Smoke Justis

Smoke Justis takes reservations up to 12 hours in advance. Please note we do not accept reservations on Saturdays, certain game days, or same day reservations and call aheads. We take reservations up to 10 people. Any groups larger than 10 people may be sat at separate tables as close as possible on a first come first serve basis. Please note if there is a star, reservations may not be available for that date. If you have more than 10 people and make multiple reservations, your reservations will be sat at their scheduled time which may be a 15-30 minute difference. These time periods are scheduled to ensure that guests receive the best service from our staff and shortest wait times from our kitchen. Tables will be held up to 15 minutes after your reservation starts. In the event that you may be late, please call to let us know. If you are unable to make it, please cancel your reservation as soon as you know you are not coming.

This unique blend of casual and lounge space has created a vibe for everyone. Designed as a place to bring people together, Smoke Justis features smoke meat, bourbon, and craft beer in a warm and inviting setting at the foot of the Roebling Bridge.
