Smokey John's Bar-B-Que

Excellent barbecue, of course. Among the very best I've had. We tried the brisket, ribs and hot links. Sides included coleslaw, mashed taters and coleslaw. All were spot-on tasty and fresh.The friendliest staff treats you like nothing is more important than making you happy!We would eat here at least weekly if we lived locally!

I placed a take out order here on November 4, 2024 after competing in a Jiu Jitsu Tournament in Dallas. I was craving BBQ -- thanks to Yelp, I stumbled upon Smokey John's. It was about an hour to closing so the place was almost empty. But the staff here were still very attentive, professional and friendly. Popular menu items include: slow-cooked brisket, juicy ribs, house-made sausages, fried catfish, blackened tilapia, collard greens, candied sweet potatoes, and mac and cheese.I ordered " The Smoke Plate" brisket with collard greens and Mac n cheese. And they did NOT disappoint!When in Dallas, you have to stop by Smokey John's for some BBQ, you won't regret it!!

My wife loves the new state fair foods. She saw the local fox channel featuring Smokey John's smoked pastrami. Since pastrami is made from brisket I was intrigued. We live about 90 minutes north of John's but a trip to love field seemed like the perfect opportunity to try them. I will say this sandwich is only available Friday and Saturdays for a limited time. This was an amazing sandwich I mean the most delicious moist meat I've had. Service on rye bread with a slice of Swiss. I've had the famous Katz deli pastrami I think this is better. Just when I thought it could not be better, I bought their Friday only turkey dinner to go. Holly cow I got home a few our later and had IFork full of the dressing, maybe the best I have had. And the yams OMG. Brothers Brent and Juan are doing their dad John proud. The brother were working augmenting staff and just interacting with customers. I had a good guess they were the owners by the way the carried themselves. I had to look them up to be sure. I cannot wait to come back next week for some BBQ. If you don't come try this food you are doing yourself a disservice. Five stars are not enough

This establishment didn't disappoint. Found this gem online. My son and I had the catfish, mac n cheese, yams, brisket, cabbage, ribs, sausage, cornbread, potato salad and sweet tea/lemonade mix. Chef's . Friendly staff and awesome owner hospitality. Thanks for the seasoning Brent. Worth the trip from NY. We would recommend Somkey Johns if your looking for authentic Texas BBQ. Until next time

First time trying Dallas BBQ and I hit the jackpot! Rib meat was fall off the bone with just the right amount of smoke and char. The brisket was juicy and tender without being fatty. And the chicken was perfectly cooked and not dry. The sauce was perfect, as was the cole slaw. Mac & cheese, sweet potatoes and corn bread weren't the best I've had but complimented the meat nicely. The service was friendly. Crystal was like a long lost friend greeting you. It was busy during lunch but the line went quick.

I can now remove Smokey John's from my bookmarks. I came here straight from Love Field airport because I was starving. The inside was nice, clean, and roomy on the inside with a wonder smokey smell. The ordering is cafeteria style so I went down the line and got a brisket plate with 2 sides (mac and cheese, greens). I was given a choice of cornbread or Texas toast and I opted for the toast which none was ready. I was told that I would have a piece brought to my table and I proceeded to sit down and eat hard.I hate to say I didn't enjoy my food. There was nothing spectacular about the brisket flavor wise. I can at least say it was tender. The greens were tender but salty. The mac and cheese was probably the best out of everything but not great. I never saw that piece of Texas toast that was promised to me and I was not happy about that. It wasn't busy and I walked straight in and ordered when I got there so go figure. Being from Texas I expect a barbecue spot to deliver and Smokey Johns dropped the ball through poor food and service. I wouldn't come back nor could I recommend this place to anyone. There are too many great barbecue places to eat at in the great state of Texas and the competition is fierce.

I was visiting in town and had a craving for hot links. So I looked up this place and had my brother take me there for the first time. Well let me say the atmosphere was chilled and not over crowded. But the staff was super amazing! They greeted us when we arrived and explained how to order food. We both ordered the fried fish basket, it came with five pieces and fries. I got small greens and Mac&Cheese. Greens were good and same with Mac&Cheese. Also, I got the hot link basket with fries, to go, ordered with no salt. We had to wait about 15-20 on the fish basket and it was worth it. They came hot and seasoned very well. My brother was full and enjoyed it. I had sweet tea and peach cobbler for dessert, which I brought back to the motel for later. And to top it off, the Sons owner stopped over to thank us for coming and had a wonderful demeanor. I would definitely come back again, because the staff was constantly asking if we needed anything.

If you live in DFW, and have not heard of this place, you are missing out. This is the type of place that makes you feel right at home. The food is delicious, the establishment is super clean and the staff is world class. I would like to say a big thank you to the owner Brent for stopping by our table to say hello, and I would like to give a shout out to Benny for his outstanding customer service. Brent, you have done an impeccable job with creating such a family environment. Thank you for making my birthday so special, and I cannot wait to go back.

in 2024, they catered for catfish dinner for 75. Food arrived timely and it was hot, fresh, timely, DELICIOUS and the driver was professional and friendly. We look forward to our next even with them on 3/8/2025.

Went here on my lunch break and LOVED it! The service was incredible! It was quick, everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was great with a hometown, cosy feel. And the food was even better!! I ordered the chopped brisket sandwich plate with potato salad and mac and cheese, and my boyfriend ordered the pound of smoke plate with the same sides. The meat was tender and moist! Overall we both rated it a 10/10!
