Smokin' Joe's Rib Ranch - Davis

You will never starve here? I've never seen such little bites! that's half a hugging and ripping. chicken! can't complain, it's great worth money, especially if everything tastes so damn good? this place must be on man and eat?

Best ribs you will EVER eat! We travel a lot and I can?t eat ribs anywhere else, the bar is set here!! Recommend sharing as they do give generous portions. We also like the pulled pork, and smoked ribeye. French Fries and fried okra are my choice for sides. The okra is like my Grandma made it! Highly recommend, more than worth a stop if you are passing through. Worth the wait, and worth eating outside if I have to!

Such good food!! You order at the counter and get your own drink, then they bring your food to the table. I ordered the 1 meat meal with ribs, thinking it wouldn't be much and I could finish it. But I was wrong, the portions were huge! My husband got ribs and hot wings. Everything was tasty, fall off the bone ribs. We had to get to go boxes. Highly recommend!

Orderly chaos is my best description of the environment here. It's definitely not a restaurant I'd pick if left to my own devices, but I was on a group trip. I do have to give them credit though because our group was 20+ people. It started out just shy of utter chaos, but they quickly got it down to ordered chaos. I probably would've clocked out if I were one of the employees because they already had a full house. Service was pretty good considering the situation. So why the 3 stars? What happened to the other 2? Well, I sent them out to buy seasoning for my meal. I ordered pulled chicken (I eat plant based but chicken is my go to when it's not a feasible option and it wasn't in this case). The chicken was on the salvageable side of kinda dry, but it had ZERO flavor. I need to know where the seasoning went. Not anything fancy mind you, just a little bit of salt and pepper. There was NO seasoning on that chicken, and I may have prayed for the chicken because it didn't give up it's life for me to have to drown it in BBQ sauce. I'm sorry to that bird. The BBQ sauce wasn't bad, and they had great fries. The fries are pretty much why I tolerated the chaos. I will say this, they have baked potatoes, but it's not obvious at all. If you prefer that to fries, be sure to ask. Also those potatoes are huge so keep that in mind. Would I go back? No, I wouldn't. Do I think it's worth a shot if you're an actual carnivore/omnivore? I do as other members of the group seemed happy with their meals.

Brisket was extremely dry and had zero flavor. Ribs had decent flavor. Pork tenderloin was a little dry also. Pinto beans were just plain nothing fancy beans. Fried okra was good. Cobblers we?re ok. Seemed like a Mrs Smith cobbler you can buy in the grocery store. Neat location. Brisket was big disappointment.
