My recent experience of take out at 1911 smokehouse in Trenton left much to be desired, as the overall quality and flavor of food failed to impress.I was dismayed to find that the meat was cold upon arriving at home a 10 minute drive from the restaurant, significantly detracting from the enjoyment of the meal. The baked beans and the mac and cheese were dry and unappealing, and the potato salad was riddled with hard chunks that made it difficult to eat.The lackluster quality of the dishes was a major disappointment, as I had been hoping for a satisfying barbecue feast. The meats were overcooked and lacked the juicy tenderness that is characteristic of well-prepared barbecue fare.The only saving grace of my visit to the 1911 smokehouse was the friendly service provided by the staff. Despite the culinary shortcomings.In conclusion, my experience at the 1911 smokehouse was highly disappointing. The cold, unappetizing food left much to be desired, and the overall quality of the dishes fell short of what one would expect from a barbecue restaurant. While the service was friendly, it was not enough to salvage the subpar food quality. My experience with the food has left me feeling unsatisfied and unlikely to return or order from the 1911 smokehouse in the future.

I love this place. The food is excellent, the prices reasonable (airport venue prices accordingly). I have visited all three locations, although I am a regular at their Trenton venue. As a single woman usually on my own, it means a lot to know that -in addition to an excellent gastronomic experience- the staff is always looking out for me. Smoke House is my family away from home. Kudos to all minority owned businesses that thrive in an unforgiving industry. I shall return, over and over!PS: highly recommend brisket chili, cauliflower crust pizza, siracha cole slaw, potato salad, and chicken sandwich, not to mention the bargains during happy hour!

5 star experience around the board. Very welcoming staff, delicious food, great portions and affordable!Authentic folks and great food. Awesome Trenton gem, Check em out!
I forgot to take photos, I will try to remember next time. I know my order was huge and I should have given them more time before going to the place. I will do so next time. The bar and atmosphere is warm and friendly. I was greeted and treated kindly while I waited for my food to be done. All the meat was great. I enjoyed the ribs, chicken, wings, and my husband said the brisket was good. I do have to say the greens were not to our liking, but after reading the other reviews I get why now. They weren't bad, just missing that neck bone flavor or some form of meat influence. The potato salad wasn't bad but felt missing as well. Both were still great with the meat and we enjoyed our meal. I think it was more on us than them. The cauliflower pizza was great and I enjoyed it greatly. The empanadas were good too! I do have to say, I think the ribs, whole chicken, and empanadas could have been cooked slightly longer. Again, personal preference I suppose. Still the flavors were there and I can't wait to go back. Of course this time giving more time, so not to rush greatness. :-) It really is a great experience. I will go again because the customer service is great as well. They forgot the corn muffins, but called me to let me know (I hadn't made it home yet to find out). I was truly impressed with the follow up. I had my husband pick them up because he was still in the area. They were great. I do love vegan and vegetarian options. I can't wait to see more and don't want them to change.
Good wings and great sauce selection real chill spot and overall good food deff recommend

Food was delicious, tasty, service was sort of slow because the restaurant was also very busy filling takeout orders. The waiters were professional and very friendly. They seemed short staffed. And, VERY important, restaurant was able to accommodate vegan, vegetarian palates.

I got the chicken and pulled pork with yams and collard greens. The chicken was raw and yams not sweet. Worst BBQ ever.
