Hidden gem!! Cute little restaurant with delicious smoked meat! I haven’t eaten anything I didn’t love. Country fried pork ribs are my go to even though they are listed as an appetizer. The meat is cooked to perfection fall off the bone deliciousness. Even the salsa is homemade & smoked. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant. I’ve never had a negative experience here the waitress knows exactly what I’m ordering when we walk in the door. Family owned & operated. I will always choose to support the local businesses as opposed to eating at a large franchise.

Wanted to try a new place and almost drove right past it! They have a sign but no lights near to signal that they're right here. We ordered the meats and a half rack of ribs. When you go to a restaurant you're expecting hot or at least warm food. Nope! Straight cold meat. There's no reason to receive cold food if they have a kitchen. I have no desire to eat here again. Corn bread was hard as a rock. Wasn't offered refills on drinks. Really don't think I'll be coming back.

The place had VERY slow service as there were literally only 2 people covering the dining room AND the bar. The place was also hot, humid and had a bunch of flies buzzing all around us. Definitely not going again. Food was ok.

I can say that the Southern Fried Ribs were great. Tender and juicy, plus the bone came out clean with just a twist. The meat is breaded, so it has a nice crunch outside and the meat has a slight smokey flavor. Please try this. Sides were all good, except for the corn bread which is dry and not much flavor. We will be back. Try the meat platter. It was a good deal for a nice selection of meats, enough for 3 people.

I got a Mac and cheese burger with fries. For starters the burger was really good I'd say a solid 9/10. The fries were fresh and crispy also good. Given how good the food was with the good customer service I'm surprised it wasn't busy. The one negative was there was a fly buzzing around but one well aimed back hand took care of it. Please give this place a try

Since my parents live in Oak Creek, they suggested Smoke Creek, at OC's southern border. This was my first visit, and it appears Smoke has been open for 16 months and still working out the kinks? Everyone from the Hostess, to bar staff, to our server were very friendly- that's a plus! But our server was a bit lax, and made some missteps, and Smoke Creek can definitely make some other improvements. Have a drink/beer list at the tables- I love craft beer, all styles. Wanting a craft beer, I asked the server what they had in craft beer. "What are you in the mood for?" Huh? I'm in the mood for a Pliny the Elder! Or how about a list! (Which the tables did not have, no QR codes either.) Feeling this was going nowhere, I agreed to her suggestion of "we have an IPA". Apparently there were over 20 craft beers available, listed on a chalk board around the corner in the Bar area. (The server didn't suggest this, I only found this out upon our exit after the meal). I ordered by its name the slider sampler, but was brought out the Three Little Pigs sandwich by mistake. They fixed this by bringing out the sliders. The pulled pork was amazing, but the chicken had big over-cooked dried chunks, throughout. The brisket is top notch. The caddy of sauces is always a nice touch, and they were all good. My mom enjoyed the Brisket, which was really tender and flavorful. Atmosphere is an after thought here. Besides the cool homemade wood signs and smoked wood vent touches, decorating upgrades are needed, and a little music in the restaurant side would do wonders! The outside seating looked sad. The bar area seemed like a good hang with TVs with the game on, some nice chit-chat, but overall Smoke Creek is just okay.

The deep fried ribs are to die for. The regular ribs were tough and tasted raw. My burger was over cooked. The waitress was inexperienced and inattentive. She yelled mom across the room a couple times, guessing owners daughter. The owner asked how everything was, i said ok and she didn't even ask me why. Had to go up to the bar for refills. Not impressed, won't go back.

Good barbeque, everything was flavorful, smokey and delicious. Tried the pork belly bites: fried wrapped in bacon, moist and full of flavor. Couldn't decide so had "the Meats," which is like a combo plate of everything. All delicious, not too dry, the sauces worked nice, esp the chipotle and apple cider vinegar. Kitchen closes at 8pm. Definitely worth stopping in.

Ever since stopping here last month, it has been a regular spot for me. Excellent food + gracious servings just keeps me coming back. I love getting the fried ribs and slathering them with the array of delicious sauces. BBQ places always get a +1 for me when they make their own sauces. I also recommend the bacon-wrapped pork belly bites. They are perfectly crispy and savory. The first time I came here, I got the "Can't decide trio" (pictured) so I could try each meet they offered. Each one amazing in its own wright, but I've always enjoyed pulled pork the most! The service is also always attentive and welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough, just for the food quality, service, and overall experience.
Their food is wonderful! This was my first time eating here and I was pleasantly surprised how well their food was prepared. The French dip sandwich was perfect, the potato salad was also perfect. My hubby got the Wisconsin burger and he loved it so much he ate it all despite the fact that he wasn’t really that hungry ? and my daughter got the smoked pork sandwich which she bragged on how good hers tasted. Overall they provided excellent food and excellent customer service!

This place has really good food! The staff was very nice and accommodating (we were the only ones sitting outside but the service was still great). I would recommend giving this place a try! I tried the brisket burrito, with mac and cheese, and I will be coming back for more!

Amazing selection. The service was excellent. Very clean. Prices are good too. The nachos were perfectly made and the chips were crispy and hot. The Mac wasn't too good but tasted better dipped in BBQ sauce. Overall amazing experience!
