Service was outstanding! The establishment is clean and cozy.. Food was good and inexpensive.. I was here to early for any of the Ribs or Chicken, so I chose the Pulled Pork Sand.

Smokey Joe's was a good Lunch spot for us! I didn't give 5 stars because we were shocked to learn there was no turkey or brisket. The service was top notch and the ribs fell off the bone. The chopped pork sandwich with slaw, and vinegar based bbq sauce was a dream! The homemade chips tasted fantastic dipped in their homemade ranch. It has a very "old times" feel inside, and we loved that.

If you're looking for good ole bbq, you're in the right spot. Did you know Lexington is known for their bbq? There are so many different spots to try it but you're gonna wanna stop in to Smokey Joes and grab a bbq sandwich or a bbq plate. They are known for their vinegar based bbq. If bbq isn't your thing they have many other options and something for everyone

This place serves great Lexington style Carolina barbecue at an affordable price! Some local friends who grew up here recommended this place as one of their favorite spots and it did not disappoint! Our party split both chopped and sliced barbecue (for the out of towners, Lexington style is pork shoulder). For sides, my barbecue slaw and potato salad were delicious, and the rest of the party thoroughly enjoyed their mac and cheese, fried okra, slaw and hush puppies as well. The waitresses gave us refills on sweet tea quite a few times, and we left feeling both full and satisfied.

Great service, fast and attentive. Food came out hot and fresh! I got their buffalo wings, which are more of a dry rub, no sauce. Really good! This place has been here forever and I really love the convenience of the drive thru or dine in. You don't get many drive thru options with bbq in Lexington!
