The lunch special - any sandwich + fries $10. I had the crispy catfish and it was great. Nice atmosphere & seemed authentic. Stop by if your shopping on Fulton street

Pulled pork is a must (get Mac + cheese and cornbread too). The pork ribs are a little too dry. But you can fix that by slathering them in sauce. The wings are a nice surprise.

A bustling, if unglamorous barbecue spot, enjoying conspicuous location, proximity to BAM, and some deliciously and festive corn on the cob. The sandwiches outshine the dishes, but the brisket is tops

The short ribs are Brontosaurus-sized, and the Buffalo wings are funkified by smoking them first. It's a veritable melting pot of a barbecue joint, much like the city it's in. Read more

Swine lovers take it to the next level with a topping of pulled pork butt that’s been smoked for 12 hours over ample and hickory. Read more

Nothing beats the trays of meats emerging from the smoker downstairs. Great smoked meats with BBQ sauce & amazing sides, and bourbon selection. Nothing fancy here, just food that'll make you happy.

As much as I love it here, I really do, I don't think I will be back when it's hella busy! Ordered a Hot dog w/ketchup, mustard and beans & slaw. Simple yes?No! I got the hot dog & the slaw. #hurt

Second time at the Smoke Joint, and I highly recommend it. The meats are deliciously BBQ'd Memphis style, so if you like sauce on your BBQ this isn't the pace to go. Otherwise definitely be there!

This place in the trendy clinton hill had a friendly staff, great bbq!!! and portioned sides that you could share. The ambiance was that of a homey feel. They make there own sauces and Drinks on site.

One of the best BBQ spots in BK, love their spare ribs. Relaxed divey feel, great meatless collard greens perfectly smoked (and I'm a collards connoisseur)

The sandwich special is a solid choice… I had the pulled pork with fries, pickles, and coleslaw for only $10. If you're into a more vinegary BBQ, then this is a spot for you.

pulled pork plate is great. the side of cornbread is a must, but it's huge. save room by splitting that and also ordering the corn on the cob

beef hot dog can be topped with chicken, pulled pork, or more chopped beef
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014
The chopped-beef sandwich stands out on the regular menu, and so do the Flintstone-size beef ribs from which the sandwich is made, available two to an order on their own. Read more

On a nice weekend afternoon grab a seat outside on the deck and enjoy people watching while you take a break from your Catfish Sandwich with Spicy French Fries.

Favorite BBQ in Brooklyn. Both the half chicken and Brooklyn wings are the go-to. Everything from the food to the cocktails are priced right.
Francia AlleyneMarch 29, 2015
I ordered the hotdog topped with sauerkraut and pulled pork, seasoned fries, split a half order of ribs, and washed it down with iced tea. Good Eats.
Larry MedinaJuly 8, 2012
The food comes out really fast which is great. And everything is very flavorful. I tried the wings, ribs, pulled chicken, baked beans, corn on the cob and fries. #delicious #food

Super affordable. Brooklyn wings are a great starter. Fries are good catfish sandwich is tasty. Mac and cheese is nothing to write home about, but all in all Smoke Joint a solid BBQ place!
Kimberly AndersonMay 29, 2011
I went last week and had the fried cat fish, a side of mac and the meatless greens. I was full and happy! Try the "tiger woods". Its ice tea and lemonade. Very very refreshing for the nice weather.
LucOctober 26, 2014
BBQ ribs half rack is always good. With some Mac n cheese on the side. Their bbq sauce (with red cap) goes well with the meat!
Helen LewisMarch 27, 2015
6/10. My fellow diners said the brisket was very tough. I had the pulled pork and it was amazingly tasty and tender. We never got our sides so service could be improved.
Sarcastic TanishaApril 2, 2014

Amber NagleJanuary 13, 2016

Sonia Marcus-EvansFebruary 27, 2015
What back with my sister/friend and now asking when are we going again. Love this place and we made a new friend. Shout out to all the teachers out there.
Fiola CesarFebruary 27, 2015
This place is amazing, love their Mac and cheese, drinks are good, and the atmosphere is calm. Would definitely come back.
Wesley VerhoeveDecember 22, 2012
It'd be really great if they'd offer a sampler plate with a few ribs, some pulled pork, some brisket, like most BBQ places do. I'd be here all the time.

