“great place to eat the hospitality was good the food was on time hot I'll be back“

“Great food and service. Ribs was tender and Chicken was juicy. Food is very flavorful. Didn't even need sauce. But the homemade sauce was delicious too. Would definitely recommend my family and friends. I will definitely be back.

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“We dined in. And the place wasn't packed. Very clean. Good came at a nice pace . Service was not to par for them being empty.. then for just two ppl at 70 dollars which is good. They added almost 20 dollar gratuity. Wtf. I dnt mind tipping at all but dnt force me to tip over what the server deserves. Or an outrageous amount. I was also told with the platter I got two sides. Well when the bill came I was charged for one side.“

“Southern Smokehouse is the real deal. Family-owned and run by genuinely good people, this soul food and BBQ spot serves up more than just plates it serves up community, love, and top-tier hospitality. Every visit feels like a warm welcome home, with service that’s attentive, respectful, and full of heart.

From the moment you walk in, you know you’re in the right place. Whether you’re craving ribs, baked chicken, or classic soul food sides, you can trust that the flavors are bold, comforting, and crafted with pride. The energy is authentic, the staff treats you like family, and the food speaks for itself.

I’ll be placing an order today and I already know I’ll be walking out with a smile and a full stomach. More to come once I get my hands on that plate!
