact. I opted for the American cheese and freshly made shoe string onions, next time I'll skip the cheese, it took away from that brisket deliciousness. Totally relaxed atmosphere with locals galore with friendly counter service. Only annoyance was that damn flip over tip screen when no table service is provided.

After a long hike stopped here for a meal and what a great decision! Everything we had was absolutely delicious! We had a cheesesteak sandwich on a pretzel bun, fries with bbq pork, jalapeño and burnt ends.We had a ice cream sandwich cookie with vanilla ice cream even though we were full. The cookie was so fresh and huge! We ended up taking the other desserts home. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. Thank you Debbie for your hospitality and wonderful cooking!

On the way for a bachelor's trip in the Poconos and stopped by here for lunch on a Friday. Arrived pretty much around 12:30 and there were a few patrons already, but had a chance to meet with the owner and eventually her husband who is the master behind the scenes. She mentioned they came from NY alto start this business so it was nice to hear how it all began. I read it was BYOB so we brought some good beer to accompany the meal. Everything came out hot and delicious. The burnt ends were my favorite but the brisket and ribs were nicely seasoned. Beans were smoky and tangy. Great spot with outdoor seating so will be back next time I'm in the area!

Not bad but really really unhealthy. The tacos were the most oily and fatty that I've ever had. My entire plate was a soup of oil. The Mac and cheese bowl was only a little meat with an absurd amount of Mac n cheese. They don't allow any substitutions with the specials which made no sense. Clean spot with great service but it is super pricey if you get what you want.

We were driving back to NJ when stumbled upon this absolute gem! We immediately met the owner Deb who is literally the best. She gave us a run down on everything she had and the fan favorites. We went with brisket, ribs, and burnt ends. Sides we did the potato salad and Mac and cheese. Side note, EVERYTHING is made In house and fresh, it's unbelievable. The ribs were fantastic and fall off the bone, with great flavor that paired perfectly with her bbq sauce. The bunt ends were just fantastic, some of the best we've had. The brisket I can describe with one word....Devine. The brisket was something I'll Be dreaming about for a long time and I'll without a doubt make a drive just for that. The potato salad was fantastic and her corn bread was on par to being the best I've had thus far. I shit you not her Mac and cheese was so damn good. We literally were baffled at first bite. I promise you, I'll never drive past her spot without picking up the Mac and cheese and brisket. I literally can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the food. Deb is a fantastic individual who makes you feel just like family. We came in as customers and definitely left as friends. I'd highly suggest you go and support this spot, you won't regret it!!!

If you're looking for mouthwatering BBQ that hits all the right notes, Joe Bosco's Authentic Smokehouse BBQ in DWG is it! The smoked brisket is absolutely phenomenal--tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And don't even get me started on the roasted Brussels sprouts--they are awesomely amazing! Who knew Brussels could be such a standout? Everything here is made from scratch, and it shows in every bite. You can taste the care and quality in every dish. Joe Bosco's truly doesn't disappoint--this place is a must-try for any BBQ lover (or anyone who appreciates great food, period).

Delicious. Best brisket I've had in years (and I've lived in Texas). Moist, succulent brisket, best hush puppies, best cornbread. Loved the Mac n cheese and great service from an owner/manager who cares. A family business that takes pride in quality. Went several days in a row as I passed through town.

Food was amazing. The place is indoor/outdoor which is nice. I had the Brisket (fatty) as suggested. It was phenomenal. So tender I'm sorry I only got 1/4 lb. My husband got the pulled pork and he rated it best In all we've tried in NJ. He's from NC and loves his favorite place there the BBQ Hut. They make their BBQ with a vinegar that no one else has done. But he said this is the best for NJ. Oh and the hush puppies dipped in honey were amazing. Worth a trip back just for those sweeties. This is 100% a must try. My only suggestion is that they should have meals where you get the meat/s, 2 sides and cornbread for a set price.

