About
Barbecue RestaurantBarCatererEvent VenueRestaurant
WE VALIDATE PARKING AT THE HORTON PLAZA GARAGE ($12). Founded in 2016, Smokin J's BBQ brings authentic, slow-smoked barbecue and house-made sides to the Gaslamp Quarter. As a premier barbecue restaurant in San Diego, we serve lunch and dinner featuring brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, mac and cheese, collard greens, and cornbread. Wash it down with a selection from our 18-tap system pouring local drafts, cider, or craft cocktails featuring whiskey and mezcal. Great food, bold flavor, and a true passion for BBQ, served daily with pride.
