和友人为肥鸡啤酒而来，大概是平日的关系，餐厅不是太多人。我们二人获安排坐4人枱，冷气不太冻，坐得舒适，灯光带黄，装修带点raw的工业风感觉。啤哂先来，Yeastie Boy Golden Perch Golder Ale ($71)倒出来好香，是honey的味道，也带有阵果香，入口甘香，有层次。朋友说after taste带honey 甜味。肥鸡IPA ($68)，比Golden Ale苦多了，入口带香草味，层次上比不上Golden Ale。接著是，1) Granny's Southern Chopped Salad ($98)- 可以不吃，味道带胶味。2) Potato Wedges ($48)- 强烈推介，感觉就是避风塘薯角，下了大量炸香蒜粒调味。3) Cheese Burger ($128)- 面包香甜松软， 里面的牛肉恰到好处，没有over cooked 或under cooked，切一半，可见牛肉相当湿润，并带微粉红。唯一不足是芝士太轻手，话明是Cheese burger，芝士只得薄薄一块，直头一口咬下去，完全感觉不到有芝士味，只有牛肉味。

走了一大段路，专程来到伊利近街，只是为了一尝Smokey Joe's。午市时间人不算多，小店充满美式风格。小小的吧枱，还有播放美式足球比赛的两部电视，相信放工时间颇受欢迎。星期2的晚市主菜加＄1有多一个主菜，相当抵食。午市套餐可选1 Main＋1/2 Sides，主菜有4款不同的汉堡包，Side则有沙律，薯角等等。除了套餐，当然不可不点Smokey Joe's最著名的Baby back ribs。于是，一行4人点了两个套餐和一份肋骨。Iced tea店员替我们把两杯冰茶放成4杯，非常热心。果然是Smokey，连柠檬也烤过。Baby back ribs小份只有4条，刚好够分。没有想像中香，胜在做到骨肉分离的效果，肉质不嚡，但也不够腍。酱汁味道浓郁，稠稠的，涂满肋骨，几入味。Cheese burger店员应我们要求把它分成4份。汉堡十分厚，牛肉味几香，肉质松嫩。可是，整体偏干，自己加上大量spicy hot sauce增加湿润度，带辣的汁几惹味。Pulled pork sandwichSandwich和burger都是一样。猪肉几入味，但偏嚡，加上很干，口感普通。Mac n cheese邪恶的mac n cheese单是卖相已很吸引。通粉弹牙，大量的芝士填满通粉，啖啖香浓。芝士口感轻盈，一点都不溜。Potato wedges (左），Chopped salad（右）薯角加上大量的炸蒜蓉，有点避风塘的感觉。外层炸得香脆，内里薯味甚香，很好吃。沙律有牛油果粒，黑橄㰖，鸡肉等等，口感和味道丰富，很好吃。不错的午餐。虽然烧肉才是主打，但Side比main更出色。Burger实在太干，影响了味道的发挥。小店十分有气氛，店员的服务也值得一赞。

老土讲一句，遇上对的人，情人节每天都过。每逢有什么节日纪念日，我们都会为大家预备一些小心意，不是在意那礼物的价值，而是想提醒大家能拥有著彼此是多么的幸运。不想另一半花费太多，事先已讲明不要去一些要吃情人节套餐的餐厅，免得被人㓥得一颈血，就随便在苏豪找间店作为落脚点，可惜结果不甚满意。沿著中环扶手电梯一直上，差不多上到坚道前便抵达；由于餐牌选择不多，和男友很快便能决定点些什么，亦见是喜庆日子要大吃特吃！Granny's Salad $98 (L)不知道大和小的份量有多大差别，二人分吃一份大的也不觉为难。黑醋酱汁略嫌酸了一点，但胜在材料新鲜，是我们最快清碟的一道。Fried Chicken Wings $58一客五只的鸡翼有原味、辣味和菠萝味三款选择，选了外面少见的菠萝味尝尝。鸡翼尚算大只，嗅起上来有点香甜的味道，一层薄薄的酱汁轻封著表面，吃下居然有吃咸味凤梨酥／苹果批的感觉，两者味道算不上很融合但亦不会古怪，至后段辣味才涌现，是不错的送酒小吃。Baby Back Ribs $138 (L)一份大的有七支骨，每一支骨都有大半只手掌般长，比我想像中多。猪仔骨是有一种独特的烟熏味道，但肉质不够鲜嫩，好几件吃下都干干柴柴的，不讨喜。Chicken Sandwich $98 (L)男友说其大份也只像平日普通的份量而已，心虽怀疑，但还是听他的意见一人来一客的三文治。见它上桌时心里已觉中伏：不是认为它的份量惊人，若只吃一份三文治我是轻松处理有余，而是我们还外点了其他食物共享啊，现在要我吃完一大个包绝对会太撑，自问食量正常的你可不要和我犯上同一个错误哈哈。话说回来，三文治就这样没花巧的用两片面包夹著一把鸡肉，鸡胸肉吃起来也带点烟熏过的味道，再用少许沙律酱和黑椒调味，味道不错但多吃两口便觉寡和沈闷；面包略略烘过，不是软熟那种口感但又没有欧式的烟韧，大概是在两者之间，多吃好饱肚。我本想将它们夹起来同吃，但试过一口后不得不放弃，因为真的太太太干了！从小妈妈便教导我和哥「好一餐，唔好又一餐」，自问吃东西不是太挑剔，但这儿的食物真的让人失望，加上使用塑胶餐具甚不环保，感觉像吃顿快餐但连加一后要$540，绝对不值。

