Smoke on the Water BBQ

Deep Purple

Great BBQ and drinks! Casual atmosphere nestled at the edge of a stream.

Good food at right prices.

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is pleasant. There are limited vegetarian options, but I was satisfied. The desserts are outstanding. Portions are generous, but not too much.

Beautiful inside and wonderful outside covered deck with over 20 tables. So pleasant with the birds singing on the trees and hanging baskets of flowers and potted plants on the deck. The barbecue pulled pork and choice of sauces was so good. Large portions.

Fast friendly service and delicious food.

Me and my wife both ordered the bbq stuffed sweet potato the first night and decided to have it again the following night…. All the staff are great but I recommend asking for “Celia” hope I didn’t butcher her name such a genuine awesome young lady that is so full of life and loved having her serve us….. we will definitely return

Ordered the brisket sandwich, which consisted of 3 thinly sliced pieces of brisket like 1/8” thick on store bought Texas toast . That was it! $15.99. The meat barely covered the bread. At least the toast was flavorful, that’s all I’ll say about this experience. Waste of money, be our last trip.

My husband and I had dinner reservations for Valentine’s Day. We had decided ahead of time that we were going to order the Valentine’s Day Special, which was an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert. My husband ordered the prime rib, and I ordered the seafood pasta. We were then told both entrees had to be the same. Nowhere on the advertisement did it state any special conditions regarding the two entrees. I told our waitress I was a pescatarian and didn’t eat meat. She explained that that was her boss’s conditions and she wasn’t supposed to allow it. She was pleasant about it and somehow, she made it happen that we each got our own entrees (we had no qualms about sharing the appetizer and dessert). Every time I eat or drink at this establishment, some kind of nonsense like this happens, and I am reminded that I am clearly not welcome. This time, however, I will likely not return. I certainly hope our server did not suffer repercussions for her brave courageous act of accommodating her customer. We made sure she was compensated for her effort; however, the management of this restaurant is going by the playbook of how nearly every single organization in the Elkins-Randolph County area plays their game. Poor and unsophisticated organization and management.

I do not recommend takeout. Not sure if the atmosphere in the restaurant makes it worth it but the food definitely does not. I called to mention how my order was nothing as it was supposed to be and got laughed at.

Came in and ordered to go. It was 4:15, not overly busy. Sat there 30, no food. Asked about it, said it would be right out. 10 mins later overheard while the cashier and 4 other servers were at the cash register that my order hadn't gone in. Servers take off and cashier tells me sorry. Wait 10 more minutes, got food. Left off one sandwich, Cole slaw and sauce. Then had to wait longer for that. I finally got all my food at 5:05. Not a good experience at all. Didn't alert manager because I figured they knew and would come apologize, nothing. While the food was good once we got home, if I knew we would have to wait so long, we could've just eaten inside.

Been wanting to stop and try this place out for a while. Finally got a chance to stop. Great service. Food was excellent. Got the full rack of ribs. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The wife got the bbq meatloaf grilled cheese. There was no way we could eat it all.

I ordered the brisket and cheese curds. The brisket was very greasy… it tasted like it was deep fried which made me question how long ago it was actually made. The number of good reviews of this place gives the illusion that it is excellent but in reality it is 2 out of 5 for barbecue. Not terrible but not great either. A lot of room for improvement

Don't go wast of money. Bad bbq bad service brisket sandwich was 1 thin slice of dry meat cut into 3 pices on white bread. Pulled pork was dry and smelled like dirty but. Potato salad was not home made seem like sams club brand. When the food came to the table server sneezed on our food placed it on the table and walked away like she did nothing wrong. every thing is alacart so you pay extra for sides. Then this took the cake I asked host where the restroom were she said over by the door and don't leave without paying. What an insult. They must have lots of ppl that refused to pay for the garbage they serve. I can understand why. Stay far away from this dump.
