Online shows they close at 9. Made an order at 8:10. Got called and told the kitchen was completely shut down and could not get food.
Terrible management.

Chops BBQ in Smithville is a charming spot with great food and a lot of personality. We started with the onion rings, which were perfectly crispy and absolutely delicious. For the main courses, my wife had the pit ham platter with cheesy potatoes and fried okra—both sides were flavorful and complemented the tender ham well. I had the brisket wrap with fries, and it was a satisfying, hearty choice.
The unique decor adds a lot to the experience. The walls are covered in paper tablecloths colored by diners, with hundreds of creative designs adding a fun, personal touch. The restaurant's front is proudly lined with BBQ competition trophies, showcasing its award-winning pedigree. Chops BBQ offers a great meal in a quirky, inviting atmosphere—definitely worth a visit!

Decent lunch spot, but it's definitely on the expensive side 20 bucks for a sandwich, one side, and a drink. I had the pulled pork sandwich because they were out of burnt ends, and it was good, very juicy I also enjoyed the spicy bbq sauce I'd eat here again it's just a bit pricy

Great little bbq joint. My fiancé had a house salad with homemade ranch dressing, which was amazing. And the brisket wich was extremely tender. I had the pulled pork sandwich with the extra house bbq sauce. 😋

Hubby and I shared a sandwich with fries. Everything was really good. The fries are crispy and we loved the seasoning. The staff was helpful and friendly.

It wasn't cool to charge my husband's card b4 he tipped, and the burnt ends were really tough. The portions for a platter were pretty sad also
Delicious!!! Brisket and turkey were both really tender and juicy and portion sizes were generous. Friendly wait staff. Restaurant is in downtown Smithville across from a cute little park and there is some outdoor seating.

A bit of a barebones establishment (which is fine for a BBQ place) that maybe could have used some music or something to give it some more atmosphere.
But hey, you're here for the meats, not the music. I had the burnt ends (good but could have been a bit hotter) along with a sausage (also could have been warmed up some more) both of which were quite tasty. The real star of my meal might have the pork rinds though, which were absolutely delicious.
Portions were maybe a bit on the small side for the prices, but not outrageously so. Staff was super nice. Could have maybe used a bit more variety in the BBQ sauce selection, there was sweet, hot and bold but there wasn't much difference between them.
My wife and I were visiting Smithville for family reasons. Tonight, we decided to go out for dinner. There was just the two of us. When traveling, I like to try indigenous restaurants when practicable. Sometimes we are disappointed, sometimes the place is OK, and sometimes we hit the jackpot. Using a Maps internet app, I searched Smithville for restaurants and decided to try Chops BBQ and Catering. JACKPOT! We ordered the 2 meat platter and upscaled it to Burnt Ends and Ribs. Sides were onion rings and baked beans. The Ends and Ribs were both excellent - large, meaty, and cooked just right. Onion rings were excellent; baked beans were OK. Service was most attentive in a homey atmosphere; I must say that little gal waiting on us did hustle all evening. Being Friday night, the place was crowded but we got our food in a timely manner. Parking on the street was good - walked about 1/2 a block on a pleasant evening. A most enjoyable experience with plenty of food for the two of us for lunch tomorrow.