Was interested in some pulled pork tonight, so decided to give Smokey joe a try.It's a Tue night so we got the "fat Tue" promotion - with $250 you got 2 sandwiches (pork/beef/chicken) plus 2 draft beer. We picked pulled pork and pulled beef brisket.The 2 sandwiches were served real quick. Time to be a carnivore.At first sight, I saw a huge pile of meat on a bun. It looked good.Things go downhill however upon the first bite. The meat was extremely dry. Yes, both the beef brisket and the pork. It was so dry so that it is almost impossible for one to chew it up or swallow it down without adding bunch of sauce beside the table.Just as nightmare won't end easily, it takes us really a while to finish these 2 huge piles of meat. That is especially so given that the piles consist of nothing but meat. There is not even a layer of veggie neutralizing and balancing the whole sandwich, except a "few pieces" of coleslaw hiding within only the beef sandwich. (The pork one really contains only pork.) Maybe that is the stragety of the owner in forcing you to order the sides...We thus ordered also a potato salad with bacon ($48). However, eating some mediocre potato salad topped with dried bacon certainly cannot make up for our discontent stemming from the sandwiches.Nowadays, it is so easy to operate a shop. Bake a bun, pour a pile of "poor" meat on to it, put down a bottle of sauce on the table and then you can charge a hundred dollars. Blacklisted.

My sister is really into pulled pork, so when I discovered Smokey Joe's when I was in the area the other day, I knew I'd have to go with her! I went with my sister before she had to work and we brought along our grandma who loves ribs! The setting was quite open. It had a door, but you didn't need a door to get in? Haha.. There were a few TVs showing sports, which made it feel like a chill place. The Menu was on the wall, which was easy to see. Service was good. The staff was polite and noticed our needs. She offered us water and dishes before we even asked. Lunch sets are always such a better deal. Several sandwiches were available for $88 with 1 side plus a drink or $108 for 2 and a drink! WOW! Of course, we went for 2 sides. 1. Potato Wedges with Garlic and Parmesan- This was my favourite dish out of everything that day! The potato wedges were crispy and the crunchy garlic and parmesan made them amazing! I could eat this every day!2. The Coleslaw was refreshing to eat. The dressing was light, but could have been a tad stronger. Nonetheless, it was great with this very hearty and heavy meal. 3. The Beef Brisket Sandwich ($78) looked really good, and good in a way that it wasn't loaded in BBQ sauce, and I could taste the beef, but bad because it was very dry. Even the sauces on the table couldn't save it. 4. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was similar to the beef sandwich. The meat in this was more tender, but was also a bit dry. It had more sauce than the pork, which made this sandwich a bit better than the beef sandwich. 5. The Baby Back Ribs ($138) was the best meat dish out of the 3. We got the Large order and it came with 6 pieces! The meat fell right off the bone, and was very tender and juicy. The BBQ sauce was rich and made them fingerlicking good! I would go back for these!6. The Iced Tea that came with the set was surprisingly good! I noticed that the lemons were kinda grilled. I wonder if that was what made the iced tea so special! It killed the thirst that was caused by the rich BBQ sauce. Final Verdict:The price was not bad for this type of food in HK, so I'd go back for certain things for sure.
