Went in for lunch at smoking Jay's. Everything was amazing. Had a half rack of pork ribs cooked to perfection. The smoked Mac was outstanding, the okra was delightful. and the cornbread was the kind you only get in your dreams. Jackie Jay was a joy. This man loves what he does, and you can see it written on his face. If you want real local BBQ, take a trip to South O and dine with Jay. You will not be disappointed!!!

Tried the Philly cheese steak and was enamored by their signature cheese sauce.. and the MAC AND CHEESE is PHENOMENAL. Homemade and cheesy to perfection. My only criticism is I wish the BBQ platter my gf ordered offered more than one small cup of their sauce. Big pulled pork dinner needs sauce to match portions. I should have just asked the staff cuz the lady inside was friendly as could be. Definitely returning!!

Overall excellent food. I had the pulled pork and smoked sausage, with smoked Mac and cheese and onion rings. This came served with toast and cornbread.
The pulled pork was flavorful, if a bit dry. The sweet sauce more than made up for this though! Just a small amount of sauce made the pork quite delicious.
The smoked sausage was perfect, no complaints at all. Flavorful, moist, smoky flavored. Perfection.
Max and cheese was likewise delicious. Very cheesy and had a light smoky taste to it that paired well with the BBQ pork and sausage.
Onion rings left a bit to be desired. They were seasoned well, and probably would have been good but they seemed simultaneously slightly over cooked but also were not hot when they arrived.
The cornbread and toast was cornbread and toast. Nothing to really say besides that! The cornbread was quite good though, and a good consistency!

Place was pretty good. Very friendly, and nice staff. Recommend the baked beans, especially if you like them on the saucy side.

Great service, great food. Food did not take long to get to the table. Friendly atmosphere. Picture is half a rack of beef ribs with baked beans, potato salad, corn bread and toast. I recommend you give them a try.

The meat was tender and flavorful, the potatoes were on point. My only thing was the cornbread was dry, crumbly and cold. We will definitely go back when we are in town!

Edit: THE OWNER DID REACH OUT; HE IS KIND AND TAKES HIS REVIEWS TO HEART AND THAT MEANS HE WILL JUST GET BETTER EVERYDAY!
I did change to 5 star the owner is a great person. He will do perfect. Just tighten up some lose ends. Food needs to be improved. But he is on the right track!
The absolute worst food ever! In this pic is a $70/full rack of ribs with sides that all come out of a can! They are absolutely the most flavorless, generic brand tasting food I have ever tasted. And I am not even kidding! It’s hot in the eating area, no ventilation, nasty, just unreal on the price and not living up to the food for price! I will never go here again and I am not even joking!
