Stopped on my way home for lunch. I enjoyed a chicken flatbread. It was very delicious along with a glass of wine recommended by the owner.
This is my second visit here in two weeks. The atmosphere, ambiance, and great selection of food are amazing! The owner is very kind along with her staff. Will definitely return to try some more of this amazing food.

Ambient atmosphere, good food… lots of bar space except there are 6 missing barstools near the window. Consider installing popcorn machine, presets or bagel kebabs. This would significantly increase customer experience. Love

Absolute must try if you are in the area! Excellent food and beer selection. Service was top notch and so were the mixed drinks! Server and owner were super friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience a great one. Do not pass this place up!

Food choices are great. Do beware this place has keto options and when asked, they dont even know whats in the keto options.... when they asked the chef, chef stated milk.... which means carbs and sugar....
I ordered the Brisket sandwich. I was very disappointed that it comes on cheap white bread instead of complimenting it on a brioche or pretzel bun. I had bacon green beans which sounded great. When it came out it was just Fluorescent green beans straight out of can swimming in gooey pig fat. Very disappointed and wont be coming back.

Best smokehouse in the area. Food was amazing. Drink was very smooth. Atmosphere was very relaxed. Location on Lincolnway right across from the park was perfect.

The first date night of 2025 at SmokeTown Blues BBQ was awesome! Service was personal and above par!

The flatbread appetizer known as "Vampire Repellent" was exceptional! Great flavors and textures.

My wife has a proclivity for pulled pork and she tried theirs, and as she stated when I asked how it was, "I'm not mad about it!" She even said her fries smelled amazing. She doesn't just hand out compliments like that.

I had the Ooey Gooey Brisket Melt, and like her, I was not mad about it. It was excellent l, as was the coleslaw.

They also offer a nifty selection of deserts of which we tried the lemon bar and raspberry bar. Once again my wife's reaction was one of being impressed.

Thank you SmokeTown Blues BBQ, it was a great experience!

We had the most wonderful experience here tonight. The food was absolutely amazing. Super fresh and full of flavor. Great cocktail options (full bar)and the most friendly staff. We will definitely be coming back to try even more food and bring our kids to enjoy it. The atmosphere was very relaxing and laid back which is super nice and they have amazing views of the park downtown.

5 stars across the board. Outstanding place! Can't recommend this place more. If you're debating trying it out: this is your sign to stop thinking and JUST GO. You will not be disappointed
