About Good Smoke BBQ & Pub

Good Smoke BBQ was formed in 2006 in a bid to destroy the competition at Oinktoberfest in Clarence, NY. Well we didn’t exactly destroy the competition but we didn’t finish last either! What we did do was ignite a love affair with barbecue and the... More

Solid BBQ spot. My favorite was the bacon wrapped meatballs. They had a really nice Smokey flavor. The ribs were cooked pretty well. Tender and juicy. The bbq sauce on them is tasty. The corn breads great.

We came from out of town came from Canada. We had Sarrah service. She was very good authentic barbeque food. Very very good. I had a specialty sandwich and the wedge salad was an exceptional. Will certainly return if in the area really good experience great food.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 René Vega III · Feb 2026

Update: I decided to give this place another shot and went with the wing special to explore the menu a bit. The wings were juicy and the rubs were packed with flavor. I was really curious about some of the sauces, but the menu didn’t describe them at all; nothing about whether they were vinegar-based, sweet, or tangy. I didn’t want to interrogate the server about every single one, so I just stuck with my usual butter garlic sauce. I also tried the Cajun rub, which was comforting, slightly sweet, and had a nice little kick. I didn’t get to taste the brisket myself, but my dinner companions mentioned it was incredibly tender. Makes me think my first visit might’ve just been an off night. There is definitely room for redemption here. Original: My husband and I were craving barbecue and looki

★★★★★ 5.0 Marquita Hetherington · Feb 2026

The fact that I’m even taking the time to leave a review should tell you everything you need to know. The food? On point. The service? Top tier. The atmosphere? A whole vibe. We drove all the way from Syracuse to Rochester just to switch it up and try something different—and listen, we were not disappointed. We came for some good barbecue and got exactly that. Definitely worth the drive.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Chris G · Oct 2024

Oh this place is really good. Stopped in around 1 on a Saturday and it was QUIET. I started to second guess our choice for lunch. Glad we stuck it out. Fried pickles were the best we've ever had. I had the half -rack of ribs and they were cooked perfect. Their sauces are tasty and not overdone. Their bar is extensive and beer selection is enough to satisfy any pallet. This has been added to our rotation of Rochester restaurants.
