Local Smoke BBQ

We love to support local businesses but we’re going to have to pick and choose how we continue to support this one. I’m sorry but two sandwiches and two ala carte sides should not cost $52. We’ve tolerated their price hike a couple of years ago like so many of us did during the pandemic but this is just unfair. I can get an open face Ruben which doubles the portion if this sandwich pictured in any diner and that would probably come slathered in sauerkraut melted cheese and dressing with a side of fries and cold slaw AND a pickle. What I got for $16.25 was a pretty lame sandwich. The pastrami was cut too thick, cheese and sauerkraut left a lot more to be desired. My wife’s also ordered off the special board. She got a turkey sloppy Joe. That was $17 and the bread wasn’t even toasted. It was

I rarely leave a review but this was one of the most overpriced and disappointing meals I’ve had in a long time. The $17 Turkey Sloppy Joe on rye — advertised as a daily special — was anything but special. The bread wasn’t even toasted. The cheese slice wasn’t melted. It tasted completely bland and uninspired, like something thrown together with zero care. For $17, that’s unacceptable. My wife’s $16.25 Classic Reuben pastrami sandwich was at least toasted, but it was just as underwhelming in flavor. Nothing that justified the price. We spent $51.45 on what should have been a satisfying dinner and instead walked out feeling ripped off. There’s a difference between charging premium prices and delivering premium quality but today Local Smokes did not come close. Advertising something as a

Had to go back a second day for the chopped Brisket sandwich, it was great. I was not in love with the red bank location, but this one was the way a bbq place should be. Not pretty inside, not decorated outsode, just good bbq food. The beans were also excellent!!! The only place with better bbq beans is mostly smoked on rt9. But the chopped Brisket at this location is really really good. Not priced too bad... not crazy about the mac and cheese but everyone has their different mac and cheese style, and besides all you need is the baked beans and the chpped Brisket.

I haven’t had really good southern ribs in a while mad me miss my roots. So tonight I decided to go door dash local smoke BBQ and man was I in for a treat I ordered two kids ribs meals with fries on the side and Mac and cheese bites. You are getting full size ribs !! I was pleasantly surprised and eager to bit in. They did not disappoint. They food arrived quickly and the was made fresh will definitely be ordering from them again !!

This location was recommended to us by a local resident from another business. It’s unfortunate that this area doesn’t seem to have great bbq. This location was convenient to get to from our beach house, so we went for dinner around 530. Upon arrival it was a no frills location which is expected for bbq! I ordered the 2 meats/ 2 sides(brisket, pulled pork and double fries). The brisket was super dry and didn’t seem to be smoked but rather oven baked. The pulled pork was tender and had good flavor but not very warm. The fries were the highlight of the meal(thin, salty and crispy). My fiancée ordered the chopped brisket and pulled pork. The chopped brisket was so dry and tough. The bbq sauce had some flavor, vinegary and an okay sweetness. Workers were attentive and friendly. Parking avai
