Smokey Jo's,

475 West Burville Road, Crete, IL 60417

"First time here! Service was a bit slow, but the food is amazing and the area Crete IL is very safe! I will be returning in the summer!"

"Very cool place. It reminded me of a few of the BBQ smoke house restaurants I've eaten at in North Carolina. The food and atmosphere was great! I posted some pictures also."

"Had the Bacon Cheddar burger, medium rare with side of onion rings...food is always amazing, the servers are great and know their products"

"I usually don't leave online reviews but today I decided that I will. Today I placed an order at Smokey Jo's which is roughly 10 miles from my house. I ordered chicken fingers and burnt ends and selected the option to have them tossed in BBQ sauce. Shame on me for trusting that the order was correct and not checking the bag. I get home and low and behold there is no BBQ sauce. I can see if they some how forgot to cook them in the sauce. But they didn't have any BBQ sauce on the food or in the bag. So I almost let it be but then I noticed that some of the chicken fingers had been fried with no batter. I order burnt ends office and no that there is a process to smoke them accordingly but these were some of the crappies burnt ends that I have come across as of late. I called the restaurant to voice my concerns. The young lady who answered the phone says "oh we have a new cook in the kitchen, would you like to come back to pick up the BBQ sauce. Well of course I don't want to travel 20 miles for BBQ sauce, not to mentioned they should have been tossed in the sauce when being prepared. The young lady didn't offer to make any ammends so I requested to speak to a manager about it but then they put me on hold for 20 minutes. You can clearly hear someone pick up the phone every few minutes to place me back on hold. I'm usually willing to chalk it up as a bad restaurant experience but in this case I felt as if they were totally dismissive. I expect to be treated better when opting to spend my money with an establishment especially when I choose to skip over so many other options, and tipped the staff for the carryout. With that being said be sure to check your food and play at your own risk but I will not be returning."
