Melt-in-your-mouth meats, incredible smoky flavor, and sides that are just as impressive — this spot delivers every time. The brisket is tender with the perfect bark, and the ribs fall right off the bone without losing texture. You can taste the care in every bite.
Service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere feels casual and welcoming. Portions are generous, pricing is fair, and everything comes out fresh and hot. If you’re craving true BBQ done right, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

You cannot go wrong with any of the BBQ choices available. I tried Brisket, Baby Back Ribs, with BBQ beans, coleslaw and fries. Everything had a great flavor, with the perfect blend of spices and hardwood smoke. Amazing boq sauces! 100% recommend!

I have been here probably 10 times its always been solid. My fav bbq in the city is downtown in Fulton Market. Smoque is a close second. Indoor and outdoor seating, they do a Taco special once in a while that is go to as well. Pro outfit. Easy to walk to from the blue line and or Pulaski bus stop

came here the other day didn’t get greeted properly, when i had questions about the menu no one wanted to help me, the brisket i had was super dry when i asked to swap for something else they gave me an attitude and refused. definitely will not return again
Do not come here the people are rude the food is overpriced terrible service all around take ur money somewhere else McDonald’s gives better service then these people
We ordered the ribs, pulled pork, sausage, cornbread, and Mac n Cheese. The ribs and pulled pork were smoked to perfection. The ribs were good without BBQ sauce. The Memphis BBQ sauce was good as well. The Mac n Cheese was just as amazing! The service was great as well!

Awesome bbq spot. Great menu with reasonable prices. Definitely recommend getting one of the platters. The Texas Sausage was my favorite. The Brisket and pulled pork was also great. The Mac and cheese and coleslaw were a little bland but the rest made up for it. The sauce selection is great, definitely recommend the spicy Memphis sauce. Will be coming back for more.

Wonderful sliced brisket sandwich with great Memphis style sauce.
edit: 2 years after initial review: i feel the quality is slowly beginning to go down. the last 3 times we have been here the ribs and brisket are in the dryer side. its very disappointing! it is still good! but man for the price?! i dont want dry meats
old: my husband and i love this place, meats are always so tender & the sides so tasty. we just dont necessarily like the cole slaw here, it's not that its bad it just doesnt feel like it fits as it tastes more like curtido than the coleslaw i expect when i think bbq. i always get the brisket and it never disappoints.

The food is ok but in general is overrated and overpriced actually and the brisket isn't that juicy as they said it should and the service take away the rest of my food even though i. Told him to leave the plate that still have food in it
