Great tasting barbecue, fabulous tasting sides, prompt service, kind folks--a winning combination.
Stopped in on a recent trip between Dallas/OKC. I heard about this place from a friend and was curious to try it. So glad I stopped in! It's not far from the highway and well worth the stop. Pay attention to their hours as they change their hours seasonally (Oct/Nov they switch to winter hours).
Let's get real, sometimes at a BBQ place the meat is fall off the bone, juicy & delicious and the sides are an epic fail. Other times, good sides and dry/under seasoned meats. It's hard to find the award winning combo of great meat AND great sides. They've got BOTH here!
The pulled pork & ribs were everything I hoped for--juicy, packed with flavor and served at the right temp. I enjoyed their sweet & smokey house BBQ sauce, they've only got the one. The potato salad & fried okra were awesome. Both sides tasted house made and knocked my socks off. I got the 2 meat dinner and it was enough for 3 meals, though I wish I had gotten an extra helping of that fabulous potato salad--YUM! I had devoured all my sides by the third time around working through the meats.
I went around 1:30pm-ish on a Thursday and the full menu was available. Like most great BBQ places, they run out of things throughout the day. There are signs in the restaurant that let you know what's gone for the day, so look around once you get there. They also do specials so be on the lookout for those, too.
I think the best way to sum up my experience here is: They know what they do, and they do it well.
See ya, again, soon Smokin' Joe's!
