“An all you can eat experience. I went in for lunch with a friend and we both enjoyed the food. She had a hibachi bowl with plenty of fixings that she thoroughly enjoyed. I ate all the cooked sushi options I could since I’m pregnant. The ordering system was very simple via tablet straight to the table. Korean bbq was yummy and appetizers were good as well. Looking forward to visiting again to enjoy more of the raw options.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

I’ve been coming to 193 Barbecue for over ten years, and it’s still my favorite spot. The quality has never changed — it’s always consistent, always fresh, and always hits the spot. Their steak is honestly the best I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked every single time.

The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the food portions are worth every penny. This is one of those rare places that’s stayed great for a whole decade. Highly recommend!“

“The best taste in the area Their food is my go to period. Ribs are really fully cooked in the grill. Some imitators be boiling and throw some BBQ sauce on it like we don't know no better. Rolling Rib 2 be doing they thing. wish they opened all year.“

“I used Smoke Shack to cater my husband’s 50th birthday celebration, and I am so glad I did! Everyone raved about the food.

Before my event, I stopped in to do a tasting, and the staff was extremely attentive. They allowed me to taste the different items and actually asked how I would like things seasoned or adjusted for my event. I really appreciated that level of attention and their willingness to make sure the food was prepared the way I wanted it.

We ordered fried chicken wings, grilled chicken, baked beans, green beans seasoned with smoked turkey, and macaroni and cheese. The fried chicken wings were full-sized, seasoned well, and a huge hit. The grilled chicken was also delicious, and the barbecue sauce complemented it perfectly.

Everyone LOVED the macaroni and cheese—it was well-seasoned, flavorful, and definitely one of the favorites. I had also read a few reviews saying the baked beans were bland, but that was nothing close to our experience. The baked beans were rich, flavorful, and seasoned very well.

During my tasting, I specifically requested that the green beans be seasoned with smoked turkey, and they did not disappoint. The green beans were a hit as well!

The trays were full of food, the portions were generous, and the catering was a huge success for my husband’s 50th birthday. Our guests continued to compliment the food throughout the event.

My only recommendation would be to make sure catering orders are ready at the scheduled pickup time. I scheduled my order for 2:30 p.m., and there was a slight wait when I arrived. Thankfully, the delay did not interfere with the start time of my event, and once we tasted the food, it was definitely worth the wait!

I’ll admit I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but my experience was overwhelmingly positive. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious, and our guests were very happy. I will absolutely be using Smoke Shack again and highly recommend them for your catering needs!“

“We are faith based church with lots of love to spread in our community.“

“This review is only for the SMOKED WINGS. They are the best in the DMV for more than 20 years. It’s all I get. With the spicy bbq sauce (and I don’t even like barbecue sauce—seriously). Do yourself a favor and give them a try if you’re ever in the vicinity. FYI: It is a carry-out (grab and go).🛍️

Note: I’ve had a few sides that are fine, but I’ll say you be the judge. However, the mac and cheese is trash. Kraft box-ish. I would never.“

“Sarap ng food at mga kakanin nila dito 😋😋😋“

“I'm a proud Royal Rooster regular and the food is always superb. I'm particularly fond with the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich. The family that runs the restaurant are extremely welcoming and hospitable. I always feel at home when dining.“

“On September 3,2026 around 3 pm me and my husband decided to sit at the bar and eat we where great by the bartender and she was very sweet and respectful in the middle us ordering a gentleman sits next to us and demands she ring in his food and immediately and proceeds to speak to her disrespectfully she then stops what she’s doing and places his order correctly after a while his food comes out and he is unsatisfied with his food, even though it’s what he ordered so he then proceeded to send her back into the kitchen, she fixes his order. He eats his food, pace, his bill and leaves.we didn’t understand what she did or why he came in with such strong disrespect so we stopped her and gave her a 100 dollar tip and told her don’t let people like that stop her shine she was attentive respectful and we will be calling corporate to let them no that she is one of the best experiences we have had at this location“
