About Up In Smoke BBQ

Up In Smoke BBQ offers delicious barbecue with moist cornbread and tender brisket. The sampler platter features great meats, including brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. The cheesy potatoes are a standout side dish. Customers praise the outstanding pork ribs and tasty wings, often enjoying the variety of sauces available for dipping. The cornbread is moist and flavorful, especially when paired with blueberry jam, and many find it to be a highlight. The friendly owner and local roots create a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are polite and helpful. The pulled pork was tender with just the right chew, seasoned perfectly. The brisket was moist and fill the mouth to overflowing with delectable umami. The ribs were perfectly tender, seasoning was perfection, flavor overflowing. The house bbq sauce brings each to new near mind-blowing heights, staying on a balance of slightly spicy, not too sweet, full flavor yet complimenting. Prices were excellent, great food for a reasonable price. The wings are amazing, dry rub is on-point and crispy. The service was absolutely outstanding and the food was amazing, extremely tender brisket, amazing cheesy potatoes, perfectly made macaroni and cheese, and soft and fluffy cornbread.

We used Up In Smoke for our wedding last weekend 09.20.25, and we have nothing but good to say! The beans were great, the Mac n cheese is to die for, the pork was mine and my husband’s favorite. The cost blew everyone else out of the water, they left Togo boxes- brought utensils, sauces and great attitudes! Highly recommend and will continue to recommend them! Thank you Up In Smoke for catering us and treating us very well!

Brandon always provides us with excellent service, and the food is always delicious! Great variety and consistent flavor across the menu. Highly recommend!

Hands down the best bbq you’ll ever eat! Friendly staff and good beer!
