“I have never enjoyed ribs until we discovered Smokems. Now I can’t get enough of them. These are best dry ribs anywhere, and I’m so grateful they’re conveniently located on my way home from work. 🤗 I make a meal of the ribs. Literally, no side dishes, no bread, nothing else.“

“The Shomburg rd location is fantastic. Wide variety on the menu, great food and [to my great surprise] incredible wings! Yall......don't sleep on their wings they are some of the best in town in my opinion. Highly recommend.“

“We stopped by traveling and this was amazing. Very authentic and original barbeque and we know barbeque. First this place is the real deal, with the smokers going outback. The portions are huge, but the flavor is out of this world. Not a copy cat taste. This is genuine and somebody here really knows how to cook! My only complaint is there isnt one in my hometown. We had pork, collard greens, Mac and cheese pound cake. Everything was amazing. Picture was after I had already ate half my pork 😄😍😋“

“I would recommend the food but the customer service from one of the workers serving the food could be better, a dark skin heavy set older woman, older then me anyway…. I walked out today because I can’t stand terrible customer service. I own my business and would fire any worker who treated my customers poorly family or not. She literally had the lady in front of me scared to ask questions about her own food. I couldn’t deal with the attitude and walked out. The lady asked nicely how much for an extra piece of meat and when we heard the price we were shocked so we made a lil face. She was like it is what it is. OF COURSE it is but your attitude is not where it’s at. These folks got some good A** food don’t get me wrong I was so ready my mouth was watering but that whole thing threw me off. Do better and if you don’t like your job quit. I understand you are only one person. But it was only 2 of us in there ordering. No reason your lip should have been poked out as long as the Nile River. Have a great day“

“I had an incredible experience here and it is easily some of the best barbecue I’ve had in a long time. The meat was tender and had a deep, smoky flavor that worked perfectly with their signature mustard-based sauce, which has just the right amount of tang and spice. The portions were huge, and the sides especially the stew tasted exactly like traditional, home-cooked comfort food. The atmosphere is very casual and no-frills, which is exactly what you want from an authentic pit-cooked spot, and the service was fast and friendly from start to finish. It is clear they take a lot of pride in their recipes, and it definitely shows in every bite. I’ll be craving this until the next time I can make it back!“
