About

On WeddingWire since 2024

Located in San Deigo, California, Smokin J's BBQ is a wedding catering company.

Smokin J's BBQ offers slow-smoked bbq and fresh baked sides that will tantalize your tastebuds and leave smiles on your guests' faces. Founded in 2016, Smokin J's BBQ is a family-owned establishment that has quickly become the go-to bbq spot in San Diego, serving brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, hot links, and housemade sides and cornbread. Prior to the big day, our team will work closely with you to put together a custom menu to fit your tastes, and on your wedding day we bring our slow-smoked aesthetic to the party. We bring out one of our six-foot barrel smokers to finish smoking on-site, serving everything hot and fresh straight out of the smoker. Our pitmasters can put together a beautiful full-service buffet line, complete with a carving station for the brisket, or they can build mouth watering platters that can be served familiy-style at the table.

The BEST BBQ in San Diego

Smokin J's catered my wedding about 6 months ago, and I couldn't have asked for a better company for my special day! They showed up a little early and set up quickly. Make sure to try their brisket - it's a showstopper! Thank you, Smokin J's!

Downtown Engagement Party

We hosted our Engagement Party at the Downtown San Diego Smokin J's BBQ location and it was absolutely perfect! Josh and the team are so friendly, caring, and amazing to work with, they made it so easy and fun. We had about 40+ people so we fit easily in this venue to one side indoors. Everyone loved the food and the atmosphere. The venue has high ceilings and a really open space vibe, which is great for parties.

The bar has a great selection of beers and something for just about everyone, including great craft sodas!

Josh went above and beyond to make our event perfect and memorable, and we got so much fantastic feedback from our guests about how great the BBQ was and how much of a great time they had.

I would definitely recommend hosting any type of wedding or pre-wedding events at this location or working with them for catering. I wish we had photos, but everyone was having too much of a good time!
