Discovered Smokin Jonny's on a whim while in that approximate area about 8miles away. Craven some good bbq since in the past have gotten really good bbq and soul food. Was going to try a few other places and reviews countered each other some positive some negative some great some currently gone downhill immensely. None of that for this place except sold out which was my case wanting to try the rib's unfortunately they were sold out earlier today. So made due and tried other items. This is a to go only place. On the drive back home to Orange County decided to open the bag and get a taste while still hot. OMG I couldn't stop eating until I was forced due to traffic. I was content and impressed and a bit full anyways thinking I'll savor the rest when I get home. Arrived home grab the bag happily opened it up only to find I had eaten every single thing I ordered minus 2 spoonfuls of Mac n cheese. I should have ordered more! Run down walk try this place. If I'm ever in the area and have enough money, you can bet your life savings that i will be making a stop over for more deliciousness. Funny thing the counter person and know people in common all the way back from high school. Super cool dude! Thanks Rich you rock my brother can't say thank you so much for awesome conversations and amazing food. Kudos!

One of the best BBQ spots in the area! I'm quite picky when it comes to bbq because I've spent my fair share of time bbqing and smoking meats. Jonny's is one of the only places I'll buy bbq from. Everything I've had has always came out great from the pork ribs, pulled pork, brisket, mac & cheese, bbq beans. You HAVE TO try their fried corn bread! I've only seen the owner working there and he's always super nice and helpful. Great guy to talk to about bbq stuff and if you have any questions regarding his food. The place is kind of small and not really much of a sit down kind of place. But I dont go there for that. I just want my bbq and usually just make a mess at home. Definitely worth trying out if you're craving bbq!

The BBQ was delish! I got 2 orders of rib tips and 3 pork ribs with potato salad and baked beans. I called ahead and it was ready when I got there. The rib tips were super meaty, not like some places where they're all gristle. I'll definitely be going back.

The guy was nice and helpful especially since I was a first timer! The order didn't take long either. My meal was surprising delicious. The ribs themselves are to die for and the hot link was tasty. I additional like both the regular and the spicy BBQ Sauce. The potatoe salad was just perfect and the beans weren't too bad either. I wish I took better photos before I tore it up
