"This was a great find. After spending most of our visit in the French Quarter enjoying Cajun food and seafood l, it was nice to get out of the area and try something else. The brisket was amazing and they have a local sauce company make their own recipe just for them. Everything is homemade. The coleslaw was fresh and not over whelming with vinegar or dressing. We enjoyed the meal and everyone was very since and chatted with us and our friends about their smoker. This was a highlight of my husband and his friend’s trip."

"WOW!!! This is insanely great bbq spot. Some of the best bbq I’ve had in my life. The burnt ends and pulled pork in particular were out of this world. Amazing service, really great people. Love the decor. Great price for the 3 of us to be completely stuffed. The pecan pie was also easily the best pecan pie I’ve ever had. Come here if you get the chance. I loved it so much had to take a tshirt to remember and brag about it back home!"

"Aunt Fama's peanut butter pie is divine...leave room for it. The tender brisket burnt ends were slathered in sweet and tangy bbq sauce...my favorite! The coleslaw, cornbread and mac and cheese were perfect with the brisket. Great draft beer and wine selections. I'll try the ribs and key lime pie on my next visit. The best BBQ in New Orleans."

"This is easily the best barbecue I have ever had in New Orleans! To make things even better, the drinks were cheap, and the cocktails delicious! We were interested in exploring areas off the beaten tourist path, and our bartender/server was kind enough to write down a list of recommendations! Definitely recommend getting the potato salad, trust me! The Bywater area is great, and The Joint is a perfect example!"

"I got the pulled pork...amazing. The Mac and cheese is to die for. Im staying near The Joint and im going back for the ribs Oh and I had my first slice ever of pecan pie. Heavenly. OK I've been here 3x already and im probably going to go Friday before I go back home. I've had the pork ribs, the beef brisket sandwich, key lime pie, and the booberry dark and stormy. Oh and Mac and cheese at each meal. Fabulous."
