The food tasted amazing! Especially the wings were perfect. Perfect combination of sauce and crisp! 10/10. The brisket wontons were also very great! The only thing to consider is that it was brisket flavored cream cheese. Which was good but texture of just cream cheese that tasted like beef was a mental adjustment! The service was incredible as well as the atmosphere! Plus If you're from Minnesota the souther accents are awesome! read more

Get the street corn ribs! It's Mexican street corn but cut into strips. Easier to eat. The turkey in the smoked gobbler sandwich was so tender! My only disappointment was the espresso martini. It seemed to be lacking something (kahlúa or if it had it, there wasn't enough). Everything else was great. read more

This place was awesome! My co-workers and I came for lunch while out of town on business. The service was quick and very friendly. Our meals were great. I'm looking for an excuse to come back to this trendy BBQ joint again soon. read more

Food is delicious, great service, and great vibe! Mandi (sorry for spelling of incorrect) was a great waitress! The food was so filling I needed a box but was excited to finish it later. The Frickles are delicious. The burgers are a decent size, and the fries..... so good. The turkey, ribs and pulled pork are like home. Street corn ribs are very fun and a great side! Definitely will be back! read more

Salty ribs. Excellent sandwiches. We came on a Tuesday, and we were seated quickly. The interior was quirky and had lots of miscellaneous stickers and text, which I liked. We ordered the brisket sammie, the full rack of smokehouse ribs, and the MJ cheesesteak. First, the ribs were way too salty for me. They were burnt. I love burnt ends just as much as the next person, but half the ribs were as hard as a rock and tasted like a Himalayan salt lamp. They had good smoke flavor, but the extreme saltiness was unenjoyable. It was 30$ for ribs and a side with fries. The brisket sammie was great. The brisket was fatty and tender and moist. The MJ cheesesteak was my favourite, with extremely tender and moist chopped brisket. The au jus dip was also great. The ribs were the main con (way too salty) but the rest was great. The service was alright. They were only somewhat busy and we had to refill our water ourselves. I would recommend this place, but I could not recommend the ribs. read more

Great pulled pork, marvel atmosphere in the dining area, wonderful service from the wait staff. I ordered the pulled pork and it was divine! I paid extra to have roasted brussels sprouts as my side and it was worth every penny. The portions were huge, which made it even better. We ordered the fantastic onion rings. A++ My husband ordered ribs, and unfortunately, it almost seemed as if they'd been prepared yesterday? Very dry... We brought that to the attention of our waitress, and she took it to the manager on shift. He/she took half of the price of the ribs off of our receipt. :-) Thank you very very much! Our server went out of her way for us. Great customer service here. read more

Huge shout out to the Mary Jane's for being so welcoming to our bigger crew an hour to closing! I was in town for a weekend to see my friends, and after hanging at the pool all day we wanted some delicious food. I got a margarita which was made wonderfully. It was definitely fresh and didn't taste like it was from a premade mix. I also got a quesadilla and it was probably one of the best I've had. The sauce on it was wonderful! I always have a great experience here. Staff is wonderful :) read more

What a prime location for fall football at SEMO! Being a proud alumni, we stopped here on our way back to St Louis. Not sure what I was expecting we were pleasantly surprised. The building has a great ambiance, plenty of seating. Took a few minutes to get service but once once it got rolling it was good. It was fun sharing SEMO stories with the waiter. Their fries were amazing! I got the quesadilla and my hubby the burger. Satisfied us for the rest of the night. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon. Although it took a bit for our waitress to come to our table she was delightful. Super friendly without being sappy. We placed our orders and didn't wait long at all for drinks or food. I ended up getting chicken nuggets bc they are homemade. Hubby got brisket sammie. It was served on tx toast (yum) with fried onions and burnt end mayo on it but bbq on side. Brisket was a bit dry and not smoky enough for him. My chicken was good! I got homemade chips which were also good. This place is really cute on inside with some surprising ways they repurposed items. The parking lot is not big but we found street parking. read more

The fries were delicious! Fresh, crisp and very well seasoned. My companion got a cowboy burger and liked it. I got a sort of patty melt. Not enough cheese and I had to put more dressing from home as there wasn't enough. I would like to tell you how it tasted but I can't. All I could taste was the pepper. Lots and lots of pepper. I couldn't eat it and had to just enjoy the fries. The fries were enough. read more

Had a group for dinner and was sat immediately. Drinks came out quickly. Had variety of mixed drinks and bottled beverages. All were good. Everyone complimented on their dinner and how good it tasted. A variety of meat plates and Mac n cheese bowls and a kids meal. Service was prompt and friendly. Atmosphere was fun. Lots of different decor that makes it a fun place to eat. read more