Truly some of the most delicious bbq I have ever had and that is coming from a foodie snob that is incredibly hard to please. We had incredibly tender and delicious brisket, creamy Mac n cheese, tasty baked beans and buttery & flavorful Brussel Sprouts. We also ordered their taco trio special, each taco was wildly different and packed with an abundance of unique flavors. Their shrimp tacos were to die for. Debra made the entire experience unforgettable. She was super welcoming and incredibly informative and SUPER patient; not only did we have a large party ordering in multiple groups, she dealt with some of the rudest and grumpiest people after us with charm & grace. She was a gem and a staple of the experience. More about the food: Their cornbread was super moist sweet and flavorful and the sweet tea is definitely something that cannot be missed. Their bbq sauce is a must try, even though the meat was flavorful on its own. Their pickled jalapeños and pickled onions were welcomed additions to the tasty bbq. Debra's oldies playlist was a wonderful filler to our silence; there was essentially zero communication amongst our party as we devoured the tasty bites. Thank you Debra!!! We will come back to the poconos just for you & your bbq!

Love this place! Excellent food and service. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of smoked Mac and cheese, my brother had the Mexican street taco trio which he is still raving about. There is plenty of seating outside and the grounds are kept clean and open. I ate my sando too quickly so there are no pics. Smokehouse is the way to go. If you're in the DWG area, do yourself a favor and get in here

If you enjoy melt in your mouth meat and cornbread that will make you curl your toes you need to try this spot ! The brisket is to die for! I was also given the honey butter to dip my corn bread in !!!! Justine behind the counter was so helpful in guiding me what to get and is very genuine informed me these are her mother's homemade recipes . And boy can you tell . The place is very nice inside and kept clean . You have to check this spot out !!!

Nice spot, so it is a shame that the food was so bad all around. Not just overpriced, but actually BAD food. Only redeeming quality was the hush puppies. The burnt ends might be the worst thing I've ever had from a food establishment.

Walked in and was greeted by the owner/chef she had a smile and really made us feel like family ! On to the food, it was so amazing the hush puppies are a MUST they are so good and buttery sweet and the meats were delicious i'm not usually a bbq person but their sauce was really nice and compliments the pulled pork really well. When we were finishing up the owner also was having a nice conversation with us while helping us get our food packed up.

Had this place bookmarked for when we were back in the area for a hike. So I was excited to try it on one Sunday afternoon. When we arrived the first thing we noticed is that it didn't smell like a smokehouse. We expect smokehouses to smell like well...a smokehouse. But this spot didn't smell like smoke at all. We should have known this would be a let down. Upon arriving a really nice woman informed us (and the line that formed behind us) that they were really busy that day and many things were sold out (like burnt ends and some other popular items). We were still able to try a vast array of menu items. Unfortunately we felt like everything was underwhelming. Every item looked really good when we got it but everything severely lacked flavor and smoke. The upside was that no meat was dry and everything was tender but everything desperately needed smoke or a char. The brisket didn't have a good crust on it and lacked flavor. We found the bbq sauce to be super sweet which didn't give the meat what it needed. It was also heavy on the ketchup. Like it literally tastes like ketchup. The Mac and cheese isn't baked but instead is pasta with a cheese sauce mixed in and crackers crumbled atop. My partner said the ribs tasted like nothing which is so odd because pork is usually so flavorful. The corn bread tasted like jiffy with a few corn kernels thrown in. It really didn't taste like corn at all. The potato salad was also on the sweet side although we liked the combo of red and sweet potatoes. We also liked that it wasn't heavy on the mayo. I gave 2 stars for the nice lady who informed us of the menu and was clear in communicating on how ordering worked. The food here was a major let down and I doubt we will return. I'm surprised at the amazing reviews they have-- maybe the food is inconsistent? You live and you learn. What did I learn? If a smokehouse doesn't smell like smoke... walk away.

This is a great barbeque find! It's small...many seem to do take out but we ate there. The owner/ cook is delightful, the selection excellent,and all three of our meals were delicious....of course, barbeque chicken, pork and " pig tail"...love the names! I had " hot mess" ( you'll have to go to find out what that is) which I loved! Everything is homemade and fresh. Definitely will come back.

Called and placed a large order for a party a few days in advance and everything was great. Everyone loved all the meats and the hush puppies and mac and cheese were awesome! Well done BBQ in PA. Big thank you to Deb and her staff!

Left NJ to find some authentic BBQ and we found much more! The food was 5 star all the way! Even the kids cleaned their plates!! The hospitality was over the top! We heard stories and had quite the time! We ordered burnt ends, ribs, brisket, a cheeseburger a Philly steak sandwich and nothing was left! Then we finished out with homemade icecream and the grand finale... caramel banana pudding! Make sure you get it!! Outstanding experience and we can't wait to cross stay line to come back! Pam the owner is guaranteed to get longtime customers from NJ!

