Our Communities Black Owned Gems

Smoking Jay's BBQ

 Smoking Jay's BBQ is a small, family-owned restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The food is praised for its quality, with the pork ribs being tender and the sauce being great. Customers have found the BBQ to be some of the best in Omaha, noting that everything on the menu is good and that the sandwiches are picnic perfect. The service is also commended as excellent, with the staff being friendly and attentive. The pricing is described as fair, and the restaurant is a bit out of the way from downtown Omaha, but it's worth the Uber ride.
