"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smokin’ DJ’s BBQ is hands down one of the best BBQ spots I’ve ever been to! From the moment we walked in, the owner Jennifer made us feel completely at home. Her warmth, genuine hospitality, and great conversation set the tone for an amazing experience. You can tell she truly cares about her customers. Evelyn was also fantastic—so helpful in guiding us through the menu and making sure we picked the perfect dishes. The food itself? Absolutely incredible. Every bite was full of flavor, cooked to perfection, and served with love. Between the outstanding service, welcoming atmosphere, and mouthwatering BBQ, Smokin’ DJ’s is a place I’ll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!"

"The best Chicken I've ever had in my life ! And this was a half hour before closing time on rainy Thursday night. Wonderful potato salad and bake beans, and of course, we had some fabulous ribs too, served by smiley faces and people with warm hearts. Who can cook like this ?? Answer --they can"

"Really cool and great BBQ joint. Brisket was juicy and perfectly smoked. The collars greens out of this world. Homemade corn fritters flavorful and non greasy. The place is spotless and the bathroom immaculate. I rarely put 4 stars all the way, but when people care that much an every level, that really need to be said and value. Super nice and accommodating host and very raisonnably priced."
