Smokey Joe’s Island Grill

For over three decades, Smokey Joe’s Island Grill has been the epicenter of BBQ in Palm Beach. Famous for its award-winning baby back ribs, this lively, open-air spot perfectly captures the “One Happy Island” spirit with its bright Caribbean colors and rustic beach-bar charm. It’s the kind of place where getting your hands messy is part of the fun, and the atmosphere is always celebratory.

While the ribs—slow-smoked and slathered in secret sauces—are the undisputed star of the show, the menu offers a wide range of island favorites. From the Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Fresh Catch-of-the-Day to their famous Joe’s Burgers and Stuffed Baked Potatoes, there’s something for every appetite. Don’t forget to pair your meal with a “Joe’s Pink Lemonade” or a cold Balashi beer. Located right on the main strip, it’s a perfect spot for people-watching while you enjoy a hearty, finger-licking feast.
