Customer Reviews
There is a reason Smoky Jon's has so many awards, the BBQ is Amazing!!! We got the brisket, pulled pork and a 1/2 rack of ribs. All the meats were flavorful and tender, the brisket being our favorite. The pulled pork and ribs were a very close second. The mac and cheese was a cup of creamy, cheesy goodness. The coleslaw had the right amount of zing. The BBQ sauce was a delicious vinegar based sauce. We will absolutely go here again!!
Our first time visiting and I was quite disappointed. I ordered the half chicken and half ribs with coleslaw and macaroni salad, neither of which were very good as well as very small portions. The meats did not have any smoked barbecue flavor at all, in fact the chicken looked like it had been dumped in the deep fryer. The ribs were tender and not dry, but again, did not taste like they had been smoked. For $40 I expected a much better meal. I won't return, and wouldn't recommend.
This isn’t just a restaurant. It’s an experience. We were warmly greeted by the gentleman at the counter who made great recommendations. The warm atmosphere of the dining room makes you feel right at home. Then the food arrives, They don’t skimp on portion sizes! I had the ribs and I can say with absolute certainty. They were the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life. The skin on french fries were also amazing. This was a family meal and everyone had an amazing experience. We can’t wait to go back.
Delicious! The chopped pork was great by itself, add the creamy coleslaw & BBQ sauce was delicious! I had a bite of the smoked ham- moist & savory. We will be back! I want to try the sirloin burger!
Having recently moved to the area I was looking for the best local establishment to satisfy my BBQ craving. Based on the overall reviews and wanting to try 'local', opposed to a chain, I chose Smoky Jon's. I ordered the 1/3 slab of ribs and brisket sandwich dinner with corn and beans for sides that came to just shy of $30. ($30. did not include the additional $5. tip for literally no service. Ordered at counter and not once did anyone come to my table to check on me or refill beverage) Food came on a styrofoam plate with plastic utensils. First of all the 2 sides were barely bigger than some restaurants ketchup cups. SO SMALL! The corn was so garlicky I couldn't eat it. The beans tasted like they just opened a can of pork and beans and had little flavor. I would be embarrassed to
