First time visit. I been trying to get there for months and today everthing lined up just right. Greeted as soon as I got out of my car with a smile and an upbeat welcome. I knew what I wanted. Get me that family pack deal. Got it home and fixed me a plate. The ribs were fall off the bone and moist, smoked just right. The pulled pork was spot on. And the mac and cheese, and beans finished off just right. I did add a third rack just for me. It is well worth the drive. Get out of town for a change. Oh yeah, I don't use much BBQ sauce but they sent me home with a bottle. It was great, a vinegar base with awesome taste.

Tried the new Poppa Smokes BBQ trailer and it did not disappoint. The brisket was tender, full of smoky flavor, and everything was cooked to perfection. Great food, quick service — a must-try for any BBQ lover!

★★★★★ 5.0 Alexis Johnson · Jun 2025

From the moment we placed our order, we knew we were in for something special. This barbecue company blew us away with their incredible flavors, top-notch service, and attention to detail. The brisket was perfectly smoked—tender, juicy, and packed with a deep, smoky flavor that you just can’t fake. The ribs fell off the bone and were coated in a sauce that struck the perfect balance between tangy and sweet. The sides were just as impressive—creamy mac and cheese and baked beans that tasted like they’d been simmering all day. Everything was clearly made with love and care. The staff was friendly, professional, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're hosting a big event or just treating yourself to some comfort food, this is the BBQ company to cal
