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.

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.

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.

I want to put a 1 star here or less so I can hide this place from everyone else! This place is too good and probably the best bbq in San Diego County. Great service, great food, and great atmosphere. Open seating in open areas with a whiff of smokin BBQ. I got a variety plate with all types of food and sides with a pomegranate soda. The owner even came up to ask us how we liked the food. You can tell when food is made with love and this BBQ is the real deal.

We came here to Old Town Poway on weekday to get lunch for the first time after seeing that Poway had a BBQ restaurant. We got the 3×3 to sample everything but the ribs and amended it with an order of TV dinner ribs and bean crack and succotash sides. The bean crack is really good. I really loved the ribs, no BBQ sauce required, it had just the right amount of smoke and meaty flavor. . The smoked chicken was pretty tasty and the other two items pulled pork and brisket paired well with the BBQ sauce. I found out that they have another location in Miramar so I will check that out next time.

Some of the best BBQ I ever had. Everything was smoked too perfection! I had The Smokey J and The Classic Sandwhich. Both were absolutely mouth watering. If you love good BBQ you have come try it for yourself. Youll definitely be back for more. I’ll be back again!

Super-friendly workers and great great barbecue. The ribs and the brisket are definitely in the top five of all time!

I feel like I’ve reviewed Smokin J’s before. I honestly don’t know what to say other than everything here is good. Literally everything. My favorite is the brisket so I usually get the Smokin J’s, which I believe is the brisket sandwich, or my most recent love, the loaded fries. You can put whatever meat you want on there so of course I get the brisket. These fries are no joke either. They’re very good fries. The pork belly that you can find on the sides menu, I think, is just utter bliss. Look, it sounds like I don’t know the menu, but I feel like I have an aneurysm trying to make a choice every time I come here because there’s really no bad choice. Everything kinda just blends together so forgive me if I sound like a lunatic, but honestly, you’ll understand when you eat here. You’ll die happy, I promise.
