What People Are Saying About Joey's Smokn' Barbeque
The Editor
Andrew Rosenblum

In Short – Laker Luke Walton liked the barbeque at the San Diego location of this mini-chain so much that he decided to open a franchise near his home in Manhattan Beach. The space is small and modestly furnished, consisting of a handful of indoor and outdoor tables tucked in the back of a mall. The restaurant does barbeque Southern-style: slow-cooked and glazed with sweet sauce. Traditional dishes include brisket, baby back ribs and pulled pork, but there's also Kobe-style longhorn ribs and a wagyu "ragin' Cajun" burger.
BAD BBQ, WORSE SERVICE.

BAD BBQ, WORSE SERVICE. Called in order so we would not have to stand in line. We got there and the line to order was out the door, are food was ready and we where told to stand in the order line to pay for are food. 20 minuets later we get are now cold food to take home. After being reassured that are order is complete we get home to only half are food. Cold greasy fries, dry pork, over cooked Kobe burger. Run from this place as fast as you can!
- Cons: Apathetic service
Worst BBQ I've ever had in my life!
by Shelby13185 at Citysearch
My bf and I went to this place the other day and paid $30 for a "platter" which was pretty much a tiny overcooked chicken piece and hard as rock 3 ribs ( literally I couldn't bite into them at all, couldn't even cut them with a knife) and he ordered beef ribs on the side (it ended up being 4.) I literally felt like they robbed me. It was hardly even edible. I was so upset that I had waisted my money on this fake BBQ place. LA has its rediculously overpriced restaurants that deliver poor food but this one takes the cake! DO NOT GO HERE - IT IS NOT WORTH IT!
- Pros: There are literally NONE
- Cons: Everything but especially the FOOD
Bravo to Joey & Luke but work on the mac!!

This place is in a mall so the parking there is ez! I support this place for many reasons one being our Luke Walton. Plus, he's a UNI grad and knows that Joey is at the top of his bbq game! I've eaten there a few times and the combo is great tasting, very filling and a great deal! Although, the mac & cheese needs some serious work....serious work! Luke...you're my boy and you know your mac needs an assist! Otherwise...keep up the good work and Go Lakers!!
- Pros: The bbq itself, parking
- Cons: No butter with the corn muffin and the mac & cheese
