“First time customer for lunch yesterday. Our waitress Francesca was AMAZING so friendly so helpful and just all around great service provider!! The food was delicious! Thankfully they were not busy so we had plenty of time to learn how everything worked and completely enjoy the experience. The food was amazing (except for the "lobster" balls def do not recommend) Will definitely be returning next for dinner since the available choices look even better than lunch!! Hope to have Francesca as our waitress again as she was definitely a major part of the experience we had!! GIVE THAT GIRL A RAISE!!!“

“First time picking up food from the Fire Pit Grill, won’t be the last time. My husband and I met Steve (the owner) who was an absolute delight to speak with. We ordered the Giants Platter with ribs, chicken, garlic shrimp, fried plantains and rice. It was delicious and the portion was large enough for the both of us. My husband said it tasted like a home cooked meal. Fair prices. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“First time here on 8.12.22. Loved it! Wet baby ribs were amazing...as well as dry rubbed chicken and pulled pork. Homemade slaw about the best I have ever tasted. Cornbread was just right. Friendly service. Thank you!“

“Stopped in on a rainy day and it was a pleasant experience. I ordered the rib feast bc for two bucks more why not get the extra! It was beyond great, ribs were hot and fell off the bone. I usually get the Memphis dry rub but today got the sauce and fond my new favorite. I'm picky on bbq sauce and theirs was soooo good, not Smokey or mesquite but flavorful! The meat was plentiful and burnt on some parts yet still moist. The tatter tots were crisp. The Mac and cheese is wet which was nice. The corn bread also tasty! No complaints here, they even gave extra sauce for him! Also had the pickle spears, nice and fresh! My date had the pulled park sandwich was good. I'm not a pulled pork person but the meat was good and bread fresh. Will be back sooner than later! And the waitress was so sweet and welcoming and checked in on us at all the right times! I also learned today you can sit inside as I used to always order pick up.“

“Excellent food, huge servings. The customer service is top-notch and the food is amazing. We also bought gift cards for gifts, and we had them scheduled to send on a special day. We love Smokies, and the people are great!!“
