“ Food was good, especially the Pit beef and Fries and gravy and Ribs The deviled eggs were Not good to me and had big of chunks of green onions or something in it The service was really good, the girl at the register was really nice And the ambience was good, the seating area echos alot though, a little annoying ”
“ It wasn't my choice but I enjoyed my meal. The cashier was new and in training yet very pilot and tried to be thorough. There was a constant flow of customers which was a good sign for me, a first timer. There's a couple tables for eating in, which we did. It was clean and stocked with supplies & condiments. It wasn't "fast food" but it was hot & fresh when it came out. We all loved the fries!! My Smashburger was tall and tasty! I'd go again; saw some things, salads & such, I'd like to try. You should too. ”
“ Omg we found this hidden gem while out looking for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint. It's situated in a small neighborhood area so you may pass it but we found it and during the time it was. It busy at all. All the food is cooked fresh and prices are within reason. I ordered wings and my hubby ordered chopped cheese (cheesesteak) and fries. We both had plenty left over so that is always a place. It's a small quaint restaurant but the staff was great and even provided samples of homemade items to try. This is another spot on our list when we return. ”
“ Stopped by because I saw the sign and wanted to try it out. Big parking lot and I guess lots of people eat here. I looked at the menu but I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. I was thinking brisket sandwich looked good so when I got in and asked the cashier he said they ran out of it. I said ok wow. Must be good them. I ordered a roast beef sandwich minus the roll prepared medium. He said it will take a few minutes and I said ok. I had taken a seat and waited. The front of the house is kinda small but has a few tables for people to eat and it looks clean with a few pictures around. Drink machine on the far wall waiting for some action. I did not order a drink so not going to get any action from me. At the counter they have a cold case with various deserts you can purchase. I was good so I did not order any. Finally, the sandwich arrived. Sorry no pics but trust me it was good. The beef was cut thin and tender. The aroma of the meat was smoke and warm and juicy. The Roast beef was delicious and if I had the roll it would have been even better but for me if the meat is good it should be able to stand on it's own without bbq sauce. The roast beef was seasoned with salt and pepper and spices that reminded me of Texas style bbq. The gave me one small mini cup of bbq sauce. The sauce was delicious and taste. It was thin like ketchup. I like it. Good flavor with a hint of Kansas city flavors. I like Carolina but Kansas city is ok. This is a good spot for roast beast. I will try the other bbq another time so I can give the thumbs up on this spot for good food. Cheers! ”
“ This is a little gem in Dundalk... A small establishment with limited seating inside, and outside seating which is not recommended during this time of the year. Service is friendly and pretty fast. I had the baby back ribs, tender and tasty. Half slab was delicious, but next time I get the full rack, so I can have seconds. It comes with 2 sides, coleslaw and fries in my case. Good combo with the ribs. I'll be back in this part of town to get me some Smokin' Joes ”
“ Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Atmosphere - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Food quality - 4.5 out of 5 My co-worker has often talked about how good the food is at Smokin' Joe's so we decided to order from there for lunch. Food was amazing! I ordered the Classic Bacon Cheeseburger cooked medium. The temp was closer to medium well, but the flavor was good and the portion is huge! I also had the beef hotdog with chili and cheese added - also really good. The black bottom cupcake was decent, but in my opinion it was a big overpriced. The plain cheesecake was decent as well. I personally wouldn't get dessert from there again, just wasn't worth it. Customer service was phenomenal! The owner was really personable and professional. Interior and exterior was very clean. Seating is limited, but diners have the option to dine inside or outside. With a nearly perfect score of 24.5 out of 25 stars, I give this place an A+ rating I will definitely return ”
