Review Smokey John's Bar-b-que & Home Cooking - Dallas

Eric Williamson
I wish the Application would allow my to add 5 more Stars. Trust me, it was that good. The food was savory, seasoned to perfection, and the icing on the cake was I received service with a smile. If I wore hats, I would tip my hat to Smokey John's BBQ. I think my favorite was the brisket and the ribs. Well, I changed my mind. I enjoyed the brisket, ribs, and the sausage:) I hope I don't get sued for using a line from a movie, however it was so good it makes you want to slap your moma:) Job well done Smokey Johns.

Smokey John's has great BBQ for a good price. The vegetables are so awesome! I had the fried catfish basket for the first time and it didn't disappoint. The staff is very friendly. I would recommend anyone looking for good BBQ to try Smokey John's.

Not too far from the airport. Good brisket but not the best, probably because I, inexplicably, opted for the lean cut, instead of the other option, but it greatly improved when the BBQ sauce was added. Brisket can be sliced or chopped as it is cut right there in front of you. Friday's special is turkey and gravy and I definitely will give that a try if I ever get back. One of our party ordered the fried catfish and I think she should have been advised that it would take a very long time for her entree to be ready. I don't think she was as she joked that they had to go catch it first. You might want to ask about the arrival time before ordering fried catfish.

The food was great, brisket had a nice smoke ring and pulled apart nicely on the plate. The chicken was also AMAZING. The collard greens were not so great but the meat made up for it. Ordered through their website, picked up the order. Would definitely recommend

Although I do not like that they tossed the gravy 2-hrs before closing time, they have phenomenal customer service & pretty decent BBQ!! This is somewhere I'd revisit. It's extremely hard to find decent BBQ nowadays. #BlackOwned 👑 🖤

I didn't have any barbecue on my visit. I ordered the Friday lunch special, chicken & dressing + 2 sides for $11.99. The chicken was super moist, and the giblet gravy is worth going back for. The sides were decent. The service was friendly.

Great place, found it with google, food was quite good, I had the ribs which were great, and the brisket which was awesome. The sides I had were the beans and cole slaw. I was not a big fan of the bbq sauce but that would be the only knock I could come up with.
Kelly Rowe
Tasty barbecue and an extra large baked potato! Everyone was really friendly.. even when we accidentally left about 10 minutes after close due to jet lag and not paying attention! Thanks again!😁

First time coming here had a great experience. Got the lunch special the blackened beef tips in gravy over rice. Came with 2 sides and some corn bread. The mac n cheese was excellent and the yams were also excellent. This is a great soul food place. Their main focus is BBQ which I must admit smells amazing. If you come by the donut ship in the morning ING you can smell them starting up the smoker in the early morning it's a wonderful smell of mesquite wood. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere feels homely. I'll come back hopefully with friends or coworkers.

Got off the plane & was looking for a good BBQ place & I didn't have to look any further! Everything was delish down to the Arnold Palmer. The brisket was tender, juicy & flavorful! We got hot links to go because they were just that good. Will be back before my vacay is over.

It was the best food I've tried so far. What made it even better was this place feeds the soul with the word of God! It was exactly what my husband and I needed. Definitely going to make this a regular for us. The people were outstanding and I can't say enough about this place.

The food at Smokey John's is absolutely deeeeelicious! I cannot pick a favorite because everything was so good, however, the smoked turkey is moist, tender and flavorful and the macaroni and cheese is to die for! It is sooo creamy and you can just taste the homemade love. The food was catered to my job and the folks here absolutely loved it as well and we cannot wait to try it again, but I am going to make it a point to get to the restaurant. Kudos!!!

I am a very picky eater and absolutely ❤️BBQ...the BBQ here is DELICIOUS! The lemonade is very tasty, and the cakes are award-winning...the mac-and-cheese is hands down one of the best that I've ever eaten...I've been here several times and they are always on point!

So I've been sleeping on this place. My job catered from here over the holidays & I've been a fan since. So I stopped in today & got a plate. They have great specials & options. The food is delicious.....down home comfort food is right on point.

I thought their BBQ was the best...then I had their stuffed baked potato & that became the best...then I had their fried catfish. Love their delicious food & great customer service!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 They love what they do & it shows!!!

Smokey John's does not scrimp on the wood that's for sure wonderful hickory smoke flavor in the brisket and the chicken the sausages are outstanding, they also have pork and turkey besides our old fashioned East Texas yams and green beans cucumber salad all the things many of our grandmothers used to make

My new "go to" BBQ place when I'm in Dallas. I had the "pounder" 5 different meats, each better than the other. Side are just as good. Slaw, beans and cornbread are awesome. Just what a BBQ place should be....not fancy, just great people and great food.

This is not only “just a place to eat.” If we had more people like this in the world, it wouldn’t be such a disappointing place every time we turned around.
Jennifer Lucian
We were in Dallas sight seeing and had other plans for dinner but changed last minute and glad we did. It's at the top of the best barbecue I've had. Defiantly a must visit while you're in Dallas!
Denise Winston
The food was excellent it was my first time there so they gave me some samples so I can decide what I want I had the rib platter the ribs was so tender and delicious
Javier N Genie Cepeda
I'm new to this location but I've never been disappointed it's very good & the environment is good too.. The macaroni and cheese is to die for... I love yams!!!
Allen Helton
This place is amazing. 100% real barbecue. I've eaten in a lot of barbecue joints and this ranks up there in the top 5
Reginald Ikechi White
Great food and service. My brother suggested this place and when I'm in Dallas this is where I eat. Great fried catfish too! My only complaint is they don't make enough banana pudding or maybe my timing is off. Definitely my home away from...

Let me tell you, Smokey John makes some damn good BBQ with some pretty delicious side dishes as well! The folks here are incredibly hospitable, I asked for a recommendation on what I needed to try as a first-timer from out of town, and soon enough I was sampling all the delicious meats, which didn't help because sure enough I wanted everything! I had to go with the Big Smoke plate with Ribs, Brisket, Sausage, and Ham (don't sleep on the ham, people often overlook the ham as a BBQ meat, but I'm telling you, give ham a chance). All of them delicious, my favorite were the fall-off-the-bone ribs. For my sides I got the Cabbage and the Mac and Cheese, which looks great and tastes even better! Smokey John's high Yelp rating is well deserved, the food and the folks here are total 5-stars!
