J's Smokehouse BBQ

My experience this time wasn't what I have previously experienced. I ordered the Valentines Day Special. Unfortunately, part of my order was missing, so I did have to go back in to get the rest. The ribs were amazing! Flavor on point! The jalapeno link was delicious with just enough kick! The sides definitely were a miss. The new mac n cheese was very dry(didn't look like the pics). The beans again didn't look like the pics, and tasted like pork n beans with a kick, but were dry. The potato salad was very Mrs. Gerry's like( it may have been). Overall, not bad for $50 bucks. I think next time I'll stick to the corn as my side. I definitely recommend the ribs and jalapeno cheddar links.

Tried this place out today, was very impressed. Got there when they opened- 11:30am. Got the 3 meat platter, also added 3 ribs. Chose the Brisket, Sausage & pulled pork. The sausage w/ jalapeno cheese was a star, good snap, smoke & flavor on point. Brisket had good bark ;texture reminded me of a roast. Nice Flavor. The pulled pork was just ok, a bit dry but still edible. Potato Salad was good, nice texture, the beans were smoky and good. The Ribs are seasoned with Cracked pepper and Salt only, this let's the smoke and meat shine. Total w/ drink was 48.00 with 2 meals of food easily. Give them a try.

I really wanted to love this place. I didn’t just want to love it, I wanted to start telling people “oh you have to go there” in an annoying voice. I’m not quite there yet, but we’re closer than this review may sound. Let’s start with the good, because there’s plenty of it. The staff is genuinely friendly, just a little undertrained. Think “golden retriever energy” rather than “seasoned pit crew.” Nice people, just occasionally missing the details. I went twice, because I’m generous like that. Both times I ordered brisket and ribs. The brisket itself is very good, very Texas-adjacent, with a heavy pepper-forward bark that lets you know it’s not here to be sweet or subtle. I specifically asked for the point, the fatty, glorious, life-affirming cut. Both times I received the lean. Somewher

Get off your behinds and get down to J’s smokehouse. It is hands down the best brisket in Omaha and the best quality for what you pay. The ribs are juicy and tender, and honestly, you don’t need any sauce for them. Yes, I like porky butts, yes I like smoking barrel. But at the end of the day, if I want brisket, I’m heading here. Support these local BBQ joints.

We ordered the brisket which was a 3.5/5 (taste and texture of pot roast) and pulled pork which was 4/5. The sides were all phenomenal 5/5: beans, potato salad, mac and cheese (loved the garlic breadcrumbs on top) and fries. Really enjoyed the corn bread. We will try the ribs next time. Also, I am not sure if you have to ask for BBQ sauce but there wasn't any with our to go order. Great service and friendly staff.
