Hardwood Bar & Smokery

The meat here was supposed to be really good but it was extremely dry and unpleasant.

I mean come on… look at that plate! It was so good that I went back for a second time in just a few days. It’s phenomenal BBQ, actually better than I would have expected out of San Francisco. Both times, my server was the guy that kinda favors Pete Davidson (You’ll see). Guy does a great job and is super friendly. My only critique is the potato salad. I grew up on the other side of the country so i’m not used to having potato salad with the skin still on it. To each their own, it wasn’t terrible— just odd for me.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend to anyone and I’ll definitely be back myself.

Food was so dry. I dont understand how it got good reviews. Didnt try the brisket though, Id recommend trying that over both types of ribs. Both were dry.

Almost Texas ok maybe Oklahoma BBQ vibe. Amazing brisket and proper sides, not some Costco potato salad. Great place for a group too.

Pastrami Thursdays, be there. The Reuben was so good! What's even better? $2 Montucky during happy hour on Thursday too, 4-7 pm (HH 4-7 daily).

The coleslaw is more vinegar based. The curly fries are crisp and seasoned well. We shared the Reuben and 2 small size with 2 Montucky each for $45.

Ordered via Grubhub. Great portions of rib tips and on the brisket sandwich. Only area of potential improvement is if they put a hole to vent out the steam so the fries stay crispy during the delivery journey.

In town visiting, and wanted something non touristy, delicious, with great service. We were NOT dissapointed. The food was amazing and the staff was fabulous. The whole vibe felt warm and welcoming. Definitely felt like a place where people loved coming to work every day. The restaurant itself is beautiful to compliment their food and beers.

Nice restaurant and food was good, they had run out of cornbread though which is my favorite BBQ joint side and the ribs and brisket came out lukewarm. If cornbread in stock and meat came out hot would have been 5 star.

Not having ribs available when opening is egregious, especially on Father's Day. It inexplicable to not have them ready at noon when opening is, yet ready for those dining later in the day. Start the smoking process earlier, especially when you have reservations for noon right off the bad. Disappointing.
