About Smokey and The Brisket BBQ

Smokey and The Brisket BBQ, located off the 8 freeway in La Mesa, offers a Texas-style BBQ experience with a variety of meat and side options, as well as a full bar and arcade room. The restaurant has a spacious interior and exterior seating area with a retro Route 66 vibe, complete with car seat interior booths and posters of classic car movies.

The food is a highlight, with tender brisket, pulled pork, and creamy and cheesy mac and cheese being standouts. The smoked salmon is particularly noteworthy, as it is moist with proper smokey flavors. The sides, such as burnt carrots, cauliflower, and baked beans, are also highly praised.

Customers have praised the friendly service, the cool atmosphere, and the delicious BBQ, particularly the brisket, mac and cheese, and pulled pork. The service is top-notch, with waitstaff going above and beyond to make the dining experience excellent. The restaurant is family-friendly, with a back room featuring games and a pool table, and is also wheelchair accessible.

The indoor/outdoor seating is awesome, and the vibe and atmosphere are great. Visitors recommend trying the smoked salmon, pork, and bread pudding, as well as the brisket sliders and meatloaf. The service is fantastic, with attentive and friendly staff who provide great recommendations.

I haven't had BBQ this good in San Diego. If you are craving legit smoked meats this place is awesome. service is as good as the food.

We ate here for the first time while visiting La Mesa and I can’t wait to come back. The food is so good!! Rib meat just fell off the bone and the Cowboy Caviar is highly recommended. Our waitress was so welcoming and kind. I can tell the whole staff is very professional but fun. Great atmosphere is laid back, friendly and good for kids and adults. The beverage selection is amazing and the beer ice cold. You will not be disappointed here!!

1st time visiting this BBQ location. Good food & service. Definitely be back 👍
