Founded by Justin (the "J" in Smokey J's) and his family, Smokey J’s was born from a passion for low and slow barbecue and a love of sharing great food with good people.

After discovering traditional American barbecue, Justin saw an opportunity to bring the same authentic, slow-smoked flavours to the Territory. So, in 2016, the family took a leap of faith, invested in a smoker and Smokey J’s was born.

Today, Smokey J’s is Darwin’s only dedicated Texas-style smokehouse, serving up slow-smoked meats, generous portions and a good dose of Southern hospitality in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
