We enjoyed the food the waiter was a little nervous so it took a while for the orders to get placed but overall it was a good experience
Tried it for the first time today, we went for brunch and we really enjoyed it. Found it off of TikTok and I have to say the food was delicious. The place is beautiful. It wasn't crowded, more people need to know about it. I would love to go back and try lunch or dinner ..
The BBQ is always amazing at Smokecraft. My partner and I visit atleast every three(3) months or so and it has been consistent with our customer service experience. Also, the food is 10/10. We come for brunch each time and the mimosa flight, specialty cocktails are flavorful. A lot of smoked drink options to choose from. We love the smoked pulled chicken, wings, burnt ends, corn bread muffins (comes out fresh) , pulled chicken Benedict, BBQ street corn and Texas omelette, just to name a few ✨✨
Smokecraft was great as always — tried something new (brisket reuben). Was floored at how good it was!
I had high hopes for this restaurant, which opened during the pandemic and has survived in Clarendon for five years. My hopes were dashed when I found lots of little pieces of shell in my crab cakes, and (aside from the shells) the crab cakes were mushy on the inside. I mentioned the problem to the waiter, and a manger came over to inquire, but in the end, they didn't remove the crab cakes from the bill. I didn't ask them to, but any self-respecting restaurant would have done so. My dining companions enjoyed their BBQ, but at the end of the meal, the waiter (who was very nice) realized he'd forgotten to provide the selection of BBQ sauces. We won't be going back.
The food was very good, and the atmosphere was nice. Great portions, although there were not a lot of customers. I've dined here many times before and always had a pleasant experience.
The waitress was very attentive. The smoked chicken was enough for 2 people and it was delicious. My preference is shredded collards but these were good flavorful with a little kick! I got the nachos with smoked chicken I prefer layered nachos so you get all the components in most bites but they were good. We also got the brisket egg rolls that were really good. They provide little corn muffins with a flavored butter which were good as well. We would return for another visit.
Need to figure out long-term issue with chlorine-like smell indoors. But the cocktails and food are very high quality. And where the restaurant absolutely shines like a diamond is value. Money for service and good quality meats hard to beat.
I ordered the buffalo chicken dip appetizer and pulled pork/mac and cheese for an entree. My sister ordered ribs. The best thing about my meal was the pulled pork and sweet BBQ sauce. Entrees come with one side. For the price ($23.99), I'd think getting two sides would be more reasonable. And apparently this place has award-winning mac & cheese and features a $2 upcharge in order to add it to an entree. The mac and cheese is not worth the extra $2 which is already a ridiculous price. It looks good and mouthwatering, but the taste is non-existent. Idk who the judges were for the mac and cheese competition, but let's be forreal...My sister said her ribs were bland and didn't have much seasoning, but again, I enjoyed my pulled pork. Also, the decor/atmosphere is pretty basic and uncomfortable (small chairs and tables). Probably wouldn't go here again simply because the prices can't be justified in my opinion.
Loved this place
Great service, friendly staff, big portions of food and amazing brisket

We visited from out of town and were thoroughly impressed! The smoked turkey was absolutely incredible—tender and full of flavor. We also tried the mac and cheese, beet salad, and sweet potato, and everything was outstanding. Smokecraft has definitely earned a spot on our list to return to next year. Highly recommend!

I pre-ordered a couple of dishes for Thanksgiving. First, thank you for providing this as an option for people! Second, the food I ordered, Mac n cheese and cornbread, was delicious. Both were big hits at the table, especially the cornbread. You were recommended to me in a Facebook group and I'm glad I listened. I'll be sure to stop in for a regular meal at some point. Thank you!

We pre-ordered Thanksgiving and it was amazing! We got the brisket (absolutely divine and perfectly cooked, juicy and tender!) we also got the half smoked turkey and it was surprisingly juicy too! Even leftovers were delicious! All the typical sides also phenomenal/ mashed potatoes Mac and cheese and the cornbread was perfect! Directions were super easy to follow, simple and made our first time ordering thanksgiving meal a breeze!
Since I opened my Ice Cream store about 4 months ago I ordered out and this place did not disappoint! Thank you for making my family a great thanksgiving!

My wife knows I don’t like turkey so she ordered the smoked turkey and the brisket and every side you could imagine and let me tell you it was the best brisket I had ever had and we had over 20 people said the same including kids so as my youngest 6 years old couldn’t stop eating it . Very well done so happy we ordered our thanksgiving from here and will definitely do that more often for other occasions . ( turkey was super moist and excellent ) ( all sides were amazing very tasty)

Love this place! Everything we've had so far is great. My favs are the Mac n cheese and the egg rolls. It's expensive but worth it.
Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room for a full sized power chair. Not sure about the bathrooms though...
