My husband and I drove into Henderson on our weekend camping trip to Martin Creek Lake; we were delighted to find Holy Smokes on our night out! The restaurant is small but perfectly situated downtown. The owner greeted us and described some of the items on the menu. The brisket was tender and delicious BEFORE the sauce (which was just the right mix of sweet and spicy). We loved the sausage (pepper and cheese), as well. The beans are especially hearty— best I’ve had!— and the potato salad has great “body”— not mushy, and flavorful! It was a quiet night in downtown, but the ambiance of this space is perfect for a barbecue spot— dark wood and CLEAN, with a small stage that would make for neat entertainment. We will be back!
