We were there Saturday afternoon. Random Google BBQ search brought us here. And it was great. Portions were generous. Price was comparable to other Smokehouses that we have been to. We had burnt ends-the sause was amazing, ribs-tender cooked to perfection, 1/2 chicken-fall off the bone good with crispy skin, pulled pork-juicy. For sides we had baked beans and Mac n chz, both excellent. Our server was very attentive, sorry I don't remember her name. We lacked for nothing. Portions were big enough that we took home almost 1/2 of the food. Restaurant is nice, clean, well lit Tables were well spaced, we had plenty of space. Definitely will go back when we are in the area again.

Food is mediocre and not worth the price for something they reheat. They don’t have a smoker on site, and store food in a trailer out back. Great location and building, but needs better food.

The drinks, the food, the atmosphere and service was outstanding. Their mules are perfect, I got the bbq & brisket, collards and baked beans… I could have ate it all but wanted to save some for later… I like mustard and vinegar but idk what they did to their mustard bbq sauce but I couldn’t get enough. If you love banana pudding you better try theirs. The only complaint I have is I live an hour and a half away😂 5 stars all the way!

My husband and I tried again for the third time. My husband had the brisket, baked beans, French fries and water. I had the tater tots with cheese and 8 smoked wings and a Diet Coke. The tater tots with cheese were good ( how can you mess up a tater tot?). The wings were ok. My husband did not enjoy the brisket and the baked beans were way “over sauced “, and the French fries, well they are French fries! The meal was just blah but here is the kicker…..this meal cost $69.96!!! Are you kidding me? Tater tots , wings , French fries and one piece of brisket… almost $70.00!! I don’t mind paying for good food but I do mind paying $70.00 for basic, blah food! I don’t understand , the “family” that owns this restaurant has other restaurants and the food is delicious which is why we tried it again. One final note, the decor and atmosphere are nice. Better than most BBQ places.

Food was so freaking tasteful, the portions were bigger then other BBQ provide. Staff is super friendly and thoughtful. The place has a sports focus/chill vibe going on next to their pond. Tones of space in the parking lot. Surprised they dont have a Michelin Star.

The smokehouse ribeye was amazing! For 34.99 I got a 16oz ribeye, in house made green beans, a salted baked potato and a salad! The garlic butter was amazing and the steak was cooked perfectly! thank you to our bartender Marie! Super friendly and amazing at her job! Would highly recommend! Hope they keep this on their menu! !! Not a better way to start out my New Year!

Great service, really nice atmosphere. Luke was our server and he did a great job offering specialties, drinks and making sure we had what we wanted to make it a nice meal. I appreciate him and the staff.

My wife and I have been a handful of times over the last year or so. Our last visit was for sure “our last visit”. We called in because our original choice had a 30 min wait for a table. Food was really poor, and completely over salted. We commented when we walked in that we were surprised at how few people were there. Suspect we know why - poor food, over priced indifferent server, not a winning combination. Thought this was going to be a really nice add (fantastic facility) in the expanding community but unfortunately looks like complacency has set in.

My picture doesn’t do this food justice. The food is delicious. I started eating & stopped just to make sure I wrote this review. The mac & cheese was so good I called the restaurant to beg for the recipe. I didn’t get it. No joy!

I ordered this food for delivery and it wasn’t packaged in a no tamper form or container. That is my only complaint about this restaurant.

Food and service was average. The seating area was pretty dark. We had to use our phone lights to read the menu. The prices are above average.