Found this little quaint bbq spot on our way to the winery yesterday and it was a great spot for lunch. Decently quick service for ordering to go. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, burnt end sandwich, and side of Mac and cheese. I am a sucker for good bbq joint Mac n cheese. This was very cheesy and gooey and topped with crunchy breadcrumbs. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. The burnt ends were very chewy and fatty so maybe just not a good cut of meat on this piece. Only downside I would say is everything comes on potato bread which I am very not a fan of.

Great BBQ can't go wrong with anything you order but save room for ice cream. Cool location with indoor and outdoor covered dining options.

Smelled the wood burning the moment we pulled into the parking lot, which was a huge plus! The brisket was great, appreciated that they asked if we wanted fatty or lean cuts. All the food was great, unfortunately the fries weren't cooked thoroughly and we had a couple semi raw fries in the bunch. Staff was very friendly, facility was very clean and well kept. Will definitely stop by next time passing through

Went with my lovely girlfriend on a rainy cold day in February. Unfortunately by the time we got in they were sold out of many of the items we were excited to try like brisket, ribs, among some other things. Not to worry, our server recommended some of her favorite items that were still available and none of them disappointed. The burger was out of this world, easily entering my top 5 of all time. Mac and cheese and burnt ends were a great combo as well. Service was incredibly friendly and easygoing. Ambiance left nothing to be desired, wasn't too busy given the weather but plenty of space inside. Overall highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

The food was marvelous. Tender brisket, delicious sauces, excellent brussell sprouts, corn and cornbread. Best of all was the spirit of the owner and head chef, who clearly pours her heart and soul into the food she makes and recipes carried on by all who work there. Highly recommend.

Great brisket, pulled pork and the best chicken wings I had in forever were a highlight of a big family barbecue and baby shower this past weekend. Deb was super helpful in figuring out how much we needed for our crowd, and it was all delivered hot and juicy. Thank you!

Had 2 half racks of ribs tonight. One portion was good but served less warm than I expect. The other portion was very fatty which made the meat mushy. Also served not very warm. I didn't complain but I wonder if I could have sent the mushy ribs back for replacement. The cole slaw was very good. I like its recipe.

Delicious! I am still dreaming about the cheeseburger & hush puppies I had yesterday! The Mac & cheese was delicious as well! Can't wait to go back when I'm back in the area.

This is a cute barbecue restaurant with a very kind owner who serves the best barbecue. We were traveling from out of town and decided to try this place. We chose well. The barbecue was amazing. It was delicious and huge. (I had to take some of mine with me). I had the St Louis ribs, mac & cheese and Brussels sprouts. My boyfriend also had ribs , beans and cornbread. Deb, the owner was very friendly and accommodating. This place is definitely worth trying.

The food was delicious. Best pulled chicken sandwich I ever had. Hubby had the brisket which he said was amazing. We also had the tacos. The owner is a cutie. She's so warm and welcoming Definitely coming back !! Oh and the coleslaw !!!! Yum

Stopped for quick bite while passing through; good BBQ tucked off the main thruway to and from the poconos. If you are hungry and passing through or a hungry local, it's worth checking out.

After going to a doctors appointment, my husband was looking for a place to pick up some food to take home. And he found this gem of a place.I waited in the car as he ordered some food. He stated he ordered with the owner that was so polite and nice... and made sure she told him that everything was made homemade. We ordered pork ends, pork brisket , full rack of ribs, pulled pork that was just enough for two small sandwiches, coleslaw, cornbread, hot mess French fries, a banana pudding and a soda. Everything was delicious, pulled pork was a little dry, but after putting there bBQ sausage on it, it was perfect. I was only shocked when he came out and said your going to kill me. I was like why.... He said he spent over $130. I was in shock. But everything was yummy.

Stopped by Joe Bosco for some BBQ. Very cool atmosphere inside. Servers were very polite and helpful. My boyfriend got the burnt tips sandwich and I got a pulled pork sandwich. Both were very juicy and yummy. Loved the sauce and sides you got with the sandwich. French fries were crispy and seasoned well. The Brussel sprouts were seasoned very well but I could have done without the almonds and cranberries. Overall was a very good spot to get BBQ would recommend!!

