My wife and I ate here for the first time ever on Dec 27, 2024. We ordered the Pork Stake which was prenominal with one exception. The BBQ Sauce was disgusting's!!! Very sour and smelled horrible and was ice cold. We asked the waiter for a different type of sauce and he told us that's all they offer because it's made in house. The great thing was that he brought us new steaks without sauce. We ended up taking the meal home. The steak was fork tender and the potato was awesome. If they would offer another option or two served on the side they would become the best resturant in town.

My husband , 3 yr old son & i ate here for the 1st time tonight . Lively fun atmosphere. The fries were awesome & different . My burger was good.
Normally i don't care for thick cut bacon, but it was flavorful and not crunchy like thick cut bacon usually is.
My son is picky but liked the mac n cheese, brisket ( especially the fat ) & cheese steak w/ gringo cheese .

The waitress was friendly & accommodating . Even brought us a cut up orange after our son wanted the orange slice from a margarita šŸ˜….
Everyone was friendly. The donuts w/ powered sugar are good too . We will def be coming back!

Well, second time here, probably my last. The beer battered bacon SOUNDS great, but it is far from it. I don’t think it is real bacon. The chips are best described as an Always Save tortilla chip, maybe a Doller store quality chip, maybe. And the pizza, that looks great, but the sauce is just way too sweet for me, and the chips had a sugary seasoning to them too. Not a good combo. Staff forgot my drink, and honestly I’m glad because it probably would have had something wrong as well. I tried hard to like this, but . . .

Edit: Bill C, thanks for the response. As for notifying our server, we did not. She seemed to be having a very rough night & by the time we got our second pizza (first one was cheese only no toppings not what we ordered, and dropped on the floor by our table) we opted to not add to her night. There was definitely some tension between her and the young gentleman that brought our food out, he was not happy with her, but he went out of his way IMO to make things right at our table.
As for the ā€œbaconā€ it isn’t real bacon as in a piece of bacon that you would normally have a breakfast, it’s straight and flat as a board, not sure what it is, maybe ground bacon that is processed into these sticks? Anyway, that’s just how Smok N Pi makes them, telling the server would not have improved that anyway.
As for the pizza, you are correct everything was fresh, and all great EXCEPT I don’t like sauce that sweet, that’s just my preference and nothing wrong on your end, but if your menu states sweet sauce, I didn’t notice it on there.
Now those chips, do you ā€œsugarā€ dust them? They definitely had sugar sprinkled all over them, wife and I both tasted it. The gringo cheese sauce was really good! But the chips are of a much lesser quality. If you want to improve on those, it shouldn’t be too hard.
Thanks again for the response, hope this helps answer your questions.

Place looks great as you pull in, menu looks good, service was OK but it ends there. My buddy and I each ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of beans. What a mess. The hoagie roll was open faced covered in jalapeƱos and onion straws. The ā€œbrisketā€ or rather brisket chips were encased in fat containing NO flavor, smoky or otherwise. My buddy said the brisket tasted boiled not smoked. Really! If you cannot pull off a $13.99 brisket sandwich just become a roadhouse selling booze. I recommend a pass on this one.

I was on the patio Friday night and had a chance to play a few tunes with my good friend Gary Stokes who was performing.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was very good.
The new music stage will definitely be a great place to feature live music.
Will definitely return and hope to try out the stage ! Phil

Smok 'n Pi seems to have risen to a premiere eatery for De Soto. We have gathered out-of-towners there with all 'round satisfaction for young and old.
