Smokey and the Brisket is a very vibrant place with an amazing atmosphere that is very esthetic.  I got the brisket fries and they were the 2nd best fries I've eaten in my entire life! They were sooooo good! Smokey's is definitely a great place to hang out and have a great time with friends and family.

If youre craving BBQ, this is the spot to go to! Their Beefy Rib was my favorite - super tender and had just the right amount of fattyness!

Smokey and the Brisket in #LaMesa is a great option for #bbq in the East County Area. It's large with ample indoor and covered patio seating, with a fun garage theme. I was a fan of their Brisket and Spare Ribs. I was pleased to find that the potato salad and cornbread weren't basic, both were flavorful and satisfying.

This is an amazing Texas BBQ spot with a very welcoming atmosphere and a huge building with a back room full of different games you can play with the whole family! They also have a lot of different beers on tap and we tried the pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese and mashed potato's 🙌
