★★★★★ 5.0 Anne Allen · Sep 2025

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Service was great. No wait for a table. Food was delicious and didn't take long to receive after ordering. Loved that they offered daily specials. Overall great experience and definitely recommend. We can't wait to go back next time we're in the area.

Great food, fast service. BBQ is quite good. We tried the brisket and were not disappointed. House made sauce had just the right amount of sweet and heat. Beans and cucumber salad complemented the meal nicely. Crabcake sandwich was substantial, but a little dry. Upon my request, server quickly brought me a little ranch dressing and happiness abounded in my mouth. (That sounds a little dirty now that I read it, but don't take it that way 👍). After leaving the OBX and driving all morning, we used to stop at Hardee's, where the grossly incompetent staff would make us wait hours for stuff we didn't actually order ("I said extra pickles please, not just give me a cold burger on a dry bun with nothing else"). Torturous. SO HAPPY to have found Smalls as an alternative. Yay! Update. C

Here’s what $22 will get you😡 1slice of white bread, a few pickles and pieces of onion, 5 slices of brisket and 2 of the smallest containers of sides I’ve ever seen in my life. Prescription bottles used to show the size of the containers. All I can say is they have some nerve!!

3 of us ate dinner and it was over 75 dollars which is ridiculous. We were a party of 8. The food wasn't that good, the server barely ever checked our drinks. Our food was all delivered separately so we couldn't even eat together. I ordered the brussel sprouts for 4 dollars. They were shredded and a small order. I ordered smoked wings and they were dry. At first I ordered a sweet tea it was sour like it sat out room temperature so day so I asked for a pink lemonade and never got a refill... Was here 2.5 hrs. Won't be back!

The male waiter is as polite and friendly. Went out of his way to accommodate us and to make sure our experience was the best. My husband and I are very upset about the information we saw it doesn’t give this establishment the true recognition it deserves. Everyone should give it a try at least once you’ll love it..
