Excellent brisket sandwich and rib plate! The sides we had, potato salad and coleslaw were outstanding! They tasted very fresh and homemade. Also loved their spicy sauce. We’ll be back for takeout again. Wish they were open for dinner.

Kiss of Smoke is one of our favorite BBQ restaurants ever! We are regular customers because their food and service and always top notch! You literally cannot have a bad meal there. Chicken, brisket, pulled pork, and sausages are all super flavorful. Their mac and cheese, fried okra and chipotle coleslaw are excellent sides.
Suggestion: Get there before 11:30 because the line gets really long after 12:00, and they tend to run out of brisket closer to 1:00 PM.
I do wish they had a bigger seating area because we have waited for a table more than a few times, but that’s a testament to how popular they are.
Parking is free but limited to the surrounding area, mostly across the street.

Best BBQ in Tucson, but it gets busy around lunchtime. Show up early to beat the rush and to make sure you get what you want.

You can eat there but they prefer you take your delicious slow cooked meat and eat it somewhere else. We were there right before they closed so it may be different earlier. Food is cooked to perfection though, we will definitely be back.

Any Friday is my favorite! My name is Donna and I'm a ribaholic!! A slab of fridays ribs, called ahead, a side of Mac n cheese and potatoe salad or any side and I'm good to go!! Not only are the ribs always tender and juicy but consistently the same delicious rib week after week.
I love the atmosphere of kiss of smoke! No frills, good food and a great staff of hard working folks! Best dang ribs in town!!

Phenomenal. The brisket is melt in your mouth tender! The mac & cheese and coleslaw were delicious! My husband and I drove by here and decided to stop on a whim. This is a hidden gem and our food was 10/10. We will be back!
