- MMaxwellSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 17, 2024Smokin' J's BBQ is a gem unbeknownst to us. My wife and I were attending an event at the Balboa Theater and were looking to make a reservation close to the venue. Smokin' J's is literally across the street...it couldn't be more convenient. Everything was excellent, the service was outstanding, the food was delicious with very ample portions. Even though we live in Encinitas, we will go back downtown to dine at Smokin' J's again. To us, it was a hidden gem.More infoSmokin J's BBQ - GaslampPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• Downtown•4.4
