Jesse Pepper's Smoke Shack

I cannot say enough how good this food is! The back story and the family working together to have such an awesome place is heart warming! The food... it doesn't matter what you try, you will love it! The portions are a good size so be hungry! We will be going here every time we come to town! Great job family holding up your promise to Jesse! Can't wait to go back when mom is all healed up!

Wow! Can’t say enough good things about the cooking, food, and service here. Stop what you’re doing and go get food there now. My wife and I stopped in on an overnight in WSS and both agreed it was the best meal we had had in as long as we could remember. I ordered the Pepper Platter with all the meats. Pretty sure that much meat could feed me for a week. And the brisket… oh wow, what a labor of love. You can tell that it’s low-smoked for hours and arrives on your plate in its perfect state. Melt in your mouth cow-bacon! Salivating just remembering it. The story of the restaurant and the little family that runs it is well worth reading and asking about while you’re there! And don’t get me started on the coconut cake (eyes roll back in head at the delightful memory). Will be back.

What a quaint little family owned restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic. They had no room, but then they made room for us. The food was delicious. The customer service was amazing. Everything from the beer, appetizers, main course and the desserts were absolutely incredible.

Delicious, real food - and healthier options. Ate here with my large family and everyone LOVED it. From pulled pork to fish and Tex mex tacos it was all great. You can tell the cooks truly enjoy creating tasty, pretty food. The restaurant is decorated super cute too! And the dessert baked goods and treats on display behind the counter are beautiful and tasted amazing! I live over hour and a half out of town, otherwise I’d be frequently eating here! 😅😋

I don't say this lightly... best brisket I have ever eaten, and I make a damn good brisket myself... and I'm from St. Louis originally! Warm atmosphere, amazing service, everything is HOMEMADE! The desserts are off the hook! The house dressing is to die for. Don't miss out on this family owned and operated gem! You'll feel like family too and want to keep returning home for mom's fine vittles!!!❤️
