Jokers Cajun Smokehouse

Absolutely love the wings here! I don't eat red meat so I'm not able to enjoy a lot of the smoked meats they have but man... I love coming back for those wings. Apparently they won best wings of Chicago in 2022 also.

Sooo so so sooo so goood!! Original vibe, unique menu, drinks and the great service!! Will definitely be back!

I went in a couple weeks ago, and when I see "Cajun smokehouse", I think of flavor and good food. I was disappointed with service and food. The service sucked, the guy who took our order, was on the phone the whole time and talking to his girlfriend. Like what?!? Wasn't really around when we needed him, and till we asked for the checked is when he was finally off the phone. Now, the food. I was highly disappointed with that. We ordered the gumbo for the appetizer, that honestly tasted like water with white rice, and only had 2 shrimps. The cornbread was burnt and just hard (didn't eat that). The collard greens had no flavor, and the Mac and cheese was warm on the top and cold at the bottom. I would say the only thing that saved was the ribs. The ribs had flavor and fell the bone. The other 3 meats, was not seasoned nor hot. Overall it wasn't great.

My favorite BBQ dinner bar none, ever. These guys are bringing their A game, everyday. We went for dinner for two, and got a combo platter, some sides, and the wings. The chicken was some of the best I've every had, smoky and juicy, the brisket was fall apart tender, and I was literally able to pull the bones out of my ribs. For the sides, what I had was good, but the house pickles were the perfect tangy counterpoint to the meats. Planning on going back soon.

The food here used to be good and prices were reasonable but on my last order from here the prices were different from their menus on their website. The food was bland and part of the order we did not get. I had to go bad to get the rest.

The best smoked chicken wings I’ve had. Brisket was also very good. Highly recommend the Carolina sauce

Came at lunch time and it was alright. Pretty typical bbq experience at reasonable prices. The cajun options we tried didn't appear to be all that special. The standout dishes were the mac and cheese pulled pork combo and the hush puppies.

I tried this place at the Randolph festival and wanted to see if the food would be as good on a second try. I highly recommend this place. The smoked chicken and macaroni are spectacular!

Really wanted to give this place a go since whenever we have driven past it looked busy. My partner ordered the brisket and jambalaya and I had the pulled pork with a side of cole slaw. My partners brisket came out visibly dry and very hard to cut and the jambalaya had little to no flavor. The cole slaw was absolutely flavorless and I asked to have it taken off the bill. The pulled pork was the best part of the meal. I really really wanted to have a good experience but it just didn’t happen tonight.

Dined in with our kids, the service and food was excellent. Even my picky kids loved their food. Loved the pop-punk music being played, kids loved watching the music videos playing. We will be back.

Went for dinner on a Friday and there was plenty of seating (let’s change that, people!). We ordered chicken tenders, hush puppies and burnt ends for apps and the tenders and the burnt ends were awesome! I liked the hush puppies but I think they may have had seafood in them, so that threw me. The jambalaya and the gumbo were soooooooo good. My bf got the 4 meat platter and it was good but it definitely didn’t beat the max and cheese with brisket that mg sister got of the fried shrimp po boy that I got! The bread on the po boy was so soft and good. The mashed potatoes with the gravy, oh my gos. Everyone agreed hands down our favorite. Wow. We would drink that gravy. Finally, the desserts.the caramel nut brownie cheesecake was amazing, honestly. The blueberry cobbler was good. The cocktails were ok & I don’t recommend the corn bread.

Waitress was great, the food was terrible. Not her fault. Not sure what's going on in the kitchen but yeah, really not a good eating experience. Fries and fried shrimp were overcooked and didn't really taste like anything. Cocktail had no alcohol in it lol (just juice). Pulled pork sandwich was okay but dry. Sorry to karen on but I feel like I gotta say something publicly as a warning because of how expensive it is. Bill ended up being like $55+ for 2 people, granted we didn't order that much overall. I think it would've been a lot more if we ordered like full meals and sides and drinks each.

Blatant false advertising, there's neither smoke, nor a house.

The staff was very welcoming, the place is cozy and the BBQ is incredible!!

Best Cajun in all of Chicagoland! Drove 2 hours to come and try it and didnt disappoint one bit! Amazing Smoked Chicken, Ribs and Jambalaya! Thanks Tim for serving us up right & the owners were very friendly
