I first discovered Smokin' Joe's back in 2007 while I was living in Oklahoma. 11 years ago the internet and search engines weren't what the arr today but you could still find restaurant reviews online quite a bit. I was living in the area and I wanted to find some good food in the area. I searched Google and came across a travel blog mentioning Smokin' Joe's
The guy raved about the place so I had to check it out.

Hard to find
Talk about a hole in the wall. I little drove past this place every day and had no idea what it was. Back then I believe they were only open Fridays and Saturdays, possibly Thursdays. But the rest of the week it was empty but on the weekends it had cars and trucks lining the streets with people.
Love at first bite
When you walked in or even pulled up to the drive-thru window all you smelled was the aroma of smoked meat. I ordered the 3 meat meal because I wanted to try everything on the menu. The first bite into the brisket was like heaven. The pulled pork and chicken were just as incredible.
Portion size
The portions were crazy! There was enough in the 3 meat platter for 2-3 people. The sides are large and the okra is perfect. It is really hard to get good fried okra outside of Oklahoma.
