What Wayne M doesn't like about Cotton Eyed Joe's:
The food at this restaurant lacks authenticity. Seeing a sauce bottle with Tesco label on it speaks volumes. The nachos only had melted cheese and a small pot of BBQ sauce, lacking any other toppings. The quality of the food was disappointing overall, with cheap cuts of meat that did not meet butcher standards for the prices charged. Both the ribs and steaks were of poor quality, lacking the promised Smokey BBQ flavo... View all feedback. What alphabettree likes about Cotton Eyed Joe's:
Visited for a last minute anniversary meal and both had steaks. Have visited many times over the years. The steaks were excellently cooked and flavoured, as usual. The glaze they use on the steaks is delicious, as is the flavouring on the chips, and you... View all feedback.

Smokey Joe's evokes strong opinions, with visitors divided on their dining experiences. Some patrons rave about the warm service, tasty steaks, and vibrant atmosphere, highlighting the well-presented dishes and generous portions. However, others lament a decline in food quality, citing frozen appetizers, subpar meats, and unsatisfactory flavors. Service inconsistencies and cleanliness concerns in restrooms have also been noted. While some guests swear by its charm for family gatherings, others advise caution, suggesting alternate dining options. Ultimately, Smokey Joe's offers a gamble; you might enjoy a delightful meal or leave disappointed. Choose wisely.
