Holy Smokes BBQ And Catering

Holy Smokes is amazing!! I’m originally from TX and can honestly say, this is the best brisket I have ever had! I’m so glad to know I can get it within 45 minutes of where I live now. Oh, and the sides are amazing, too!

The service was excellent! We didn’t wait 5 minutes and our meal was ready!! Y’all the brisket was awesome and the bbq!! 10/10 would recommend!!!

Edited fall 2024 to add 5th star. Since my original review it seems service adjustments have been made and I wanted my rating to reflect that. It’s always appreciated when business owners respond to feedback.

I’ve been in here 3 times and have ordered food twice.
The food is excellent. The brisket, ribs and chili are especially delicious and most likely the best in the area.
As far as service, it’s been good—for the most part.
The first and most recent time in here Mr Eric and the lady with the auburn hair were working, their customer service is excellent.
Unfortunately, the second time I was here it seemed nobody with any customer service experience was on the clock. 4 people were in the lobby area—1 girl sweeping, a guy with facial hair AT the register, and a girl and guy staring through the kitchen window. Not a single one of them spoke when I walked up to the counter…they guy at the register didn’t even look at me and decided something in the back of the restaurant was more important than simply saying “someone will be with you” or “hello”.
I stood there for a good minute while the 2 people in the window continued to look at me without a word, the girl casually drinking her fountain beverage.
It was clear they didn’t want my business so I walked out.

I only came back on the off chance that somebody with some type of service acumen would be here, thankfully they were which is why I still rated 4 stars.

It would’ve been 5 had it not been for the blatant rudeness experienced the second time.

I'm a sales rep so I have to cater a lot of food... Needless to say I placed a relatively large order for 11:30 am and it was ready right on time. There were no issues and I got plenty of food. Always nice ordering and having 0 issues! Thank you team!

Overall 5 star establishment.

Took the crew for lunch and everyone wanted the smash burger after seeing the picture on the front window.

The burger tasted great. It was a little smaller than expected, but we all still left full. We ordered the smash burger special. It only came with one burger patty, not like pictured on the window. Though that was likely something else and I didn't inquire. I wasn't a big fan of most of the sauces but I am a bit picky with BBQ sauce and don't care for most sweet ones. The Carolina mustard was the best of what I tried.

The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Would definitely return again.

Although I typically do not prefer barbecue cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, chosen by my husband. The pulled pork sandwich was exceptionally flavorful, complemented perfectly by the crispy and well-seasoned onion rings. This experience exceeded my expectations and demonstrated the restaurant's ability to deliver high-quality barbecue dishes.
