If I could give zero stars I would. This food is completely inedible.The brisket was dry, no smoke ring, no pink tint anywhere to be found or any bark. This is NOT smoked brisket but steamed brisket doused with liquid smoke.The pulled pork was dry and very stringy. Completely over cooked and tasted like yesterdays food, not fresh smoked like they claimed.The St Louis ribs were horrible. The meat literally separated from the bone the second you picked it up. St. Louis ribs are meant to have a bite to them, they aren’t baby back.The meat themselves tasted of liquid smoke and then they used an over powering sauce to cover the lack of real BBQ flavour.The sides were lacklustre. Absolutely nothing special.I wasted $60 on garbage food.Very small place. Walked in and employees were sitting at a table chatting. There was a small place for waiting and the tables had used water bottles from previous customers. Entrance has part of the wall being held in place by duct tape.
Wow just wow we went there to check it out was not impressed the place is dirty then we got ribs to go imagine our surprise when we get home and realize they gave us chicken instead so i had to drive back waste more time and gas they did take ot back and give me a fresh order but they were rude about it not sure i heard in sorry once from them i dont work at a smokehouse didnt got to schook to learn to cook but i can still tell the difference between ribs and chicken
I felt like ribs tonight so I wonteded to try somewhere new so I went to try smokebox I ordered and sat down to wait thay didn't ask me if I was eating there or taking it out thay just assumed that I was taken it out so I went to my car sat down and wonted to eat but it was cold and hard to chew I could barely have one I went to have the pateo salad that was very good but it hade no fork or napkins to wipe hands with very disappointing so I will not be going back
Brisket Mac N Cheese 5/10 it was cold and unseasoned however the meat was good.Ribs and chicken 7/10 was good but not wow ! Mostly seasoned with bbq sauce and the smokiness of the grill.Also there is a serious lack of cleanliness the kitchen is a mess and lets not talk about the bathroom and the front doors handle.There is no ambiance (music) and its not a welcoming environment. The worker is constantly talking on her phone with friends.This restaurant have a lot of potential but there is a lack of management! Would i go back yes if am not the one paying.
Definitely a must if you like smoke BBQ.They have pretty much every meat, chicken, brisket, pork, ribs, they also have mac and cheese and different sidesThey also have a sharable option on there's menu which is great if you wanna share food and also try different things of the menuStaff is very friendly, they have a small seating area but I suggest to do take out.We got the chicken and rib for 2 ppl , it came with chicken, ribs, brisket, 1 mac and cheese and 2 sides. This is enough for almost 4 ppl I can say the portions are very big which is nice.The meat was falling off the bone and it was very tasty and flavourful.I definitely recommend, you see them make the food in front of you because it's an small open kitchenWill definitely go again for sure

ordered 3 dishes, mac and cheese was terrible, chicken legs were so dry they were inedible and pulled pork sandwich mediocre at best. The kitchen area looked terribly dirty and I almost walked out but because it has so many good reviews I thought I'd try it, mistake! Even the cashier seemed upset that I had walked in and bothered her.
AMAZING Mac N Cheese especially if you add the Brisket on top. Every piece is juicy and then the Mac N Cheese is cheesy goodness.As for the Cornbread, I’ve never had any before so I feel bad for other establishments because this Cornbread is off the charts good. I’ve gone and just bought 8 portions of cornbread. It is so so so good. Good job guys/gals.
Dissapointing.Order :Brisket sandwich 2/5Dry lacking sauce bouncy brisketBrisket Mac and cheese 2/5Dry bouncy Brisket with fat chunks tossed in and sauce less Velveeta like Mac that is bland and seasonless.Chicken sandwich 3/5Nice smokey flavor with two pickles and some slaw seasoning is nice but arrived quite dry missing sauce or any punch .I would not order again.
Tried their brisket mac n cheese the mac is very cheesy and flavorful. The brisket has a nice smoky flavor but could be a little juicier if I wasnt having it with the mac n cheese. Also tried their corn bread which is well worth it. They give you a good portions and overall it taste good. Will definitely try other things in the menu.

Been on the hunt for some classic smoked barbecue brisket and read raves about this place. We took out the brisket meal with the side and unfortunately, brisket slices were very dry and chewy.Chicken legs were so-so, taste depended on the barbecue sauce.. Mac and cheese was very flavourful though.Best part was the coleslaw and cornbread.
Ordered for the first time the brisket and was amazing. best sandwich ever. Next day odered again and was like a completely different place.(update) Decided to give them another chance and they definitely made up for it. Melt in your mouth, juicy, great brisket sandwich. Will order again for sure. ?
DELICIOUS. nice crew and cool vibes ????
Although the mac and cheese itself is a bit generic, the meat itself is delicious and brings the meal to another level. Whether it is chicken, brisket or ribs, the meat was tender, full of smoky flavours and tasted great with their mac and cheese. Even though it might seem a bit expensive, 22$ for one meal, the portion is pretty big and since it is mac and cheese, it is pretty filling.The sandwiches on the other hand are a bit too dry for me. The meat itself is just as good, as tender and has a great smoky taste to it. But for 18$ for a sandwich, I was expecting a bit more. One thing I really did enjoy was the side dishes that was served with the sandwiches; the macaroni salad and the coleslaw. The coleslaw had strong flavours which contrasted the sublime flavours from the salad.
Had SmokeBox with the family over the weekend, and the food was excellent. We ordered the family combo as well as beef ribs and the flavors were out of this world. Every time you step inside, a delightful smokiness fills your lungs and the ride home can become very difficult to concentrate as the smells are out of this world. Highly recommend. Order with an appetite and enjoy! Miguel has done an exceptional job! Also don’t forget to leave room for the Key Lime Pie. The best you’ll find around.
