“We’ve dined here a number of times over the years, and it’s always managed to deliver that satisfying, slow-smoked comfort that keeps regulars coming back. But this latest visit stood out—worthy of a fresh review and renewed praise. Service, which in past visits could occasionally feel uneven, hit all the right notes this time. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, moving with a quiet confidence that set the tone for the evening. It’s a small but important improvement that elevated the experience considerably. As for the food—the heart of any smokehouse—the kitchen was clearly in fine form. I opted for both the ribs and smoked turkey, and each showcased why this spot has earned its loyal following. The ribs arrived perfectly glazed, with that balance of bark and tenderness that only comes from skill and patience. The smoked turkey, too often an afterthought at lesser establishments, was moist, flavorful, and subtly infused with smoke—no small feat. Cocktails rounded out the evening, each one thoughtfully mixed and balanced, adding a polished touch to the rustic fare. If there’s one shortcoming, it’s the setting. The restaurant occupies a strip mall space that, while perfectly functional, lacks the atmosphere its food deserves. The interior and seating are serviceable but uninspired—a missed opportunity to extend the warmth and authenticity of the menu into the design. A bit more “smokehouse soul” in the decor would bring the full experience together. Still, those quibbles fade with the first bite of those ribs. BBQ'd Productions remains one of the best spots around for great smoked meats and hearty, satisfying meals—now with service that finally matches the kitchen’s skill.“

“Always a fun time at Oak Trail.“

“Best place ever“

“Best gastropub in the area. The ambiance is absolutely perfect in the Firkin. The lighting, decor and staff makes every visit memorable. They have a great selections of beer and cocktails they offer. Their calamari is delicious and they have a good selection of shareable plates. As for dinner, you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I've never had a bad meal. It is very obvious the owners put a lot of thought every aspect, from every dish served down to the beautiful artwork on the walls.“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“Food choices were good. Food was hot and very good. Service was good and prompt.

Need to change some of the TV to other games. A sports bar usually shows more than 1 game on the TV's especially when 2 series ending baseball games are in progress.“

“Old Charm atmosphere Geat Food .“

“I just saw this online, so we drove an hour away from home to get here. We came night time, the food was just simple, the lady who assessed us was pretty good and attentive. I would say, must better to go here daytime, for it's beautiful ambiance.“

“Always have great food and service here. Only reason for 4 stars is the rude wet blanket of a manager that sat my daughter and I. Obviously filling in for the goat that had no yet come in. Barely acknowledged us, did not greet us as all. I've had better interactions with DMV employees. Terrible scowl on his face and didn't change the entire time we were there. Not a great example for the staff on customer service“

“MOST DEFINITELY AN ALL 10/10/10/10 FOR DINING AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS AMAZING AS WELL AS ALL THE STAFF !!!!!!!!!“

“Just moved to the Antioch area and Anastasia's is The Place to Be. Best food. Most Sports TV's. Great service. Plenty of parking and convenient location. I've been to every good wing place in the tri- state area and they have the best wings and blue cheese I've had. Can't miss with Anastasia's in Antioch.“
