About Smokin Joes Inc

Smokin Joes Inc is a long-running hot dog stand and catering company based in Dallas, Texas, known locally for its classic hot dogs, hamburgers, and other casual American-style foods.

This charge is likely from an in-person food purchase at their Dallas stand or from catering services booked for an event. Customers may see a one-time charge corresponding to a meal, a group order, or a catering invoice; because the payment is processed via Square, the descriptor appears as “SQ *SMOKIN JOES INC.” on card statements. In some cases, a small temporary authorization may appear before the final charge settles, especially for higher-value catering transactions.

To verify the charge, cardholders can check their email for a Square receipt, look for any recent food purchases or catered events in the Dallas area, and compare the transaction date and amount with those records. If there are questions, Smokin Joes Inc lists contact information, including an email address and phone number, on their official website’s contact page, where customers can reach out directly about billing issues, duplicate charges, or to request an itemized receipt.([smokinjoesinc.com](https://www.smokinjoesinc.com/contact-1))
