First opened in 1985, Smokey Joe's BBQ is a community-minded barbeque joint that serves up good old-fashioned comfort food. The restaurant is best known for its pork spare ribs, baked potatoes, and decadent buttermilk pie, but there are plenty of other tantalizing menu items for diners to choose from as well. Meats include ribs, beef, sausage links, chicken, and short ends; these can be ordered in a sandwich, as part of a plate, by the half-pound, or by the pound. Half-price specials on select menu items are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays between noon and 5 p.m.
