Smokin' J's Rib and Brewhouse

Cool bar/restaurant, decent beer selection, lots of bourbon. The bar area is huge with tables around it a small patio. All the food we had was good and our party had most of the menu. It wasnt very busy, but our service was a lil poky but not bad.

Updated review on 2nd visit. The last one was extremely detailed and management actually responded to any issues I mentioned, so extra points for that. This review I'll keep short and sweet.

I still recommend this place! Stopped in on a Friday night, and hour before close and they still happily sat us. Food both times was hot and absolutely delicious. Prices are very fair considering portion and quality. Staff was friendly and efficient. This place should be hopping and deserves more business. Check them out if you're in town.

The food here is much better compared to when the restaurant had its previous name. Unfortunately, the service hasn’t matched the quality of the food. When I come in, I often don’t get greeted, and that sets the tone for the experience.

Some of the staff are polite and professional, but others have made me feel unwelcome. For example, the manager Christy usually looks unhappy when she sees me, which is disappointing since she doesn’t know me personally. The new waitress, Taylor, ignored me throughout my visit. Even after I complimented the food, she showed no interest and brushed me off. When I asked her why she ignored me, she said I was being rude — which felt unfair since I was simply trying to engage.

To me, good service doesn’t take much: just checking in to see if everything is alright and acknowledging customers with respect. Thankfully, some of the other waitresses here do exactly that, and I really appreciate them. When treated with respect, I give the same energy back.

The atmosphere itself is nice, and I enjoy socializing here, but the management needs to make sure all staff treat customers with the same courtesy.

I was in a few days ago and I saw several employees vaping in the party room and over all they were quite rude. The food was slow to come out and cold once it did. Very disappointing that this kind of thing is allowed to go on.

Dinner was great! The next morning (after staying at the hotel) we had a completely different experience. We waited 45 minutes for our breakfast, which then came out incorrectly. Also, a fried egg in place of scrambled was a $2 upcharge. Maybe breakfast isn’t their thing, but this is the breakfast option at the hotel.

My wife and I were in the area and decided to try something new. We were pleasantly surprised the restaurant was not very busy. The staff were extremely attentive. No wait for a seat. We sat on the terrace outside. We had a starter the pickle chips. They were amazing. We elected to order the smoking J’s feast. It was huge. The food that was meant to be hot was hot. The food that was supposed to be cold was cold. The cornbread was good. The macaroni and cheese was good. The broccoli salad was good. The ribs were great. The brisket was tender and tasty. And the pulled pork was very good. Parking was free, which is always nice. Our server did a great job making sure if we needed something we were taking care of. When it was time for the bill, she brought us some boxes. We loaded up enough for a picnic another day.
