When I got home last night from ordering here I was excited to try my peach cobbler and this is what it looks like ? and the food was pretty gross. I was very disappointed . Otherwise the staff were nice when ordering

The portions are ridiculously small! Costed me $28 for 1 rib sandwich (no sides) and a ribtip dinner. Plus they wanted a tip for carry out. The rib sandwich had 1 Small rib and a half, both over cooked and burnt… Rib tips were very undersized! Was told it was a half of pound, definitely not. I’ve Supported this black owned business for over 3 years… I’ll never go back after today.

This is your typical small family BBQ joint. The food was good and the service was good. Pricing was fair. It's a bit out of the way if your staying in downtown Omaha but it's worth an Uber ride. If I ever find myself in Omaha again I would eat here.

Nachos? More like bean and potatoes with a drizzle of brownish cheese. Fried chicken skin was a rock and took amy meat with it, the Mac n cheese tasted old and plain. The brisket was good but I wouldn't return for any other reason.

Waited over a hour for food ,waitress got into it with a guy on take out when he asked for a refund she told him no. But finally gave it to him after she was hysterical and told him she could give everything back but the 10 tip. Lady behind counter was very unprofessional. The people that came in after us got their food before us. Didn't want to ask about our food because of how she acted with previous customer. Afraid she might start crying again. I would not recommend this place to anyone because of the service. Also the wings were burnt.
Waited over 30 mins to get my order taken. Then had to wait over 45 more mins to get my food. I went with a group of people (11 of us) they could not accommodate us. My husband ordered a half rack of ribs and got 1 rib, no sour krout on my ruebun. Half of our group got their orders and left 30 mins before we even got our food. Terrible experience!!!! Only reason they got 1 star is that's how I could leave a review.

Smoking Jay is the man! Good food, decent prices, fun atmosphere, has that old school feel to the place. I've eaten here, and done work for Jay as a contractor, he's a good dude, easy to work with, and keeps a positive attitude.
