Had a great experience at Smokey Mo’s BBQ. The food was exactly what you want from a BBQ spot—hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything tasted slow-cooked and well-seasoned, with that classic smoky flavor that makes you want to keep eating even after you’re full. What really made the visit stand out was the service, especially from Eli Vela, who was making my food. He was focused, efficient, and clearly knew what he was doing. At the same time, he stayed friendly and made sure everything on my order was done right. You could tell he takes pride in his work, and it showed in both the quality of the food and the overall experience. Overall, Smokey Mo’s delivered on both food and service. Between the great BBQ and Eli Vela going above and beyond, it turned into a genuinely memorable visit. Employees like that make a big difference, and he definitely deserves recognition for how well he represents the place.

The staff is friendly and helpful! The smoked brisket and smoked turkey is delicious. Not everyone knows how to make coleslaw, Smokey MO’s BBQ coleslaw is also delicious!

The food here is always excellent, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. They truly take great care of their guests every time. The brisket is outstanding — I always ask for it moist — and the cream corn is another favorite. Eric always goes above and beyond with a smile, making you feel right at home. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem!
