Food was absolutely delicious! We were in town for a few days and this was our favorite meal. The brussel sprouts were perfect and the green goodness sauce that was served with it was phenomenal. The burger was juicy and flavorful. It literally melted in my mouth. I also had a pecan old fashioned and it was really good. 👍🏻 highly recommend! Great atmosphere as well!

Second time coming here while in the area but had been a while. Menu changed and didn't seem to have much smoked meats as expected from the name. Should've bought a dish or plate instead of the fish of the day bc the portion was much smaller than expected for the price.

Such a disappointing experience. I have been coming here since they first opened. We talked this place up to our friends that had never been. The food was awful. The service was slow. I'm fact she forgot or drinks. They forgot the salads. The smoked wings were fried. The brisket was nothing but fat. The pulled pork was horrible. The salads when they came out were ok. So sad this place used to be so good. I can't recommend it any more. We left the plates half full of food on the table. The only thing I can say is the view is amazing.

First time trying this restaurant, truly a hidden gem on the riverfront with a beautiful outdoor seating area. Service provided by Cheyenne was perfect. Food was tasty and prompt. Will definitely be back again!

We visited this restaurant on Wednesday without a reservation, but they accept walk-ins. However, I would recommend making a reservation to ensure a table. The beautiful restaurant has ample parking space, which is a big plus.

The staff greeted us with smiles and warmth from the moment we arrived, setting a welcoming tone for our meal. For our appetizer, we ordered the crab dip, which was outstanding. However, I wasn’t a fan of the fried saltines that accompanied it; they didn’t quite complement the dip as I had hoped.

I chose a soup for our main courses, while my husband opted for the smoke trio. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and expertly prepared. To top off our meal, we ordered the coconut cake for dessert, which was creamy and delightful.

Dining outdoors was a highlight, especially with the fantastic weather, great atmosphere, and beautiful views. One cannot often enjoy such a perfect combination of ambiance and quality food. We had a wonderful experience and would recommend this restaurant to others.

The view is amazing. Great place to catch the sunset and listen to live entertainment. The drinks are strong. The food was not bursting of flavor but the atmosphere helped to enjoy the food more.

Great place. I think it should offer a little more different food, especially for the location it is at. But otherwise, it was good
