We were told this was a great place to eat, in spite of the party type appearance. We were pleasantly surprised with the food and the service. Everyone was friendly, even though they got extremely busy after we arrived. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, including families. They have another restaurant downtown and are about to open an additional restaurant in the next couple of weeks. Check it out!

What's not to like? You have to start with one of their drinks - I personally favour the Pink Iguana.

We all like the "Shark Bites", an unusual appetizer and very tasty.

If you order ribs at Smokey Joe's, you WILL have leftovers which make a great next day lunch.

This is our favourite "first night on the island" venue as it's casual and needs no reservations and just seems to fit perfectly with our transition into vacation mode.

Try the deep fried oreos for dessert. Doesn't sound terrific perhaps, but once you try them you may find yourself dangerously hooked!

The best ribs i ever had, anywhere. The drinks were so,so. Advised some of the potent drinks as having 4-5 shots. No way. Go for the ribs, they are the best, prices and menu changed somewhat from their website menu. Enjoy the ribs

We ate here twice a few weeks ago after reading a few online reviews. The ribs were awesome! You get 3 racks per order so make sure to share unless you have a place to keep the leftovers. We had the original sauce both times which was on the sweet side. There are 3 other styles or a sampler.

The atmosphere is cute...just painted benches...and the majority of the restaurant is outside. Believe it or not, we hit rain the night we were there, but met some nice people when we joined their table under cover.

The bar is busy and there is 1 large screen tv and 2 others over the bar for sports. The drinks were quite strong and reasonably priced.

This restaurant is located in the high rise hotel area directly across from Playa Linda. Good places for dessert and coffee in the area and an internet cafe around the corner. Enjoy!

Best ribs ever.just got back on Sunday and we ate here twice and loved the food. I'm told that the secret is that the ribs are boiled first and then grilled making them fall off the bone great!! You get 3 racks for dirt cheap so just share unless you are really hungry or want to take some with you...big flat screen tv for watching the game and great drinks.

Best ribs on the island. One of the few places we'll go to more than once during our stay. Large portions.We've never had a problem with the service and the waitstaff is very friendly.Just a great place to hang out with friends and have some fun.

yes, they are the best ribs in the carribean. Went back twice. tues is $20 all you can eat ribs, but a ceaser salad and the 4 slab sampler was all the two of us could eat. We shared the two dishes and the bill was under $30. On the strip in Palm Beach. Not fancy. patio like seating, friendly, fun and a great meal
