East Orlando new Gem

This is what East Orlando has been needing for a long time. The Customer service is excellent. The fried Ribs on Saturday will make you want them on Sunday. Chicken and Brisket are smoked to perfection. You can eat the sides as a meal by themselves. Oh, the desserts will have you there on Mondays when they are closed.

Great tasting food

Smoky Jay BBQ was amazing. Their food was to die for. Everyone during our wedding had nothing but positive comments about the food and how it tasted amazing. I would recommend Smoky Jay BBQ to anyone that needs catering in the Orlando area and I would hire them again in a heart beat. Thank you Jay for making our wedding and catering experience great.

Lifesaver !

Natina and her husband were awesome from first encounter to the very end. We had originally selected another vendor who stopped responded to us. In a panic we found Smokey Jays BBQ. I didn’t care the price or food at that point I just wanted to secure a vendor, but Natina was insistent that we have a tasting and really wanted us to make sure we were satisfied with our decision. We were welcomed by Natina and her staff at our tasting and the food was phenomenal! We had changed guest count & food selections several times throughout the process and each time Natina was understanding, reassuring and extremely professional even at 9 months pregnant !! The food was awesome ! ALL the guest loved the food and in fact a month later we are still getting guest inquiries about our caterer. Choosing Smokey Jays was the best choice we could have made and we would do it again in a heartbeat. So do yourself a favor, stop looking now and contact Natina and her staff you will NOT be disappointed.

Excellent customer service and food!

We used Smokey Jay’s for our Family Reunion, we had 100 people. The service leading up to the event was amazing! Natina was responsive, helpful and a great resource since I’m not from the area. The food was fantastic and exceeded our expectations!!! I wish they were closer to Cincinnati because I’d love to use them for more events! The entire team is awesome! And of course the Chef, Jay, is a BBQ master!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
