Today was my first time ever getting some food from this place and I tell you they have five stars rating for a reason. The pull pork sandwich, the brisket sandwich, and the smoked mac & cheese were all perfect. Everything tasted fresh and the staff was friendly. I will be coming back to try the rest of the menu 100% recommended.

Dear god the brisket is amazing

Definitely the best brisket I have had in Ohio! When cooked right, the marbled fat in an excellent brisket has just started breaking down, but not poured out. Perfectly moist and tender! With just enough extra fatty pieces to fry some eggs for breakfast the next morning! I will definitely be back.

Joe’s Barbeque in Kent, Ohio, is hands down the best spot for brisket I’ve ever found in the state. The brisket is slow-cooked to perfection—tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, with just the right amount of bark and juicy fat. Every bite is proof that Joe’s knows exactly what they’re doing when it comes to real-deal barbecue.

Amazing food and everything else but they don’t have a phone to where you can call them and place an order to where you show up there after driving 20 minutes and I’m not having pulled pork and only having a brisket left. No one wants that tried to call this number 10 times in the last week. The number doesn’t even work so why have it listed with the restaurant?

Outdoor seating at a couple picnic tables. Smell of the wood smoke and meat roasting. Great beef brisket, Mac and cheese. Bread was from their next door neighbour.

lol this place is literally so good it ruined brisket from anywhere else! Also, the young men who were working when we went were very kind and sociable and it made the whole experience even better! 10/10! Easily the best barbecue we’ve ever hand and we’ve had barbecue in “BBQ Capitals” like D.C./Northern Virginia and Texas.

Can't beat the flavor plenty big enough just straight out awesome!!!!!!!
The beans, potato salad and macaroni and cheese are all great! Can't wait to try the pastrami and ribs! The banana custard is flavored just right without being heavy or too sweet. The sweetness is subtle so the banana flavor comes through perfectly.
Only downside is when it rains the parking lot is muddy and full of puddles to navigate, be careful!
Worth driving out of town for the brisket, its stellar!!!
Will be a regular! I don't feel heavy, greasy or bloated after eating here, they truly make their food from scratch and with passion.
