I love BBQ. The sauces here are great! Wings were good.Brisket was a little dry. Ribs were tender. Very minimal smoke. Greens were awesome. Potato salad was awful. The shrimp PoBoy was over sauced and too much bread. Service was great!

No one in there when we went which was sad since MIL had gone previously and was always packed when she did go even on a week day. Menu very small and very expensive!! Smoke was a bit too much. I simply was shocked about the price for ribs with 2 sides! $28+ ouch! Wings were hot and good plain. Waitress was very efficient. If prices dropped and maybe a bigger selection of food, I might go back.

Smokestack Urban BBQ was an unknown but after we left , it is know and will be revisited . Barbecue was on the excellent level ; brisket was delicious , ribs were meaty with nice smoke rings , pulled pork got good reviews and chicken was pretty good but a little on the skimpy side . Barbecue beans were excellent as was the potato salad (spicy) and cucumber slices ! All in all , it was a very good meal that we enjoyed ! Nice job Smokestack !

Saturday lunch at a bar table. Brisket reuben and 3 meats were all delicious. Good sauce and sides. Maybe not a 5 rating but much closer to that than 4.

Best barbecue I have had In a long time! Coming back from living in VA for 5 years this really hit the spot with everything I had ordered from them! So I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants barbecue!

Party of 15 dined here prior to woosox game. Group ranged from teens to older adults. Food was delivered efficiently/hot/and flavorful. What really stood out was the service. Our server was exceptional. Over the years our rather large family have dined together in many restaurants from fine dining to run of the mill joints. Our server handled our group like a pro. Empty drinks were immediately met with “would you like another”. Every order was correct and no mistakes were made. Big thank you from all of us for a great experience. If you are looking for good food, good value, and top notch service give these folks your business you won’t regret it.

Excellent as always. The spareribs, the meatiest I can ever recall having, were prepared St Louis style with the bbq sauces right there on the table for selecting. They would last me 3 meals! Husband had the combo plate...same thing. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. Delicious potato salad. Nice choice of draft beers.

My wife and I chose this restaurant for our anniversary because we wanted something down to earth, nothing too fancy to go with our clothing for our next adventure which was Far Shot, Axe and Knives shooting and Archery. Smokestack Urban BBQ was so good from our awesome hostess, waitstaff, appetizer, drinks, and food. We tried 4 different sides between us and all were awesome (especially the Mac and Cheese), she loved the pulled pork and chicken wings and I loved my half chicken. Everything was great!

Had lunch at Smokestack today - best BBQ I've had north of the Carolinas!! Good portions - should have brought some home but it was so good, I had to eat all of it!! Great service!!

Wings were over cooked, room temperature, and flavorless. Cornbread lacks taste. Mac and cheese was ok and the mashed potatoes were absolutely cold and a clump. The ribs were ok as well I wouldn’t say they were all that great. Tiffany served us she came by and checked if we needed anything a couple times
I'm not overly familiar with the Worcester dining scene, but was pleasantly surprised by Smokestack. The vibe, service, and food was tough to beat. The location is great and parking wasn't too difficult even with 6 inches of snow. Nice selection of beer and the BBQ rivals anything else in New England.

Good food. Great atmosphere. Great prices too! We has a large party (over 10) and they were very accomodating.

I haven't been here in awhile and the last time was great. This time, I ordered the "Brisket Reuben" which was very fatty and disappointing. The rest of the sandwich, the onion strings, beverages, service, ambience were great. Not sure if this was a one-off or they're sourcing a lower-quality product these days.

Delicious BBQ! Great service! Melt in your mouth ribs needed no sauce but all 3 were yummy!

First visit there today, heard about from a friend. There were 10 of us,called day before to make res. I have to say, it was an excellent experience! The bbq was to due for, especially the ribs. Excellent flavor.! Service was good, even with a slip up.....she handled everything very well.....and most of us got leftovers enough for another meal! Would definitely return, and look forward to it!
