Simply the very best! We will be back soon! thanks again
AMAZING! Aussies searching for American smoke magic! We found it! Customer service was also 5 🌟!!
We made it a point of stopping in for BBQ at JL Smokehouse while we were in Phoenix. We weren't disappointed. We got a 6 meat tray to try a variety and took what we didn't eat to enjoy later. Delicious!

JL Smokehouse BBQ is a highly praised restaurant known for its flavorful and tender barbecue. The pitmaster, JL, is celebrated for his skill, especially in preparing brisket and ribs, which are often highlighted as the best meats on the menu. Many reviews mention that the brisket is thick, tender, and just insane, while the ribs are flavorful and tender, with a smoky, crispy exterior that leaves a memorable impression. The aroma upon entering the restaurant is described as irresistible, drawing customers in with its deep, inviting scent.
The menu also features popular sides such as mac and cheese, potato salad, greens, and baked potatoes loaded with toppings. The brisket taco and hot link are also mentioned as tasty options. Customers appreciate the friendly, service-oriented staff who seem genuinely caring and welcoming. The atmosphere and aroma create an enjoyable, almost immersive, tasting experience that encourages repeat visits.
While some feel that certain items like chicken and ribs can be dry, overall, the food is highly regarded, often considered some of the best barbecue they have tasted, even compared to places across the country. The restaurant is recommended for those seeking quality barbecue with a friendly, warm environment, making it one of the favorite BBQ spots in Arizona.