My friend and I went to Joe Bosco back in december when we hiked mount Tammany, the service was aboslutley amazing! We met the owner, she was one of the nicest ladies youll ever meet. She even gave us free cookies, which were soooo good! I gave 5 stars because everything about my experience here was on-point- the service, the food, the FOOD. The food is mouth watering, we got the burnt ends with mac and cheese, cornbread and HONEY BUTTER hushpuppies, after that butt kicking hike, their food delivered, and the over all experience was amazing, the aesthetics are very westerny, which I love, so if you're looking for an amazing experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Bosco! I'll be back soon!

Great BBQ here! Down home service, somebody's mama's recipes and comfortable, easy going vibes dominate this absolute gem of a barbecue joint. Had the 3 taco special and all three rank among the best I've ever had. Shrimp, tangy and tasty. Pulled pork sweet, tart and succulent. Brisket on the third melted in my mouth and warmed my soul. Best BBQ in PA, IMHO. MUCH PEACE to all who read this far!

Maybe it's just me... but the meats we got were cold and wasn't tender at all. The brisket was dry and hard to eat. The pork ribs weren't fall off the bone but more of a bite down and pull off the bone. It wasn't easy to eat. The sides were just okay - got the potato salad, mac and cheese and the brussel sprouts. We order the wings too but it wasn't anything to rave about. Drenched in whatever sauce you picked. Give it a try, as everyone's taste buds are different.

Hands down the BEST Iced tea in the world. The workers were PHENOMENAL. I highly recommend anyone who is in the pocono area to go. The scenery is amazing and very peaceful.

We were coming through the area and stopped for our second visit and the food is excellent. The hush puppies in honey butter are amazing. The cornbread with the avocado mousse is something everyone should try. The owners are so sweet and lovely. The bathrooms and the location are clean. A "must stop" for us when we're in the area.

Wasted gas coming over here it's 7pm & everywhere it says their open & close at 9pm on Saturdays & its lights out. Closed early for no reason. Thanks. It did not say on google or yelp that you were closed for the holiday. Both are how I found your restaurant I would know! The phone call wasn't going through. 0 stars on customer service clearly just acting as if im just an airhead.

The food, let's start there. Tried the smoked sausage, pulled pork and pulled chicken. It just didn't taste entirely right to us. Maybe the sauce or maybe the the meat was just premade? We've had better. They got the stars mainly because the ribs were amazing. Even the service was decent, lady was sweet but little sarcastic. Wouldn't go back to be honest.

Definitely destination BBQ came in from Ca and family from the area recommended, burnt ends hush puppies and Mac n cheese were amazing. Great food, people and music!

We found this restaurant last week while talking a scenic tour through the area. We had a great meal! The barbequed meat was delicious and the owner was very understanding and accommodating regarding my girlfriend's gluten allergy. We will definitely go back some day!

Service was quick informative and friendly. Inside and outside seating. Sandwich was tasty but not worth $14.00. Corn was sweet and crisp. Slaw had good flavor just the right amount of mayo. Hot mess was truly a hot mess. Not enough pork and too much cheese. Cost $50 for lunch Had 1 ice tea and a small corn bread. Would go back and try just the brisket or ribs.

Came all the way from BROOKLYN to this spot. The owner and operator is very nice. Laugh when I started ordering everything off the menu. Food and service was dope and that BYOB I would come back here for the vibe. Definitely a summer spot, not going to lie and a DJ night for the summer definitely will be the place to be!!

The lady at the counter was the nastiest person. The Shepherds Pie I ordered wasn't the best and it wasn't hot at all. I might have come back but the lady was mean and she ripped people off when they were paying cash. She ignored what it said on the cash register.

We traveled to PA for a birthday getaway for my husband. Immediately after checking in, we were looking for some good eat. So we check our phones for food nearby. We immediately see the usual goths in fast food, and neither of us was turned on. But then a bit of a scroll downwards about 9 miles from the hotel is Is Jo Boscos Authentic Smokehouse BBQ. When drove out as fast as we could because they close at 8pm on Thu. We enter the place with an awesome greeting and support. She asked, " Have yall been here before? I was ready. We were shown how to do it and explained about the type of open dinner self-service, not many staff but still really efficient and kind. We had a hard time choosing to sit inside the mestagic 50s decor or outside on the Japanese garden styled covered 3patio seating. We stayed close and got to meet the awesome owner.

this is An amazing place! Food is fresh and good, priced accurately due to the quality of food, menu variety is plentiful, atmosphere is second to none. The staff was incredibly nice to us while they prepared the food fast
