SMKD BBQ

This BBQ spot offers some of the BEST customer service thanks to Gene and his amazing crew. It was quite busy when we showed up, but we didn’t have to wait very long to put our order in. There were a few indoor and outdoor tables for seating so we snagged one before they filled up. The menu had a variety of items to choose from and everything looked so good. You can literally smell all of the smoky flavors lingering throughout the restaurant. We decided to try a couple of their combo meat platters. I ordered the 1 meat - 2 sides combo with the St. Louis ribs, Not boxed Mac-n-Cheesy, and the Bloody good potato salad. My husband got the 2 meat - 2 sides combo with the Sliced brisket, Sausage, Mac-n-Cheesy, and the Dirty Dirty beans. Our food came out with some pickled veggies and toast whic

SMKD BBQ on S Eastern is a masterclass in low-and-slow perfection. Despite only being open for three months, the packed dining room and crowd of return customers prove they’ve already mastered the craft. The ribs are a revelation, with meat that falls off the bone at the slightest touch. Their burnt ends are equally impressive—super tasty, juicy, and literally falling apart. When it comes to the brisket, you can choose between lean or fatty cuts; while both are cooked to perfection, the fatty option is a must for those who crave a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The sides hold their own, too. The macaroni and cheese is creamy, cheesy perfection, and the UBE cornbread is a delightful surprise, blending traditional cornbread with a unique twist. The pickled vegetables included on the tray pro

From the moment you walk into SMKD BBQ, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome. The service here is outstanding, and a big part of that is the owner, Gene. He’s there every time I visit and is always a pleasure to talk to. He's friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what he’s built. They truly care about their customers and consistently treat us right. The food is exceptional and easily far outshines the restaurant that previously occupied this space. Everything we’ve tried has been top-notch. The ribs are tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, the burgers are juicy and satisfying, and even the salads are fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. Great food, great people, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a place we keep coming back too! 5/5 stars!

Went to SMKD BBQ today for lunch and boy am I glad we did! First of all, you’re greeted by the huge smoker in front of the restaurant, producing the amazing smell of smoked BBQ before you even enter. You can place an order through a tablet near the entrance or with the friendly employees at the register. We had the brisket, fries, chopped cabbage, burnt ends and sausage. EVERYTHING was great! The brisket was tender and flavorful, but I have to say that sausage had so many layers of flavor, it may have been my favorite! They also have a few home made sauces, a tangy bbq sauce, a spicy bbq sauce, and a white sauce that I would say is a type of ranch, but way better! Will definitely be going back to try more items, but it will be hard not to reorder more of everything else as well!

Omg! If you are a bbq fan then you have to try this place! It was our first time visiting this place and we loved it! The food, service and ambiance at this establishment was incredible! This is a order at the counter smokehouse style restaurant with tons of amazing barbecue selections to choose from, cocktails, other alcoholic drinks and a wide selection of sides as well. Upon arrival, the girl at the counter was super friendly and genuinely seemed to be happy to welcome us. She gave us great recommendations and took the time to answer all our questions. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and the whole setup is such a lively vibe. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well, even outside, the lights and the huge smoker really add to the ambience. Nice !!! I love that it's family-owned a
