Smokehouses near Tempe, AZ

“This was our first visit. They were busy, but they did well with it. They kept the food moving and coming out to us.
Excellent, friendly service and amazing food! I've heard their food was delicious, but wow! It passed expectations still.

I had the Brisket with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and brisket chili. The brisket chili was So good!!!! It is a must try!

I love that it is family owned and food is homemade. Good portions too.“

“Food was awesome and the service was great“

“I had an outstanding experience at Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse. The owner, Derry, provided top-tier professional service, and the entire staff made me feel genuinely welcome. The servers were excellent—friendly, engaging, and attentive—and the music and atmosphere perfectly complemented the environment. It was a great experience overall, and I will absolutely be returning.“

“Absolutely love this spot!“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, great staff“

“I wish there was a yes but no option. Party of 5 of us came in Tuesday (4/29) night. My daughter graduated college! Super awesome! Our waitress was a nightmare. For real. I asked her what she suggested for a drink off the cocktail menu. Legit response ‘I honestly don’t even care.’ Okay. Sweet. Thanks sis. She had 2 other tables. One table she was sitting with. Laughing. Joking. Having a great time. Fine. Maybe we look unfriendly. We don’t. But okay. Order our food…..it was FANTASTIC. We all absolutely LOVED what we had. It was seriously one of the best meals I personally have had in a while. The service and attitude continued to be trash. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Tipped exactly 18% because I bartend so I get it. Left a review on the comment card we were given. 5s all around for food. 0s all around for service. Laura, if you are seeing this. I hope your day got better! Next time, eat a Snickers.“
