Smokey's Bbq & Diner

Went here for lunch after debating many places why in town and definitely picked a good one! Went with family and had all kinds of meat including pulled pork, brisket, sausage and Full rack of ribs. Everything was very good and Ribs were cooked great. Loved the corn nuggets as a side family devoured them. Mac and cheese was also rich and delicious.

We decided to come here for a late lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The service was friendly and fast but the food didn’t lack in quality or taste. We ate too fast for photos but this was some of the juiciest brisket I’ve ever had, and the fries were really well seasoned. We live close and can’t wait to come back!

Oh my goodness the okra!! The food was super tasty. Mac n cheese was creamy. I will try thier catfish next time

Best ribs in town! Always tender! The okra is AMAZING. I always get takeout so can’t comment on the ambiance but the food is good! Great catfish too.

First of all the service is outstanding. I wish I’d left a bigger tip! The register person talked to me about the neighborhood I’m new to and we talked supermercados and sausage. The Environment: totally fine. They had some soccer on TV and by BBQ standards it was nice dining room. The kitchen is partially open and you can see the cooks and service constantly cleaning their equipment and wiping tables. They have a high powered air curtain that clicks on with the door that helps keep the flies out…they love que almost as much as I do. The food: This is solid que. I have to give it extra points because in the modern world of pellet fed electric smoker cabinets. This is genuinely well cooked meats. I went traditional. I skipped pulled pork because I’m picky. Ribs: solid, good rub, enough flavor to go sauce less. They were slightly overcooked but not so bad I didn’t have to use my teeth to eat them. Falling off the bone is a sin! Brisket: man this was good brisket guys. Nice bark, I got the fatty end which I love, fat cap trimmed perfectly. Burnt ends, this is where my constructive criticism starts. It was just a brisket tip. No seasoning or twice cooking in the fatty spicy sauce to caramelize them. Just, a brisket tip. So, order them if you want. But it tastes identical w to the brisket, which by nature was jucier and more tender. The sides: Sorry guys. The baked beans I had were so sweet I couldn’t take a second bite. Couldn’t taste smoke or anything other than tomato sauce cumin and sugar. That’s just my palate. I know some people sugar brown sugar beans and maple syrup beans and all the like. I prefer the savory style cooked with chopped brisket and trimmings. Mac & Cheese: again not my palate. It was runny, like really runny. They don’t bake it. Cheese flavor was processed and didn’t have that homestyle look or taste at all. On the flip side I did mop up all the extra cheese sauce with my toast. I would have like the option for some onions and pickles. The sauce: tasted suspiciously like sweet baby rays. The spicy sauce; spicy sweet baby ray’s too too too sweet for me guys. Next time I’m going to be the weirdo who pulls a flask of Carolina red out of his pocket at the table. Bottom line: this is solid que. I didn’t like my sides today but the fries on my neighbors table looked good and there some veg. I’m puzzled about the burnt ends but that’s okay. The brisket was really genuinely good and these guys have great prices. I saw this kid eating a $4 chopped brisket taco and it. was. huge. I’ll be back for more brisket delights for sure. The sandwiches looked good and I want to see about their pulled pork. My recommendation? Go check it out, there’s hardly any good bbq in this town since a certain ex college football player and redneck the Dixie chicks murdered convinced this whole metro that their food is somehow good or genuine or worth the monster price tag.
