WOW... what a wonderful slice of New Orleans heaven tucked away in little Ol' Launnie.
We loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in the door. We were seated straight away and the place was packed full. All the other customers were in high spirits which instantly made it warmer.
Our food came to us very quickly and was delicious, the waiter and waitress were excellent at explaining our meals and telling us what sauces went best with what.
We had stuffed mushrooms and crocodile tails for an entree. And gumbo and BBQ ribs for our main. Our meals where absolutely delicious. My partner and I decided we can't eat anywhere else. For those that complain about portion size, I don't understand. You won't leave this place hungry.... I promise. Good, hearty, real food.
Go check it out ya'll.
Went here many years ago and was fantastic then it appeared to go downhill but went back last night and was even better then it ever was I had the dry ribs crocodile and cinimon banana for dessertš Itās My favourite place to eat out now canāt wait to go back. Full credit to the staff and as weād for bringing it backup to top class š¤š¤
A must try for food hunters!
The brisket was perfectly BBQed, fork tender, succulent and flavorful.
The Jambalaya had good texture, soft but not mushy and the freaking hot sauce that John gave us that made it an excellent dish.
Thanks John and his team for serving us such a sumptuous meal and making the already cozy place so welcoming.
Was recommended by mates to visit. Gonna pass on the recommendations. Staff are great and the food is fantastic! Can't wait to visit again.
Had a great date night at smoky Joes last night. We booked our table and when we arrived the wait staff were great. We had a table in the front room. The Negra was a perfect start to our meal. First time we had this beer. We had the Barramundi fish cakes for entree which was the perfect start before being served the special, Jambalaya and the Brisket which we shared. I love having a meal once a month here. Smoky Joes is such a small cosy restaurant with a warm atmosphere and food that you won't be disappointed with. Great value for money. Cheers. We will be a back.
Fantastic food from a great little restaurant. Definite hidden gem in Launceston.
Service was good, as is the range of drink options. Menu is comprehensive and there's something for everyone there. We both had the brisket and did not regret it. Packed with flavour and accompanied well on the plate, we left the place merry, content and full. Would come again to spend some more time exploring the menu next time I'm back.
Food was amazing! Great customer service and atmosphere. We went with our 2 boys aged 6 and 8, they enyoyed the popcorn chicken and fries whilst the grown ups had the Boston butt and briskett. Tender, melt in your mouth and with sides that perfectly balanced each dish followed by the peach cobbler. To top it off a delicious and very reasonably price French sparkling wine. Highly recommend!
Gotta give credit where credit is due. Awesome portion sizes for the price you pay, but I'm a quality over quantity guy and the quality was awesome. 4 of us, 3 ribs, a half chicken and a jambalaya. The wife dinner (jambalaya) was the best thing she ate in all if Tasmania in the 10 days we were here. My ribs we're tender as, flavoursome and hearty. A great experience and highly recommended.
