Smokin' Joe's Ribhouse

My buddy and I were in town for a Mountain Biking weekend trip and stopped by for lunch our first day in Bentonville, we were cheerfully greeted and had to only wait a few minutes for a table, the place was packed but very clean and inviting. Once seated we had a really nice waitress take our drink and appetizer orders and I had the best fried mushrooms I have ever had! I also had a salad as a side the was really fresh and packed with meats and vegetables. For my pain I had the BBQ turkey and pulled pork and they were fantastic. Over all it was a great meal and I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I and ever in the area again.

First time here, I just didn't think this place would be that good for some reason. It is a large open area with lots of people working. It is clean and d well maintained. I started with fried mushrooms. They were seasoned perfect, the breading was nice and light - they were very good. I had the turkey bacon club and it was large and very good. I also had the potato salad which was very good. My wife had the open face roast beef. It too was cooked perfectly and seasoned well, and enough for a couple meals. I decided to get desert since everything was so good and had the apple cobbler and it too was very good, not too sweet, swimming in sugar and not too dry. Everything was very good and exceeded our expectations. Price was very fair. Service was a little spotty even with so many working and only a few customers. We will certainly be back.

I stopped by the Rogers, AR location for a quick lunch. I always ask if they have gumbo available and they did. So I had a big bowl of Joe's gumbo for lunch. It was delicious. It's not like your traditional bowl of Cajun gumbo. It has a unique smoked meat flavor about it. The friendly service was outstanding and they were quick to refill my iced tea.

The Joe's nachos are amazing! This is the only Smokin Joe's location I'll eat at. Our waitress was amazing as well!

From California and was looking for a spot the locals come to.... Saw several cars in the parking lot... good sign. Was welcomed with a warm smile and great hospitality. Kollette made sure my aunt was comfortable.... We were about to order to go because it gets pretty breezy in there with the fans blowing but Kolette gave us several seating options and we opted to enjoy the outdoor patio. Inviting place. She was so attentive to us and our food didn't disappoint either. I love the huge red cups of sweet tea!!!! The crushed ice is my favorite kind of ice!!! Yes!!!!! The 2 meat option plate was plenty for us, and we had leftovers to go! Thank you Kollette for a great lunch!!!!

Difficult to find good pulled pork where I live so was pretty thrilled to find some of this calibre. Can't wait to get back to Bentonville to have more!!

Average BBQ that filled us up but I'm sure there are better options around town. We beat the lunch rush and grabbed a booth before the place filled up. They had so many employees, which is good to see, but most of them just stand around the bar waiting for something to do.I went with a 2 meat combo with brisket and mild sausage. For my sides, I picked mac/cheese and green beans. The sides were ok, I preferred the green beans because the mac/cheese was so runny it was basically a soup. The meat was cooked nicely but didn't have a ton of flavor. You really had to cover everything with the variety of sauces to make the meat stand out.Overall, it did the job and we left satisfied but I think there are more options around town that we will try next time.

The food may be good the last I heard the the wait staff was not allowed to keep the tips they earned were not allowed to keep their r tips they had to be turned in. For example one young lady earned a very good tip because of her service. I feel she deserved to keep it, it was even suggested by the customer that they give it to her outside of the restaurant and she refused because she would still have to turn it in to be split up. I have NOT eaten there since. She earned the WHOLE tip!!!!!I would rate the service a 5

Great food and wonderful waitress!!We've eaten here twice in the last week. We travel a lot and haven't found a better BBQ place!

Love their pulled pork plates, dinner rolls and mashed potatoes and gravy. Great service and friendly staff. Gets a little noisy sometimes.
