Smokey's BBQ

I'm visiting the city of Savannah and I hadn't had anything to eat since 530am today and it's now 3pm. The work I was doing required a full stomach, rest and muscles. I was on empty, literally.

I typed in "food" in Google maps and this place was the closest. I hadn't had BBQ in a while. My wife and I have a rule if the BBQ spot doesn't have sausage, we don't stop. Smokey's has sausage and I ordered it.

I must say the lady behind the counter was a joy to order with as she had gospel music in the background. I ordered number 19, and my 2 meats were sausage and chopped bone-in chicken, with macaroni and baked beans, sweet tea and cornbread. Grand total for me was $22 and it was worth every penny.

Good food in Savannah is hard to find. It's not the tourist spots you should visit. It's the small places that might not deliver and seem to be in their customer friendly location for a long time.

I'll be back with my family and tonight, I'm sharing my leftovers with my sister and we probably won't finish them all. You get plenty of food.

This is a pulled pork BBQ Sandwich worth talking about. I had it with the "hot bbq sauce ". It was perfection. The staff was overly nice and helpful. The place is not where you would go for fine dining. It is more what you would expect from dives and diners. Highly recommended for the bbq enthusiasts.

I had heard they was good, had to try it for myself, and I must say it was delicious. Customer service was on point. And the lemonade 🍋 was good sweet. Definitely will return!!

When you come here to eat be very hungry. They make a plate like your mother makes on Sunday. If you go home hungry it not because they don’t give enough food it’s because you didn’t eat it all and decided to take it home and eat it later. This is the best bbq plate you can get in the area. It’s the best value for the price and they staff is awesome.

That's how a plate of smoked brisket should look! The taste matches the looks. Very delicious smokey flavor, very moist, and well seasoned. I'll definitely return.

Been here several times when i come into town. Great food and very friendly staff. Cant wait to come back again

Smokey's BBQ, in the G-City (Garden City) just up the river from Downtown Savannah GA, is an old school rib joint with more than just slabs of smoked ribs. Chicken, Pork butts, beef brisket and of course ribs are all on the smoker/menu. Sandwiches or plates can be had with a good variety of sides, all the usuals like Brunswick stew, slaw, or collards, as well as Savannah favorites like red rice. Daily rotation of desserts. The plate of smoked chicken they served with two sides was huge! The ladys in the back are sweet natured and glad to see regulars come back for more. You can see Smokey's from Hwy 21 but you've got to drive round the corner to find the lot. Worth it. - apparently the National Park Service enjoys a good sense of irony and ribs.

If you love BBQ this is definitely a place you won't want to miss out. Went today for the first time and all the meats were delicious. The mix sauce is sooo good and baked beans are amazing!!!

Great folks and great food to match! Love it. Ribs were to die for!

Place is nicely presented and food came quick and fresh , loved the ribs and the mild sauce I choose perfect flavor and my side choice was cole slaw and Mac n cheese when I tell u this was the best barbecue place I have been to as a black African American. MS tammy was a great server loved it will be back all the way from Jacksonville Florida . And me and my family had a party of 14 no wait good food

I really wish I would’ve took pictures before hand because this food was soo good. I don’t usually do reviews but this bout the best bbq sauce I tried in a while- if not ever💪🏾 Macaroni Nd cheese could’ve been more cheesy or not store brought. The bread... 😋

Ate there for the first time today great food and great service I will definitely be back

We were on the road going through Georgia, Hungry for some barbecue, so we did a search of barbecue near me. The original place we ended up at was closed, Only open a few days a week. So we kept on driving when my husband, Out of the corner of his eyes, Saw the sign for smokey's barbecue and we pulled over. It was only a small trailer on a corner lot next to a lime tree. It was a sweltering hot humid day in the 90's. Some people were standing outside next to the trailer waiting to order. Others were jumping in and out of their air-conditioned cars waiting for their number to be called.The wait was very long hence the service score of 3. My husband and I took turns waiting in the heat to order. When it was our turn I ended up ordering. We didn't have Rib money since we were traveling on a budget and this was our splurge for the day. We came hungry and ready to eat. Our hearts were set on pulled pork. To my dismay they were out. Beef brisket was a 30 minute wait but they had chicken ready to go. Chicken "sandwich" it was. Once we received our order, it was package in a Styrofoam box. There was two pieces of bread in my box and my husband's. I had what looked like several thighs chopped into 3rds bones and all. My husband had legs. Clearly it wasn't a conventional "sandwich" but a box of bbq chicken oddly cut into pieces with bones with some bread thrown in. Once we received our order we inhaled it. The chicken was moist and tender. It was messy with bbq sauce and so delicious. Each portion was 8$ I thanked the chef. My only complaint is I didn't get to try the pulled pork or the "Pile of Ribs"

I love this place and have for YEARS. I have been coming here for 15 years. I love the whole family. I recently had oral surgery and Tay knew I couldn’t eat whole solids foods yet. She took my favorite dinner and chopped it up for me in small fine pieces so I can eat it. Even chopped up the needs for me. My 1st real meal since my surgery. I’m so grateful for these ppl. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants good bbq and good customer service. They are always friendly. During the summer Smokey’s provided cool refreshing punch every Friday at my center because the kids and I loved it. (Especially me). I will be coming here for another 15 years and now that I know they will chop up my food for me I will be coming here longer than that. Lol

The food here is so delicious, I got ribs, chicken combo,with bake beans potatoe salad and cornbread, finger licking good to the last drop. Go get you some

The hot sauce has the right amount of heat. Had the pulled pork and it was good. The sweet tea may give you diabetes with how sweet it is but it was still good.

First off, the tea sucks. And, the place is Savannah fire hot. I would give this place five stars even if I had to wait an hour to get collards alone. There is no wait. The collards, the mac and cheese, and the meats are the best. Service isn’t bad either… just the tea. The tea is watered down but the collards are not.

This is a really good place to eat. I've been many times and not once have I been disappointed. The folks there are good people very nice, friendly and professional. Some of the best BBQ in Savannah. If you've never been do yourself a favor and give them a try, you'll be glad you did. I always look forward to a lunch at Smokey's BBQ.

I ordered carry-out, ribs and beef, and am in heaven. The beef is so tender and the ribs are succulent and meaty. Even the dogs are happy with their bag of bones. The portions are very generous and my only regret is that I did not try this place sooner. Keep up the good food!

I discovered this gem back in the 90s when I lived in the area. Happy to say 20+ years on, the food and love that goes into it still shows. Awesome chopped Smokey Pork sandwich (I prefer the hot sauce sweet and spicy) and the Brunswick stew is great. I had the peach cobbler for the first time and it was delicious... keep doing what yer doing Smokey’s, I’m not waiting 20 years before I come back! 💗
