Smokin Js BBQ

100000% yes! I absolutely loved the tacos. The wings were crispy and still moist. The platter was the star of the show. A little taste of everything, my friend and I split everything and we still had to take some home. It was so much food. Loved every bite. Don’t sleep on this place downtown. 🫶🏻

Is this good BBQ for San Diego? Yes. Is it a level of BBQ a lot of Californians haven't had before? Yes. Is it a 5 for BBQ potential? The answer is a definitive no. The Brisket is solid, but the rest is just kind of passable if you've had world class BBQ before. The sides were kind of forgettable to me, and that is a big detractor personally, because if you're going to put the effort in for BBQ then why just have boring sides. About the only thing creative was the beans, and that was just in a different way, and not really these are amazing way. Go visit, have the BBQ, enjoy it, but the next time you are in Texas go reset your BBQ baseline. I wasn't going to post a review, but this is rated 4.9 when I wrote this, and having a 4.9 in its current state is a crime to amazing BBQ.

Service was great we ordered and the food was there within minutes. The servers were very nice and would pass by often asking if we needed anything or picking up dishes they were awesome!! Great food and good drinks i had the pulled pork tv dinner. I tasted the ribs and I loved everything but their bean crack and the ribs were the stars for me. Definitely coming back to try the brisket!! Best Bread pudding and cornbread hands down! Dont forget to order the cider👌🏽👌🏽
