BBQ joint

Smoked meat eatery

A BBQ joint is a casual restaurant specializing in barbecued meats—ribs, brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken.

The term joint suggests informality: paper plates, plastic trays, meat sold by the pound.

BBQ joints often have regional character, serving Texas-style brisket or Carolina pulled pork with local sauce traditions.