Food was good, drinks were watery. I'm paying 8.00 dollars. I want to taste bourbon. It was ok, but would not go back

MJ Bourbon & Smokehouse is a great asset to Broadway and close to downtown Cape. The atmosphere is inviting as well as the staff. Jayda is a top-notch bartender who gets to know what you like in a beer, or cocktail. She makes great Old Fashions to your liking. The food was excellent as well - we had the Smoked Gobbler and Mason's Creation. Both served in generous portions - fresh and hot. Our waitress was Kylee and she is the best! Personable, friendly, and truly helps you to have a memorable time. Kudos to Jayda, Kylee and all the chefs who prepared the food. A+++ read more

Very disappointed with our brunch today. I ordered chicken and waffles. Waffles needed salt Chicken was simply chicken fingers - overcooked. Guess expected something else as menu stated "chicken breast"... Usually what we have is delicious- unfortunately today, very disappointed Waffles were those small ones (2) and 3 dry chicken fingers. 1/4 cup of thin syrup. Not enough for the dryness. I hope they will try to improve this in some way, however I will never purchase it again. Server was very friendly, helpful. Food deliverers were quick and efficient. As for ambiance, it's Mary Jane's. It's a friendly place with nice view of the campus and a television at the bar if you want to watch the game. Tables were large to fit all 6 of us. The servers we have had are always trained well and friendly. I left my phone in the car. I could not take a picture. Bummed. I think it would help for others to see what the food presentation is truly. read more

Perfect fun spot for an out-of-towner. Great vibes, service, and delicious food! Try the smash burgers and wontons!

Enjoyed the atmosphere when we stopped off for dinner and picked this place. Bourbon selection is unusual with inexpensive price point for pours. Food was surprising with better than expected veggies, fresh cooked and not overly greasy. Good choices even if bbq isn't your thing. read more

Traveling through the South heading back home we stopped in Cape Girardeau. This was our first time in Cape Girardeau and we picked the perfect place to stop At Mary Jane's Bourbon and Smokehouse. Cody was our afternoon bartender and did a great job suggesting things we had the Wontons And they were delicious And a cocktail of bourbon and grapefruit and honey which was Refreshing on this hot summer day. We made a couple other stops in Cape Girardeau and decided that Mary Jane's was the place to come back to for dinner. Once again it didn't disappoint. Kristen was our bartender and made great suggestions The drinks were great the food was again awesome. We ordered dry rub wings all flats and birria brisket nachos, Both came out hot and fresh Fabulous. We have eaten in many smokehouses throughout our travels And Mary Jane's is top notch. read more

Great food and cocktails. They were really busy when we were there and the server still made sure to be attentive and checked on us often.

Great food and service. Love the vibe. Perfect for lunch, dinner or drinks. I had a gorgeous and filling turkey sandwich. I subbed a side salad for fries and the dressing was so light and yummy. read more

This was our first time visiting and we probably won't go back. The food was average for the price. The best thing was the pork nachos and chicken wings (not pictured). The Mac and cheese had no taste and they only put some sort of seasoning on top, not through out. The baked beans were ok, again not a lot of flavor. The ribs were dry. The service was cool we had a new waitress with help from another girl and they were both nice. read more

Great local spot with solid food, good drinks, and a nice atmosphere. Stopped by on a Sunday around brunch time and was seated upstairs with minimal wait time. I loved the creative interior decor and the open atmosphere with plenty of natural lighting. The menu is fairly varied, with a focus on barbecue and cocktails. The double smash burger with bacon and kettle chips was delicious, especially the kettle chips. The Memphis nachos were also tasty and a good-sized portion. I had a mule from their feature menu to start which was fine, but the highlight drink for me was the 4 Hands Madagascar--highly recommended if you're a fan of stouts. Overall, a really cool place for a bite and drink. Will definitely visit again. read more

We wandered into Mary Jane's Bourbon Smokehouse while exploring downtown Cape Girardeau, and it felt like stumbling onto a story in progress. Tucked across from the Southeast Missouri State stadium, the building--once a car lot, then a dry cleaners--has been transformed into something entirely its own. Inside, the rustic wood tables are carefully arranged in front of large windows and framed by velvet seats perched on weathered concrete floors. A vintage Pac-Man game reimagined as a soda machine sits proudly by the counter, a playful nod to the past made new again. Phil, immediately welcomed us like old friends, flirted with the elderly diners, then sat with us and shared the history of MJBS--noting how it grew from an idea into a beloved local spot, weathering the storms of COVID with grit and heart. With a twinkle in his eye and a big grin, he pointed out the framed photo of Mary Jane, a beloved matriarch and namesake of the smokehouse. And the food? Exceptional. The brisket was tender, juicy, and rich with smoky flavor. The hand-carved turkey was equally unforgettable--moist, savory, and smoked to perfection. Every bite spoke of care, tradition, and a bit of creative magic. Mary Jane's isn't just a restaurant--it's a love letter to what a space (and a meal) can become read more

