Food truck review.
Friendly staff, quick service, and delicious food. Brisket sandwich was flavorful and tender, the fries well-seasoned.
Very reasonable prices. Thanks for being a part of Harborfest!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 17, 2024
Caroline was busy, so it took her a few minutes to get folks seated, but man, was she ever friendly and efficient! I've never been attended so frequently or comprehensively. It was like she could read my mind and answered almost faster than I could ask.
I ordered the Smokemaster sandwich with a side of green beans, and a Smoke lager.
The beer was cold and refreshing. The sandwich was ENORMOUS! The bun, perfectly toasted. The flavor of the pulled pork and brisket was pure perfection. I couldn't put any sauce on it, it was just so delicious on its own. I decided to eat it with a fork and knife because I didn't think the thin slice of bun under the sandwich would support all that meat. A nice layer of coleslaw on top of the pulled pork really added some zing to the smoked meats. It was all I could do to finish that sandwich.
Green beans have bacon and onion, so they were great as well.
I ordered two desserts - a shot of Jefferson's Ocean, neat for immediate enjoyment and a peach cobbler to go. I asked for it without ice cream as I had an hour drive back to the hotel.
When Caroline brought out the cobbler, the chef had included a generous serving of whipped cream in a separate container, which made the trip to the hotel just fine.
I really enjoyed the wall art as I savored this meal.
Yelp once again led me to another sublime sandwich. Thank you Yelpers!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 9, 2024
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service and food were both excellent, with no complaints. The collard greens were just okay, but everything else was really good. My son declared the Three Little Pigs Pizza as the best he's ever had. This place is now a regular spot for my family, thanks to the awesome waitress, great recommendations, chill ambiance with TVs for sports, and delicious drinks. Although parking near the restaurant isn't ideal, there are available spots nearby.

Visited as a group of 6 for dinner. Atmosphere is rustic farmhouse perfectly in tune with the theme. Area was quite clean and welcoming. Two appetizers were ordered. Potato skins were perfect with brisket (I think) bbqed me and bacon. The other was nachos with chicken. Surprised that nachos were covered in lettuce and a generous layer of thousand island type dressing. Made the chips soggy and destroyed the nacho taste. Each person had a different entree with mixed reviews. Some had 50% fat in the sandwich. While another had a juicy burger. I had a shredded chicken sandwich. All meat and sauce no condiments. Side of mexican corn for $1 extra was 1/2 corn cob with all the toppings flavorful but corn was over cooked. Service is friendly and attentive. I may not visit again but would be interested in what others think.

Drove by this place the other day and knew we had to stop in. Brought a couple of people and this restaurant did not disappoint. We made a reservation as we had 7 people and right when we got in they had our table ready. It was a little busier as it was a Saturday at 6pm but Garrett made sure he took great care of us. He set our expectations up by saying "it's a little busy tonight's, so the food is taking just a little longer" which for me was the perfect thing to say. We ordered wings and pork rinds as appetizers and they were fantastic. Meaty wings and a lot of rinds. As for the entrees we almost tried every type of meat. The chicken was juicy and seasoned perfect, the ribs fell off the bone and were cooked just right. The pulled pork was my favorite and I added their house smoked bbq sauce to top it off. The food was wonderful. The restaurant was clean, organized and had a great personality. We will be coming back here again! Thank you Garrett for making our first time a great time.

Wings were dry and not seasoned,fries were limp and cold, ribs were good especially with the complimentary corn muffin. Martini was decent, my doggie loved his cheeseburger plate. Excellent out door patio tastefully decorated and great live music

Ordered beef ribs which were good and specifically asked for dry hot wings. Could have been seasoned more but I'm starting to realize every one doesn't like heavy seasonings and spice like me but per my request they were dry, too dry.
Fries were not hot nor crispy just limp and cold. That is so major 4 me I love hot crinkle cut French fries with my meal. I noticed that when restaurants try to hand cut their fries, they come out like that. Just keep it old school with frozen oritas or something.
Fur baby had cheese burger dinner he loved it.
The outside patio was great. Beautiful plants, ceiling fans and roof covered. So cozy, live music on a weeknight such a mood lifter. Thank God for a bartender that made a decent straight up Vodka martini. Gave me a cut lime instead of lemon twist but it was still citrus to rub the rim so I didn't mind, even ordered another one. Corn muffin with butter was so good with the beef ribs. I would definitely revisit this restaurant real soon especially since it's fido friendly and he behaves like a gentleman. Ps there needs to be handicap parking for us with mobility issues. I circled twice and was about to leave because I couldn't find a close parking space. - 5393388Nov 30, 2023
I enjoyed the food here at smoke. The loaded tots were very good and I liked my mozzarella sticks. They have a vast menu full of great options. This is a good place for a quick and easy bite.

I had a really good experience. The service was great. I loved the outdoor patio area. But, on to the food ...
I tried the Chopped Brisket sandwich and it really hit the spot. I would say it tasted like burnt ends that were chopped up and tossed in their BBQ sauce. Really good!
And for my side, I noticed that they had a tots appetizer, but it was not an option as a side. So I ask for it and they gave it to me. I LOVE tots!
I am looking forward to coming back and trying other items.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 402122379Mar 5, 2023
Smoke definitely took us by surprise!
My son had a soccer tournament and afterwards we made a last minute decision to visit Smoke, not really expecting much since it was a rush selection & close by.
Once we pulled in we noticed a smaller parking area than normal (there is more to the side of the restaurant).. and a huge covered outdoor patio! When we walked inside we were greeted by a friendly hostess and taken to our seat right away.
My son really wanted to sit outside but I was worried with the weather and shade he may be a little cold to enjoy his meal, but we were told they had an overhead heating system (IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Love that)! On the way outside I did notice a nice bar area that looked to have a pretty steep selection of liquor! So I'm thinking this place would be perfect for really any occasion!
Our waitress was very sweet and helpful explaining menu items that we had questions on, she remained wonderful throughout our whole dining experience, and made everything a breeze!
The menu isn't anything overly complex, it's your basic BBQ menu with interesting appetizers choices. We chose to do the BBQ deviled eggs & Tuna bites! They both were super tasty but I have to say the tuna bites take the cake !!! Also pricing wasn't terrible- it came out cheaper than a lot of similar establishments and the food was WAYYY better.
Today they had a special for $2 mimosas but we kind of wanted to try the flight mimosas to see which one we liked best! Was a great bang for your buck. Our table kind of sampled each others plates to see if we liked the other selections and I can honestly say, all of them were pretty delicious.
Overall we will certainly come back to Smoke, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here & are excited to see what other menu items offer in flavor!
Thank you smoke! :)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