Their joint rub fries aren't as good as it used to be AT ALL!!!! Must have: Pulled Pork Sandwich with a Sugar Hill.
Boy_LuceyOctober 26, 2011
The best BBQ (pulled-pork) you will have north of the Mason-Dixon. Plus a great Bourbon selection to boot! Like sittin' on the back porch, just make sure to wear elastic waisted pants.
Sam GilFebruary 21, 2017
Beef short rib and spicy wings are both amazing! Mac n cheese great. Pulled pork very good.
Kyle FowlerMay 22, 2014
The pulled pork sandwich is delicious. Just the right ratio of meat to fat makes for a tender and juicy sandwich.
Kim AhearnMarch 14, 2015
Best BBQ in Brooklyn I've found so far. Pulled pork, collard greens, pot sal, wings - enjoy!
Michael NicholsonFebruary 27, 2018
Get the ribs and the tiger woods drink. Omg. It’s amazing.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 18, 2012
There’s not much better in this world than sitting outside and enjoying an Iceberg Wedge salad (with bacon), a Hot Links sandwich and a Kinda Sweet Tea.
Chris GampatApril 28, 2018
The brisket needs sauce. But good vibes and nice Mac and cheese. In fact, everything needs extra sauce.

The Brooklyn Wings are awesome. The mac and cheese is to die for. The greens are my best friend. I love this place.
Autumn RayneMay 26, 2016
Good lunch special pulled pork was good. Pretty close to eastern Carolina barbecue and I lived there for 14 yrs
James LaurentiAugust 8, 2011
Epic sides--especially the mac and cheese and potato salad! Go with a friend and share a boatload of stuff and then don't move for a month. Read more

The vibe is good - The Crispy Shrimp and Cornbread was really Awesome !!! I didn't quite enjoy the macaroni - but that doesn't mean you won't.
Jen O'NeillAugust 24, 2014
Phenomenal BBQ spot in BK with reasonable prices and a killer spicy smoky Bloody Mary.
Love Lee Tricia LeeJune 23, 2014
Mac and cheez , BK wings and limeade spiked with vodka. How we do.
Michael DavisSeptember 16, 2013
Pulled pork- excellent...cornbread ..very good// the BBQ beans.. Outstanding .//excellent and friendly service
JP SistenichJuly 1, 2015
Ribs are excellent! Chicken wings are a little over cooked and not spicy enough for my liking, but still good.
Lenny GalloFebruary 18, 2015
Service is unfortunately terrible. That being said, the corn-on-the-cob is their best dish. Skip the Beef Brisket, and Mac-and-Cheese and try the ribs. Also, like their spicy BBQ sauce at the table.
ᴡ mcgeeJuly 25, 2011
Tip from Texans: Beef short ribs > pulled pork. Sides: Corn > greens > baked beans. BBQ sauce: sweet and the spicy ones are too runny. Beef ribs and corn were winners.

crispy shrimp with bbq mayo
Maureen NjugunaJuly 20, 2015
The beans have changed and are sweet and not very good. The pulled pork, chicken & other sides are very good.

Beef short rib and bbq fries
Amy HobsonSeptember 1, 2013
I'm not actually eating right now. (Damn diet!!!). I'm outside drooling wishing I could be inside gettin down on some ribs and Mac n cheese! Everything is oh so good here!!
Brendan SpiegelFebruary 22, 2012
Fort Greene’s favorite BBQ spot brings the hot meat-on-meat action by topping a Black Angus dog with pulled pork, beef or chicken (and some homemade coleslaw). Read more
