About this business

Well off the beaten path, The Joint serves up what is often argued as the best barbecue in the Crescent City. Passersby may miss this tiny barbecue café at first glance, but the fragrant smell of the smoking meat keeps the restaurant going unnoticed. The Joint menu features all of the barbecue basics including brisket, pulled pork, chicken and ribs. Side options include cole slaw, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans. Finish a meal with a slice of pecan, key lime, or peanut butter pie. - Bethany Culp

Simply Amazing. Excellent ribs, burnt ends and sausage. 10 minutes away from downtown but very cool drive to get to the joint. Uber took 25 minutes to pick us back up.

I am a self proclaimed BBQ expert and critic, I have been cooking BBQ for years, private parties and public events, I'm from Chesapeake, Virginia, this is my second trip to The Joint, first one was at the old location and the food is still great, best BBQ I have ever had, I tell all my friends that are going to New Orleans to make sure you visit The Joint, I tell them Burbon Street is ok but The Joint is the greatest BBQ in the world !!
