Smokin' Joe's Saloon: Reviews & Ratings
I had the best Reuben ever here! The lobster queso was amazing as well. Great beer selection, and the staff are incredibly attentive and friendly!
Long time favorite bar on East Carson St....GREAT bartender and food. Mushroom swiss burger and Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned...perfect!
Fun dive bar with exceptional food, excellent service, good music on the jukebox, fun vibe. Colorful inspirational quotes in ladies room Smokin' Sampler was amazing! Pulled pork slider, onion petals, wings, and kielbasa bacon skewers for 10.99 We loved it!
Great little dive bar. Found this place on Google Maps and saw good reviews, so we decided to check it out. The reviews definitely hold up. Service was great. They have good selections on tap and a ton of various canned beers on the display behind the bar. The food was great and for a good price. I had the BBQ rib wrap and the flavor was excellent, nice and cheesy, BBQ wasn't overpowering the rib meat really made the meal. Plus for a 1 upcharge they gave a ton of fries. Plenty of TVs to watch sports and love the decor. Would definitely recommend this place.
Great food, amazing service, and a hard-working staff. This place is wonderful, the appetizer, entree and soup were all perfect. The beer selection is top notch, and there to go selection is large as well. I will definitely be returning here as much as possible.
What a place. Great bartenders, great food, great prices. Sometimes the food is so good that you try to take a pic but your friend starts chowing down. Overall this is the best bar in Southside and I place I’ll go to bat for every day of my life. Long live Smokin’ Joes
