"This Doraville BBQ joint is owned by Usher's mom, Jonnetta Patton, and has a menu stuffed with favorites like smoked turkey legs, ribs, and brisket. We already love our BBQ, but an unexpected dinner with Usher—even if he's a few tables down—also sweetens the deal." - juli horsford, jacinta howard

"J’s Smokehouse food truck is a great stop when you’re in Doraville and want a quick Southern-style lunch with tender smoked meats. The grilled chicken meal comes with a leg quarter and two sides for under $20. Expect the usual BBQ sides—just don’t overlook the tangy-sweet broccoli coleslaw or the creamy kale salad, which are "good good" (that's an Usher reference since the truck is owned by his mother). And even though this spot is committed to smoked meats, the vegan BBQ pork sandwich is also a surprising standout, mostly because of its meaty texture and the accompanying tangy-sweet housemade sauce. Food Rundown Southern Braised Collard Greens You can tell the collard greens are slow-cooked because they are tender but they could use some more seasoning. Vegan Pulled Pork Sandwich It’s hard to tell that this vegan pork sandwich is not actually meat. The texture is spot on and the tangy-sweet sauce zings. Broccoli Slaw The broccoli slaw is a green crunch champion. It nails the zing-sugar combo." - Jacinta Howard

I've now had it twice and both times were forgettable. Got brisket the first time and it was not that good. Dry and not smoky at all. Second time tried the beef hot dog with onions and peppers. The hot dog was just like a Costco hot dog for 4 times the price. Onions and peppers were overcooked and the bun was too short. Advertised as coming with chips and slaw, neither of which I received. Ordered Mac and cheese and baked beans with it. The Mac and cheese was basically macaroni with velveeta melted in it. I'd rather have boxed Kraft. The baked beans seemed straight out of a can and were also nothing special. Also ordered a canned Coke seeing they were in a cooler that I expected would be ice cold. When I opened the cooler I found there was no ice in it at all and the can was barely cold. I expected more personality out of a food truck but was disappointed. I would not order from them again. See the pictures.

I ordered a half pound of ribs and baked beans. It took me an hour and a half to get my order. All I had was three bones that were dry and a small cup of baked beans. When I asked for some barbecue sauce they gave me a small cup where only the bottom of the little cup was filled. It was definitely not worth $22.50. it was truly a disappointment. There were several co-workers that wanted refunds for their food.

The truck came to my building , I ordered brisket sandwich n catfish n fries, peach cobbler. It was 1 piece of fish not fried all the way and very very salty fries, ( picture on menu shows 2 pieces of fish) the brisket sandwich had 1 piece of bread, what happened to other piece and peach cobbler was in a very small container. I tried calling the restaurant and got a voice mail for several businesses. Not to mention the price for what I received was not acceptable. I do not recommend ordering from truck , don’t know about actual location , but won’t risk it.

Ordered thru GrubHub and was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was perfectly grilled/smoked and the sides were well-seasoned (I do wish there was more chicken for the price but ya know.... inflation). The mac, collards, and baked beans were good too - the baked beans did not taste like they just poured a can of Bush's in a pot which is the norm for many BBQ spots over here! The Mac was perfectly seasoned and creamy, wasn't super cheesy but it was good. The collards were perfectly cooked and seasoned - not too vinegary just perfect! The Brisket Sandwich was SO GOOD! The only con was that by the time it arrived the bottom bun was a little soggy but only because they PACKED it with a good amount of meat - they did not skimp! Unfortunately, the crispy fries and Salmon wrap were not available so I ended up subbing it for another two-piece chicken plate. Shoutout to the gentleman who called me to let me know and updated the order for me - I'm glad we have a good BBQ spot we can order from now! 10/10 we highly recommend giving them a go!

Traditional BBQ with a twist! On my first visit (grand opening), I ordered the plant-based pulled pork and macaroni and cheese. It was so delicious, and the portions were plentiful. On my second visit, I ordered a vegan chili dog and crispy fries. Please note that this was THE BEST vegan chili dog I've ever had! Everything was made fresh. The staff was so friendly and professional. The online ordering was simple via Google, which allows you to track the pick-up time. I am so happy there's a quality food truck offering BBQ in Doraville.

This place is new and they specialize in to-go and food truck service. They're super friendly and everybody seems to care a lot about the food and the customer. No dining area but… The food is incredible. When you order bbq you say a couple items as an afterthought (Mac and cheese, Cole slaw whatever)… I’m telling you even the SIDES are amazing. The negative reviews are just because it’s not a “restaurant”. The food is too good to describe. I had brisket (how a bbq place is judged) and a smoked chicken quarter. This is definitely a place I’ll visit a lot.

The ribs were phenomenal and my wife loved the grilled sausage. Mac and cheese was also unreal. They don't have dine in seating so order ahead so you can pick it up when you go. I'll definitely be coming back to try the brisket.

I ordered 3 sides online. I was charged $9.00 extra when I received my order. The menu should read: $2.00 sides with a meal purchase or $5.00. The menu is misleading.
