Smokey Jo's - Crete

We've passed by this restaurant many times and finally decided to stop in and check it out. Initially, the bartender was very helpful and sweet, even crafting special drinks inspired by the previous holiday. When our waitress arrived to take our order, I inquired about the soup of the day. She didn’t know but offered to find out for me. Unfortunately, she never returned with that information. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, and they were absolutely amazing. As we waited for our waitress to come back, we noticed she was socializing with some other staff instead. I eventually went back to the bar to order another round of drinks. Overall, our food was good, the drinks were great, and the bartender was wonderful. However, the service from our waitress left something to be desired. The place seems like it offers some fun entertainment, and we will definitely give it another try—next time, we'll sit at the bar again.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to making my mom's 80th birthday celebration truly special! The service was fantastic, the food delicious, and everyone was incredibly helpful and accommodating. I'd like to give a special shoutout to the staff — the meatballs were absolutely amazing! A heartfelt thank you to Cindy, the manager, for her exceptional assistance and efficient planning ideas for the party. We highly recommend Smoky Jo's for both the food and outstanding service!

My friends and I visited this restaurant for the first time after a long night shift, and I can honestly say it was an incredibly welcoming experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt completely at ease. Throughout our meal, a gentleman attended to us with genuine concern for our comfort and satisfaction. I place a high value on service, and in this case, it absolutely deserves recognition. Three cheers for the team! Keep up the great work! I will definitely be back!

Enjoyed breakfast with a friend on the patio on a beautiful morning recently. The food came out quickly and was very good. There aren't a lot of options on the breakfast menu (dieters may find their choices limited to nil) but they seem to do what they dovery well. The service was professional, prompt and friendly.

I placed an order for three slabs of baby back ribs to go. Two slabs of ribs were fine but the third slab of ribs was burnt to a crisp black and charred. Totally un edible. I contacted Cory the manager and she told me that I had to bring the food in so theycan inspect it and refuse to offer me any compensation for the uneditable ribs. She said that this was company policy. I can?tbelieve a restaurant would make you bring in bad food in order to get compensation. Terrible customer service. Stay away fromthis place. Do not order any takeout food.
