Smitty's Southern Style BBQ

Amazing food all around. I’ve had almost everything on the menu! Visit Richmond one week every year and come here at least twice that week for lunch. Best food in Richmond hands down. Thanks for always having the food ready Ms. Bonnie!

Had an 80th birthday party for my mother and Smittys Southern Style BBQ catered it for me. They made it easy, hastle free, and at a GREAT price. The food was absolutly amazing. Time was crutial, they were right on time. ...THANK YOU!!

We had a great networking event at Smitty's where we had KY TX NJ and AL represented and all of us agreed, Smitty's is the best! If you are local or just a traveler I challenge you to come taste the best BBQ in the Southeast USA!

I absolutely love Smitty's. I am a huge fan of supporting local, especially when you can see the love and passion put into the business and service by the family operating it. It's not about getting rich or selling, it's about providing quality food for the community because they love doing so. Smitty's is the epitome of this. They are always very friendly and welcoming. You truly feel like family when you are a customer here. I eat here probably once a week during the work week, sometimes more. I always have good conversation with Jeff and other members of the staff. They have a lot of things in the works that will be coming soon, and I am excited about that. Everything that I have eaten from here is delicious. Everything is cooked to order and always fresh. It is worth the wait. If you are short on time, call your order in and they will have it ready in about 15-20 minutes. The food and customer service are exceptional and always consistent. I really appreciate that Smitty's is a part of our community here in Richmond. Looking forward to their growth and continuing provide us with the incredible food and service that they do. 10/10 recommend.

Outstanding barbeque and very friendly service. We had 1 lb of brisket with mac & cheese and coleslaw for our sides. The brisket was tender and had a wonderful smokey flavor. The coleslaw wasn't too sweet (which I prefer) and the mac & cheese was perfectly creamy. The experience exceeded our expectations and we're looking forward to going back!

I love supporting local places. From the look of this basic block building, I expected the food to be amazing. Unfortunately it wasn't. The pulled pork came presauced. It was a little too sweet for my liking. I couldn't really taste the smoke. It was on par store bought pulled port in my opinion. The staff was super friendly and the place is what a really bbq joint should look like in my opinion. I will go back and just try something else next time.

Thank you for hosting a wonderful 80th birthday for our uncle today! Your bbq and sides were delicious and your hospitality was even better!

My mission was to find some really good BBQ. My husband has a firm belief ( and I agree) small business BBQ is the best. We’re traveling so I looked for a business not too far off of I-75. I think it was 7 min or so from I-75. When our gps was spouting directions I almost thought we were going th wrong way because it looked like we were headed into a residential area but as soon as we turned we saw the smokers and smelled delicious BBQ. The building is older but very clean. The tables were decorated for the season. While it’s fall it’s still warm outside but a refreshing cool inside. Pricing is on par for BBQ. If you are able to pay cash you can get a free drink with your meal if it’s over $10 ( at time of review) we did not have quite enough cash so opted to use our card. While waiting for the food we conversed with the wonderful matriarch. She had her granddaughter laughing. They also have a map that you can pin your location of where you’re from. The Food: Yum! Fall off the bones ribs was delicious. No leftovers. The Mac n cheese was the best I believe I’ve ever had. Hint I put a little of their Smitty’s BBQ in it which made it even better. We had the Cajun Ranch Fries hold the Cajun and opted for regular fry seasoning instead. Those were really good too but I am full and like to try other menu items next time so I might hold off on the fries to make room for one of their other sides. This is the BBQ we were looking for. The only easy improvement I may recommend would be music. But I was there for the food which was 10/10!

When taking a quick trip through Kentucky, my family decided to stop by. I love to check out local BBQ joints whenever I can. As good as the pulled pork was, the people were even better. I could not have asked for a better experience. Even though we just got our food to go, I would love to come back and stay a while sometime. Be sure to add a bottle of sauce to your order!

I'm smitten with Smitty's!

I finally got a chance to check out their brick and mortar location, after missing out on their food truck visits.. but it was well worth the wait! If you're in the mood for BIG, MEATY ribs, and some crafted, homemade sides- this is IT!! This is where it's at!!!

Pic is just of the ribs, cause I forgot to capture the sides, since they were SO GOOD! lol

Very friendly people serving great food. The potato salad was just right, and I'm picky about potato salad. I also enjoyed the green beans so much that I drank the liquor when I finished them. We shared the rib sandwich, then fought over the bones. The sauce they have was great. It looked a bit thin and light, which made me worry that it would be ketchup-y. Boy was I wrong! So good! My daughter had a pulled pork sandwich, which she says was very good, still hot and juicy! We'll be back!