Absolutely love the place!!! Highly recommend. My wife and I were on our way back from Sikeston and Cape came in about dinner time on a Sunday night. I started Googling restaurants in Cape. This was one of them on the short list. It did take time to be seated, but our waitress was attentive when we got our seat. My wife had a shredded turkey sandwich with broccoli salad and I had a brisket sammy with onion rings and a Oktoberfest 4 Hands brewery draft. Very good. If you're in Cape, Mary Jane's is across from the university, check it out. read more

Recently checked out Cape Girardeau for the 2024 Eclipse. Handy dandy Yelp, led us to Mary Janes for a bite to eat. We visited on a Saturday afternoon for a party of 6, we were quoted a short wait before being seated. Honestly, everything hit the mark across the board! My husband and I shared the brisket sandwich with mac n cheese along with the chicken katso that came with rice, bacon green beans and a side salad. The brisket was tender and flavorful and the chicken had the perfect crunch. We loved all the sides and that came with the entrees and left full and happy! The rest of the group was happy with their meals. The only downfall was that you have to order sauces individually, they do not keep their BBQ at the table. Though this isn't the biggest deal, i love being able to tyr them all and decide which I want. The spicy sweet was my fave, but also the mustard forward one. I would definitely visit them again and enjoy trying some of their other offering! The menu has something for everyone! read more

This place was sooo good we went twice within a few days. We were in town for babe Ruth World Series and needed dinner. Everything, I mean everything was good. If you want some BBQ, maybe a fried smoked bologna sandwich, mac and cheese, fried pickles goooo here! Order it all. It's also a cute little place with GREAT service!!! Our booth was on old truck bed! read more

Service was amazing and the food and drinks were spot on. We were well taken care of and this will be one of my go-to spots when visiting my favorite person. Cute upstairs, comfy chairs and seating, and they hung the rack from the dry cleaners that used to be there in the ceiling which adds a cool feature to look at while you're in the place. I really enjoyed the cocktails I had and shared some of my partners Mango cart and his beans..there was so much meat in them (so he willingly shared). Thanks for great food/drinks and service, we will definitely return!! read more

I feel sorry for our waitress because she was absolutely wonderful. However, we've had restaurant dinners that were less than expected in the past, but this was by far the worst meal we've ever had here in Cape. We came in about 4:30pm on a Friday and ordered the Mighty Trinity. It was absolutely disgusting. The meats were dry and at room temperature at best and looked like they had been sitting on the plate since lunchtime. Are you crazy? read more

Our server was very attentive from start to finish, but not annoyingly so. He wasn't one of those that checks on you every two minutes and makes you nuts, but he did make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. I ordered the cobbler, which is their smoked turkey sandwich and it was really good. The rub around the outside of the turkey was a little heavy on the black pepper for my preferences but it was overall very hood. The sandwich had crispy onions on it that added a nice little crunch that helped a lot. I would most definitely return. read more

Our kids are picky and we wanted to try something different. They LOVED this place and so did we. It was open, clean, and bright. All of the food was hot and fresh. We loved our server and she was so patient with all of our questions. read more

I really went back and forth whether this was a 3 or 4 star kind of place. I had the smoked chicken sandwich without the bun. The chicken was great! Smoked chicken can be hit or miss but I'm currently doing a red meat cleanse so it made sense for me. I combined the usual bbq sauce with the sweet heat which was a good combo. Both sauces were ok on their own but combined were great! The pickle that was on my chicken however was the worst pickle I've had in my life. It literally tasted rancid to me. And I love pickles. It was just abhorrent. The pickled onions were great though. I ordered the fries as a side and they came with ketchup. Apparently the ketchup is really popular but neither my husband nor I liked it. At all. My husband had the brisket sandwich. He loved the Texas toast but only liked the brisket. He thought it was dry. I tried a bite and I have to agree it was a little dry, and I even had a fattier piece. I think they had too many tables for the amount of staff they had because we weren't checked in that often. But she was really polite and helpful. The ambiance was cool. I think this would be a cool place just to come for drinks sometime! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with Mary Jane's! We shared the platter and added the brisket and sausage. We loved nearly everything. The dry rub on the ribs was so rich and complex - a must try! I also really enjoyed the sausage. The pit beans - also a banger! I could've went without the turkey and the brisket was fatty, so if that's your thing you'd like it. The Mac n cheese was an upgraded side, it was awful. I do not recommend. It had no flavor and was an additional $6 to upgrade! The bar had an awesome selection of cocktails, especially yummy variations of the smoked old fashioned. Great spot to go with a group of friends! read more
