The Joint

Let's be honest, when you think NOLA, BBQ isn't what comes to mind. BUT! If you are in the mood for some great BBQ and you are in New Orleans, The Joint is a fantastic find. This place is local and feels it from the time you walk in the door. The brisket is soft and juicy (not to dry) with the right amount of smoke and char on the crust. The Potato Salad and Mac were delicious! I could literally eat a pint of that Potato Salad. I am going to go out on a limb and say that The Joint is the best BBQ in NOLA.

WOW!!! This is insanely great bbq spot. Some of the best bbq I’ve had in my life. The burnt ends and pulled pork in particular were out of this world. Amazing service, really great people. Love the decor. Great price for the 3 of us to be completely stuffed. The pecan pie was also easily the best pecan pie I’ve ever had. Come here if you get the chance. I loved it so much had to take a tshirt to remember and brag about it back home!

This was a great find. After spending most of our visit in the French Quarter enjoying Cajun food and seafood l, it was nice to get out of the area and try something else. The brisket was amazing and they have a local sauce company make their own recipe just for them. Everything is homemade. The coleslaw was fresh and not over whelming with vinegar or dressing. We enjoyed the meal and everyone was very since and chatted with us and our friends about their smoker. This was a highlight of my husband and his friend’s trip.

Food was fantastic and good amount of food for the price. I was super impressed with the pecan pie. Ended up buying multiple slices. The service was on point. I enjoyed the down home hole in the wall atmosphere. Would recommend

This is easily the best barbecue I have ever had in New Orleans! To make things even better, the drinks were cheap, and the cocktails delicious! We were interested in exploring areas off the beaten tourist path, and our bartender/server was kind enough to write down a list of recommendations! Definitely recommend getting the potato salad, trust me! The Bywater area is great, and The Joint is a perfect example!
