We had Smoke Friendly BBQ cater our wedding and they were so wonderful. Above and beyond our expectations. Everyone raved about the food, and how kind and friendly they were. They made plates up for us and took care of everything. We cannot recommend them enough!

Easily some of the best bbq I’ve had. The Carolina style Vinegar was spot on, not too saucy and plenty smoky! I had the Brunswick stew while I was there and it is exactly as my grandma used to make it! Hands down the best around! I brought home some Mac and cheese as well and it was straight out the oven fresh like my mom made me a good meal! To finish it off I had some apple cobbler that I wish I could go and get any day of the week, it was absolutely fantastic!Great portions, great service, great food, great atmosphere. Overall a 10/10
This place sucks, the Brunswick stew is canned, north carolina style bbq is basically flavorless and the mac and cheese is not impressing anyone.Had the food delivered and ordered for three people, they sent single servings of both the brunswick stew and the “ id prefer kraft brand “ mac and cheese.Do not recommend, and this is coming from someone who works in food professionally.

This place has the best BBQ in Covington for sure✨️They have the friendliest staff both serving & preparing your meals✨️It's only open Wed. to Sat. but really makes up for it in quality & cost☆?

It is an awesome place with great food and excellent service! All tucked into a little mall area. We have been there multiple times, and we are warmly greeted with smiling faces and eager to help. A must place to get some really good smoked food.

I was told this was the best BBQ restaurant around. I was in the area on Friday and stopped by and picked up some BBQ chicken, pork and ribs to feed my large family coming in for the weekend. I served them lunch on Saturday and they licked their plates clean and have requested Smoke Friendly BBQ EVERY TIME they come to visit. Thank you Wilson family for providing such an Awesome product and dinning experience. I will be back .

Stop by again today for some bbq and it was amazing as always. Ribs were on point and the Charlie sandwich was amazing. Staff is always so friendly and place is always clean. Found it about three weeks ago and now I’m there a couple times a week between lunch and dinner.
This restaurant is such a gem! Not only is the food amazing, but the customer service is even better! Each and every person working came by to thank us for coming. As I understand it, this is a family restaurant. These days it takes only the most courageous with passion to actually open a food establishment. I salute their hard work! Please frequent this place, you will not regret it!
We had Brisket Burger & pimento cheese burger. Brisket, Coleslaw and Brunswick stew were very tasty. Had banana pudding for dessert! Great service.

First time there but definitely not the last. I had the ribs and, well, it's a good thing I ordered the whole rack or I would have had to get more. They were totally awesome to say the least. Also, while we were eating, 2 different people came around to make sure we were satisfied and the food was good. What a great way to let people know they're cared about and thought of. I love this place and especially the food. Paul
The potato salad and pulled pork is great! I felt completely welcome and everyone (including people in the back) were friendly
