A nice interesting little BBQ shack going on almost one year. Located on the site of an old drive-in theater, James (the 'J' in Smoking J) has turned the drive- in's snack bar into a BBQ shack with the smoker located just off to the side. I saw the place off by itself just by chance or maybe because everything minus the smoker is painted violet. I enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich special for $2.99. James will make it like you like it. I had mine with slaw, pickle, and onion. Right now Smoking J is carry out only. And I do mean carry out: there are no picnic tables or a place to eat other than in your car or at the ordering counter. Making use of the old drive-in's out buildings J's does offer restrooms though. Smoking J caters, but James says he limits the catering selection to his menu. Still, I recommend you ask anyway with a special request. For example, from my posted pic the menu reads only three sides: collards, beans, and potato salad, but I know (since I had it) he also offers slaw. My hope is James can figure out how to rustle up a few picnic tables and maybe a sign out on the road. You know you're keeping your dollars local with Smoking J. I'm going ahead with 3 stars: a good sandwich for $2.99, the pecan wood fired smoker is knocking it out, and the place offers an interesting experience. I'll definitely be back. read more
