Sne an email to the place BEFORE I remembered I can just ask here and get a quicker reply.

Here is what they had to say:

Cheryl,

The menus are not the same in both restaurants, although they do have some items in common. Smokey Joe's is more of a BBQ restaurant with many varieties of ribs, as well as grilled fish, while Iguana Joe's has a more extensive Caribbean themed menu. We also recently opened a third restaurant called Iguana Cantina, located across from the Holiday Inn hotel which is a Mexican restaurant. Our menus can all be found online on our websites.

Thank you,

I will mention that the IquanaCantina has all you can eat fajitas (steak or chicken) on Wednesdays for 18.95 per person

I agree Iguana Joes is a "hit or miss". It has a nice atmosphere. Smokey Joe's is good and a fun place.

Had lunch at Iguana Joes late on a Sunday afternoon. Tasty food - served hot and decent service. Not sure I'd go to a dinner there - but definitely a good place for Lunch.

The food at Iguana joe's was not good. The waitress brought out the wrong food at first. Then brought my daugters, and I still had to wait for mine. The food is way better at the Tam, should of just waited to get back.

Smokey Joe's is THE place on the island to get ribs. Terrific place for Ribs and a beer (or Iced tea if you prefer). Iguana Joe's is more like US bar food, but a better place to drink.

So if you're in town, stop by IJ for drinks, if you're in Palm Beach, grab some ribs for dinner.

Smokey Joes is good for drinks...and the "fenway" bar adds to the fun.
