Jonny's Smoke House

Rui's experience

Johnny Smoked House is a very typical American-style restaurant. Burgers, pork ribs, barbecue sauce, smoked meats. That whole thing. I have nothing against American food. I actually like it. But traditionally, American barbecue tends to be sweet, and that’s where this place completely loses me. Here, everything tasted the same to me. Sweet, sweet, sweet. Pork chops, sweet. Ribs, sweet. Everything covered in sugar-heavy sauce. It felt exaggerated. To the point where, by the end of the meal, I honestly felt sick from all the sweetness. Visually, the food looks amazing. If you look at photos, it looks fantastic. Big portions, glossy sauces, very Instagram-friendly. But for me, the taste just didn’t match the looks. Service didn’t help either. It wasn’t good at all. That said, this is a very personal thing. If you like sweet barbecue, go for it. Seriously. Knock yourself out. It’s just not for me.
