Reviews for Smokey John's Bar-B-Que & Home Cooking in Dallas, TX

Went for my last meal before leaving Texas and wanted to support a black-owned business in the process. I ordered the Hot Link... basket since it was on special for their anniversary. The basket came with french fries and a piece of Texas toast. The frieswere nice and crisp and the hot links with the barbecue sauce was great. Also split a half pound of brisket. For sides, we hadbaked beans and macaroni and cheese. Both delicious. For dessert I got the butter bomb cake which was their most populardessert, according to staff. it was basically just a very buttery piece of cake. Not as sweet as I thought it would be butprobably sweeter than I realized, lol. And finally I?d be remiss not to mention how dang delicious the lemonade and sweet teawere. Sooooo good! Read more

$16 for a sandwich plate plus $3 for a cup of iced tea made from powder. The brisket sandwich was slightly dry, only one sauce... available which seemed to be a vinegar-based very watery sauce, no sweetness and no spiciness, overall a sauce that I would notserve to my guests. The potato salad was essentially the same quality as the stuff they sell in a plastic container at Kroger.The mashed potatoes were excellent, however, no gravy was available. I won?t be coming back. There are many great BBQ joints inDallas and Smoky Johns is not one of them. I?m not sure Read more

Absolutely Amazing is All I Can Say. First off let me say I'm not really big on BBQ, & since I've moved to Texas I've yet to... find a BBQ place that made me want to go back again, & again until today. Today I wanted to give Texas one more shot at BBQ so Ichecked out Smokey John's. As you can see from the pic I purchased the Ribs and Sausage Plate. I chose baked beans, and potatoesalad as my 2 sides. I also purchased a side of Mac and cheese, and Cabbage. EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing. Thank youSmokey John's for the hospitality, and outstanding customer service you provided when I patronized your restaurant today. You'vedefinitely gained a new regular customer?? Read more

After GMA report, I had to come out and taste for myself! Never really knew of this place. And I don't know how but today's... lunch was Smokey John's BBQ. I had the brisket (moist) plate with Mac' n Cheese and Baked Beans and I even ordered the Coleslaw. Everything was delicious and greatly appreciate the cornbread on the side. I gave it a 5 star not only for the great foodbut also because you can see they really care about their customers. I spoke to one of the owners as he was walking by to checkin on everyone dining at the tables. I let him know how I got to their place and asked when is the competition. He said itscoming up this Monday. Both brothers are flying over to NY. I really felt proud of my Texas Family. I let him know the FloresFamily will root for Smokey John's! Read more

The food was great here. I had to stop in today after hearing about it on the USA Today special and competition. I got the ribs... and the brisket and thought it was very good. The cabbage and mac and cheese were also super great, topped off with a nice coldsweet tea. Read more

Smokey John's BBQ has okay food but the service is where things went up in smoke. The catfish and Mac and cheese were good with... plenty of flavor. My partners turkey was bland and left us sharing my catfish. As for the service only the gentleman at theentrance seemed enthused about customers coming in. Overall, I think we'll allow some time before giving them anothershot. Food 3/5 Service 2/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Parking 5/5 Read more

Delicious BBQ spot in Dallas! It?s located in a small complex with free parking. I ordered the smoked beef brisket platter with... green beans and macaroni & cheese. Food was delicious and service was fast! Workers were also very friendly! My meal was about$20 which is a good price for smoked meat! Read more
