I've been here several times. Food and service have always been top notch. However, this night I sat at a table in the bar for half an hour without the many servers waking by asking if I'd been helped. I eventually got up & left. I don't know if I'll ever go back.

Been here many times, always a good experience.
Everything is good, but my go to is the brisket or tri tip with veggies.
The staff are kind and attentive.
The location is clean with indoor outdoor seating. Plenty of parking nearby.

We ordered beef ribs, baby back ribs and hot links. Sides a beans and fried okra. The beef ribs for amazing. The baby backs were a little tough and dry. The links were good. The beans and okra we're great. Forgot to mention the cornbread that we ordered that was definitely worth the 20-minute wait. It was amazing.

Never been in this town. Walked in off the street and took a seat at the bar. Bartender Ahn was super busy but took care of recommendations and serving us. Ribs and pulled pork for me with coleslaw and sweet potato fries. Superb. !!! Good selection of sauces. The Kansas City and California were best. Salad with tri-tip for my wife who never finishes. Excellent and all gone. Daughter had three sliders. Very good. Sauces took em over the top Cannot recommend highly enough

I was recommended this place by some friends. I'll stick with wood ranch. Spent $180 on 2, 2 item combos and 2 banana puddings. Meat was good, but not better than wood ranch. My friend and I both got Mac and cheese for one of our sides. He got a full cup and my cup was half full. It was pretty dry, not creamy at all. Wood ranches Lauren's Mac and cheese is better. Banana pudding is my favorite dessert. It was a bowl of pudding with 4 wafers and 4 slices of banana. Not worth the price at all. I took it home and added my own banana and wafers.

Yes, food, very good. But go for the live music in the side room. Sunday afternoon is very interesting with an open jam. Today's surprise was a sweet old lady, accommodated with a comfy chair, who absolutely rocked the house! Go granny! Go!
This is a great place to hang out Android live entertainment while you enjoy a great meal of barbecue or hamburgers or sliders... Yummy

I’ve been dying to eat here. I finally got the chance. Place is kinda small and cramp. My son was seated and I headed to the restroom. Old fashioned bathroom and a bit dirty. We sat outside and table was sticky. We started off with the frito pie. The pie came out without scallions. I brought it to our waiter’s attention. He came back with the scallions and I tossed them on top. Frito pie picture shown was without the scallions. Honestly, you can make this at home. The frito pie was the main reason we came here. Also I wanted to try the cornbread but didn't get the chance. As for the entree we ordered fries with a mushroom burger. The fries were nice, crunchy and tasty. We also ordered a wedge salad. To my dismay, there was a hair in the salad. I let the waiter know. We had to wait for our salad to come out again. Once the error was corrected, salad was decent. I was extremely disappointed that only $3.00 was knocked off the $19.00 hair salad. At least offer a 50% discount off the salad for the trouble of is waiting for scallions on the Frito pie and the disgusting hair in the salad. I gave them one star for the poor quality assurance and poor discount. I discourage people from eating here.

Hands down, the best BBQ I’ve ever tasted! The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the staff made the whole experience even better with their awesome energy. Absolute must-try! Don’t forget the peach cobbler

***The photo attached is of the fork i was given.*** I used to love this place but the prices have started getting close to the other high end spots in SCV. The food isn't bad but the burgers arent worth the nearly 30 dollars (we payed 25). All of that would have been forgivable if the servers were even a little bit attentive. We were not checked on until almost finished and when we ordered drinks they just gave us the largest size without asking. The lack of clean silverware is the most troubling. If the stuff the public sees is dirty I can only imagine the kitchen.

came here from frazier park and this is by far the best bbq we’ve had! we had the pulled pork and the brisket and omg the brisket was 11/10. also had the macaroni, baked beans, fried okra, and fries. everything was amazing!!!! so fresh and tasty and came out fast. cant remember the last time we finished our whole plates! the drink selection is great too. the dodger blondes were great and poured perfectly. it was also fun trying out all the different homemade sauces at the table. the service was outstanding as well! we came with our 1 and 3 year olds, so going out to eat can be unpredictable, but our server was a step ahead everytime. she offered some kid cups and a tablet for games. high chair had working buckles which is a huge plus. all in all, great experience for everyone in the family. thank you smokehouse, we will definitely be back again!!
