All good can't miss going here. Catfish is my favorite, greens and the cabbage are the bomb..

BarBQ is soooo good, you don't need the sauce. Remarkable! Diamond in the rough. Reasonable prices and delicious food both meats and sides. I travel the country and this is great "Que"! If you don't visit this family business, it's your loss.

Reddit showed me this place and did not disappoint!!!! I could smell it from a block away. Bought a heavy hitter from me mom and wife and it was finger licking good!!! The sides were a huge portion. Has enough food for lunch and dinner. Thank you!!

Hubby just brought home takeout and oh my gracious! The St Louis ribs were amazing! Perfectly done! Great flavor! Fall off the bone! Everything else (Mac-n-cheese, greens, cabbage, okra, bread) was also good. The cabbage had some spice to it so be warned but the flavor was still really good. Hubby says the restaurant itself was small but amazingly clean (including the restrooms). The people were nice and friendly and knowledgeable about their product. We would definitely return!

My daughter and I visited her today and purchases the brisket sandwich with fries and pulled pork loaded baked potato and collard greens. The food was delicious and great flavors. The brisket was moist and well seasoned. The fries were lightly battered given a crunchy texture and the loaded potato was amazing! The collards were ok lack seasoning but added some brisket and seasoning made it better. Overall, great customer service who provided recommendations for sandwiches.

I can't believe I've been living in this part of town for 10 years and first time trying this place. I was craving Bbq and saw this was the closest spot that was opened. Food is delicious, you can smell that familiar Bbq smell from outside. This is a quaint and clean restaurant, staff is super friendly. My husband and I ordered the Slugger - with Smoke Sausage, Rib Tips, Pulled Pork, Pork Belly, Hot Links, Potato Salad, Mac N Cheese, Collard Greens, Coleslaw, BBQ Beans, and BBQ Spaghetti. Everything was mouth watering oh so yummy!

This was our first time trying JL Smokehouse and we had a fabulous experience. All of the food was delicious, and we got lucky and even met JL himself, his wife, and Dee who were all super sweet. They cook from the heart and it shows in the flavor of the food! We got the brisket, pulled pork and ribs, as well as Mac n cheese, bbq beans and a bbq brisket taco. All were yummy but the brisket was our fav - such a yummy flavor in the seasoning and perfectly tender. Food 10/10 Customer Service 10/10 We are excited to come back and try more of their menu, including their sandwiches and more tacos for lunch. We luckily live nearby. Happy to say we finally found a delicious arizona bbq place!

We flew in from Seattle and I was craving bbq. I'm from Texas and if you know you know Texas bbq is the BEST! As soon as we got off of the plane we headed to eat. And there is no better place to be go than an off the grid restaurant to get the flavor of the city. We arrived at JL Smokehouse and we were greeted with the smell of brisket. We ordered the Heavy Hitter. 5 meats and 3 sides. Brisket Ribs Chicken Cut ribs Pulled pork Baked beans Potato salad Coleslaw Meat was tender and nicely seasoned and char in the meat. The potato salad was the best side to me. Nicely seasoned soft but firm potatoes. Coleslaw had a nice vinegar kick in the back of the mouth. Nice and crunchy. Baked beans sweet and a little spicy. Just right. We did not try any dessert we were stuffed from the food. The heavy hitter is enough for 3-4 people. We never finished it all. This was a great experience. Awesome R&B music playing. Staff were extremely friendly and patient.
