I can't say enough about how great the service was. Our waitress was awesome! However, the food was okay. Between all of we pretty much covered all the BBQ items. Their sauce was too sweet for my liking that they use on their ribs. I ended up adding their Habenero sauce to them, my brother in law did the same with his. Stay away from the jalapeño cheddar sausage, trust me on this. The brisket did not have any bark on it but, was juicy and fork tender, good overall. Definitely get their Mac n cheese, holy cow, best thing I had there and would go back just for that. Tri tip was cooked perfectly but, the seasoning was just off, I can't really explain it other than that. One of my nieces had a pulled pork sandwich and she loved it.

The food was fantastic! We had ribs and brisket. I highly recommend the Mac & cheese.
What I was also impressed about was our server Thea. The restaurant was very busy. She was attending to multiple tables as well as greeting people at the front. I noticed how well she handled all of her tables as she was checking in on us and everyone throughout our meal. She is definitely an asset to your restaurant!
I highly recommend Smoqued BBQ

Nice place for your overeating fantasies and cousins from out Kansas way. Good beer selection and friendly staff. Deviled eggs, fried avocado and burnt tips were standouts!

The burnt ends were a small portion for high price. They were also very dry. The brisket was extremely dry as well. The tri tip was perfect. Service was great as well.

Been here a lot in the past 3 years, however it’s been a quite few months since we’ve been. This time, the brisket was a bit dry and everything was super salty. Which ruined it for me. Way too salty… the fries, the meat… otherwise it’s really good.

Brisket was too dry for my taste, service was a bit slow, a lot of idling and waiting for box and bill.

Worst service that I have ever experienced, all the servers (except Azul) were extremely unhelpful and the restrooms did not have soap for almost the entire time that I was there on Sunday, February 1, 2026. Completely unhygienic. I would not recommend eating here. I’m unsure on how the food tastes like because by the time the soap was added in the restrooms, I had lost my appetite and my food was cold.
For the full story: I came on Sunday, February 1, 2026 early evening and after looking at the vintage and antique shops nearby, I wanted to wash my hands before eating a sandwich. My partner went into the men’s restroom and let me know that the restroom had no soap and asked if I can go into the women’s restroom to get him soap before he used the restroom. However, as I walked to the women’s restroom, a woman outside let me know that there was no soap and she had notified staff and was waiting for them to replace the soap. I decided to go back and wait a couple of minutes until the woman came back. I checked the restroom a second time and still no soap, so we notified the closest server next to us. My boyfriend followed that server and the server said she couldn’t change the soap but she would notify someone else. After another while waiting, our food had arrived. By this time, it must have been 30+ minutes without soap in the restrooms that we had noticed but who knows if it was even longer before that as there was the other lady who had notified me previously about the lack of soap. At some point, even the male server went into the restrooms and still did not change the soap dispenser. Completely unhygienic. By this point, our food had arrived and is getting cold, and we still couldn’t wash our hands properly so I got fed up and went to another staff member who was the only one able to help and actually change the soap dispensers. All the other servers need training to change the soap. To have a BBQ place where people are eating pulled pork sandwiches and not have soap in either restroom is completely ridiculous and disgusting. I’m sorry but I will not be back again and I do not recommend this place.
Cheese was chunks of Velveeta like. Mac N Cheese was hard and cold. Wagu burger on the menu was not the burger delivered to the table.

Michaela was very friendly and helpful. Extreamly knowledgeable on the menu. We loved the 3 meat plate. We split it among 3 and i feel it was enough. Touch heavy on salt for our taste but still good. Burnt ends were spoty from just right to dry. Fall apart good. Brisket...... can't get enough of it. Pulled pork..... was actually pulled not chopped like others. The pork ribs.... fell off bone. All in all, loved the flavor. Aroma off the box before opening was a huge invatation to eat.

This was our first time, and we didn't know what to expect. We loved the atmosphere. Sasha was an outstanding server, very helpful and friendly. The food was oustanding, probably the best BBQ I've had in California! I judge a BBQ restaurant by its brisket, and yours is exceptional! The only improvement suggestion I have is to provide a serving spoon with the mac-n-cheese. I kinda made a mess using a fork. We have a new favorite BBQ spot!

Got the steak quesadilla and the steak was over cooked and flavorless. Corn bread is from a grocery store package.
