The Joint

The ribs and briskets were tender, juicy, and flavorful - mildly seasoned. Perfect texture of the meat! I don't know what they did to the pork , but it was nothing like what I had in other BBQ joints .

Got the 3 meat combo w/brisket, pulled pork & ribs . All great, but I'd go ribs , ribs , and more ribs , and I don't tend to go for ribs . My daughter also gave the mac and cheese two thumbs up.

The ribs , the pulled pork and the brisket are awesome. The Cole slaw is also amazing. The potato salad is different but very good. The only thing that isn't the best ever is the Mac and cheese .

Chef Bordelon keeps a mean kitchen! Try the best brisket in the city , and melt in your mouth Burnt Ends ! Best of all it's a short walk to Parleaux Beer Lab or the Cresent Park entrance!

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had! Ordered a bit of everything but the highlight was definitely the ribs . Drown it in their homemade BBQ sauce and you can't go wrong. Cheeky little cocktails too

Best BBQ in New Orleans. While NOLA doesn't make you think of BBQ , The Joint is working hard to change that. Located in the Marigny it is reason enough to explore that part of the city .

The best ribs I've ever had! Go for a combo of 2 meats. Pick ribs , brisket or pulled pork ! Thanks to recommendation of @humidfoodie!

Thrillist Top BBQ List: ...the juicy, perfectly textured ribs and the succulent pulled pork (excellent with the apple cider vinegar-kicked sauce), and the creamy mac & cheese

Ribs , brisket , and jalapeno sausage are all great. All the sides are good, but my favorites are the potato salad and the side salad with smoked creole tomato dressing .

This is completely the real deal. Great ribs , great beans. Coleslaw and mac&cheese. Very cheap . Genuine place. Wifi . Outside space .

Though NOLA isn't known for bbq , this place ranks up there with the best the US has to offer. The ribs , the brisket and the chicken are all slow-smoked and top tier.

Everything on the menu is delicious! Make sure to apply the vinegar sauce to the coleslaw , if you want to take it up a notch.

Loved our dinner here. All the BBQ was good but don’t miss the brisket burnt ends or the ribs ! And if the collard greens are available, get those, too!!

The ribs are the best thing here, and the baked beans are probably the best side. The sauces are vinegar-based.

Pork ribs were perfectly cooked and the baked beans are worth writing home about. Stop by here for great ribs and deserts too!!

Really cool off the tourist track place. Very good bbq , and very good value . Service was casual and friendly .

The W Special with 2 sides is indulgent perfection for $15. Split it with a friend, add two beers , and pat yourself on the back.

The brisket is very good. The pulled pork is great (mix with Mac and cheese .) The ribs are the best I've ever eaten and its not close.

The most amazing BBQ ! The ribs , beans and pecan pie are all amazing. I would eat here everyday if I could.

The closest you can get to Eastern NC-style pulled pork when you use the vinegar sauce . Mac and cheese is also great.

Zagat loves it, Saints players love it, you should love it, too. [Eater 38 Member]

All of the sauces are very very vinegary, so if you're into that, you'll love it. Me, not so much. Great patio . Great corn grits . But overall, not worth it.

The best brisket I have every had... Actually the best bbq I have every had.

People rave about the pulled pork (which warrants its praise!) but the unsung hero is the melt-in-your-mouth ribs . You may even see Kermit Ruffins stop by before a show at Vaughan's.

Brisket is the best meat. Mac n Cheese is the best side. Peanut Butter pie is the best dessert

Great food, funky place, reminds of the hippest places in San Francisco. Pulled pork and sweet tea can't be beat!

Had the roast beef sandwich , it was really good. Recommend to anyone who loves meat and BBQ

Flavorful BBQ but the brisket lacked charisma except for the bark bites. The burnt ends packed a rusty knife-type flavor and the sauces were east coast vinegar. No mustard ketchup based sauces. Meh!

If you're heading back to see Kermit at Vaughan's, don't get in line with everyone else. Just put a take-out order in at the bar and grab a drink. Kermit 's probably there having dinner himself.

I had the 1/2 rack of ribs and it was the bomb! Mac & cheese is also excellent.

Ribs and hand made lemonade (needs added ice though) are 100% delicious.

Pulled pork a little spice. Rack is good with out sause, different. BBQ sause is vinaigrette sweetish.

Ribs and potato salad are perfect

Stick with the ribs , they're tender and subtle flavorful. The potato salad is good too.

You can't go wrong with the brisket and the pork sausage ! both are superb!

Half rack and beans with a cold beer . Try the sauce in the big bottle, numms.

Potato salad holy cow. Better than mom. Of course everything else was good too.

All of the sides are amazing. And obviously the pork BBQ sandwich is too.

Tasty tasty BBQ with good beer list . Tight quarters but a homey feel inside.

Go with a group and order the entire menu. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had.

Really delicious bbq . Pulled pork is my favorite.

Ribs and burnt ends amazing
