We tried this place for the first time hoping for some good BBQ close to us and were frankly disappointed. The brisket was dry and on the tough side, favor was ok but nothing special. The ribs were ok but you can get better at Coscto, the pork ok, the chicken had no flavor other than smoke. Great BBQ melts in your mouth and this was not it. Mac and Cheese was low grade, potatoes ok. Prices were not that bad but definitely not worth coming back.

This place is sooo top notch it's ridiculous. Between the meals, the sides, and the bbq sauce itself. This place truly nails it 100% of the time. Coming in and getting my food, the ladies at the front always make me laugh. I can not speak highly enough about this place. If you are looking for quality bbq, then look no further. This is the spot.

Went for my first visit yesterday… and i think…
Good food, traditional new school BBQ. Great with the new mixed dishes. Pulled pork was good with a hint of Brown Sugar. Chicken was good in general. Ribs were overdone and dry, requiring sauce.. not charcoal dry but a couple more minutes and they would have been. Brisket is a chopped style, not my bag i prefer sliced but is what it is.
Service was VERY SHORT, SNAPPY and RUDE. Not greeted when we entered, No direction was given, as to counter pickup or table service(which is becoming a bit if an issue when places have both order and pickup counters..) Thought that she called me up to grab the order from the pickup counter, was then informed in a very snappy snarky tone that when the food was ready it would be dropped off. When the brought the food she even said that she was pretty sure she got everything to just come up to the counter and let her know… could see that i was missing a side and the cornbread i ordered, but didn’t know if it was in the box or not.. then when I did go up to the counter she got all exasperated and she pulled out the ticket and CLEARLY had marked off everything EXCEPT the missing items, THEN PROCEEDED TO INSPECT THE TABLE FOR THE MISSING ITEMS… the SNAPS at me that SHE WILL BRING THEM OUT TO ME. After we finished eating, we cleared our table and headed for the door and she flipped to the Nicest person and wanted to know how everything was?!? Had a hard time just deciding to leave a review instead of telling them how I feel.. maybe this will get the point across that I LIKED the food.. but the SERVICE could be greatly improved.
Overall I can say that I see why there were so many online orders that got picked up.. the food was good, but the service ruined the visit for me.
Parking: Plenty of spots, old strip mall parking lot shared with a liquor store and a smoke shop.

Get ready to embark on a flavor journey that will leave your taste buds begging for more! Smoke Doctor's BBQ is a symphony of smoky goodness that will have you questioning whether you've ever truly experienced the art of barbecue before. So, do yourself a favor and make your way to Smoke Doctor's BBQ. Prepare to be transported to a smoky wonderland where flavor reigns supreme, and your taste buds will be forever changed. Trust me, it's an experience you won't soon forget.
The staff is always courteous and quick to take your order, but what they don't know about me is that I've been smoking brisket and baby back ribs for decades, so I give them 5 Stars +

I totally recommend The Smoke Doctor, SD. We hired them to cater and serve our daughter’s & son-in-laws wedding. The food was fantastic. It couldn’t have been any better. Thank you so much for making the wedding reception food and service perfect.
